I also think Kerrie Keane is a standout! Yes, it's a missed opportunity to explore the many facets of terrorism, something which Ron Moore & the writing staff obviously addressed well in the complexities with the Maquis on DS9.

Aye, the character of Major Kira alone provided DS9 with an outstanding opportunity to reflect upon violent resistance/terrorism. The production team were more prepared for this kind of story by that point. As for this episode - if nothing else, the fact that it did not get shown in the UK (and thus we had to take our own steps to acquire a copy) gave it a certain mystique!

That's right, it was banned in the UK for years, wasn't it. Wild....
