Great plot but poor production, 17 February 2007
7/10
Author: bosco-35 from United States

It's interesting that this episode was done on video tape which made the production extremely cheesy. Very poor video and audio, not to mention really, really bad camera operation detracted from the cool plot. I don't recall any other episode done this way. I have to think that it was done in a studio set used for "soap operas". Even the background music had the "soap" feel to it as opposed to the typical TZ eerie compositions. It would be interesting to know the reasoning behind this radical change. I would have to think that it was a cost saving experiment. As usual though, it's fun to see actors who later become big in the TZ shorts.
