* {{Narm}}: Just about everything involving the Ferengi. [=DaiMon=] Taar isn't ''too'' bad, aside from being a paper-thin CardCarryingVillain, but the trio seen down on the planet behave in such an utterly ridiculous manner, Armin Shimmerman even claimed that he and the other Ferengi actors were directed to 'act like angry hamsters or excited gerbils', that it instantly killed any remote chance of the Ferengi ever being taken seriously as villains. Shimmerman later took the role of Quark on ''Deep Space Nine'' specifically as penance for this, wanting to do what he could to make the race respectable again. He succeeded.
* SpecialEffectFailure:
** Portal 63's show of force, when he swings around his scepter-blade and stops inches from Riker's shoulder, is blatantly fast-forwarded footage of the actor slowly swinging the prop in an attempt to look skilled.

* AlternativeCharacterInterpretation: Tasha's verbal threat to the Ferengi attempting to fondle her. This is one of the final vestigal remnants of the Macha Hernandez character from the series bible. After this episode, [[CharacterizationMarchesOn Tasha began to settle into her more mild mannered, professional persona]].
-->'''Tasha''': Just try it, shorty!
