For fans of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, it’s notable that “Babel” is only the fifth episode of season one, so Shimerman got a handle on who Quark was very early in the series. That’s one of the reasons why his character remains a delight during even some of the worst early episodes (“Allamaraine, count to four,” anyone?). Now that Lower Decks has been canceled, we can only hope future shows and films find creative ways to bring everyone’s favorite Ferengi back.
It’s what the fans want, Paramount. And we hope you remember the 57th Rule of Acquisition: “Good customers are as rare as latinum. Treasure them.”
