I found that while both major plot issues were interesting, the large majority should have been given to the people on the doomed planet. We get just a few moments of their pain. This could have been built into something quite embracing. We spend so much time with Bortus and his efforts to deal with his failing relationship. It really slows down the tough issues. Also, there is some really awful byplay as those people plummet toward their sun.
