Season 1, Episode 4
5/10
A very slight improvement....slight.

"Goodbye, Polumbus" is an episode's title which makes fun of a Richard Benjamin film, "Goodbye, Columbus". And, like the prior three episodes, it seems heavily influenced by a "Star Trek" episode...in this case "Shore Leave".

Quark is ordered to investigate planet Polumbus. This is because no ship that lands there is ever heard of again...so it's apparently another suicide mission for this ship and its crew. However, it turns out the reason the other ships never returned is because there is a device on the planet which gives folks whatever they wish for...and they just have no interest in anything else.

This episode is slightly better than the previous episodes...slightly. I think it's because the episode was more plot-driven than one looking for as many cheap laughs. Not great but watchable.
