Oh my god. I can see it now. Wallace and his family, gathered around the TV as you guys say, him excited for the reveal so his family can go crazy. They say the line in the show, and Wallace’s response? Oh yeah. Yeah, you know it. IN. CON. CEIVABLE!!!!!

Feels like it's preaching to the choir IMO. The real life parallels are obvious, but 50 years too late.

Ferengi episode... so I'm already half zoned out. The best part of this episode for me is any time Dax is on the screen

There was nothing forbidden about Quark and Pel's relationship unless they returned to the Ferengi homeworld. Quark could have been with her on the station or anywhere else. Quark actually wants to be with her. But he's so indoctrinated/committed to Ferengi culture, values, and sexism, that he can't accept that relationship for what it is outside of the Ferengi view. He can't accept that it's ok for Pel to be who she is outside of the role that Ferengi society expects all their women to be. So he forbids himself, because he actually thinks that being with her is morally wrong from the Ferengi view. And that's a shame because otherwise, they were probably perfectly matched. Quark had an opportunity to grow here and challenge his beliefs. But he didn't get the message. Instead of learning from this whole situation, he doubled down at the end on what he was originally taught. Tragic. It makes you think about other people who refuse to accept evidence of something that's right in front of their own face, because they CAN'T accept it. Doing so requires throwing away everything they've been taught, and that's too big of a leap.
