After watching the entire "Quark" series (which isn't hard considering there are only eight episodes), I have noticed that quite a few plots were influenced or 'borrowed' story ideas from Trek. To put it more bluntly...they stole the plot ideas, which is odd because there were just the eight. Couldn't they have come up with SOMETHING more original? And, in addition to stealing the plot, they also spoof "Goldfinger".
"Vanessa 38-24-36" is heavily influenced by the Trek episode "The Ultimate Computer". No, more than any of the previous ones, this one really is a rip-off.
Vanessa is a computer system designed to do the job of Quark and his crew...making their jobs obsolete. They don't like it but they agree to try out the system and at first it seems perfect. But then it develops a mind of its own and begins trying to kill the crew...sort of like in "2001".
Man, has this episode ANY new ideas of its own?? No. And because of this AND because it was a final episode, I certainly expected more...as well as more laughs.
