History Recap / StarTrekDeepSpaceNineS06E10TheMagnificentFerengi

* CanonDiscontinuity: Given the outcome, and the opening where Odo points out that Quark will never be lauded as a hero, Quark pulled off a result worthy of a brilliant mastermind. Every one treats him like a money-grubbing coward from here on out... which is now only half-true.

** Brunt tries to surrender to the Jem'Hadar in the training simulation. He's promptly blasted. Also Gaila, who tries to run away when the Jem'Hadar start shooting.

* EpicFail: The simulated mission: Quark and Rom are quickly shot by the Jem'Hadar, Gaila tries to run away (and is shot in the back), Brunt tries to surrender (and is shot anyway), and Leck shoots Ishka (the hostage they were trying to rescue to begin with). Small wonder that Quark rethinks his approach after that.

* OfCorpseHesAlive: After Gaila ''[[WhatAnIdiot kills their hostage.]]''

* WorthyOpponent: Yelgrun genuinely respects Ferengi cunning, and hopes that they can one day join the Dominion.

* CanonDiscontinuity: Given the outcome, and the opening where Odo points out that Quark will never be lauded as a hero, Quark pulled off a result worthy of a MagnificentBastard. Every one treats him like a money-grubbing coward from here on out... which is now only half-true.

* WhatHappenedToTheMouse?: Keevan's corpse. By the time Dukat is seen living in Empok Nor in [[Recap/StarTrekDeepSpaceNineS07E09Covenant Covenant]], Keevan is long gone and Dukat apparently thinks a Vorta's body endlessly walking into a bulkhead isn't interesting enough to mention to Kira.

* ShootTheHostage: Leck does this during a VirtualTrainingSimulation, much to Nog's annoyance. He considers it a MercyKill.

* CallBack: The devices Nog uses to pilot Keevan's corpse around are explicitly the same technology McCoy once used to pilot Spock's body around when his brain was temporarily stolen by aliens. McCoy was apparently a much better driver than Nog, though.

* ATeamFiring: The Ferengi are absolutely terrible shots during their holosuite training. Brunt suggests something easier, like ambushing some Bolians. Nog replies "You couldn't ambush a Bolian if he was blindfolded and tied to a tree!" The first time any of them actually hits something is when Gaila [[NiceJobBreakingItHero shoots Keevan]], and even then, he was aiming at Quark.

* AffablyEvil: Yelgrun, who is quite friendly with Ishka. He's a Vorta, so it goes with the territory.

* ATeamFiring: The Ferengi are absolutely terrible shots during their holosuite training. Brunt suggests something easier, like ambushing some Bolians. Nog replies "You couldn't ambush a Bolian if he was blindfolded and tied to a tree!"

* {{Foreshadowing}}: After Keevan questions Quark on why he bothered running after him despite knowing that Rom had disabled the ship's engines, Quark says that Rom's prone to making screw-ups. Screw ups like, say, blabbering about how the reward is actually two-and-a-half times what Quark originally claimed it to be, right in front of all the other Ferengi.

* TheMillstone: Not that any of the Ferengi (barring Leck) are especially at home to begin with, but Gaila easily stands out as the worst of the group, firstly when he lets Keevan escape, and secondly when he accidentally blows a hole in Keevan's chest, killing their all-important hostage.

* EvilCannotComprehendGood: Granted the Ferengi toe the line on "good", but Yelgrun takes way longer than he should to figure out what's going on with Keevan, assuming that Keevan is dazed and injured and can barely walk due to torture - because it's what the Dominion would have done to a prisoner in a similar situation.

* MagnificentBastard: Quark. Facing down impossible odds and achieving a flawless victory, whilst screwing over your enemies into the bargain, will always put you on the list.

** Also Keevan's corpse. By the time Dukat is seen living in Empok Nor in [[Recap/StarTrekDeepSpaceNineS07E09Covenant Covenant]], Keevan is long gone and Dukat apparently thinks a Vorta's body endlessly walking into a bulkhead isn't interesting enough to mention to Kira.

* DyingCurse: "I hate Ferengi."

** Or unless you count Keevan. [[TheReasonYouSuckSpeech He constantly updates the group on strategic info]], [[TheMillstone lags behind all the Ferenghi on Empok Nor]] and plays a [[SarcasmMode vital role]] [[OfCorpseHesAlive in the]] [[RuleOfThree final act]]

* CanonDiscontinuity: Given the outcome, and the teaser where Odo points out that Quark will never be lauded as a hero, Quark pulled off a result worthy of a MagnificentBastard. Every one treats him like a money-grubbing coward from here on out... which is only half-true now.
