or Robert the Bruce or Brian Boru but from what I've read, this is an Italian production rather than Hollywood and they're doing minimal marketing here in the States.

But I love the Arthurian legend tooo much to turn away another attempt at it. I think the Roman influence on the area is too much overlooked. The Jack Whyte version creates a Roman colony that remains after the Legions withdraw. They are an island of law, technology, and Christianity surrounded by chaos. Excalibur was forged from a meteorite - an iron alloy close to steel that would naturally be stronger, brighter, better than the simple iron swords of the day. No mysticism! Just a very rational story. (with cardboard characters...alas.)

Well there was a pretty interesting interpretation of The Bruce in ‘Braveheart’. I think you are really annoyed at Bakula because the Startrek franchise sank when he was Captain.
