Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaMorn 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.
- GoofsBenjamin 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.

Not exactly overcome by grief, are we?
DS9 gets a visit from the Ferengi Grand Negus.
This is an enjoyable episode with some humorous moments and decent insight into the Ferengi.
There are two plot threads that are reasonably strong, and of them both, I prefer the Ferengi leadership story as it contains some decent tribute moments to 'The Godfather' and sets the scene for Ferengi society. The only downside for me is that Wallace Shawn's voice throughout his scenes is hideously annoying.
The Jake and Nog scenes are pretty good, especially when it reveals what they have been doing in secret. The performances of Cirroc Lofton and Aron Eisenberg are quite standard for young teenage actors, but it's all very heartwarming regardless.
Visually it's good, with a cool homage to the opening scene of the Coppola classic in one moment involving Armin Shimerman being filmed in a similar way to Marlon Brando.
