    I always headcanoned that Rom was very quickly fired after DS9… but I have to admit this episode did an excellent job conveying that with Leeta at his side, he’s got quite good job security. … and wasn’t that the Sense-Ores admiral?

    I liked catching up with Marinier’s Ferengi friend from back in S1. Kinda wish they did a little bit more with that plot.

    I tend to feel awkward when I see characters acting awkward… to that extent I had a little trouble getting through Tendi and Rutherford’s story. I like them more when they get to be big nerds—which we admittedly had quite a bit of this episode.

    Beyond that… I find it interesting that the Parlament class now has a CGI model. Lower Decks traditionally saves the CGI budget for ships that get into combat or major fan service. The Parlament vessel doesn’t really qualify for either in this episode. I wonder if it’s going to be a casualty of the mystery ship later in the season.

    Also, did I hear right that the Ferengi Lower Decker was in communication with the mysterious vessel?

      That’s what I got too. He was both expecting them, and also said they told him they’d make a lot of profit.

      Also… Parliament :) Canadians see the word often 😄

      As Grand Nagus, I don’t think there’s anyone higher up to fire him. The position is a weird cross of king, CEO, and Pope. Only death or resignation seems to be able to oust a Grand Nagus.

        Ferengi would have no problem assassinating him if doing so were more profitable than not. I suspect Leeta does some Lord Vetinari-ing behind the scenes to make sure that leaving Rom be is preferable.
