    Storyline

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      The Ferengi Muk asks "Do I look like a Menk to you?" The Menk were the lesser evolved species of the planet Valakia (the Valakians being the dominant species) seen in Dear Doctor (2002). In that same episode, the Valakians mention the Ferengi, but no one on Enterprise has ever heard of them.
    • Goofs
      Archer asks Tucker to get some Phase Pistols. Tucker says the Ferengi cleaned out the armory; however, the Ferengi ship where the goods are being stored is not even 10 meters from them at this point (Krem is making Archer transfer stuff from Enterprise to the Ferengi ship).
    • Quotes

      Grish: [talking to someone off camera] Where is the vault? Do you understand me?

      [next shot shows that he's talking to Porthos the dog, who barks back at him]

      Grish: I can't lock onto its language.

      Muk: It's a lower life form, you fool. Probably the captain's next meal.

      Grish: Don't be so sure. Look at the size of its ears.

    Federation, Meet the Ferengi
    This episode opens with the Ferengi, the businessmen of the universe, on board the Enterprise. Some gas has been released on board and the crew is unconscious. Tripp is the only one conscious because he was in a decontamination chamber. The Ferengi (who are not called that at this stage) begin to loot the ship. They take all kinds of random stuff and pile it up. They awaken Archer because they believe he knows where a huge supply of gold is. Meanwhile, Tripp moves around the ship trying to figure out how to help. This is a pretty delightful effort with lots of humor. The Ferengi are quite formidable, despite being so ridiculous. We won't meet them again until the Next Generation. The plot to reclaim the ship is fun to watch.

    FAQ1

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