So I've had a theory running in my head for a few months now about where I'd place the Ferengi on the totem pole of races that I find "interesting" and I've confirmed my suspicions, having watched the last of their episodes: the fucking Malon are more interesting and have better episodes than the Ferengi.

This post is grounds for flamebait and I don't give a damn because it's the honest truth.

It's mid 90's effects and make up coming from an unestablished series.

Well, it might upset followers of Abrahamic faiths slightly ;)
However, to give a hint: no, this is not what they look like.

Eh. I had a hunch that was the case anyway. No major harm done.

Speaking of harm though, JMS apparently went loony while writing "Sic Transit Vir". That's kinda funny.
