    Storyline

    Edit
    • Trivia
      Morn Mark Allen Shepherd is heard laughing at a joke told by Quark. Although Morn appears in 93 of the series' 173 episodes, he never speaks during the series. This is the only episode you hear his voice, albeit laughing. The laugh is Shepherd's own voice.
    • Goofs
      Benjamin Sisko finds his son Jake is secretly teaching the Ferengi Nog. One of the facts Nog recites is that Bajor is the largest planet in its system, and that it has three moons, to which Jake agrees. Bajor, however, is said to have five moons. For example, later in the first season, "Progress" features a story line about a drilling operation on Bajor's fifth moon named Jeraddo.
    • Quotes

      Commander Sisko: Going through my own adolescence was difficult enough. Surviving my son's is going to take a miracle.

    The Godfather aka Grand Nagus Visits
    Characters developed: Nog (Quarks nephew), Quark, Jake Sisko and the friendship of Nog and Jake.

    The Grand Nagus is the epitome of a dirty old man (I mean the hair growing inside those disgusting ears is revolting) and he is on a mission to pass the torch of Ferengi leadership to a surprised individual.

    Confusion: What, exactly, is the Grand Nagus in Ferengi society? This is never really explained.

    Watching this episode made me dislike Ferengi's even more than I already did.

    Watch this episode with the idea of learning more about Ferengi. You will probably want to take a shower when you are done watching.

    As an aside: Jake Sisko is a pretty good kid. You will like him more after watching.
