🖖Star Trek DS9 S02E07 Full Length Reaction

S02E07 Rules of Acquisition

This week we get a Ferengi episode and a bit more depth to Quark. He's one of the most intriguing characters to me - I like him a lot but then he does do some shady stuff! There are many sides to him I think but he has a good heart. Looking forward to learning more about him as the show goes on. Engage! 🖖

Oh Jen, I envy you seeing this show for the very first time.....and episodes like this one are a big part of why I am envious.

Tongo is basically poker on steroids.

To quote Zapp Brannigan... "PEOPLE OF EARTH! shhhhhh."

My comments, spoiler free... There is no list of all the Rules of Acquisition. They intentionally kept it vague so future writers could make up whatever was needed. The game they are playing is Tongo, which never had the rules laid down for the same reason. The beetle snuff is Hupyrion, the same species as Nagus Zek's servant Mai'hardu. I love that the cost price is LESS than 25% of what the Ferengi would sell it for. As others have said, the contol center for DS9 is called Ops, short for Operations. This is a good episode looking at Quark's character, as well as the way Ferengi treat women. Ferengi culture is explored quite a bit in future episodes as well.

The Dominion huh? Never heard of them.

Learning the rules of acquisition is a long process - you'll keep learning new ones throughout Trek. There's a list somewhere that's still incomplete, and its very long indeed!
