Director John Brahm's, "Z Z Z Z Z, " is a hummdinger of a Sci-Fi episode.

Philip Abbott ("The FBI") is persuasive as the dedicated bee man. His sincerity and credibility helps sell what could have been a thoroughly silly episode.

Joanna Frank is dazzling as Regina, the queen bee/human. Her delivery on lines like, "You have an orderly, organized mind. That compensates for your tie and fingernails", is tart and teasing.

Marsha Hunt lends strong support as Abbott's wife. The shocked look on her face, when she sees Regina (Frank) transform into a bee in the garden late at night, is quite convincing.

An early scene, depicting Frank's transformation from a bee into human form, is not done very well. Project Unlimited Inc., and the Optical Effects Unit take the blame.

My favorite scene depicts Regina/Frank in the garden at night, going from flower to flower, licking off pollen. The scene is both bizarre and sensuous.

Director of Photography, Conrad Hall, does strong work here. Particularly good is a shot of Frank, her reflection seen on a glass-walled bee enclosure as they swarm about.

The music, primarily utilizing violin and harp, is an effective mood builder. Dominic Frontiere is the responsible party.

Z Z Z Z Z should be fairly watchable for most Sci-Fi viewers. Bee enthusiasts will get a real buzzzz out of this one! Z Z Z Z Z won't put you to sleep! BACK TO: EPISODE
