mention in your account, he did it without anyone knowing that the
chimp could talk. It is certainly possible, if not likely, that the
chimp was raised in or connected to Armando's own living quarters
rather than in a cage next to the elephants. If I were living in a
time when apes were rummaging about the house, I would want my apes
to be clean and free of barn odors. (I have experience with barn
animals and, believe me, keeping them separate would be about the
only way to accomplish this.)

> I'm suggesting that Armando is the owner of the mother ape. I'm
suggesting that he bought the mother "off the record" and keeps the
two on board. This way, he has a female to show if there is question
about the birth record. It may never come up, and probably doesn't.
It doesn't sound as if the powers that be followed through very
carefully on the deaths of our three beloved ape friends.

*** But, IF Armando is the owner of the "mother ape", are the kids
begotten by Caesar on her also in his ownership? My point is that
Breck's security personnel WILL investigate Armando's circus while he
is in their custody -- Breck says "Oh, we WILL," when Armando
says "You can question my circus hands!" Security personnel looking
specifically for any evidence whatsoever about potential talking apes
will be going through Armando's circus with a fine toothed comb. If
any baby chimps begotten by Caesar ARE there, will they be able to
refrain from making any vocal sounds like "Ma-ma!" ? Armando must
know that there's NOTHING incriminating whatsoever in his circus that
can possibly give away the Secret he's been harboring for 18 years,
since it is he who suggests that Breck investigate it. The ONLY
evidence of a "talking ape" is Caesar -- who is missing, and who will
pretend to be a "primitive" ape.

And, if the hypothetical "talking chimps" begotten by Caesar on
your "mother ape" are NOT in Armando's circus -- hence, not able to
give away the Secret -- then they'd have to be somewhere else: either
in some other circus, or zoo, or perhaps Armando's "winter quarters"
in Florida. Armando would have to trust any and all humans who may
have acquired these talking chimps to hide them away as successfully
as he has hid Caesar -- because if even ONE "wrong" person were to
overhear a chimp baby TALKING... then the game is up.

But Armando's line -- "There can be ONLY ONE talking ape" etc -- sure
seems to imply that Caesar is the only POSSIBLE talking ape that
Armando knows of, since he was the offspring of the two talking apes
from the Future.

--------------------------------------------------------
>
> >
> > But... Caesar says that "no one knows" he exists EXCEPT for
Armando. And if Armando had known of any talking chimp babies sired
by Caesar, creatures whose very existence -- even RUMORED existence --
would pose a threat to Caesar, then it's doubtful that he would take
Caesar into Breck's city in the first place. It would just be too
dangerous.
>
>
> But he did take Caesar into the city, even though Caesar was raised
in exactly the circumstances that you suggest would have been
impossible. The reason Armando took Caesar with him into the city
was to drum up business for his dying circus. (I believe this is in
the Conquest novelization.) The circus is Armando's livelihood. It's
pretty likely, and in fact is documented, that he took Caesar because
it could bring some life back into the circus. Caesar has been making
public appearances for quite some time. I think Armando would be
cautious but not intimidated.

*** Armando mentions that his ape is not only "authorized" to be
dressed the way he is (the border guards ask about this), but that he
is "trained as a bareback [horse] rider" in his circus. Caesar is a
performer in the circus -- a picture of him riding a horse is on the
handbills they go around handing out to people in Breck's city.

Armando takes Caesar into the city when he does because he's of the
opinion that Caesar is old enough to be able to handle the trauma of
seeing his fellow apes enslaved and humiliated. Yes, he's trying to
drum up business for his circus, and has to resort to taking a "star
attraction" with him into this city, using Caesar to advertise it
just as Hollywood sends out movie stars to trade shows and
conventions as part of their publicity-tour duties to promote their
own movies. But Armando does this fully believing that Caesar will
NOT screw up and start talking -- let alone shouting out "Lousy human
BASTARDS!" when he sees man's inhumanity to the apes. He also must
fully believe that he left behind NOTHING in the circus that any
investigator could possibly find which would give away the Secret.

Ultimately, the ONLY proof that Breck gets that Armando DID hide away
the changeling child of Zira is when Caesar -- under electrocution
torture -- is forced to "TALK!!!": "H-h-have... pity..."

"There's your PROOF!" Breck finally exclaims. Obviously, none of his
investigators had found anything incriminating in Armando's circus.
Breck is not so unprofessional a despot that he would not have had
EVERY person/thing in that circus catalogued, inventoried, traced,
etc. And that goes for any other APES Armando may have had in his
circus -- especially for them! If there's any baby chimp present in
the circus, then Breck would be especially paranoid enough to assume
that Zira's talking baby chimp had either begotten or birthed that
baby chimp after he/she had grown old enough. If Armando ALSO had
tried to hide any hypothetical talking offspring of Caesar's, in
addition to hiding Caesar himself, then Breck's goons WOULD find
them -- the circus wasn't going ANYWHERE, as long as Armando was in
Breck's custody.

And, if any talking children of Caesar's were elsewhere in the
country or the world, the risk of somebody else hearing those talking
apes make ANY vocalizations resembling human speech would be all the
more prevalent.

And... ask yourself this: Would Caesar willingly become a parent to
some other talking chimps... only to have them TAKEN AWAY from him,
to be raised elsewhere by other people friendly to Armando? If Caesar
HAD fathered any offspring prior to "CONQUEST", it's likely that
Armando would not have torn that ape family apart -- to do so would
be rather cruel, would it not? Zira left her baby with Armando's
circus, to save its life... but Armando did not TAKE her child from
her, to accomplish the same end. But Armando knows that as far as the
whole world is concerned, the danger posed by Zira and Cornelius AND
their baby had been averted when Hasslein shot dead that baby chimp
at the end of "ESCAPE" -- and HE knows that "there can be only ONE
talking ape": Caesar, their surviving child. If Caesar had sired ANY
other chimpanzee, Armando would've had to say, "Listen, Caesar, there
can be NO talking chimpanzees except for YOU -- the surviving son of
the two talking apes who came to us out of the Future -- AND your
beloved children, whom you have sired on What's-her-name," etc.

That single line of dialogue just says it all, I think.

than "primitive" apes -- as all the apes in Planet walk erect. It's
possible that his posture is just better and that he is more
comfortable walking upright. Surely someone with excellent posture
(Julie Andrews) would not feel comfortable walking slumped over
(Jerry Lewis-like) and would need to be reminded to do so. If that is
the case, he could have been around many primitive apes and never
copied their stance.

*** Caesar's first line of dialogue is "Did I do alright?" He had
already been attempting to "move" like a primitive ape -- that's what
the word "do" implies. Do what? Mimic a primitive ape, by not talking
and by ambulating in a certain manner. Caesar does a good job of it --
he fools the border guards, after all -- but he doesn't do as good a
job of it as Armando feels he needs to, which is why Armando FURTHER
suggests that he move his limbs "like so" -- and Armando himself has
to "ape" an ape's movements, to show an evolved ape how to move! "You
should try to walk MORE like a primitive ape" he says. If Caesar had
been around other non-evolved apes, he would already have KNOWN how
they move, and wouldn't need Armando to show him how they move their
arms, etc.

I myself wouldn't be comfortable shambling around like a chimpanzee,
Helen, but I've seen how chimps move from having seen them in
documentaries about apes, and all that... and I -- if I had so --
COULD move my body in a similar fashion. I wouldn't need somebody to
SHOW me how they move, if I had already seen them move. But Caesar
has to be SHOWN by Armando how to do it "better" than he had been
doing it up until then. That tells me that Caesar is the ONLY
chimpanzee in Armando's circus; Heloise has since either died or been
sold or sent to a facility for retired circus animals, or something.
Caesar hadn't had the opportunity to see his "foster-mother" move, in
order to imitate her -- which leads me to wonder WHEN Armando
separated the two. The very last shot of "ESCAPE" shows Baby Milo in
a cage ALL ALONE, with the St. Francis medallion around his neck. Why
isn't he being cradled in Heloise's arms in that shot? Maybe Heloise,
despite having an "understanding" with Zira, had freaked out when
Zira's baby started crying like a human baby, and had "shunned" it.
Maybe Armando had been forced by circumstances to separate the two,
to put the newly-born baby in a cage all by itself. That scene takes
place "one month" after the scene where Armando gives Zira's baby the
medallion -- he had hoped to hide ALL the talking apes in his circus,
preparing to strike his tents in a month before moving on to their
winter quarters in Florida.

Why isn't Heloise with Baby Milo/Caesar at the end of "ESCAPE"? I
think it's a good and relevant question.

----------------------------------------------------------

> > Why would Armando insist that "there can be only one talking

sired baby chimps -- TALKING baby chimps -- on some other female
chimpanzee prior to his encounter with either the Breeding Annex
chimpette or Lisa? I think Armando would know if Caesar had already
become a father IF he indeed had become one. But this line of
dialogue suggests that ONLY Caesar can be the lone talking chimpanzee
on Earth -- as far as Armando knows.
>
> **** It's unfortunate that this line of dialogue is even in the
film. It doesn't make sense in whatever context, anyway, so let me
play with it. Your comment makes sense... that Armando believes
Caesar to be the only talking ape on Earth. But... the wording seems
to mean that he is warning Caesar that there can (Used to indicate
possibility or probability) only be one. See next comment...
>
> >
> > Caesar: "But OUTSIDE OF YOU, no one knows I even exist." [my

and that would have to apply also to any hypothetical female
chimpanzee companions that you want to speculate about.
>
> **** Here Caesar's response makes is sound as if Armando is
speaking of what others might think about the possibility of a
talking ape. It seems as if Armando's comment "there can be only one
talking chimpanzee on Earth" means "If someone heard you talking they
would think you were the child of those talking apes from the future
because that is the only talking chimpanzee that they would think
could possibly exist." Although there is no follow through about the
comment that Armando makes further than this, I think that this
unfortunate comment was used to summarize the previous movie and to
lead up to Breck's remark about the possibility that the little chimp
baby had been switched at birth. I can't imagine all these years had
gone by and NO ONE had given this a thought? Huh? I think probably
this idea had been visited at some point before, which is why I think
Armando had a young chimp female replace the female that had been
switched with baby Milo (aka Caesar).
>

*** I think your re-translation of Armando's line is essentially
correct: if people were to hear Caesar talk, they would assume he had
been related to Zira -- that the baby Hasslein killed had been
switched with him, and that Zira's son had survived.
The "unfortunate" part of the line (from your hypothesis'
perspective) is Armando's words "only one". If Zira's family tree had
been extended not only to a son but also to GRANDCHILDREN, then
Armando's line wouldn't be accurate. He would've had to say, "There
can be NO talking chimpanzees on Earth except for YOU and YOUR
CHILDREN, Caesar"... but this ain't what he says. "Unfortunately".

I do think your speculations are apt regarding the problem Armando
faces regarding "the first chimpanzee ever to be born in a circus".
THAT chimp child had been "fully documented" to have been born "a
month -- a MONTH -- before the talking apes arrived on Earth"... and
THAT chimp child had been FEMALE, named "Salome".

How does Armando get around this? When the cops show up to
investigate his circus as per Hasslein's orders, he refers to
that "first chimpanzee ever to be born in a circus" as a MALE: "Look
how HE's growing!" he says. He already knows, in that scene, that
Zira had switched babies. And he's trying to pass off that male baby
chimp as the one that had been born over a month earlier.

He's not dressing that baby chimp up in girl's clothes, tryin' to
pass "him" off as a female. He's pretending that HE is the same baby
chimp that is already documented to be a "she".

He would have to try to alter the documentation, somehow. But how?
Weren't there stories in the newspapers about this significant birth?
Perhaps, although such stories might not have mentioned the gender of
the child. If they DID, then Kolp would've been able to point out the
discrepancy: a FEMALE chimp, documented as such, somehow winds up
becoming a MALE chimp. Bells would ring. The game is up.

Armando would have to have altered the documentation, or perhaps gone
on to say that a mistake had been made, and that the baby "girl" had
actually been a baby "boy". "Oops, we made a mistake when Lewis Dixon
delivered the baby -- we looked at its gonads and thought we saw a
vagina instead of a penis. Our bad!"

Armando seemed rather confident in the "fully documented" aspect of
things: when Kolp mentions that the search for the Ape-onauts led to
the discovery in Armando's circus of a "young chimpanzee", Armando
vehemently points out that that chimpanzee was "the first chimpanzee
ever to be born in a circus, and LEGALLY CERTIFIED to have been born
a month -- a MONTH -- before the talking apes arrived on Earth!"
Armando must have somehow ALTERED the "legal" documents in question,
if indeed the gender of the baby ape had been documented. If the
gender had NOT been documented (unlikely), then he wouldn't have had
to worry about it.

In my scenario, he re-names "Salome" to its masculine
equivalent: "Solomon". Baby Milo, then, goes by the name "Solomon" in
public, with his OTHER name "Caesar" being a name that ONLY Armando
knows. Otherwise, when he chooses the name "Caesar" for himself out
of that book, Breck would've thought to himself "HEY! That's the name
of the ape we're LOOKING for!" Armando's trying to pass off this ape
as the SAME ape born a month prior to the landing of the Ape-onauts,
and the easiest way to do that is to pretend that a mistake had been
made regarding "her" gender -- "she" was really a "he". So, Salome
becomes Solomon. In public, that is. In private, Armando doesn't want
to associate him with a Jewish king who had lapsed into idolatry
towards the end of his reign, and whose kingdom had thereafter become
split into two factions; Armando wanted this future emperor to be
a "Caesar". Armando IS a Roman Catholic, after all...

Hi Patrick...

Not to dismiss everything else you have written, but how does this
square with your notion that Caesar decides it's time to leave his
seed around [to beget a talking offspring] when he meets up with
Miss Right in the breeding annex? He's GOT to "know" he will never
see that child!

**** Well, I think the line doesn't actually make sense in anyone's
scenario. It's silly to say that there can be no other talking
chimpanzees expept for Caesar, since we are to suppose that everyone
in the entire world believes that Milo died on the ship and was
subsequently disposed of in the ocean.

That is what makes it an unfortunate line, "unfortunately." ;)

If the child developed the power of speech and the intelligence from

looking to 'claim his right to the crown'. His one main rival,
Cornelius, is out of the way. Maybe he would be bitter being the
forgotten bastard (first) son who felt he had been overlooked in the

In the pressbook for the original movie there's this:

"Dick Strout has recorded on LP, open-end interviews with the stars and staff of "Planet of the Apes" which are available with script and timing for radio exploitation.  Stars Charlton Heston, Kim Hunter and Maurice Evans are interviewed and a featurette with the producer, musical director and other behind-the-scenes people are included on the record.  ORDER FROM:  Dick Strout, Inc., Box 907, Beverly Hills, California"

Being that this was written in early 1968 I wouldn't try writing to that address.

I've never heard of anyone possessing this record, but you never know.  I would assume similar records were produced for the sequels and I guess that the one for ESCAPE has no appeared on eBay.

It's all blurry now but I think one of the comic books said Caesar had a
son before Cornelius Jr. who died. Natalie said that was her in the breeding
annex but I don't think it was Lisa. It didn't act like the same character.
Lisa seemed shy. - - - Jeff

  Yeah that really is a mistake. People think 2670 is the year of "Battle" itself (Caesar's time). They even printed that on the box for the VHS copy. The "official" date on the Fox website (and Marvel's chronology) is 2001. Don't remember what the novel says. - - - Jeff

Caesar is very intelligent and I think while he was growing up he read lots of books, possibly wrote a few books, did homestudy college courses and earned a graduate degree, travelled extensively(he was in the circus) and probably learned to speak another language making him bilingual. This all contributed to his being a great leader, after leading a successful revolt. Elaine

Couple of questions about this:

1) What is an "open end" interview?


An "open end" interview is an interview which was originally done by an interviewer to which the answers were given by whoever was being interviewed... But, after the interview, the original interviewers voice, etc. was cut out of it, leaving only the answers from the interviewed... These answers were put to record (or whatever format) and then sent to radio stations as promotional items... To make it short, in the end, your local radio personalities would ask (READ) the questions from a script that was sent with the record, and then they'd play the "answer" to it... That way, it'd give the impression that your local personalities were talking to the stars, asking questions, etc. (It'd go something like this: Radio person reads "We asked Hari what he thought of the CONQUEST film", to which they'd play the cued answer from the record...)



2) Who is/was Dick Strout and Paul Stader?


Other than appearing on this record (and as was pointed out, Dick Strout also did one for PLANET) I have never heard of them...

I just hooked the turntable up for a minute, and listened to the interview with Paul... It's not said outright anywhere on there, but I believe Paul was the Stunt Coordinator. In the early portion, he tells of being in the business for 34 years, and then after some more on his background, he starts talking about CONQUEST and some of the guys they hired to be stunt apes. He also talks of the flame-thrower operator and how the trainer with the whip was able to loop the whip around your neck without hurting anybody...

I think there will be one if the script is there.  But you look back at the last ten years, and all there versions that were gone over and rejected, and then the one that finally got Greenlighted . . . It's probably going to be a long time before there's anything worth making.  I see it's Zanuck's birthday.  We have him to thank for the original, just barely.  But then again we have him to "thank" for the new one, so it kind of cancels each other out.  With any luck He'll have passed on, or be too old a feeble to have anything to do with the next one.

So tonight I watched this great film for the first time in about 5 yrs
It is one of my favorites and tonite reminded me of how much i liked it
the pacing is so good
it has such happy moments and then really brings it down to depression near the end
 
anybody notice that Milo really acts and talks like Roddy does later as Galen in the TV series?
I thought it could have been Roddy speaking
 
is Hasslein mentioned in "conquest"
I wondered how much would the POTA timeline change if Hasslein himself is not killed in this movie and would go on further in the storyline         would he be a hero or a criminal?

Great question Tony.

Well, I have to say I do think there is a chance we could see BOTH,
and another animated series.

The new comic Neil and I are working on is based in the TV Show
environment and it has been written with a specific strategy in
mind - to be easily adapted into a TV Movie.

Worst case scenario - it remains a comic!

I think the best chance we have is going to start with we fans
generating, and sustaining, INTEREST. Since my 4 kids constantly
ask me to play "Return" for them (probably for the cute talking
monkeys rather than the elaborate writing), I believe there is a
market. That market to me is people who feel a sense of loss that
the TV Show was never "finished". Another market is kids just like
my 4 - if Fox put out "Return" as a low budget deal, kids would want
more apes.

So yeah, I think there will be plenty to come...once Fox realise
they need to stop being formulaic and targeting teens with
expendible income and instead target good writers.

I have not seen Escape for a couple of years.

It needed more APES!!!

But the story is great, and what a finale!

I'll have to watch it again soon.

Funny, I watched Beneath again recently and I really forgot until
mid-way through the movie that Roddy was not Cornelius! That fill-

Are you talking about the original five movies? IMHO if they don't
all occur in the same timeline, then any prequels, sequels, etc.,
could occur anywhere out there -- as POTA2001 did -- and still be
POTA! I guess it's a matter of opinion, but I'd rather that any
future stuff "fit."

I always thought the same thing until this weekend when I was looking
at parts of Planet, then a half-hour later looking at parts of
Beneath. The actor did a good job, but I could tell it wasn't Roddy,
right away.

Even though Roddy didn't sign up for Beneath, technically, he is in
all 5 movies since the last part of Planet (with Roddy) was also in
the first part of Beneath.

Thanks for uploading another strip, Neil (and thanks to Mike as well). Things are moving along. I'm now guessing that this story takes place prior to Planet, and that we're seeing the reason for the hunt that captures Taylor. Still, I'm wondering when we'll see those objects from the time capsule re-enter the story and what effect they'll have on Ursus and Marcus.
 
And what's Ursus' secretary reading, anyway? Ape's Wear Daily? And shouldn't it be in scroll format? Or is this one of those 'forbidden' books from 'before the time when the world was nearly destroyed'?

*** Helen, in regards to Caesar's situation in that Breeding Annex
scene, we have to remember that Caesar is trying to pretend that he's
just another non-evolved ape who can't speak English like his Ape-
onaut parents. He MUST "fit in" to the Ape Management chimpanzee
group. When he is brought to the Breeding Annex for the purpose of
inseminating the female that had just arrived there --

"Attention training control. Four females have arrived for
insemination. Three gorillas and one chimpanzee. Please select four
superior males--three gorillas, one chimp--and send them to the
Breeding Annex immediately." ("CONQUEST" novelization, page 78)

-- he MUST do what would come "naturally" to any chimp-from-the-wild.
In John Jakes' novelization, he has Caesar notice [a large square of
black glass in one of the cage walls. The privacy of the shrubbery
was a charade. But of course, the callous breeders--the genetic
experts--would want to be sure the rutting took place. In order that
more slaves might be produced!] (pg. 79)

His next paragraph kinda says it all:

A murmur from the female chimp, and the somewhat more elemental
reactions of his own body, diverted him from the angry thought. As
long as this was inevitable, why not enjoy it?

I agree with Jakes' novelization: the breeders would have to be sure
that their breeding program was on-target for their quotas. They
would make sure that the "rutting" took place, and Caesar -- knowing
that he was being observed -- would have realized that he would be
giving himself away as "different" if he were to refrain from doing
what any normal "primitive" chimpanzee would undoubtedly do when
faced with the prospect of a willing female in estrus.

Caesar would do what he must do. And, though the chimpette may not be
the one who caught his eye prior to his "incident" at the Civic
Center (Lisa), still... what's the worst that could come of this
incident of selective breeding? Even if he were to be unsuccessful in
HIS attempts to free the Apes from slavery, maybe the child begotten
by him in that Breeding Annex could one day serve that purpose --
provided, of course, that the humans running that Breeding Annex
haven't discovered that that baby chimp can vocalize like a human
baby and alerted the Security forces and the Governor.

I like Neil's speculations regarding a possible successor to Caesar's
throne, by the way. They are along the lines I've been thinking for
my own POTA project. This ties in with the "BATTLE" timeline date,
which Helen mentions as 2018 -- though I believe that she got this
from reading one of my past postings on the POTA saga timeline. In my
article for "APESFAN" issue #2, I brought up the line spoken by
Mandemus in "BATTLE" at the end -- that Caesar's Armory had been his
home "for twenty-seven years": Caesar didn't even HAVE an armory
(i.e. the weapons to store in an armory) until his guerrilla/gorilla
army took Breck's city at the end of "CONQUEST" in 1991. The very
earliest year-date that Mandemus' home-in-the-Armory could've been
established would be later in the year 1991 -- so, adding 27 to that
year brings us to the date 2018, which is the earliest possible date
for that story to take place. It COULD have taken place afterwards,
if it took longer than a year for Caesar's simian society to
establish itself in that forest, several days journey (on foot) from
the City. For my project, I'm having "BATTLE" take place in 2018 --
partly for aesthetic reasons: "CONQUEST" takes place when Caesar is
18 years old, having been born in 1973, when "ESCAPE" takes place.
The year 2018 is 27 years after 1991, and the numbers 18 and 27 are
both divisible by 9; Dante Alighieri (whose poem "INFERNO" is part-
inspiration for "BATTLE", since both are a journey into "hell" with a
guide named Virgil...) experienced major turning points in his life
at age 9 and 18, etc., reading all sorts of symbolic meaning in that
(this is in his earlier collection of poems, "La Vita Nuova"/"The New
Life", and the earlier 14th Century Italian spelling of Nuova [Nova],
meaning "New", also meant "Nine", so that that work could also be
titled "The Life of Nine". Caesar, in "BATTLE", becomes a Dante-
figure, since he -- like Dante -- is guided by Virgil into a
symbolic "hell" (Breck's bombed city), where he encounters a sci-fi
version of a "prophecy" in his parents' testimony about the Future
that they witnessed prior to time-travelling back to 1973. Anyway,
it's fitting for Caesar's life to have major events happen at age 9,
age 18 ("CONQUEST"), age 27, age 36, and age 45 ("BATTLE", 27 years
after 1991), etc.

If "BATTLE" takes place in 2018, then, that means that the begetting
and birth of young Cornelius had to have taken place, oh, let's say
about a decade earlier, around 2008 or so. Mendez tells Kolp that if
he attacks Ape City, he'll end "twelve years of peace". SOMEthing
happened 12 years before "BATTLE" (i.e. in 2006), and I'm gonna have
the Nuclear War BE that "something". Thus, there would be 15 years
after "CONQUEST" before the Nukes wipe out human civilization... and
who knows? Maybe Caesar and Lisa had had children during that 15-year
period, and for some reason none of them survived (that we know of).
There had to have been armed conflicts between Caesar's forces and
whatever armed humans who may have been sent out after the escaped
apes when they fled Breck's city. The national government -- and not
just Breck's state government -- would have gotten into the mix, I
think.

Perhaps the reason there are humans in Caesar's "Ape" City
in "BATTLE" is because some humans -- the "few" Caesar mentions to
MacDonald who are kind to apes -- fight on Caesar's side against the
humans who would either re-capture or kill the apes.

That's off the subject, though. I can see Caesar and Lisa -- if they
have lost prior children in the interim between "CONQUEST" and the
Nuke War -- comforting each other in the aftermath of the
thermonuclear conflict which devastates the city over the next
horizon... and producing a child. Thus, I imagine Cornelius being
begotten sometime during or just after the Nuke War in 2006, and
being 12 years old when Aldo murders him.

By this time, of course, IF any prior child of Caesar's IS still
living, he/she is not borne by Lisa; Caesar clearly had been grooming
Cornelius -- named after his own father, the lad's grandfather -- to
be "as tall as a King". My plotline will involve a prior-begotten
intelligent chimp child -- you guessed it, the child begotten in that
Breeding Annex -- who disagrees about Caesar's tolerant attitudes
towards humans. He (sorry gals, I'm making this child a "he") will
see himself as the firstborn RIGHTFUL heir to Caesar's power -- and
he will contest the situation that transpires after "BATTLE", well
after it, since we know that Caesar wrote his own story and lived to
be upwards of 100 years old (in 2670, the Lawgiver says it's
been "nearly 600 years since his death" circa 2070).

If Caesar is to attempt to re-enfranchise the humans in his
community, to make their city not an "Ape" City, but something
inclusive of ALL the people, both Ape and Man, then there WILL be
those who just won't stand for it. Splitters who will form their own
faction -- maybe even separate themselves physically, travelling
across the blasted deserts in search of other "green" areas where
they can live in purely Ape communities unpolluted by humans. I can
see Aldo-friendly gorillas doing so... since there are no gorilla
kids in Lawgiver's audience at the end of "BATTLE". Where are they?

Did Caesar ever successfully beget another heir to his throne by
Lisa? Was she still of child-bearing age in 2018? If she and Caesar
are both roughly the same age (a fair bet, I think), then she too
would be 45 years old when Cornelius is murdered by Aldo -- and
Cornelius seems to have been the only child she'd given birth to who
was alive prior to Kolp's attack. What if Lisa has gone through
menopause? What if she DOES get pregnant again... only to suffer
miscarriages? What if circumstances just aren't there to enable
Caesar to have a "royal family" dynasty to carry the torch of his new
empire?

I can see power struggle along the lines of the one in the
play/movie "THE LION IN WINTER", where a long-estranged son born in
1992 by the Breeding Annex female steps forward and says, "I am the
firstborn son of Caesar... and I claim my right to the crown!"

Historically, a "bastard"/illegitimate son could not inherit the
throne unless the king-father "acknowledged" him as his heir. Even if
everybody KNEW the dude was his illegitimate offspring, it didn't
matter: the king HAD to make it official by formally "acknowledging"
the bastard's blood-connection. A monarch could be pressured into
doing so, too, if a contingent backing that bastard's claim to the
throne were to threaten civil war.

There's all kinds of possibilities for a POTA-project
after "BATTLE"... and, of course, my project will be just one of many
possibilities.

nothing that says it couldn't have been Lisa. So maybe the child
that was born from that union WAS Cornelius. Unless someone
remembers a time difference that makes it impossible.

*** I think Mandemus' line -- "27 years" since the Armory became his
home -- does make it impossible for Cornelius to be the child born
from the Breeding Annex "rutting". He's just a boy, not a 26-or-27
year old adult in "BATTLE".

Maybe, though, it WAS Lisa in that Breeding Annex... and she DID
produce a child from Caesar... but that child grew up and eventually
was killed prior to the Nuke War (circa 2006 in my POTA timeline), so
that she and Caesar mated again, so as to have surviving offspring.

However, I'm of the opinion that even if Natalie Trundy DID portray
the chimpette in the Breeding Annex, that character was NOT Lisa, but
some other female chimp. The impression I got was that Lisa was the
property of Mrs. Riley, and that the female apes (3 gorilla, 1 chimp)
that had "arrived for insemination" would be apes NOT already owned
by customers. If Lisa had been brought to the Breeding Annex, it
would have to have been with her owner's permission -- but then why
would an inseminated and PREGNANT Lisa be doing not only her work for
Mrs. Riley but ALSO the duties at the Command Post, where she and
Caesar work together in some capacity?

I think that the impregnated apes would be KEPT in the Breeding
Annex, with their diets monitored (etc etc), so as to ensure the
optimum production of newborn slave-baby apes.

That's my take on it, anyway. Natalie portrayed TWO female chimps,
just as who knows how many "ape" actors portrayed numerous background
apes. I'll bet that there's a gorilla who gets killed in one scene
portrayed by an actor who plays another gorilla in a later scene.

Besides, don't all apes look alike?

;)

*** WHAAAT?! Oh, trying to fit "Return" into the POTA movie/TV
timeline...

I don't think it's possible, guys & gals. Quite frankly, I CAN make
sense out of "Hasslein's Theory" (of Time, etc)... but "RETURN" has
something called "Doctor Stanton's theory of TIME-THRUST", and I'll
be jiggered if I can tell what the *&#$ Larry Spiegel meant by that
when he wrote "FLAMES OF DOOM"! It has something to do with sending
Man into the Future, but your standard Einsteinian time-dilation
effects would do that too, at near-light velocities.

Furthermore, the space agency in the cartoon was "NASA", not "ANSA"
as it is in both the movies and the POTA TV show.

Ohhhh, I probably shouldn't say it's absolutely IM-possible for the
cartoon to be force-fit into the live-action POTA saga... but I can't
think of ANY scenario that could do so that doesn't involve a
suspension of disbelief of humongoid proportions. It'd be easier to
fit in Marvel's "KINGDOM ON AN ISLAND OF THE APES" scenario, I think.

But, for ME... nope. For my POTA project, the only "canon" is what
was filmed -- including, though, filmed scenes that ended on the
cutting-room floor, such as the extended dialogue between Zaius and
Ursus in the steambath (there's an mpeg of that -- of atrocious
quality, but it's THERE -- on one of the POTA sites). Any scene that
could conceivably be worked back into a movie -- or TV episode -- is
fair game for inclusion, in some sort of "director's cut" version.
Especially the Doomsday Bomb scenes deleted from "BATTLE": Kolp's
line to Alma, "Wait for my signal", doesn't mean anything unless we
know that he told Alma earlier that he would give her a signal to
fire the missile at the Apes if he failed in his invasion. Those
deleted scenes make sense out of the dialogue in the official
released version of the movie.

Patrick

P.S. I don't think "ESCAPE" changed any "ape revolution" dates, since
Cornelius' testimony to the Commission reveals that English has been
the language of his ancestors for "two thousand years, roughly". That
means that there were talking apes around since the 20th Century, as
opposed to his later statements to Hasslein's interrogators about
there being centuries between the enslavement of Apes and their
achievement of speech. Aldo didn't "happen" five centuries after the
Pet Plague, folks... he came on the scene around five YEARS after
that!
