    The overpopulation plot was a mixed bag. I realize that the episode is trying to take the problem of overpopulation to an extreme, but in forcing the plot to be as it was, there were some logical problems. If the planet really was so incredibly crowded, it's hard to believe that none of the natives are organizing any efforts to help.
