Pull out two strips of Gold-Pressed Latinum and submit them in the little box to listen to our episode on the Ferengi, Star Trek The Next Generation’s first attempt at a recurring villain race which went incredibly poorly for everyone concerned. From their first appearance in the show when they act like incredibly hyperactive gerbils in the The Last Outpost, to their most recent focus in Star Trek Prodigy where we find out more about Dal’s past and the conflict between his old life and his new life in First Con-tact. to one of Deep Space Nine’s many attempts to bring nuance to the species in Family Business when Quark and Rom have to deal with their mother Ishka’s becoming involved in what passes for First Stage Feminism in a culture where women can’t wear clothes.
