The original title of this episode was "Friends and Foes".
   
This is the episode that introduced the Ferengi Rules of Acquisition. They were the brainchild of Ira Steven Behr, who also turned the episode into one about the Ferengi (the original idea was about a business meeting between many different races).
   
The scene in which Quark hears Nava's petition contains many deliberate homages to the movie The Godfather, down to the pet animal in Quark's lap (a Corvan gilvos, first seen in "New Ground" [TNG]).
   
The gold Ferengi head on the staff of the Grand Nagus was sculpted from a photo of Armin Shimerman as Quark.
   
First mention of the Bajoran fire caves, which are referenced sporadically through the series and play a part in the series finale.
   
Max Grodenchik and Tiny Ron previously worked together in the film The Rocketeer.
   
This episode introduces the Ferengi Rules Of Acquisition.
   
First appearance of Wallace Shawn as Grand Nagus Zek.
   
This episode is the directorial debut for David Livingston.
