    How come Rom is the goofy dragon?

    He lead a successful labour revolt and became Grand Nagus. Plus he did so by accruing power as Zek suggested and issued the largest sociopolitical changes to Ferenginar in all modern Ferenghi history.

    I know Quark also was also Nagus but that was only for a scheme.

    ETA: Rom also single handedly held back the entire Dominion fleet, which was pivotal in the Dominion War.

      He started goofy, but got a ton of character development. Then he became the Nagus and used those goofy vibes to hoodwink all corners. The Lower Decks episode with him was pure gold.

        Moogy is definitely running the show

        One of the most successful business people on Ferenginar all from the shadows, secretly ran the Alliance for years by influencing Zek, and then got her child into the ruling seat to champion reforms she wanted.

      I think her golden moment was when she flew in between those stars because the invading aliens kept her awake for days and made her go full on old-school human crazy.

    I wonder if the mirror universe version of Dukat (and Winn, for that matter) is a super-cool stand up guy that you can totally trust to water your plants and feed your dog while you’re on vacation.

      I like to think they built statues of him on Bajor, but I mostly skipped the mirror universe episodes.

      Isn’t that just Garak? I mean he’ll use the house sitting job as cover to assasinate two people and then randomly rescue a third on a random pang of sympathy but he will water your plants and feed your dog.
