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.
