Summary
When the Entrepreneur chases a ship that’s really dragin’ a wagon, nobody thinks to try hailing before acts of violence are attempted. But when Riker expresses a little too much enthusiasm for the Ferengi way of life, he gets banished to the engine room. What’s on the business end of a ball-kicking machine? How could Ben put Adam into cardiac arrest? How do you cover up literally any editing mistake? It’s the episode with shades of yellow.
