Just finished watching DS9 Season 6 Episode 10 ‘The Magnificent Ferengi’ … and totally fun watch complete with the worst Ferengi in the series and a great cameo by Iggy.
One of my favourite from the series out of so many favourites so far. What a great and fun watch.
I’ve heard of ‘7 Samurai’ and how it inspired a lot of westerns such as The Magnificent 7 … which later on inspired space westerns such as Star Wars.
7 Samurai is on my long list of must see movies during my lifetime (I feel like I have to live to be 200 years old to complete that list).
I remember seeing the original The Magnificent 7 with Yul Brynner, Eli Wallach, Steve McQueen and Charles Bronson … it was a mainstay of late night pirated illegal broadcast movies in our town in the 80s for a while. I can’t say my kid self appreciated it much … all I remember is being fascinated by western cowboys like Yul Brynner and Charles Bronson (and that’s coming from a Native guy … we all loved westerns just as much as anyone else, although we always cheered on the Indians even if they were losing … lol)
In the case of the Ferengi … I was cheering them on the entire way … even Brunt, that bastard of a liquidator for the Ferengi Commerce Authority.
The original is a more somber watch, but intriguing all the same. Star Wars the Clone Wars even has their own retelling.
