Symptom 83: Star Copy Wars
Ok, maybe James Cameron copied aspects of Harlan Elison's works for Terminator, but certainly GIANTS such as Lucas and Roddenberry did not? Well, maybe not Gene so much, but his successor Rick Berman maaaaay have stolen the Borg from Dr. Who and George, well George stole from everything he ever watched and the amalgamation was Star Wars, but if there was one science fiction franchise Lucas was really inspired by - it might have been Dune.
This week we discuss how The Borg are influenced by the Cybermen and how Star Wars owes far more than a desert planet to Frank Herbert.
