It was, all in all, a fun episode- call it a Twilight Zone reject plot.
It is of course part of a long tradition of reattached hand stories, such as the Hands of Orlac- this one is a bit different in that the protagonist definitely knows he is getting a killer\'s hand, and the killer knows he is giving it to them. The psychobabble element tries to keep the story in the realm of reality rather than the supernatural, but I\'m not sure that helps.

Reminds me of the fun times I had listening to RMT as a kid- I don\'t recall hearing it when it first aired but I\'m sure I would have been thrilled with it then.<br>
