Smacks of plagiarism
3 August 2006
Warning: Spoilers
This weak attempt at a apocalyptic Earth premise was, IMHO, a thinly veiled rip-off of Gene Roddenberry's "Genesis II" / "Planet Earth" pilots, down to the name of the organization that ran the space station/hibernarium being the same, "Pax". They went so far as to cast John Saxon (perhaps not the greatest actor of his time, but would do very well in many other roles) in the lead, drawing cries of plagiarism from the sci-fi fan community. Gone, perhaps lost forever, if we're lucky!

Many ask why Roddenb2erry didn't seek some legal recourse through the Writer's Guild against this painfully leeched premise? He probably didn't want to grant it any more attention than it already didn't deserve.
