Trivia

This episode largely follows the traditional structure of a heist film (such as Ocean's Eleven), in which the protagonist spends a big part of the story assembling a motley crew of accomplices to pull off a risky operation.

Quotes

Leck: This is the sloppiest, most amateurish operation I've ever seen. If you ever do something like this again - count me in!

User Reviews

Good Fun with the Keystone Ferengi

I wonder if someone gave a moment's thought to a spinoff. With this cast of crazy money grubbers, each with a unique personality, it may have worked, especially with a juvenile audience. Quark's mother is taken prisoner by the Dominion and he and Rom come up with a plot to rescue her, employing friends and relatives. Of course, the whole thing is ludicrous, but as a stand alone, it works pretty well.
