"Acquisition" and the Ferengi in
Enterprise.
When developing a premise for a new Star Trek series, Rick
Berman and Brannon Braga decided that the successor to Star
Trek: Voyager would have its sights set on the past. As a
prequel to Star Trek, Enterprise was designed to
explain how we got from present day, through World War III, and
into the 23rd century. Many aliens that we would see in the show
originated with the Star Trek that was created in the
sixties. However, the creators did bring in a few other races that
we would not see until the era of The Next Generation.
In this episode of Warp Five, Brandon-Shea Mutala is
joined by Amy Nelson, co-host of Earl Grey, to discuss the
Ferengi, and their appearance in the 22nd century. We talk about
seeds laid during "Dear Doctor" for their appearance in
"Acquisition," how their portrayal in the 22nd century compares to
their portrayal in the 24th century, oo-mox, the actors, and our
overall opinions on the episode.
