@@Brasswatchman - Yeah, I mean the episode ended with Tendi lying on Rutherford’s chest as they crawled through a Jeffries tube and neither one was the least bit self-conscious about being that intimately close. That being said, I’m pretty sure that Rutherford probably has some romantic feeling s for Tendi (even if he’s not aware of it). That “…gorgeous green eyes” line seemed way too specific and at the forefront of his mind for it to not be.
Their issue is that they assumed being friends and dating are exlusive. There are friends who appear more like lovers and lovers who appear more like mortal enemies.
Her observation about the waiter wearing one of those “velour uniforms that used to catch fire all the time” is a VERY layered and deep cut. Well done.
The way the main Ferengi guy comes up and suddenly sentences the other couple to jail for lying, makes me really think it was a setup, and he knew they weren't a couple. Ferengi have really great hearing after all, he could probably hear them saying "lets just be friends" and wanted to prevent them from ruining his show. He sorta designed the whole situation to force them to go as far as possible, likely for entertainment. The couple going to jail was staged as a thinly veiled threat to keep them in-line for the show.
Here's a tip, from someone who had to pretend to date their bestie before, drop the pet names. It makes it sounds like you're trying too hard. Just call eachother what you normally do, just with a bit more affectionate tone.
2:09 It's funny how it goes from people visually being shocked that such a thing is happening (especially at a restaurant) to hearing excited cheering, to going back to their meals. That and how most of the cheering seem to be coming from females, I guess Rutherford and Tendi are considered very attractive to female Ferengi XD.
It vaguely reminds me of the Quark’s in the old Star Trek Experience at the Las Vegas Hilton, may it rest in peace ❤️ - the hotel was famously cursed after it closed.
Its actual a legislation that was hinted at near the end of DS9, isn't it? Part of the progressive reforms? Amusingly there is at least one background Ferengi female who is, shall we say, being a traditionalist... The best humour in this show seems to come from realistic examinations of the comedic side-effects and implications.
The fact there's a homewrecker package means this happens often enough in that hotel to make financial sense to offer.
A good Ferengi is prepared for any business opportunity.
Ah, so theyre in the "been friends so long a relationship is awkward" stage.
I think it's more the "Ferengi browbeating us into romantic cliches makes things awkward" stage.

@@CJ-442 Oh, yeah. I completely agree. Rutherford's got it bad. That _"I love you too!"_ slipped out entirely too easily for me to believe otherwise.
LOL, as soon as he got the deal his guilt went away and just went in for the meal, he's truly a credit to his species!
"Can I interest you in our homewrecker package?"

If we learned they were on a Ferengi reality tv show, I honestly wouldn't be surprised

I can get behind Dr. Birdman's species' main goal in life 🤤

"Muffin..... top" 😂
Woman behind Tendi in traditional female Ferengi garb.
Mmm......thats looks like a Betazoid weeding dress.
I'm sure in the future that Rutherford and Tendi will finally confess their feelings 💖for each other and be a couple for real.
Im counting the seconds :'v
They should just kiss and get it over with.
Right? XD
SUUUUUUUUUUUUREEEE!!!!!!!
Am I the only one that thinks Jerry Goldsmith's theme from Star Trek TMP is playing in the background is hilarious? 🤣
I like to think that that's the official Starfleet March in universe.
No - it is so Lower Decks of them to do that!
Figlimo had me laughing harder than I have in a long while
i just noticed the nude ferengi woman(?) sitting in the background behind Tendi
Yes! :D They can wear clothes now but they had to be in the nude before.
@@PoisonVibe666thanks be that got changed.

She's not naked, she's wearing traditional Ferengi female attire

Is this restaurant the Planet Hollywood of Ferengenar?
Not exactly.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_Trek:_The_Experience
The soft background music is the TNG theme!
Wait…why was the ferengi female behind Tendi naked?
remember in ds9 when they said that it was illegal for female ferengi to wear clothes
Ferengi tradition is that women never wear clothes. Rom changed the law. But of course there's still going to be traditionalists around.
So close… I mean, great that two attractive people didn’t do it
I hate how dumbed down the ferengi are now. WHY ARE FEEEEMALES WEAR CLOTHES. GAH MY LOBES!!!

@@Twilord_ Two, even! At 0:04 you can see both, though the waiter almost immediately covers them.
