#TNGWatch #S01E09 #TheBattle

The Ferengi are back! It’s DaiMon Bok this time, whom I’ve heard a lot about, but never actually seen, I don’t think.

*    *    *

Not bad, this episode. DaiMon Bok wants revenge against Picard for killing his son after an unprovoked attack nine years ago (when the Federation didn’t know who or what the Ferengi were), so Bok uses an illegal Thought Maker to make Picard relive the battle. He also tries to frame Picard with his old ship, the USS Stargazer, though that story thread seems to go nowhere. Bok is ultimately arrested by his own First Officer because Bok’s personal vengeance was an “unprofitable venture”, which is just the most Ferengi thing ever.

Fashion Talk: The Ferengi are still wearing their weird fur vests. I hope that’s gone the next time they show up.
