Little Green Men = one of the best DS9 eps ever.

I love how good an episode can be on it's own without having to be within the continuity of the show.

Little Green Men is the Ferengi at their best. The only Ferengi show that beat it was The Magnificent Ferengi.

Cold Fire was, meh... It had all that promise, and then ruined it by sideling Suspiria, and getting rid of the show's original planned ending. It makes the ending line of Caretaker so much less effective.

"Little Green Men" really is a lot of goofy fun, but I guess people's tastes in Ferengi episodes (whether they be worthwhile at all) vary. I really dug it.

What, might I ask, was the original ending of the show?

I know if the show had been canceled then the episode was created to allow them an out clause.

Sort of like a "Hey, Voyager, it's me, Susperia! I just came back from my subspace interdimensional realm and decided, because you showed mercy way back when, I'll send ya'll back on home now." type of deal, then?

In Star Trek: Voyager - A Vision of the Future, Stephen Edward Poe stated that declining audience figures had led to producers considering canceling the series, and the appearance of Suspiria was created as a "get out clause" if needed.
