If you've seen this episode, you KNOW which shot I'm talking about. Like something out of a Scorsese film, the slow mo zoom in on Kira's face, the rope dwindling over the edge, and then the shot of the ground when the two feet appear, all while Kira watches in horror. The story itself shows the monotony of "giving up" so to speak for Kira. Each day is the same, each elevator ride with her enemies is the same... not unlike the Buddhist monk who lit himself on fire in Saigon, it takes a SHOCKING turn of events to jar Kira out of her apathy and back into the fight.
Most people watch this episode and think the Kira/odo bits are the B plot, while sisko and his crew are the a plot, but I like to think of it the other way around,
