This episode was gold in my youth, and love the Steamboat throwback. πŸ‘

A lot of people hate it, but I still really enjoy it. It's a variation of the Brothers Grimm story Hans in Luck.

Wow, really? I can see the connection now, but never would’ve guessed the Grimm connection. Thanks for pointing it out!

I don't know that for a fact, it's just my personal observation. Sorry to give you the wrong impression if I did.

Do you think Ferengi have no concept of intellectual property, or extremely strict intellectual property rights that never expire?

I'm watching DS9 for the first time, just watched this one last night. I thought for sure they would end up getting taken. I love how it turned out.

Remind me? I have a vague recollection of it being a series of ever more bizarre trades but nothing beyond that.

Pretty much. It started out with yamok sauce (whatever that is), then to stem bolts, a few other things until they traded up for some land. Nog was mad about the land and kept calling it dirt, until it turns out the Bajor government wanted to buy it.
