This is a super-serious episode. It's a very strange social commentary episode. Everything is focused on the alien-of-the-week: the Kaelons. they have a very strange culture, but relatively advanced technology.

But they're also a dying race. The main plot starts out trying to figure out how to save them. But when that didn't work, the scientist laments how it's time for his career to end, and that he thinks his successors will not be able to figure out his work all that quickly.

He contemplates becoming an exile in Federation space.... but... his govt sends a fleet to prevent him from leaving, and threatens to treat his descendants as outcasts for his decision.... and worse... the act threatens the stability of his society by risking an open revolt.

Soo... who are the good guys again?
