Little Green Men

Flying Spaghetti Monster

very funny episode.
I think the wittiest bit is a little tribute to anyone who follows the show. It's when Quark says that the Ferengi's have been watching human culture for some time and then he brings up things that are particular to the show: baseball (Sisko) root beer) from (WOTW), darts (Obrien and Bashir,) and atom bombs. the fact is the joke is more clever because of how it represents a bit of the tapestry of the series
 
I loved it...
"They're mimicking us!"
The cigarettes, Odo as a German Shepard, etc... great!
 
"We're helpless! We're harmless! We just want to sell you things!"

"The first landing parties will arrive here."
"Where?"
"Here, right by this blue blob."
"You mean your people are going to invade... Cleveland?"

"Nurse Garland, I'm having trouble with my ear again. Could you massage it some more?"
"Are you sure you don't want a doctor to look at that?"
"No. I feel more comfortable with you. (She starts rubbing his ear, inadvertently giving him oo-mox.) Ah...much better."
"You know, come to think of it, my ear's bothering me too."

"All I ask is a tall ship and a load of contraband to fill it with."

"If they'll buy poison, they'll buy anything!"
 
Yeah, I really love Quark's questions and comments about weapons of mass destruction and tobacco. A really nice, somewhat subtle bit of criticism about the absurdity of some human vices.
 
An incredibly awesome and hilarious episode. A fine example of a 'Ferengi episode' done well, at its best even.
 
Oddly enough, my girlfriend and I just watched this episode this evening. She's not the biggest trek fan, but has come to enjoy the series and watches episodes with me a lot. She was tired and we have watched many of the episodes leading up to the Dominion War, so we tried something light tonight.

I enjoyed the episode, had not seen it for years. My only complaint would be using time travel to often.....I know it was supposed to be a fun episode, but it was about as made up of a way to have the characters go back in time as they could have come up with.
