That was a lot of fun. Moral: If you need to create a new body out of parts to house the brain of your evil overlord, maybe make the body smaller and weaker than you are. You know, in case he gets all murderous.

http://nhw.livejournal.com/1046178.html#cutid4[return][return]For once, Dicks rises to the challenge of adapting one of his own scripts for the printed page (perhaps because it had been substantially rewritten in the meantime). One of the few flaws of the original TV version is that Karn does look every now and then like a TV studio with funny lighting; of course, on the printed page you can depict whole landscapes rather less expensively. The whole thing seemed to me to work rather well.
