It's true!

When NASA was working with the European Space program

one or the other of them didn't convert to or from metric, so by

the time the parachute deployed the probe had crash into the

planet.  Then they lost another one to something else.  But

someone, either the Europeans or the Japanese over shot the

planet completely . . . so.  As the saying goes, it IS rocket

Do You Yahoo!?

Hi, Mike (et al.). Sorry I've been away. Super busy. Another death in
the family and other stuff that's been a drag to deal with.

On to NeptuneWanter's query regarding the 3978-vs.-3955 debate...

My take on it goes like this:

Taylor and Virdon both command their own ANSA missions, Taylor's
destination being an unnamed star system 320 lightyears away in
Orion, and Virdon's destination being Alpha Centauri, 4.34 ly away.

We know that Virdon was "approaching" his destination when they ran
into "radioactive turbulence" and subsequently underwent a
mysterious "time warp" that sent them from the EARTH-TIME date 8-19-
1980 to 7-14-3085 (just about a month shy of 1,105 EARTH-TIME years
in mere seconds of SHIP-TIME) -- [opening credits sequence].

We also know that Virdon ordered Jones to activate a gizmo he
calls "the Emergency Homing Device" ["EHD"] -- and Jones must have
activated it since their ship does somehow manage to get back to
Earth.

BUT... the day after they land, after Prefect Veska's gorillas have
trashed the interior of the ship, they see the EARTH-TIME clock
reading 3-21-3085, which is 116 days EARLIER than 7-14-3085. This
date, 3-21-3085, is still on the EARTH-TIME clock more than a week
later, at the end of the episode, which indicates that that date
was "frozen" onto the clock after the ship landed due to the damage
the gorillas inflicted on it that very day.

This all tells me that this ANSA ship, in order to escape the
vicinity of whatever it is that's causing the "radioactive
turbulence" (in my scenario, a Black Hole), can -- upon activation of
the EHD -- escape the inescapable, and travel a distance of 4.34
lightyears in almost a blink of an eye of SHIP-TIME...

... AND the equivalent of 116 EARTH-TIME days... BACKWARDS through
Time.

In other words, somehow Virdon's ship travelled backwards through
Time about 26.728 days per lightyear. Multiplied by the distance from
Alpha Centauri [4.34 ly], and we get 116 days. Backwards, from July
14th 3085 to March 21st 3085.

Coincidentally, Taylor's ship somehow winds up back on Earth. In my
scenario, it's because somebody activated a similar EHD and propelled
his entire command ship a distance of 320 lightyears and an
equivalent duration of Negative Time, at the same rate that Virdon's
ship experienced. Multiply 26.728 days-per-lightyear by 320 and you
get about 8553. Divide 8553 by 365.2422 days-per-year, and you get
the number 23.4 EARTH-TIME years of backwards time travel. Subtract
23.4 years from 11-25-3978 [the date Taylor sees on his DAMAGED
ship's EARTH-TIME clock] and you find yourself smack dab in the
summer of 3955 A.D.!

Taylor's ship -- or, "shuttle" -- didn't register the back-thru-Time
passage of 23.4 years, and so gave the INCORRECT date on its EARTH-
TIME clock [11-25-3978], whereas the other two shuttles that had
accompanied his voyage 320 lightyears out into Orion did NOT suffer
the same damage (by "damage" I'm referring to Stewart's cracked
hibernation chamber, etc), and DID have the correct EARTH-TIME date
on the display -- a date sometime in the summer of 3955.

That's why the ship Brent and his 'Skipper' flew down to the
Forbidden Zone -- while it was still in orbit -- had an EARTH-TIME
reading of "three niner five five" on it, according to Brent.

The THIRD ship -- the one that Milo found on the "seaboard" (i.e. the
coast of the OCEAN, and not the LAKE in which Taylor's ship sank) --
also had an EARTH-TIME clock on it, and it read the same date that
Brent's ship did: 3955. Zira tells this to Hasslein, more or less
(she says "thirty nine... fifty... something"). The President tells
Hasslein that the scientists going over the ship with microscopic
scrutiny discovered that the date was "thirty nine fify FIVE... A.D.
presumably". Given the fact that that same EARTH-TIME clock
ACCURATELY gave the final date -- 1973 -- after going backwards
through Time following the detonation of the Doomsday Bomb (a date
which Zira also mentions to Hasslein), then it's a fair bet that that
clock was in perfect working order, and that its "3955" date also is
accurate.

So, then, the date when PLANET and BENEATH take place is 3955. The
only reason (according to my scenario) that Taylor sees an EARTH-TIME
date of 11-25-3978 instead is because it WAS the year 3978 when his
ship was 320 lightyears away at its destination... but since that
time, somebody pressed the button marked "EMERGENCY HOMING DEVICE"
and sent the whole kit-and-kaboodle back to Earth at the rate of
26.728 EARTH-TIME days per lightyear (just as Virdon's ship
experiences).

The SAME thing happens to both Taylor's (mother)ship and Virdon's
ship, due to the activation of a PRE-PROGRAMMED device in each ANSA
ship. They both go back to Earth and both at the same rate of warped
speed: in their cases, BACKWARDS through Earth-Time. If Virdon's
EARTH-TIME chronometer had been 'damaged' the same way that Taylor's
was, then he and Burke would've seen the date 7-14-3085, instead of 3-
21-3085.

All of this, of course, is due to the fact that Paul Dehn made a
mistake when he wrote his screenplay for "BENEATH" -- had he worked
from a transcript of the verbatim dialogue and details of "PLANET",
he undoubtedly would've had Brent mention "an Earth-Time reading"
of "three niner seven eight" or "nine", placing it immediately after
the events of "PLANET". Dehn must've somehow remembered that "PLANET"
was set in the 3900's but didn't have the 11-25-3978 date at hand,
and so came up with his own date that unfortunately didn't 'jibe'
with it.

Or... perhaps it WAS fortunate, in that by applying the TV show
details to the movie scenario, I was able to conveniently unflub his
notorious flub.

My scenario works for me, though I'll admit that there are POTA fans
here and elsewhere who don't dig it. It has the virtue of making
sense of the 'canon' chronology details as presented on-screen and is
consistent with the TV show, too.

Incidentally (Mike), my scenario does NOT disagree with your
statement below: "one of the clocks" WAS faulty -- it was TAYLOR'S
clock that gave the "faulty" reading of 11-25-3978. Only because his
shuttle's Navigational computer hadn't registered the backwards-
through-time passage of 23.4 years, due to circumstances unseen on-
screen. But Brent's ship AND the "third" ship DID register this jump
back in Time. These ANSA ships are programmed to click backwards when
the circumstances require it, otherwise the Ape-onauts wouldn't have
seen the EARTH-TIME clock do just that after the shockwave hit the
ship. The spacetime warping properties of the ANSA hyperdrive must
allow for the theoretical possibility of NEGATIVE time travel, just
as they also allow for the effects of Time Dilation (as Taylor talks
about in his "final report"). All according to Hasslein's theory of
Time...

Hi! I remember reading that Roddy McDowell filmed a lot of behind the
scenes shots during the making of POTA. Some of these films appeared
in the recent DVD releases. I know that an archive was created at a
college in Massachusetts (I think it's sealed for 100 years), so could
the films be in there? Does anyone have any information on this?

I attended the Chiller Theatre convention in NJ over the weekend. As
usual, there were a lot of sci-fi and horror bootleg DVDs for sale.
However, one thing I had never really seen before were DVD "fan
films"
of Star Trek, Star Wars, and various super-heroes. Apparently, fans
of
these titles now get together and chip in to finance their own low-
budget Star Trek and Star Wars films, as well as Spider-man, Batman
etc. I was amazed by the quality. Some of these films were based on
Star Trek or Star Wars books that have been published over the years.
Others were original stories written by the fans themselves. A lot of
work went into these films. Now my question is....How come POTA fans
have not tried doing this yet?? I know copyrights could be a problem.
But it seems Lucas Films, Paramount, Marvel and DC did not hamper the
production and distribution of their copyrighted material. So, would
Fox really care if POTA fans did the same?

Where are they then?

As mentioned, they're probably in the "Roddy archives" at that college... And what he had printed is true, I guess it's really not supposed to be opened until 100 years after Roddy's death... <.html <.html

SCREW THAT!

I think it was in Roddy's will that it not be opened... But then again, since there was some additional home movie footage in the 35th Anniversary DVD of PLANET (more than there was included in the BEHIND documentary) there might be hope that his home films are not included in the material at the school... They may be under someone else's control?<.html <.html

Indeed it was - all the contents of the museum are fanatically preserved and kept.

I guess what I don't get is why there'd be ANSA ships from "Taylor's time" being preserved and worked on when there's 500 years of time between "our time" and the 500 years of technology that will follow us... I don't see why there wouldn't be much more "modern/futuristic" ships down there, ships that would have a better chance of being operational. The old style ICARUS ship design would probably be obsolete by the future's standards, so why bother with their style of ships?<.html <.html

Of course there has to be one VERY similar to Taylor's as well because that's what ends up transporting the 3 astro apes (I can't change what is written!).

Face it.... The ship in ESCAPE is supposed to be the same ship Taylor and crew travelled in... The real reason it's different in ESCAPE and PLANET is easy: Creative license...<.html <.html

The Sculptor even included Clear Plastic Rods of Varying Lengths to Build the Tubes Taylor Presses to End the Planet Of The Apes (And his Connection to the Franchise LOL) So as I was Sayin; What I'm Tryin' to Get is a CLEAR Screen-Grab or Publicity Shot of The "Box/Alter" and the Book The Whole Thing!

DVD DOES have some great Reference of the Mutant Make-Up Tests BUT Next To NUTHIN' for the Bomb/Alter Set.
