The House of Quark

This forum is for discussing Chuck's videos as they are publicly released. And for bashing Neelix, but that's just repeating what I already said.

Wait, I'm paying $2 on the Patreon. Is it possible I can watch it?

It looks like that's part of the $5 tier.

It might be OK to discuss the episode because people can see it's coming without being patrons, as long as the review isn't discussed. That's been done before without anybody objecting.

I liked the episode for giving more depth to Quark. He's from what TVTropes would call a "planet of hats," like a lot of Trek aliens, and that's OK, but it's nice to have more to him than just that.

And I liked Grilka more than I think I should have. Just saying, if someone drugged me, kidnapped me, married me without my permission, and then brought me into a situation where my life was on the line, I would feel few qualms about sneaking out and leaving her to lose everything she had. But, while that may have made a thoughtful episode, it wouldn't have been as much fun, and audiences would have liked Quark a lot less afterward.

Even Quark acknowledges that the smart Ferengi thing to do was run for the hills but Quark hates it when he has to be stereo-typically Ferengi

Any word on that patreon only section of the forum? It's clearly there but it does not work.

No kidding. I was thinking about that too.

Yeah, but that makes it a topic for the Sci-Fi & Fantasy subforum up until a point. Video Reviews is "for discussing Chuck's videos as they are publicly released. "

We can't rule out time travel being involved.

Nobody post anything about the review until Saturday or you might create a paradox, rupture the space-time continuum, reverse the polarity, and put us all in an alternate reality where the dinosaurs never died out.
