I'm probably in a minority where I preferred tng to ds9, and I identify ds9 as the "darker grittier trek" that led to the long vacuum of trek. It was extraordinary, but like a lot of outliers, I think it gave the studios the wrong message about what people wanted.
I think ds9 and tng are the two most beloved series and it’s not uncommon at all to prefer tng. If you prefer TNG ferengi episodes, though, I would say that’s an amazingly uncommon opinion.
I just watched captains holiday last night from tng season 3 and at least the ferengi "slovak" was recognizable as a ferengi. They seemed pretty figured out by that point. It was nice... the season one stuff was ridiculous.
To be fair, that actor was also one of the most iconic ferengi in DS9. Max Grodenchik, who played Rom.
Oh yeah, I knew that! I remember when I first found out. It was a pleasant surprise!
Yeah, he was in a couple ferengi episodes, I believe. Along with Armin Shimmerman and even Ethan Phillips (Menage a Troi)! It's always fun seeing actors who became main characters show up in TNG and DS9.
