Star Trek: Voyager: Season 3

3x05 False Profits

Revisiting the Ferengi that were stranded in the Delta quadrant back in TNG was a good idea, but this doesn't really work. A big problem is that it's not funny at any point, and gives us yet again another potential way home for Voyager which turns out to get them nowhere. This time it's made worse because the wormhole would have worked, but convenient science reasons suddenly make it stop working. Abysmal.

Ethan Phillips makes a pretty great Ferengi, though, as he's demonstrated before. He's a great actor who's got stuck with a terrible character. I was also disappointed by yet another terrible Star Trek primitive alien marketplace that's identical to all the others, and by this point feels painful to see. This time they didn't even bother to make them non-humans.

Also, one marketplace guy looked like Neil Gaiman.
