This week, John and Eugene examine two more vintage 1978 space opera parody TV series Quark episodes.

First, it’s “The Old and the Beautiful,” where Quark contracts a fatal aging disease.

Will an extended romantic interlude with a young, beautiful, and voracious princess be the death of him?

And then, in “The Good, the Bad, and the Ficus,” Quark’s ship plummets through a black hole, releasing evil doppelgangers.

Will Quark be able to reason with his evil self, and why is that gauge in Ficus’ ear?
