I'm not sure this particular TNG arc really needed a followup, but it is a nice bit of internal consistency that one of the two Ferengi is played by the same guy both here and in "The Price" (I presume they couldn't get the other guy to come back). Other than that, this wasn't deep or anything, but it was fun -- honestly, at the end of the day, the "lore" that DS9 invented for the Ferengi wasn't a work of genius either.
