Great coverage of this episode. Fun cast.
Always loved that chocolate sundae scene. And the gym scene.

Love guest casts, but sometimes classic Rico full commentary hits the spot..  ;)

I got a chance to see this before I listened to the podcast and I really enjoyed the show and the podcast. As I have said before Troi is one of my favorite TNG characters and of course this was all Troi pretty much.
As far as the show goes I loved it when Geordie called the Ferengi 'idiots'. That was funny. And Marina sure did look pretty in this show. I also liked how a lot of this shows points showed up in later shows and series.
I also enjoyed the full commentary show. And cracked up when Rico called Devinoni Ral (the character Troi falls for) a creepoid! And as he discussed the Ferengi lost in the Delta Quadrant I do believe they are the ones who show up in Voyager's "False Profits" episode. I was pretty sure they were the same ones but, Yes, I admit I had to look it up. On startrek.com they mention that they were stranded 7 years ago which is the right timeframe. The Price aired in 1989 and False Profits in 1996. Here is a link.

Enjoyed the show.

As far as I know, those were the two Ferengi that Voyager encountered in the Delta Quadrant. It gave  Neelix a chance to try his Ferengi makeup (before reprising the role in S1 of Enterprise) and allowed an Alpha Quadrant alien to make an appearance for once. It was a terrific tie-in to TNG from what I remember.

What I can't remember is what happened to the Ferengi at the end of that episode. Perhaps a review candidate for the near future? (Not that I can say that it hasn't already been covered, of course)
