Probably the DS9 episode where they give Quark a sex change operation and the Ferenghi liquidator tries to rape him.
They should delete that episode, there's no value in watching it.
For me, it echoed real life, when someone with power over you wants something you shouldn't have to and don't want to give. It was uncomfortable, and I'm glad they did it.
I think the problem was it was treated as a comedy and not a serious issue which it could have been.
Maybe comedy was the way they got it on air at that time. I seem to remember an article about the size of the bosom they gave Quark--much bigger than Moogie's. I also seem to remember the size of that bosom decreases during the episode.
Thatβs possible, on the wiki it says there was inconsistency with how different people wanted to do it, so I think we ended up with the mashup of styles.
It wasn't the liquidator, it was the CEO of Slug-O-Cola.
Right, it wasn't Brunt, I thought he was another liquidator for some reason.
I did try to erase that episode from my brain, I guess it didn't fully take.
I had completely wiped that from my memory.......thanks....I guess....
I find it quite funny in places in an old school farce kind of way. Like a Carry on Film in the Trek universe. Move Along Home can get deleted before Profit and Lace any day.
