Originality has never been without prompt. Just becuase something is based upon another idea does not negate its orginaliity. Take for example the South Park Se(a)men episode. It was based off of the Simpsons Lisas Tooth episode, which was based off of a Twilight Zone episode, which was an incarnation of yet another story. Im sure this story slowly evolved from several others. Originality only exists if your definition is lax enough to accomidate for the prompts as being original, and the ideas they inspired and further ideas thereafter. Its all a matter of opinion.
