This TNG story introduces us to that humanoid race called the Ferengi who later
on writers saw comic possibilities with their latinum grubbing ways. Among the
three encountered were future DS9 regular Armin Shimerman.
Nothing comic here, the Enterprise and a Ferengi vessel are trapped and power draining from both. The Ferengi landing party attack the human landing party led by Jonathan Frakes.
Frakes and the Ferengi both have to deal with the Guardian, still on duty at the Portal after the civilization was destroyed centuries ago. He's played with the combination of menace and wariness by Darryl Henriques.
Commander Riker proves to be both warrior and diplomat.
