Ellison as a writer, certainly deserves a salute. He's superb. As a person, however, he's a punk - unless he's changed in his old age.

Ellison's still a punk!


Decades ago he'd written the original 'Outer Limits" episode, "Demon With A Glass Hand" and later sued James Cameron's "The Terminator" for supposed Copyright Infringement and Plagerism for the use of time travel in saving the Earth as we know it.

There are some striking similarities between The Terminator and Ellison's other Outer Limits episode, Soldier.

Actually, it was for the short story "I Have No Mouth But Must Scream" (I believe that was the title.) The story behind the original Terminator really did pretty much borrow the entire concept from the story. And it wasn't about money. It was to get a line in the credits "acknowledging the works of HE"

It's an awesome story, and was really amazing when it was released.
