Thats what I was saying too... Although, I believe you can get by with just
one person doing a full length commentary, as long as they're commenting on the
screen itself...

I just bought the Land Of The Lost Season one DVD set and it has commentary
on it, and a lot of the commentary is just one person commenting on one full
length episode, and it works...

You really meant 'Apes Now Speak Aloud' didn't you James. You threw
this in as a test didn't you? What do I win? ;-)

Anyway I won't come up with another numbingly stupid answer but I
will just say that I believe one of the 'A's should stand for
America. I mean the space ships do have 'United States' written on

Jeff, I'm very envious! This sounds like the ultimate collector's
book for fans of simian fiction including and beyond POTA. That's
me! Now I need to hunt this one down. Sounds like you made quite a
find. I'm going to send your description out to my Yahoo Simian
Fiction group (link in our Links section) to see if anyone there
knows about it. It's a long shot, though, since there are not many
on that group who are into simian comics. But you never know.

Thanks, Kass, for the link to this one. I had ordered the earlier
run (and still waiting their arrival) of 12" figures from Sideshow,
but had no idea that they were coming out with an 18" Lawgiver, the
greatest of all apes!!! (according to Cornelius anyway). What say
the experts on this group? Is this a worthy reproduction of the
Lawgiver statue? Did they get it right?

It's hard to say just from viewing pictures of the prototype, but I almost
prefer Medicom's Greatest Ape. It was certainly a lot cheaper and a lot
easier to store.

The 23rd Scroll, 9th verse has some interesting choices of words.
Note that humanity are described as "among God's primates". That
would indicate that, at some point, the apes believe humans to be a
primate creation of God, just like themselves. That line does more
to bring the species together than to separate them. Had we not
heard more of the Sacred Scrolls, I might have assumed that, at one
point in ape mythology, they viewed apes and humans to be equal, but
that the humans "fell" from grace, making them "alone" because of
their vices.

I say I might have assumed that, except that we also learn that
Proteus, in some sort of ape eden, made sport of the human. The apes
seem to view their separation from humans as having taken place very
early in the development of creation. Any thoughts on this?
