I feel the scene is deeper than that. Quark isn’t just dunking Sisko, he’s shining a light on the fact that Sisko doesn’t see the Ferengi as they are, rather he uses the surface level similarities of capitalism to apply his human anxiety about pre-post-scarcity to them instead.
Start mid-S2 if it’s really rubbing you. Armageddon Game is a great intro to one of the best relationships on the show, and a good story in its own right. By the time you reach the Maquis you’ll be hooked.
In the early 2000s Channel 4 in the UK user to run sci-fi post 23:00 most nights; mostly Stargate SG1, a little Seven Days, Sliders IIRC, that sort of thing. I was 14 and enjoying staying up late, but god damn; when Lexx came on it was time to go to sleep. What a horrible mess of a show.
That depends on how you feel about what constitutes playing a character.
In raw numbers we’ve had Combs play 7 main characters (Brunt, Tiron, Mulkahey, Penk, Krem, Shran, Agimus) that aren’t Weyouns and at least 3 of them that I recall. This discounts his appearances in video games.
Whereas though PT has been on screen a lot, maybe as many times as Combs, it’s worth remembering that stuntpersons aren’t playing the character, they are playing the actor. She was also in Jurassic Park, not as Ellie, but as “Laura Dern’s Stunt Double”.
Edit: an earlier version of this comment started “that’s not strictly true” but I’m not the person who gets to decide that. To me it doesn’t seem true, but to someone else perhaps it does. I changed it because I’m not the arbiter of such things, and to open a comment that way was frankly a bit dickish.
I must have missed some Tallman background characters as I had fewer than that before moving on to tallying up her stunting for various main cast. (I checked two sources as I was worried this might be the case but as always Roles, Stunts and Secondary Artist work are not credited equally or properly).
“So this will be heard on every ship in the fleet?” “Yes, they’re just digitising and automating everything, so the commander presses a button and your voice plays…” “I’m not interested in all that, can we just crack on?”
The simplicity of that exchange, that Toast desperately wants to know why he’s saying these lines, but also is an ego maniac determined to show everyone this work is beneath him, cutting off the answer to a question he asked just to say he’s not interested, total genius. Toast of London, and in particular these recording scenes, is the best English comedy of the 2010s for me.
It’s a riff on a Lizzo song. Replacing That Bitch with That Tig, because Tig Notaro plays Reno. But also, it’s got a typo, it’s supposed to say I’m 100% not in 100%.
