As for the Ferengi, unlike with the original Klingons, I don't see anything intentionally or lazily offensive about them. Rather, it seems to be an unfortunate combination of having a race of ultra capitalists (which, given how the main cast announce that they're beyond it any chance they get, reads more as an exaggeration of American excess than of Jewish caricatures)

Yeah, I understand why people think they're Jewish stereotypes, but they came across to me as 1980s American stock brokers more than anything else.

Lwaxana steals the show, vamping about the place with the worst (and best) attributes of a complete diva.

Oh, it's good that you like her, some people absolutely loathe her. I see that you're familiar with some of her roles already, but I don't know if anyone's mentioned or if you noticed that she also plays the Enterprise's computer.
