About this episode

The hosts conclude their discussion of 'Homefront' while exploring the implications of security and identity in the Federation.

Your hots continue their in depth discussion of the the trials of utopia as we conclude our discussion of "Homefront"! We confront many of the key questions DS9 seeks to ask as we consider if the Federation - and especialy Earth - has gone soft. Starfleet might see a lot of space madness, but the people of Earth didn't sign up for this! As 24th Century security theater begins, we ask if the Changelings are here to destroy the planet, or merely make it betray itself.
