It was a great episode.
My own thing was that I really didn't recognize Shimmerman's voice as Quark. I know we are talking about nearly 25 years between this episode and DS9, but at times it just didn't sound like him. Not a gripe. Just something I noticed where I started to think they used a different voice actor for Quark.
I thought so, too. At first I assumed it was a "character actor" working at Quarks for tourists to interact with. The face seemed comically large, so I assumed it was a "mask".
According to Shimmerman, he swears he wore the teeth during recording, but also thought it sounded to him like he had not. I suspect it's just a combination of age and time away from the character. He's an older man playing a much younger version of the character (that is, Quark is only ~five years older rather than Shimmerman's 25), so there's likely a disconnect.
Kira sounded older, too, and a bit quieter, but they both had moments where I felt they still nailed it.

Well Nana Visitor still sounded like herself even if older.
It's not like Shimmerman used a different voice for Quark. I just suspect being older aged his voice enough to not be as readily recognizable.

Holy crap, what did I just watch? Lol
Good? Bad?
Stupid fan service? Brings back memories of DS9?
He's talking about the new one. That was a fucking doozy.
