The appearance of the Ferengi was considered controversial. It is difficult to find reliable sources about audience or fan response but I think I've found it. Star Trek Communicator issue 139 says the episode was controversial for breaking continuity by featuring the Ferengi and seemingly contradicting the TNG episode The Last Outpost. One of the writers acknowledging that it was controversial but disagreed, and thought that the episode was structured in a way that did not contradict the official continuity.
Not sure how best to add this detail to the article. Maybe the comments from the writer could be used to present it as a note from the Production perspective, or reaction from fans could perhaps be mentioned in terms of Reception. If someone else could add something about it to the article, in whatever way they think is best, that would be great. -- 109.78.193.228 ( talk) 01:17, 21 April 2021 (UTC)
Among first run science fiction or fantasy genre shows that week Enterprise was in 2nd place [2] only that doesn't actually mean much since a whole load of show were off that week. X-Files was way ahead with 7.3 million viewers (7.29) compared to 5.4 million (5.45) for Enterprise. [3] TrekWeb notes that this episode was only slightly up from the previous week and was third to last in ratings of the episodes that had been aired by that point. The article does lists the raw numbers, but for most readers (myself included) that means almost nothing without further explanation, even something like "up from the previous week" but still down, might be worth a mention. I may come back and add something like that eventually. -- 109.78.197.28 ( talk) 19:13, 15 April 2022 (UTC)
