Honestly a fun episode that mostly struggles a little early because it's really just got peanut hamper and One Note Bird Folk to work with.
But it's still fun and satisfying as a botched first contact story/reintegration of a 'fallen' species (seriously someone in Star Trek writing is gonna follow up with those newly space faring birds).
Writing wise it's also really satisfying that all of Peanut Hamper's issues ultimately come from a lack of being willing to integrate into community. Whether it's her family, Starfleet or the birds. She wants to put herself above others and always feels owed without doing much exceptional herself.
Kinda fucked up they put her in the evil super computer division rather than like, therapy and a penal colony if she's supposed to be a sentient federation citizen.
I think the end was more....
Just to have more Jeffery Combs. Which I am okay with.
Overall I found the episode okay. Not one of the better ones especially with some of the real strong ones this season.

I can sustain myself solely on all of the looks Captain Freeman was giving the whole situation the entire time. The shock and the “wtf?” And the “Oh hell no”

Good lord The Nagus (S1E10)...
I miss Wallace Shawn and I love when I get to see him in something new (to me)
The Ferengi are in a way one of DS9’s greatest magic tricks. A race that started out so awful and so one note, gets evolved and given significant depth over the course of the show. It’s a frankly really great accomplishment especially when look at their early TNG appearances.

He is still acting? I had to go check cause this post made him sound super dead, and I know he was in a thing recently. Plenty of time for him to continue to be in new stuff.

He was a recurring character in Young Sheldon, as far as recent work.
EDIT: most recent movie I remember seeing him in was a side character in Marriage Story, the Adam Driver/ScarJo movie.

Wallace Shawn’s Nagus is great and just so much fun.
Tulaberries, Quark!
It's always a good time when they show up at the same time.

the poor guy was allergic to the makeup. Man, what a trooper.
I’d make a new thread but I’m still at work and thus don’t have time for a proper OP
Flee this cursed place before it's too late.
I can hear it in his voice. My god.
