Episode 14--Tiny World of Terror



This is a really fun entry in the series, but nearly all the action takes place on a microscope slide after our heroes are reduced to microscopic size, so we learn nothing new about Amzot.

The villain (Torrock) is a mad scientist who wants to eventually shrink down the entire galaxy and rule it with his genetically-engineered microscopic monsters. Torrock and Zandor know each other, which I think helps back up my back-story that Zandor was a renowned geneticist who created the Herculoids. He and Torrock both worked in the same field, so could easily have run across each other.  Also, Zandor quickly figures out how to work Torrock's "microscopic transducer" (shrink ray). Once again, we see that though he has chosen a technology-free life style (darn hippy!), he's no stranger to technology.

So, as far as Amzot is concerned, the map and summary from the Dec. 6 post is still up-to-date with all the episodes we've reviewed so far.

Sorry the map is so lame-looking, by the way. I've been doing some Photoshop tutorials at work, so I hope to be able to use Photoshop to replace lame-o map with something that looks half-way decent.
