  • The DS9 2 parter Homefront & Paradise Lost

    A badmiral plans a military coup using a supposed Changeling attack as justification. He uses an elite group of cadets (Red Squad) to sabotage the planetary power grid, preplans drastic moves for his former loyalist crew to positions of power, and has the ability to mobilize personnel onto every street corner and test people at random.

    Keep in mind he’d already been shown to be replaced by a changeling infiltrator once, and one of the infiltrators tells Sisko there are 4 of their people on the planet causing chaos.

    Yet Sisko talks Leyton down who resigns his commission, Benteen probably got demoted or court marshalled, Red Squad gets tossed on a super secret mission (that is revisited later)…and everything just kinda goes back to normal.

    What about the remaining 4 changelings on Earth? What about all the others culpable with the coup?
