While only a few people have voted it's interesting that the Medicom
figures is running away with the group poll. And the Medicoms are
very heavily Ape figures with only two Taylors.

Hi Rory,
I remember Longstreet well, but I haven't seen it since it first
played on tv, I guess. I don't imagine it ever did reruns. I seem to
remember liking it when I was young. I really enjoy Marooned with
Franciscus as the astronaut with rocket troubles again. For a POTA
fan, it makes for a good prequel to Beneath. I hadn't seen it for
years, but taped it off the tv a year or so ago. I thought it was
suspenseful, and well written. Worth viewing if you can find a copy.

Just a joke, really. But I'm sure you remember the 13th scroll:

"And Proteus brought the upright beast into the garden and chained
him to a tree and the children did make sport of him."

Dr. Zaius recalls this passage in PA68. Perhaps not one of the
Lawgiver's more magnanimous moments towards humans. Still, it would
be interesting to know more about who Proteus was.

Subject: Johnny Carson RIP (OT)



I just heard that Johnny Carson has died. One of my earliest POTA
memories is when Kim & Roddy went on the Tonight Show. They brought
along Baby Milo and he bit Johnny's finger. Beyond that the POTA
films always premiered on Friday nights and we were allowed to stay
up to watch the Tonight Show on those nights. So in many ways Johnny
is loosely linked to POTA in my mind.
I'm sure everyone's thought and prayers go out to his wife and
children and of course his prot�g�, David Letterman.

James,

Roddy McDowall and Kim Hunter were on the Johnny Carson Show on June 2, 1971. Baby Milo was on too and sat on Kim Hunter's lap. Milo did misbehave a bit and Johnny lectured him on treating big stars with respect if he wanted to get ahead in Hollywood. It's very funny.

A tape of the show can be ordered from Johnny Carson's web site. I bought it several years ago but it was very expensive.

Originally had the CBS version of Battle on tape. When a local
station ran Battle is was cut down from the Extended Version and
included the Alpha-Omega bomb scenes. A friend and I edited the two
tapes together for a complete version of Battle.

James,

I remember the comics and novel of BATTLE included the Alpha Omega Bomb but I never knew they really had filmed those scenes.

Are they included on the DVD Rob or Ron was talking about?
