The Master taking over Palmer's body...continuity issue?


When the Master took over Sardu's body, it took some time for him to regain his powers because the body needed to be changed.

When the Master took over Bolivar's, he quickly regained his powers because the body was already changed.

Now with Palmer, he has super-speed, strength and a stinger in just a matter of hours???

He is the master. Presumably he changes his host at an astonishing rate. Having said that, he was nowhere near full strength as evidenced both by his own statements and by Quinlan defeating him with ease.

If that's truly the case, then what happened when he took Sardu's body. You can see he was beginning to change in form.

Palmer's body didn't even lose a strand of hair, but had a stinger that quickly???

I think they just rushed this because in the books, Bolivar remained until the very end.

Palmer's body had some "white" in him so maybe that help the Master do his thing faster.
