Voyager finds two Ferengi who came to the Delta Quadrant via the Barzan Wormhole using their superior technology to be gods to a primitive culture. (See Star Trek: The Next Generation episode "The Price.") The Voyager crew wants to stop the reign of these false gods while using the wormhole to get home. Written by laird-3
The story is good, but the ending ruins it. The idea of Ferrengi finding a way to the Delta Quadrant and then exploiting a primitive community of humanoids is awesome. However, when you use deus ex machina to end the episode because you have five minutes of time left is ridiculous and poor writing skills.
Actually, I believe this is one of the more interesting episodes, but because the ending is forced it makes the idea of the escape seem unreasonable and illogical. They could have finished the episode different and given dues where they were deserved.
