Acquisition

First aired March 27, 2002

When the Ferengi, a group of intergalactic thieves, stun the Enterprise crew and try to rob the ship, it's up to Trip to work covertly to stop them.

Commentary

The Enterprise crew never learns who these aliens are, but fans watching when the episode first aired knew something Archer didn't: these are the Ferengi. They apparently keep their promise to avoid human ships for QUITE a while, but we'll be meeting them again - in a few hundred years.

One of the Ferengi, Krem, is played by Jeffrey Combs, making this his second of many appearances in our viewing order. We first met him as Shran.
