Goofs:
Revealing mistakes: The supposed "heavy" pipes that Archer is having a tough time carrying into the Ferengi ship that is looting Enterprise are clearly made out of foam since you can see on the side of one of them that some of the gray paint has shredded off. more
Quotes:
Captain Jonathan Archer: What do you need all this for, anyway? You seem to already have plenty of technology.
Krem: One can never have too much. The Rules of Acquisition say "Expand or Die."
Captain Jonathan Archer: "Rules of Acquisition"?
Krem: That's rule number forty-five. I've memorized all one-hundred and seventy-three, including the most important one: "A man is only worth the sum of his possessions."
Captain Jonathan Archer: Back on my home world that kind of thinking almost destroyed our civilization.
Krem: You should've managed your businesses better.

FAQ

I thought that no Starfleet ship had ever met a Ferengi before the 24th century. Doesn't this episode break this continuity?

Introducing the Greedy Ferengis, 29 November 2007
7/10
Author: Claudio Carvalho from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

When T'Pol opens an alien object found in the surface of a planet by Trip, a gas is released and the entire crew of Enterprise faints. Four Ferengi pirates - Krem, Muk, Grish and Ulis – break in Enterprise to steal the supplies and belongings in the starship and they awake Captain Archer trying to find the location of the vault. Meanwhile, Trip was in the decontamination chamber and is not affected by the gas, and wakes T'Pol. Using the greed of the quartet, Archer and Trip lure them.

"Acquisition" introduces the greedy Ferengi merchants – actually four pirates of space. The story is funny, and I loved when the crushed Krem asks T'Pol to caress his ears. My vote is seven.

Title (Brazil): "Aquisição" ("Acquisition")
