Episode Summary & Review
Summary
The Enterprise is invaded by Ferengi marauders, who knock out the crew with sleeping gas and pillage the ship for gold, equipment and slaves.
Our Take
A goofy bottle episode that mostly works because everyone seems to be having fun with it. Ethan Phillips under the Ferengi makeup is a treat, and Trip and T’Pol playing cat and mouse with the invaders gives the hour some real energy. It’s fluff, and the canon headaches are obvious, but as a light caper it goes down easy.
