Don't know if this was mentioned before but Scrolls is the featured fanzine in the UK mag SFX! (Not SciFiNow which I was looking for!) I forget which issue is it but I took a blurry pic with my phone in the store! This is probably old news to UKers!

Tim

Most of those pics look like publicity photos taken on the set before the film was edited. I wonder of they were studio

One odd thing about the Ursus/Zaius/Minister pic is that it is a reversed negative. You can tell because Ursus' gun & holster is on his left side.

Well back in the '80s there were some hardcore fans who didn't like the new uniforms or changes to the Enterprise or even the music. They wanted Star Trek back exactly as it had been done in the '60s.

Well then you're getting into the question as to exactly what BSG is. Is it the concept or the execution? There are many concepts from Sherlock Holmes to Tarzan to Buck Rogers to Batman that have had various executions over the years. Fans of one particular execution may not like another verision of the same concept. (I know there are fans of the '60 Batman TV series who hate the recent movies.) But just because the recent execution of BSG is different from the '70s version doesn't mean it is not still BSG. If BSG had been done in the '60s rather than in the '70s, after Star Wars, the execution might have looked entirely different.

In the past there have been several dicussions here about what is POTA. (Is it just talking apes? If so then Lancalot Link is a version of POTA.) For most it is usually whatever version of POTA that first made them a fan. For some it is the movies, or even the first movie. For some it is the TV show or comics. I'm sure there are even some for which it is the novel who think the movie it not POTA.

The thing is Universal did not hire Ron Moore to revive BSG. He went to them because he was a fan of the original and had a vision to bring it back. Most likely any revival of the concept would have died after the Singer version was abandoned if it hadn't been for Moore.

I think this was the main problem with Burton's POTA. For years FOX had been trying to revive the franchise. Tim Burton was just a hired gun, not someone who was a fan and really wanted to do it. That's what POTA needs. Someone who is a fan of the original and has a vision for its revival.

I noticed that too. I had to run it back to make sure I wasn't imaging things.

Greetings, everyone.  I found an album from 1975 at a flea market which features music from my two favorite franchises:  Apes & Trek.  Everyone, their brothers, and their second cousins were doing quickie albums of TV themes back in the seventies, but this is the first time I've seen one with music based on the Apes TV series (besides the original Schifrin score, of course).  I thought it was pretty interesting, so I thought I would share the covers with you all.  Enjoy!

I have always felt that Taylor's ship had the capability of being relaunched. When it sinks he says "OK We're here to stay" which infers that if the ship had not sunk they would have the option of leaving.

I've always felt that Dehn has not gotten enough credit or respect from fans. Sure there are discrepencies but there are in all series. But back then they didn't have people assigned to check continuity like they do today. And even with those people there are still big discrepencies in franchised like Star Wars and Star Trek. And remember Dehn was writing each film as if it would be the last in an age before home video. I don't think he envisioned fans being able to run the films back over and over again checking over every detail.

I also think Dehn suffers in comparison to Serling & Wilson. The screenplay for Planet is a masterpiece. But it took them years of revisions to get to that while Dehn had to churn out his screenplays fairly quickly for each sequel.

Please tell us more. What exactly did Dehn say and where did you read this interview?
