Goofy plot involving bees who are genetically infused with the poison of a puffer fish. Weller says "millions might die!"
Bill Nye the Science Guy is a science communicator. He plays himself in this episode but dishonestly: he is no more a top research scientist than Captain Kangaroo is a naval officer.
Bad plot, bad dialogue and lots of bad guys getting killed by bees, while our heroes always avoid getting stung. It brings back memories of "The Swarm."

Bill Nye plays himself in this episode, but the script grossly misrepresents him. Nye is not a research scientist who "writes algorithms" and publishes papers on his research as he was depicted in this show. He is a "science communicator". I am a retired scientist and have cringed at some of the completely inaccurate things he has said in the televised media. He is no more a top scientist than Captain Kangaroo is a military officer.
I am a big Lacey Chabert fan, but she never looks comfortable acting in this film. And, nothing works in The Wedding Veil. Kevin McGary towers over Lacey Chabert - they don't look like a couple and never seem to have much chemistry. The greatest suspense comes from wondering how they will eventually manage to do their Hallmark kiss, because Lacey's mouth is below his armpit level. The Italian painting that they recover is very far from being the masterpiece that the other characters "Oooh" and "Aaah" about -it's an ugly, simple painting, very low in artistry. McGary's character complains about having to wear a "coat and tie" in his job -but he isn't wearing a tie when he says it and virtually never has a tie on at any time in the film.
Problems seem to be solved off-camera. Everything depends on Lacey finding a second restoration expert and after much hand-wringing, she simply announces that one of the experts her friend found online has agreed to help out. Huh?
Museum tours are usually performed by volunteers (for free) but when Lacey needs a fill-in tour guide for her art museum she turns to her love interest -who is the CEO of a large charitable foundation. He rediscovers his love for teaching young children and . . . Well, you can guess the rest. Apparently, the scriptwriters are not deep thinkers.
And Lacey looks a bit different in this film. Has she had some work on her face? Is it just a new hairstyle? Or, is she getting tired of "the same old script?"
