1 | * BizarroEpisode: The idea of Zek being deposed and Brunt being his temporary replacement, and even an episode dedicated to a feminist revolution in the rigidly patriarchal Ferengi culture, are interesting enough premises on their own, but most of the episode's focus is on the spectacle of Quark pretending to be a woman to win the support of a major businessman. |
2 | * HilariousInHindsight: "Slug-o-cola" could be considered a reference to "Slurm" from ''WesternAnimation/{{Futurama}}''... but ''Futurama'' didn't debut until a year after this episode first aired. |
3 | * SoBadItsGood: ''Series/StarTrekDeepSpaceNine'' is widely and rightfully acclaimed for being one of the [[DarkerAndEdgier darkest]] and most [[BlackAndGreyMorality morally complex]] ''Star Trek'' series ever. This episode [[ItMakesSenseInContext is about a]] [[DenserAndWackier Ferengi sex change.]] |
4 | * TookTheBadFilmSeriously: Instead of an actor, it was the director, Alexander Siddig, who did this, viewing an admittedly bad farce as instead a dramatic piece. As a result, even the bits that could have worked ended up not working. |
5 | * UnintentionallySympathetic: Quark. Even though he's a {{Jerkass}}, he goes out of his way trying to help Zek and Ishka, and he's still treated as being unhelpful. |
6 | * UnintentionallyUnsympathetic: Ishka. Until she has her heart attack, she spends the entire episode being incredibly ungrateful to Quark about everything. And this is not long after [[Recap/StarTrekDeepSpaceNineS06E10TheMagnificentFerengi Quark risked his own life to rescue her from the Dominion]]. |
