Game The Most Disliked Ferengi Episode, 2025 Edition

[Detached Nacelle]

Mugato Gumato is removed from this list but at what tractor factor?

As with every Lower Decks episode you are in for a fun ride and I think this is the most fun time on the list.

TNG Season 1: “The Battle”
TNG Season 3: “The Price”
TNG Season 3: “Menage A Troi”

ENT Season 1: “Acquisition”
LD Season 1: "Envoys"
PIC Season 3: "Disengage"

 

[Farscape One]

Saving "RULES OF ACQUISITION".

A good episode, and a clever way to introduce the Dominion. (Who'd have thought that a Ferengi episode would be the first mention of such an important part of the show?)

Also, many of the Rules of Acquisition can easily be used in your daily lives.

[Seven of Five]

It's already getting difficult to choose.

The Battle added a little more respect the Ferengi.

[Cyfa]

LDS: "Envoys" so much fun, but Quimp turning out to be quite the suave and debonair Ferengi was a nice surprise!

[Farscape One]

Taking out "Disengage".

This one is better than all the remaining episodes.

[Sakonna]

"Suspicions" - give me a bunch of different aliens and I am satisfied.

VOY Season 3: “False Profits”
VOY Season 7: "Inside Man"

[Detached Nacelle]

Despite the contradictory premise of the plot. Emperor's New Cloak is still a lot of fun and such a soothing shade of grey.

TNG Season 5: “The Perfect Mate”
TNG Season 7: “Bloodlines”

I'm stuck they're all terrible.

The Emperor's New Cloak is an awful way to send out the MU arc, but there's some humour in it making me want to save it.

Oops Ninja'd!

I'll go instead with the boring Bloodlines. It was the most random reappearance of a character in S7, but at least it was a sequal to the infinitely better The Battle.

TNG Season 3: “Menage A Troi”
TNG Season 5: “The Perfect Mate”
VOY Season 3: “False Profits”
VOY Season 7: "Inside Man"

[Cyfa]

As much as I enjoy Lwaxana, I enjoy ENT: Acquisition more.

Well, I enjoy Trip in his underwear more (but the Ferengi are pretty funny).

TNG Season 3: “The Price”
TNG Season 3: “Menage A Troi”
TNG Season 5: “The Perfect Mate”
VOY Season 3: “False Profits”
VOY Season 7: "Inside Man"

 

[Farscape One]

Having a "Menage a Troi".

It was a fun episode. And Picard quoting Shakespeare is NEVER a bad thing.



TNG Season 3: “The Price”
TNG Season 5: “The Perfect Mate”
VOY Season 3: “False Profits”
VOY Season 7: "Inside Man"

 

[Detached Nacelle]

We have an eggmergency, Inside Man has been saved from the list. Holo Barclay was a dick but that was the point.

TNG Season 3: “The Price”
TNG Season 5: “The Perfect Mate”
VOY Season 3: “False Profits”

 

[Poldon]

"The Price" is a guilty pleasure of mine.

TNG Season 5: “The Perfect Mate”
VOY Season 3: “False Profits”

 

[Sakonna]

"The Perfect Mate" is so much better than "False Profits." Famke is great in it! So saving that.

"False Profits" wins, and do I ever hate it. There were so many fun ways Voyager could have followed up on the Ferengi from "The Price", and this is what we get? It's hard to actually sit through.

 

[Detached Nacelle]

Not the winner I expected at all but surprises are part of the game

 

[Farscape One]

Oh, I was expecting that one to win. It's just awful. (In fact, I give my reasons why I took it out of the current VOY 'Least Disliked' games.)

 

[Sakonna]

Family Business is next for me. I enjoyed the introduction of Ishka here.

Did anyone else prefer the original acrtress to the later one, or was it just me?

I liked both Ishka's, and consider this one of Trek's few (only?) successful recasts. It feels like the same character (unlike, say, the three Ziyal's, none of whom remotely connect to any of the others), yet both performances feel alive.

The Delta Flyers pod just did their "Family Business" episode and it was interesting to hear how down they all were on Andrea Martin's performance. Armin talked about the breakdown she experienced wearing it. They seemed to really see her struggle with the makeup on screen, but I can't say I ever did. I've long known she had a tough time shooting it, but I think she ultimately delivered.
