I thought this was 90210 in space, according to all the haters. Can anyone tell me in which episode of 90210 the cannibals try to eat everyone?
Thought this was a fantastic episode, the setup was good with the practice mission. Not the biggest fan of another sudden ambush after the pilot episode, but I think it worked well enough. Crazy that they actually killed someone from the main supporting cast, but at least it wasn’t Kyle.
My biggest complaint were probably the action scenes. It’s just a fast blurry mess of dark to me.
Oh and I thought B’avi was called Bobby.
Yeah it’s hilarious all the people (who probably aren’t even Star Trek Fans) who went on massive rants about the show before it was even released. I look forward to all their heartfelt apologies.
Wasn’t Roddenberry’s original concept for the Ferengi closer to the Furies in this episode?
They were supposed to have large bat ears and the cannibalism rings a bell too — at least the rumours Picard mentions about the Ferengi in TNG ‘Encounter at Farpoint’ included cannibalism.
While the “capitalists on steroids” concept for the Ferengi doesn’t align with the Furies, I still can’t help thinking that Secret Hideout and the Roddenberry estate haven’t pulled out another old idea and reworked it.
Roddenberry’s concept was reworked in the posthumous Andromeda tv show that combined a few of his ‘trunk’ of concepts that were never greenlit. According to the fandom wiki, Magog in Andromeda were “a savage bloodthirsty species feared throughout the universe…(with) baser instincts to kill other living beings for food, or forcibly infest them with Magog eggs for reproduction.“
This ForgottenTrek page on the Ferengi does mention cannibalism and big ears, but I don’t see the prosthetics sketch with the big bat ears that I am recalling.
Do [email protected] or [email protected] happen to have any other references for the original Ferengi concept at hand?
Oh good, I’m not the only one who thought “B’avi” was “Bobby”
I thought it was a Doug thing lol
Personally I’d compare it to The O.C. (there are a lot of Trek connections).
Does O.C. have an episode with cannibals?
That’s why Marissa isn’t in season four.
Directly: no. By association: yes.
Malinda Clark was on a episode of Firefly, which did have cannibals.
She also did an episode of “Enterprise” so I guess it’s all Trek canon.
