NEW question!

Picard once began declaiming at length-on the bridge- about how it is better
to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all.

Why was he engaging in this oratory?

Not sure, but I believe he was speaking about Lwaxana Troi in regards to what he had to endure, her advances and attempts to seduce him, throughout her stay on the Enterprise.

I'll accept that as a correct answer.

Luwaxana Troi and Deanna Troi (and Riker) had been kidnapped by a
Ferengi Daimon, who wanted to use their mental abilities for himself.
He was failing all episode.
At the end, Picard was able to shoot the ship, but if he did, the people
would probably have been killed in the process. Stalemate.
But Luwaxana added a wrinkle- she said Picard couldn't just keep killing
off her lovers out of jealousy....
which got the Ferengi thinking Picard was a jealous lover who would wipe
out his ship in an instant.
Picard began slowly, hesitantly. "If I can't have you, no one can."
And was philosophical about destroying her with the ship.
"It is better to have loved and lost...."
The Ferengi beamed the hostages over VERY quickly. smile

Kudos for Patrick Stewart being able to play a BAD actor at need.

NEW question!

We saw the Ferengi using their version of Standard disruptors.
However, BEFORE that, they used a DIFFERENT weapon.
What was it?

It was a whip. It was on TNG.

Correct!
To be specific, it was an energy-whip that fired an energy pulse.
It was seen only in "the Last Outpost."
Other than the weapons, the Ferengi we meet there are pretty
consistent with the Ferengi all through the series'.

New question!

Any Grand-Negus of the Ferengi is going to have enemies.

Grand-Negus Zek had bodyguards. What species were they?  

[Sakki-chan]

Grand Negus Zek had bodyguards? Which episode? eek

*checks*

Hm.
Pending a visual search of the episodes Zek appeared in, it's likely I
was WRONG, Zek didn't use bodyguards.
Unless I'm right, I'm confusing Liquidator Brunt's usage of Nausicaans in
"Bar Association" for Zek and bodyguards.
(I don't see an offhand reference to Brunt using them other than that
episode, either.)

NEW question!
In the series run of DS9, we see 3 Ferengi other than Zek claim to be
the Grand Negus. Name any 2- with their rationale for their claim.
(Why did they think they had the title?)

I know there's a third one, but the only two I can think of are Quark and Rom. Quark because of a mix-up with a letter (can't remember the details, sorry) and Rom...well, because he was the chosen successor for Grand Negus Zek.

CORRECT!
Actually, Zek temporarily made Quark Grand-Negus to flush out his own
enemies by faking his own death, IIRC.

Rom was legitimately made Grand-Negus by Zek, as his successor.
One wonders what happened to Ferenginar after that- Rom has no lobes
for business....

Liquidator Brunt tried to ruin Zek, and briefly went about as if he himself
were the new Grand-Negus despite no claim to the title.

heart ready for questions.  

[Sakki-chan]

Ok I got a trivia question.

In the Star Trek Voyager episode 'Someone to Watch Over Me' Balana get's angry at 7 of 9 for doing WHAT ?

Hint: It's at the very start of the episode.  

[Leila Amra Drake]

Seven makes notes on B'lanna's and Tom's dates and follows them around. Her notes are very funny. She wants to learn about human mating rituals or something like that.  

[Steel Sterling]

NEW question!

Luwaxana Troi once passed out on the Enterprise, because she remembered
something that traumatized her. What was it?  

[YoukaiLuvr]

Wasn't it the death of Kestra (or was it Kendra?)? Anyway, it was the death of Deanna's older sister. Can't remember the name of the epis for the life of me, though.
