WARNING: SPOILERS for Star Trek: Picard season 3, episode 2 – "Disengage"Star Trek: Picard season 3 has corrected a mistake Star Trek: Discovery season 4 made to the beloved ultra-capitalist aliens the Ferengi. Originally intended to be the main antagonists on Star Trek: The Next Generation, their first episode "The Last Outpost" underwhelmed. The Ferengi came across as foolish and unimposing in their first appearance and were largely only used by TNG for comic relief after season 1.
The Ferengi eventually found their footing on Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, where they were reimagined as profit-obsessed traders and businessmen. The space station's bartender Quark (Armin Shimerman) and his extended family would go on to define the species, including his brother Rom (Max Grodenchik) and his nephew Nog (Aron Eisenberg), the first Ferengi in Starfleet. After a long absence from the franchise, a Ferengi Starfleet officer made a brief appearance in Star Trek: Discovery season 4, but something wasn't quite right.
