Business as Usual DS9 Season 5, Episode 18

Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Season 5 Episode 18 "Business as Usual" explained. Join me as I review and recap probably the best Quark character story in the show. Instead of doing a stupid comedy, this is actually a quite serious and suspenseful story. And a great character story for Quark as it shows how much he's grown since being around Hew-mons for too long. As he claims to be a true Ferengi at heart but when it comes down to it, there is a line that he won't cross where he won't profit off of the deaths of millions, even if it means he could be rich beyond his dreams. And the episode features some great guest character, it has Lawrence Tierney whom I recognize from "Reservoir Dogs" and a great guest character of the Arms Dealer who chews the hell out of the scenery but in the best way possible, as he comes off as scary and fascinating. Come see my first reaction as I breakdown the episode and attempt to give my in depth analysis
