I could have sworn there was a movie or mini series w/ near this exact same premise, not a few years ago.... Is this a 'reboot' of a lame original ?

Confused.

*edit* Sure enough, there was a 2003 movie... http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0310952/news#ni2076763

Summer Glau can simply walk into Mordor

Bones: "Don't 'rawr' her!"
Booth: "What? she'rawred' me first."

And neither come anywhere close to the greatness of the books by Philip José Farmer.

It was called BSG2.

I'd rather see someone take a crack at his "Venus on the Half Shell" romp, to be honest.

I'm totally unfamiliar w/ the works of Farmer and I find nothing from either the 2003 version or this one compelling in the least.

Yeah, there's Eureka and Caprica, but it seems there are far more misses, BAD misses, than there ought to be.

Young Merlin? Are you serious ?
