Don't forget the companion book, The Adventures of Huckleharry Kim.

Who would buy a book about an Ensign?

He died for your sins, you know.

How quickly you forget our savior Tuvix, blasphemer?

[–] teft@startrek.website 7 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Our Tuvix, who art in the transporter buffer, hallowed be thy name; thy episode come; on earth as it is in the delta quadrant. Give us this day our daily orchid. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us, especially that bitch Katherine Janeway. And lead us not into moral dillemas; but deliver us from evil.

Tuvix never came back. Harry returned from the dead!

He dies like 7 times. Deadlock, Timeless, Non Sequitur, Emanations, Endgame, Year of Hell, and Course Oblivion. 3 or 4 of those he comes back.

I love this meme so so much, it's brilliant.

It's also genius Ferengi ...... he's being paid by the workers to do the work he was originally forced to complete.

I love how contentious Twaining is on the Greatest Trek podcast

This is hilarious, but… is it just me or is Rom's face a bit of a nightmare fuel scenario? 😅

[–] The_Picard_Maneuver@startrek.website 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Ferengi faces would be terrifying if it wasn't for their personalities. And put on a human body? Shivers.

[–] interolivary@beehaw.org 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Yeah the term "shrieking heebie jeebies" springs to mind.

Good point about the personality though, somehow the hyperlibertarian scammer thing they have going on makes them feel less threatening, although I guess that should probably make them even more horrifying?

Lol, absolutely.

I think the story is that they intended the Ferengi to be more intimidating in TNG, but they just weren't, so they moved on.
