It's painful to see the Ferengi reduced to silly, stupid caricatures that hop around incessantly. The accompanying cheap social commentary is awful. Even worse is how once again the Federation's laissez-faire attitude towards letting the "weak" die when they could have prevented it is justified.
On the plus side the planet set is lovely and seeing a Captain consult his staff before making a decision is nice. Though not nice enough to compensate for close-ups of the awful Ferengi dentures and the bizarre way some characters act.
Oh god, and the story. Apparently they can't spare blankets for the most essential staff members so those just lie down on the bridge and prepare to die? Ugh.
