Ishka was ALOT more tolerable when her name was Pel

[Navaros]

Upon rewatching Rules of Acquistion it has occurred to me that Ishka was a lot more tolerable when her name was Pel.

With Ishka all they did was copy and paste the Pel character, and then make her older, uglier, and extremely annoying.

Really, there was no reason to do this when they already had Pel who could have served the exact same function in a tolerable instead of annoying way.

The later Ferengi episodes would have been far more watchable if Pel was used instead of Ishka in every single scene that Ishka ever appeared in.

But we wouldn't have heard Rom's extremely goofy way of saying "Mooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooogie!!!", nor would we have had the complete WTF moment of Quark finding Zek and his servant, and later on Brunt, in his closet.

I preferred Ishka. Pel just annoyed the hell out of me, and it was funny that it was Quark's mum leading the Ferengi from behind the Nagus. Plus, if it was Pel instead of Ishka, the Magnificent Ferengi would have played out very differently, and I love that episode as it is.

No way, Ishka was awesome. She was a great foil for hilarity with Quark and Rom.

That was one of the funniest Quark scenes in the show. When I re-watched the whole thing about a year ago, I'd completely forgotten about it.....awesome moment.
