Thanks.I liked the Ferengi episodes. Watching the small group of Ferengi develop over the course of the show, Rom, Nog, Zek, Moogi and Quark (but not Brunt) was amazing. Some clunkers of episodes but seeing the small group eventually evolve to be in a position to possibly change an entire civilisation (if you can call it that) was superb.
Also, if you haven't heard of it, there's a book by the guy who played Garak, Andrew Robinson. He wrote it during the show as a way for him to develop a relationship with his character. It goes into Garak's backstory, and then he added more about Garak's life after the show ends. It'd stand as a great sci-fi book in its own right but for DS9 fans and Star Trek fans it's a must read.
The individual Ferengo characters, Quark, Nog and Rom are decent characters. It's when they brought in other ferengi characters like Brunt, the Grand Negus, the mother etc and made the plot to revolve around them that I found cringe worthy.
Will look for the book alright. Garak was a superb character.
