I really appreciate the Ferengi episodes on "Star Trek: Deep Space 9". All too often the show was deadly serious or stuck aboard the station--and so the Ferengi shows were a welcome addition. And, of all the Ferengi shows, I think "Little Green Men" might just be the best.
Nog is ready to go to Earth in order to go to Starfleet Academy. However, instead of just sending him on a transport, Quark volunteers to take him in his new space craft. Is this some sort of big-hearted gesture on Quark's part? Nah...he just wants to use this as an opportunity to do some good old fashioned smuggling! However, the plan goes awry when the ship turns out to be booby-trapped and the only reason they aren't killed is due to Rom's quick thinking. However, while the ship DOES make it back to Earth, it's Earth circa 1947! And, it just so happens to be at Roswell!! Yep...these Ferengi are the mythical 'little green men' that supposedly were taken into military custody back in the day!
This show is jam-packed full of laughs from start to finish. It also FINALLY explained how everyone knows what the others are saying, as the folks in the future apparently have universal translators installed in their ears. Well worth seeing and among the very best of the series. Don't miss this one!
