 I liked this one but I must agree with Russell in an overall rating of so so. I liked the idea of love being a foreign concept to what is suppose to be an advanced people or beings! This logic or concept seems to be a part of many sci-fi stories with "aliens". They are always the advanced culture and many time they seemingly in that advancement have done away with love and those other human traits that get in the way of being "progressive". The story then reveals that those costs perhaps are indeed to high! I suppose the star trek series had a hint of the reverse - being that we were the advanced beings going to other primitive planets and beings etc... So the concept of the human condition is presented and love reigns supreme I suppose. Was is life without those things that make us human? I propose not much worth living.
