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 linked to your original image! … I knew someone had done this image and album cover referencing NWA and Straight Outta Compton before so I just did a quick search for it … first one I saw that linked to a Lemmy image and I just ran with it … turns out it was from your original post.
That was also a hilarious thread with lots of great images.
I am certain that the show producers and camera people were specifically thinking of all those westerns images and that recent image of album art from NWA when they shot this scene. It would have been recent to everyone at the time because the album came out in 1988 but everyone was still talking about it and playing for about five or ten years after and this DS9 episode was from Dec 1997.
Excellent observation, sourced and all. Had to investigate: so D.O.P. Jonathan West did a music video for Toto, but is mostly known for near 50 episodes of TNG and the bulk of DS9. That said, surely the visual aspect of the Westerns of yore and NWA were taken into account.
