Today we will travel back 66 years for some fun, campy, science fiction. We will join the show X-Minus One which was also featured in our second episode of this program if you’re looking for a short history. X-Minus one ran for 2 years, and used stories from different monthly science fiction magazines, as well as writing some of their own. This episode is written by Finn O'Donovan, who has no other credits to his name. I literally cannot find a single published work or reference to him other than this particular story which was written for Galaxy Science Fiction Magazine.
So let’s travel to new dimensions of time and space, in a million could be years, on a thousand could be worlds. Wouldn’t it be nice to have all your mental health problems cured by just a few sessions with a machine. You don’t even have to talk, just put the probes on your body. Well, meet Elwood, who is a self described homicidal maniac. He wants nothing more than to murder his best friend. Thank god for home therapy devices or Elwood may actually act on these impulses!
So please, sit back, relax, and travel back 66 years to July 10th, 1956 and X-Minus One with Bad Medicine.
