S4E44 - Not Our Orange Hypercapitalist Gremlins

Episode Notes STRIKE! Quark's bar workers unionize. Unfortunately, this is against Ferengi law, and also anathema to Cop Odo. Maybe that's why they love each other so much. Where did Rom get hold of a copy of Marx translated into Ferengi? Jude gets frustrated with the relentless flirting between Dax and Worf. Odo has been sitting on that datapadd for SO long (and how are Enterprise security reports not classified to some degree?). Jude was physically wounded by this episode. What is the writer-room origin of the Ferengi? The immeasurable depths of Quark. Labor in the 24th century. For this episode we were delighted to be joined by Aaron (Zathras)'s friend Sabiha Basrai!
