The funny thing is, I don't think Quark is kidding, it probably hurt him deeply losing a LOT of regular customers to the war. He grumbled about Starfleet sure, but as a "people person" the absence of those regular Starfleet officers coming through his door probably stung.
Quark genuinely seems like a good person when it matters, in both universes he risks execution to aid the downtrodden and actually gets executed by kira in the mirror universe for helping terrans to escape
Oh, Quark does have principles. And one of those principles is that its alright to rip off people he viciously hates. :D He's a Ferengi, after all, and Ferengi tend to be very good at making business and personal morality work side by side.
@@jordanloux3883 I just wanna say for Quark, Armin Shimmerman is like a master of subtext, and he uses that so well with Quark. What Quark literally says often obfuscates his meaning. I remember that line "Good Customers are as rare as latinum - treasure them", and it was the episode where they thought Obrien and Bashir are dead. I remember it so distinctly because the way he delivers it really feels like he is genuinely sad that people he thinks of as friends may be gone. He's the only Ferengi who can somehow warp the rules of acquisition for good (like that one infamous monologue about "peace is profitable")
Hopefully they get Siddig, Meaney, Robinson and De Boer to reprise Bashir, O’Brien, Garak and Ezri in a future episode. I’d say Avery Brooks as well, but I imagine their saving Sisko’s return for a live action show.
One of the parts he mentioned on his latest interview on the shuttle pod show was how the teeth in lower decks were different to what he wore in ds9 and you can tell that straight away.
Yeah, I was wondering why his voice sounded a little different. It is pretty funny that people who play Farangi still need to wear prosthetics to voice the characters.
I mean since he's not from Orion he probably wouldn't recognize her. And the whole concept probably isnt widely known outside of Orion culture anyways, since no one on the Cerritos knew anything about it, so it might not've been in any of those bad holonovels he learned about the culture from. With that said, if he ever visits Orion or does a deep dive into his culture, he's gonna be fucking terrified when he realizes who he insulted here.
Well, part of me thought about Star Trek exploring pop culture in-universe aside from [two historical figures and one in-universe one] or classic. I mean by Star Trek era, Dnd would have been classic and I think Orville made a gag where Kermit was treated as one.
I wish paramount + wasn't absolute garbage. I had a subscription until I got an error code that they didn't know how to clear. I really want to watch this season, it looks amazing.
Its the same on amazon prime. I can't stream lower decks through my tv bkx because "this isn't available on this platform". I can always hook up my laptop but its annoying as hell.
To be fair, Quark has principles. He basically saved the Alpha quadrant from the Dominion by springing Kira and Rom from security. If Kira hadn't got Rom to shut down the weapons on the station Dukat would have blown away the Defiant before they got to the wormhole.
I have not seen this episode bit I am going to guess it involves Tendi getting back to her Orion space pirate rootstock save Quark and get them all home.
@@MrHinchapelotas Interesting, but I don't see how this stops Tendi from being the one to save Quark. This could go one of two ways. First, Cincinatti boy talks a good pirate talk, but based on the way he panicked when the doos closed, he folds like wet cardboard while Tendi kicks ass and does the pirate thing and takes over the ship. Second, as the first but Cincinati eventually Orions up and contributes.
whilst I do love lower decks I do not think what they did to Quark here is at all in character... Stealing is not something he will do directly, not at this stage in his character... he is far to wise of a fish for that!
I don't think Quark stole the Karemma technology recently, I think he stole it in the past during or after dealing with the Karemma and before the Dominion war or either he probably purchased it from third-party sources or swindled them in the past before the Conclusion of said Dominion War, either way this happened in the past which only now has come to bite him.
@@someguy1747 this would only work if he interacted with the Karemma before the Dominion War... anything much later, certainly by the time Nog went to the academy, he was already passed that character-wise...
@@danic_c he seems to know it is stolen from the beginning though... which means he was at least very aware of that... which is still not in-character as far as how I see him

@@darthlazurus4382 It has the same writing style. It's just Rick and Morty with a bunch of Star Trek references. Orville did Star Trek with comedy better.
@@GenoX1987 I'm guessing you didn't actually watch much Rick and Morte from the fact you are both insulting it while simultaneously comparing it to something that isn't very similar to it. I'd recommend going back some time and giving it a fair shot; there's a reason why so many people like it. People talking fast is not "Rick and Morte." If you wanted to attack Lower Decks you could call it nostalgia bait, since a lot of the fast talking is about taking jabs at Star Trek.

Rule of Acquisition 57: Good customers are as rare as latinum- treasure them.
Pretty sure his establishment was doing its peak sales during the Dominion War. It would be when the war ended that business went south

"I have principles"
"No you don't"
Honestly, Quark refusing to do business with someone on moral grounds should have been a huge red flag.
Quark doesn’t have many moral lines but the ones he has he defends fiercely.
A business man through and through.
He actually have a moral code.
Well Quark DID see his nephew lose a leg fighting the Dominion, soooo....
And to be honest, it was his other reasons.
Awesome it's good to see Kira and Quark again being played by Aaron shimmerman and Nana Visitor
Such a treat and they nailed kiras mannerisms I think too
I love that they get the actual actors to voice their toon counterparts. Makes the show even better.
@@thrasher930 indeed

Tendi should have know Mesk was faking cause he didn't immediately start kissing her butt as "mistress of the winter constellations."
I mean since he's not from Orion he probably wouldn't recognize her. And the whole concept probably isnt widely known outside of Orion culture anyways, since no one on the Cerritos knew anything about it, so it might not've been in any of those bad holonovels he learned about the culture from.

@@ianfinnigan264 Just frantically trying to find the same Karemma ship so he can erase that tag saying "Diana Tendi is a traitor."
A reminder that Quark provided humanitarian supply's to the bajoran's during the occupation, at cost, well slightly above cost.
The fact that boimler is winning at what is possibly a rigged game.
I can tell armin has his quark teeth in
“Long-lobed halfling” does this guy play dnd

Rule of Acquisition 45- Expand or die.
There is no such thing as over saturating the market Quark.

Just a plain, simple tailor.

I’m guessing it’s the same shop, but it probably has a new owner, since I’d imagine Garak would probably be very busy helping rebuild Cardassia.

Look what they did to my boy! What has star trek come to? This looks more like rick and morty than DS9
well ofc 😂 it’s animated
Its just the current animation style.
@@thrasher930 it has the same energy as turning the sopranos into a animated series. Just because something is popular does not mean it's a Good idea.
