Your favorite DS9 Ferengi (multiple choice)

Who is you're favorite DS9 Ferengi?

Or who is the one you love to hate?

Brunt is the best, because of Jefferey Combs (sp)
I don't usually like Nog, and Rom is ok when he's a very clever idiot, which shows how much we underestimate him.

Quark and Late season 3 to the end, Nog

Brunt is hilarious in Magnificent Ferengi.

Primary Universe Rom and Mirror Universe Rom are fun, especially Rom's surprise when he met Mirror Brunt, who was considerably different from PU Brunt....

There should be two different entries for Ishka for the two different actresses who played the part (and played it differently): Andrea Martin and Cecily Adams.

Feel free to add your thoughts about two different approaches of playing Ishka. I know that one of the actressed disliked the prosthetics.......

Quark is the best. Zek and Brunt are hilarious (hilariously evil in Brunt's case).

 

[bbailey861]

Hands down, Quark.

Obviously nobody wants to be eliminiated by Leck (except me, Vorta are clones after all).......

 

[kkt]

Quark, definitely.

 

[Kilana2]

the popularity of Brunt is intriguing

Martin, who played Ishka in only the first episode: acrebic, assertive and subversive. She felt like a suffragette in an alternative reality, demanding respect from a system but also affirming many aspect of that system that did not particularly pertain to gender.

Adams, who played the role from the second Ishka episode onward: domineering, selfish, unapologetic. Adams' performance worked as a generally comedic treatment of Ferengi women, but she felt more like a comic foil for Quark rather than a unique take on a philosophical viewpoint.

As time went on, I think that Ishka reflected Adams performance rather than the character in Family Business. I don't think Martin's Ishka would have pushed Zek toward widespread social reforms, leading to Rom being Grand Nagus, as did Adams'.
