Ugh, the Vorta. Ugh.
I find this time around though the “B” story is more interesting to me
Great episode! I really do love the Dominion War story 
“Form a burial detail.”
Wait. Shouldn’t she go back and start dinner? Men get hungry after all that killing.

Commenting on the episode’s title, Ronald D. Moore said: “The title seemed thematically right to me, since the episode deals with some characters running up on the “rocks” and others entering “shoal water”. I think that the phrase itself actually referred to the Royal Navy’s judicial system, but I could be wrong. In any case, the title just came to me as I was working on the script and although later I remembered the judicial connection, it wasn’t the initial reason for the title. There are also themes of justice and military order in the script, so I think it’s still appropriate.”
Both have their merits. I think the planet stuff plays well against the Kira storyline.
The original idea for this episode came from the 1965 Frank Sinatra film, None But the Brave, a film about the interactions of the crew of a downed American plane and the Japanese army patrol who find them.
