Walter Ryder tries to make a perfect version of himself and he does to a point only it's that version we met first and he's called Alan Talbot. He has a murderous range but he also has a finacee and a background that doesn't seem to exist . Alan also finds something disturbing about himself ,something physical. This leads him unexpectldy to discover his creator Walter Ryder. Walter explains it all he's genius but not as personable or confident as he wishes .There were many failures before Alan . Now he's suceeded too well but not without the mentioned issues. This is the first of the hour long episodes and in some ways the best although many won't agree with that. In a way it's the most interesting of the hour long episodes and like The New Exhibit makes the best use of the hour format. I't a combination of science fiction with a dash of horror some mystery and romance mixed in but ultimeately not too dark . Strong performances by George Grizzard and Gail Kobe make you car about the characters. A story by Charles Beaumont and outstanding direction by Perry Lafferty make it one of the most interesting TZ episodes .
