Deep Space Nine HOMEFRONT 4×11
The Changelings have made it to Earth and are causing all kinds of problems. It’s up to Sisko to save the planet, but how far will he have to go?
“Homefront” is the first of a two-parter that was supposed to be a cliffhanger between seasons three and four. The whole point of this story is to ask how many civil rights and liberties would one give up in order to feel safe. That is an extremely valid topic, but I have some issues with the execution. So far – Sisko, Odo, and Admiral Leyton get the President of the Federation to declare martial law on Earth (across the globe) and deploy armed troops into civilian streets under the pretense of stopping a Dominion invasion. That’s not how any of that would work, as I point out.
I summarize the plot and point out and explain all the references so you don’t have to
