The grand DS9 re-watch continued yesterday with the oddly poignant "Homefront" and "Paradise Lost" episodes. VERY prophetic, when you consider this aired five full years before the post 9/11 paranoia gripped the nation.
You could've lifted many sections of the dialog directly out and just swapped the word "changeling" for "terrorist" and you'd have a chillingly accurate picture of the conventional wisdom of the early 2000s. They should've had people taking off their shoes before getting on a transporter pad. Then it would've been perfect.
