    Get ready for an exciting new season of Because That’s What Heroes Do. In this season, they take a deep dive into their favorite 15 episodes of Deep Space 9. In this exploration, they are joined by DS9 maven, Alex Murphy, (Murphy) from Montreal, who is a local historian, cinema and TV fan with a love for weird foreign films, all things horror, and obscure media. He has been watching Trek since he was a tiny punk, and it’s been a lifelong love. Last week we began with Home Front. Today we conclude our deep dive into the second of a 2-episode arc with Paradise Lost. In this episode, Megan, Murphy, and Tom discuss ‘Paradise Lost,’ the second part of the ‘Homefront’ arc in Star Trek: Deep Space Nine. They explore how these episodes mark a crucial transition in the series, particularly in the context of the Dominion War and Captain Sisko’s evolving relationship with Starfleet and the Federation. Through detailed analysis, they highlight key scenes, such as the interactions between Sisko and Changeling O’Brien, and discuss broader themes of paranoia, betrayal, and the moral downfall of Starfleet. The hosts also touch on the controversial use of young cadets for treasonous activities and its implications. This episode lays the groundwork for the upcoming darker and more complex narrative arcs in the series.

    Deep Space 9: Episode 11 - Federation at The Brink: A Deep Dive into Homefront
    Aug 31 2024
    Get ready for an exciting new season of Because That’s What Heroes Do. In this season, they take a deep dive into their favorite 15 episodes of Deep Space 9. In this exploration, they are joined by DS9 maven, Alex Murphy, (Murphy) from Montreal, who is a local historian, cinema, and TV fan with a love for weird foreign films, all things horror, and obscure media. He has been watching Trek since he was a tiny punk, and it’s been a lifelong love. Today we take a deep dive into the first of a 2-episode series, Home Front. Next week we conclude with Paradise Lost. The thematic crux of the episodes, as Megan noted, revolves around the Federation’s response to internal security threats. The conversations between Sisko, his father, and various Starfleet officials mirror contemporary debates about the balance between security and personal freedom. Tom drew parallels to real-world political shifts, likening the Federation’s complacency to historical and modern-day societal shifts. Murphy’s observations highlighted a broader concern about Earth’s apparent insularity and naivety. Despite the dramatic actions taken by Admiral Layton and the ethical dilemmas posed by Sisko’s temporary promotion, the broader questions about how the Federation can protect itself without losing its core values remain at the forefront of the discussion.

In this exploration, they are joined by DS9 maven Alex Murphy (Murphy) from Montreal, who is a local historian and cinema and TV fan with a love for weird foreign films, all things horror, and obscure media. He has been watching Trek since he was a tiny punk, and it’s been a lifelong love. Today we take a deep dive into the first episode selected by Tom, Little Green Men. In this podcast episode, the panel revisits the DS9 episode Little Green Men, which involves the Ferengi crash-landing in Roswell during the 1940s. They explore themes of comedy, racism, cultural pride, and individual accountability. The episode’s origins as a fan pitch and its poignant commentary on the follies of racism and nuclear arms are discussed, along with its nostalgic nods to 1950s science fiction and anti-smoking sentiments. The panelists enjoy the character development and comedic elements but note some inconsistencies while appreciating the cultural insights into Ferengi life.
