Also, Arya is totally Wesley, right?

I think The Ship is a great study of how the Dominion works, and also a great way of modelling the inevitability of the Federation/Dominion conflict.  The two sides just flat out don't understand each other.

Anyone else find it weird that fake Martok went (sh)apeshit the instant he was accused of being a changeling?  Surely there was a higher-percentage play he could've tried there.

At the risk of veering off-topic, does GoT not count as an effective, heavily-serialized show?

But the ending to Wonderfalls is perfect!  I guess that didn't stop Futurama, though…

@Dikachu:disqus   I submit that they are slightly less bad, as they are a direct response to the peeing ones, and so the peeing ones can be seen as bearing the responsibility for both.

Yeah, I seem to have started a fairly pointless semantic argument.

That's true, but my point was that they are all Ferengi episodes, and if we accept that premise, then the good probably outweighs the bad if the true balance of all of them is taken.

What about "has been strongly genetically manipulated and/or brainwashed into following orders"?

I think he'd have ended up questioned, sure, but I'm not going to doubt Garak's ability to pull it off without leaving sufficient evidence for arrest.

Turn on your PADD now for your two-viewscreen experience.

This one doesn't count as both?  I mean, it has Brunt (F.C.A.) in it!

You know, for as much complaining about Ferengi episodes as we do, I think if you actually tally it up, they probably work out to a solid net positive for the show.

Do we think Garak was actually going to go through with it and kill Quark?  I think you can make strong cases for several possibilities:

I love Quark's insistence that Sisko pay for the storage, and how Sisko realizes that it's not an act of ingratitude, but one of Quark maintaining/reclaiming his dignity.

In fairness, these episodes are also available via Amazon Prime.

Indeed.  In fact, I think it was the only indication that Hamm was the voice, as I looked and did not notice him listed in the credits.

How much can another season of Arrested Development cost?  Ten dollars?

The Visual Effects guy was presumably played off so quickly because the producers were afraid he was going to mention and/or rant about the recently-bankrupted effects house that worked on the film, and who had been protesting the Oscars in various forms all day.

Another aspect of this is that the birds of prey were patterning their cloaking and decloaking to further trick him into firing.  The cargo ship didn't just come out of nowhere, it decloaked EXACTLY where Worf was already expecting the Bird to decloak, based on its prior movements.
