It totally bothers me that Hollywood is this way; that they steal so cavalierly. The series is a total rip-off of Total Recall down to the dialogue. "I'm the girl of your dreams." "I've been your best friend for ten years." "Listen carefully. Your life depends on it." And all of this is based on the Philip K. Dick story, We Can Remember It For You Wholesale. No story credit here. The only difference offered with My Own Worst Enemy is that Henry decides to cooperate with a benevolent task force, while Douglas Quaid rebelled. the real question is why would Edward willingly decide to sacrifice large portions of his life for what seems to be a meaningless experiment. But it isn't that I mind the premise being used for a television series, as the lack of acknowledgement for the idea.
