And I can’t work out for the life of me where the extended edition is going to BE.  Is it the flip side of standard Battle ?  Does it REPLACE Standard Battle?

As Rory said – unless they are using Hunter’s version as the master (and what would be the point of that?), they HAVE been PLANNING to do this for some time.

A hell of a lot of this does not make sense.

________________________________________________________________

*** I don't know if this idea would gel well with any other story
ideas here, but here's one that some a-youse apes might think
interesting...

In the Caesar-dominated era following "BATTLE", the guns are still
kept away from the citizens, though preserved in case of any future
attack by Mutants.

In 2670, the descendants of Caesar's peacenik group would probably
still have that Armory, but they seem to have had little-to-no need
of it.

The gorillas (as I've mentioned a bunch of times before) do NOT seem
to be included in this group.

Eventually, gorillas DO rejoin the Chimp/Orang/Human group... but at
some point the Humans are repressed and forced into servitude, so
that things degenerate to the point we see them in 3085.

My idea for a POTA comic involves HOW the gorillas insinuate
themselves into the Chimp/Orang/Human group. They do so by using
GUNS. But not the guns that have been kept in the Armory (those guns
were hand-me-downs from Pre-Nuke War times). The guns that the
Gorillas are seen to use in the TV show era (and, later, in "PLANET"
and "BENEATH") are Ape-made weapons. Specifically, Gorilla-made
weapons.

How might gorillas have learned how to make their own guns?

Idea: at some point, the Mutant society -- perhaps led by somebody
named Mendez XI, almost halfway between the Mendez in "BATTLE" and
Mendez XXVI from "BENEATH" -- realizes that the populations of Apes
and Humans on the surface world is growing too high for their own
liking. Mendez XI wants to find a way to set them at each others'
throats -- you know, like how the 'Negro' tells Brent and Taylor, "We
don't kill our enemies; we get our enemies to kill each other."

So... the Mutants find a way to teach (telepathically, perhaps) one
of the brute, splitter Gorillas how to make a Gun and ammunition for
it -- maybe "retro-engineering" a rifle or pistol some gorilla found
somewhere, that sort of thing. The Mutants also use their telepathic
abilities to get a sense of the rift between the Gorillas and the
other Apes, all over the Human issue.

Thus, using Gorilla anti-Human prejudices for their own ends, the
Mutants help the Gorillas to arm themselves with self-made Guns that
fire Gorilla-made ammo... and give them the telepathic prompting to
set 'em on a collision course with the virtually unarmed
Chimp/Orang/Human group. This would be CENTURIES after the last time
guns had ever been used by this group of peaceniks, so that even
though they know they've got an Armory full of guns, they've
neglected to TRAIN in the use and the upkeep of these things.

The story could start out with the final line of the nice Lawgiver
from "BATTLE", in answer to the question: "Lawgiver, who knows about
the Future?"... "Perhaps only the Dead."

Pan to the right... to the weeping statue of Caesar...

Cut to a shot of a gorilla living a harsher existence, clad in less
refined clothing than the traditional leather garb we saw
in "BATTLE". He's armed with a bow-&-arrow. He and his fellow
gorillas have had to resort to carnivorism to stay alive. They wear
the skins of the animals they've hunted for food.

They're on the other side of the ruins of the Forbidden City from the
treefort 'Ape City', south of it.

Out of nowhere, a huge Fire flares up...It begins to Thunder...
there's Lightning... but it doesn't rain. There's a strange, violent
earthquake...

And, when the Illusions are over, the leader of this gorilla tribe
has vanished. He's brought to the old APE MANAGEMENT area, where Kolp
had set up his "control room" to oversee the city when he ran things
after the Nuke War.

Using their mind-control techniques, these Mutants are able to
interrogate this gorilla... but, instead of killing him (or, having
another captured gorilla and him kill each other), they decide to
hatch their own plot to stir up discord in the populations of Apes
and Humans on the surface.

After giving this gorilla the knowledge of Gun-making (and Ammo-
making), they set him loose again... and he willingly goes about
fulfilling his own desire to subjugate the Chimp/Orang/Human group,
so that Gorillas are in control of all Apedom (and Humans forced into
subservience)...

.... but he also plots to lead an army of armed Gorillas back into the
Forbidden City, so that he can "bite-the-hand-that-armed-him" so to
speak. When he does so, Mendez XI is forced to lead his own people
(and their beloved Doomsday Bomb) on a sojourn out of Breck's/Kolp's
city... through the underground military tunnel system that had been
used before "BATTLE" to get the Bomb to that city in the first
place... towards a new home, far far away from the California region
where they had stirred things up perhaps TOO far...

I would set this story around 2750 or so. Just before the writing of
the SACRED SCROLLS (c. 2755, or 1,200 years before 3955). Part of the
transformation of Ape Society at this point would be the re-writing
of Ape History so as to either whitewash the story of Aldo, or to
erase Caesar & Aldo (etc) from History entirely. A new "Creation"
myth would be concocted, and the new 'history' would essentially
begin then-and-there. From thenceforth, Ape History would acknowledge
no prior culture earlier than the time of THIS new, anti-Human
Lawgiver. When Galen says that Apes have ALWAYS ruled the world, it
will be based on a calendar that dates back to 2755 only. His society
will not have been taught anything about Caesar, or about the prior
Human culture that once ruled the Earth.

One other thing: the way I kinda/sorta imagine Mendez XI is that the
nice Mendez (from "BATTLE") put the crazy notion into Alma's mind
that the Doomsday Bomb should be venerated...

.... and Alma, pregnant with Kolp's child, is bent enough to actually
put her Faith, her Belief, in that Bomb God...

Mendez, in this story idea, is a fledgling telepath. He uses his
telepathic abilities to 'massage' the susceptible minds of his fellow
losers into Believing in this new Bomb God. Think of it as a sort of
Conditioning, using Positive Reinforcement. He stimulates their
mental 'satisfaction' centers when they contemplate the Bomb as "God".

When Alma's preborn fetus develops sufficiently, Mendez establishes a
telepathic link to that developing brain...

.... and he imprints his own Personality, Memories, and Thoughts into
that fetal brain. He hijacks the mind of that fetus, as a form of
self-reincarnation. His adult body, now Mindless, goes into a coma
and eventually dies. Mendez lives on in his NEW body, being born to
Alma already able to speak and think. His new incarnation, then, is
as Mendez II. Thus begins the dynasty of the Mendez line: all 26
of 'em are the SAME personality, but with each successive
incarnation, it's like a photocopy of a photocopy of a photocopy...
not all of his memories survive the transition from Old to New, from
dying adult to preborn fetus.

He reincarnates sorta like how Buddhists consider the Dalai Lama to
be the incarnation of the Buddha. He alone is thought to be special,
to be called "Your Holiness" (as Caspay calls Mendez XXVI). But his
mind is altered with each reincarnation. Whereas Mendez the First did
not worship the Bomb -- only using his telepathic abilities to coax
the other so-called Mutants into venerating it -- the fact that his
next incarnation begins within the womb of Alma, the developing mind
of that newly-hijacked mind is in a kind of mental contact with its
own mother. Alma's madness, her belief in the Bomb as God, INFECTS
the mind of Mendez II, so that Mendez unexpectedly becomes a believer
in a religion he knew was false. He didn't intend to be a believer,
too, but this changes when Alma's madness infects the mind of the
fetus. Much of Mendez's memories and personality traits carry over
into the mind of Mendez II, but not all...

Thus, the dynasty of the Mendez line (as I imagine it) goes something
like this (chronology-wise), with each incarnation lasting, on
average, about 78 years [actually, 78.1974284 years, for only one
reason I happen to dig: the "bad luck" number 13 squared is 169, and
169 squared is 28,561; if each Mendez incarnation were to last 28,561
days (on average), then dividing that by 365.24219 gives 78.1974284
years-per-incarnation. This is my way of working in 26 generations of
Mendezes from "BATTLE" to "BENEATH", a period of 1,937 years, from
the end of the life of Mendez I to the end of the life of Mendez XXVI:

Mendez (the First): c. 1955-ish to 2019 [he "re-incarnates" at 64
years of age or so, depending on whether or not he's born in 1955 or
some other year]
Mendez II: 2019 to 2097 [Year of the Bomb 13 to 91]
Mendez III: 2097 to 2175 [YB 91 to 169]
Mendez IV: 2175 to 2253 [YB 169 to 247]
Mendez V: 2253 to 2331 [YB 247 to 325]
Mendez VI: 2331 to 2409 [YB 325 to 403]
Mendez VII: 2409 to 2488 [YB 403 to 482]
Mendez VIII: 2488 to 2566 [YB 482 to 560]
Mendez IX: 2566 to 2644 [YB 560 to 638]
Mendez X: 2644 to 2722 [YB 638 to 716]
Mendez XI: 2722 to 2800 [YB 716 to 794; this one is the guy who
teaches the marauding gorillas how to make Guns and Ammunition, when
he himself is about 28 years of age, c. 2750, or YB 744]
Mendez XII: 2800 to 2879 [YB 794 to 873]
Mendez XIII: 2879 to 2957 [YB 873 to 951]
Mendez XIV: 2957 to 3035 [YB 951 to 1029]
Mendez XV: 3035 to 3113 [YB 1029 to 1107]
Mendez XVI: 3113 to 3191 [YB 1107 to 1185]
Mendez XVII: 3191 to 3270 [YB 1185 to 1264]
Mendez XVIII: 3270 to 3348 [YB 1264 to 1342]
Mendez XIX: 3348 to 3426 [YB 1342 to 1420]
Mendez XX: 3426 to 3504 [YB 1420 to 1498]
Mendez XXI: 3504 to 3582 [YB 1498 to 1576]
Mendez XXII: 3582 to 3661 [YB 1576 to 1655]
Mendez XXIII: 3661 to 3739 [YB 1655 to 1733]
Mendez XXIV: 3739 to 3817 [YB 1733 to 1811]
Mendez XXV: 3817 to 3895 [YB 1811 to 1889]
Mendez XXVI: 3895 to 3955 [YB 1889 to 1949: he dies at age 60,
prematurely, having intended to incarnate as Mendez XXVII around A.D.
3973/YB 1967].

I'll end this already longish post right here, and let you all mull
it over, criticize the idea, applaud it, whatever the case may be.
This story would have lots of Apes in it... it'd have Mutants and
Humans, too. The gorillas, at first, would be carnivorous ones, like
the ones who left their bones in that Cave over near the Ape City
location from the 1st two movies.

Tentative title: "ARMS AND THE APE" This is an "aping" of the famous
title "Arms and the Man", which goes back to the opening line of the
epic poem "THE AENEID", "Arma virumque cano, Troiae qui primus ab
oris..." [translation: "Arms and the man I sing, who first from the
shores of Troy..."]. The plot of this story would be about the arming
of the Gorillas, of course, and their use of them to conquer the
peacenik Apes (to "free" them of their unholy alliance with evil
Humans) and to subjugate Mankind. "ARMS AND THE APE"... I kinda like
it.

I wonder if Neil would like to draw this kinda story?

Patrick

It certainly could.

But I don’t see James Naughton ever returning to do guest appearances (or Roddy , or Mark Lenard!) and I would want this trilogy to enable a “Sci-Fi Channel” revamp if it sells out in the UK or something.

Really, I can only see Booth and Ron being involved and it also gives closure to the actual passing of Roddy and Mark if those two characters die before we step into what I say as a new place the TV Show could start.

I liked Logan ’s Run.

But hey, I liked most any sci-fi movie.

I really did enjoy LR and was happy that they did a TV Show.

But when I bought LR on DVD I was a little disappointed – something was missing since I had seen it last (MANY moons ago).

Exactly... The films all had "downer" endings (except for BATTLE which was pretty ambiguous... And the only thing that was a downer in CONQUEST was the fact that they tacked on the "bullshit ending"...) But anyway, the TV series should have carried on a bit more of the "darker" tone of the films...

As to what the "TV series only" fans want, all it seems is that they want somebody to "look at" and the "feel good" aspect of a "buddy show"... They might as well have watched Starsky and Hutch if that's all they want...

No Mike, I think I’m over all that.

Let some other fool do it and pay for it too!

As far as this Music CD goes there are 2 things:

(1) if Chris Lawless is involved, don’t hold your breath (but the final result should be worth it);

(2) I’m happy to lay back, let everyone else do the work, and get my freebie at the end!

You know that huge claw in the museum in Planet?  Something the owner of that laid….  J

Oh, just that dipshit Chris!

He tried to make out the DG looks bad (or we “have egg on our faces”) because we did not get behind that on-line petition.

Then he realises he didn’t even sign the thing himself!

What a retard!  J

Actually, I think he was saying he doesn’t KNOW if he signed it so maybe he just does too many drugs!  J

Really, this is SO funny.

So Rory, remind us again how long Fox must have been planning the EXTENDED BATTLE release?

Do you have any idea why a few people with very low IQs have to persist in claiming it really had something to do with the smallest petition I have ever seen (actually, does it QUALIFY as a petition with so few signatures?).

This is SOOOOO funny!  J

Neil, can we interview this guy in Similar Scrawls?

What's this all about?

-- Rory

I’d like to ask him how long they have had a version of extended Battle and if Return is an inferior quality release.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m all for petitions.

I can see some danger in anyone believing it is this easy, and I can smell an agenda when a particular person is championed for something they did not do.

It would be dangerous if people are convinced it really is THAT easy, eh Rory?

I read long ago that Fox was preparing anamorphic transfers for region 1 DVD release.  I'm sure Fox has had them ready for sometime.  These new DVDs are coming out now ONLY because Fox is trying to get some of the KING KONG attention from DVD buyers, and I'm sure Fox wishes KONG had been a bigger hit.  But anyway...

I'm going to e-male that guy at Fox about this and see if he'll reply.

-- Rory

Yeah – not sure how far to go with Galen.

I just want it to be an unfamiliar place where nothing can be taken for granted.

Do you like the way GOING HOME is headed?

Well, I haven't had a chance to check out the latest installment so I can't comment on that... However, I am a bit skeptical about reading that Galen will be the new "Urko"... I can see him changing his view on humans if he believes they killed his  mother, but as far as him leading troops in a battle, that's something else again... He just isn't the warlord type... I have no problem seeing Galen change his point of view, but I really rather not see him go all "Thade"...

I agree with Mike.

BTW, the guy who won the LP is sending me a copy, so that will be
included in the compilation as well.

If it's really bad -- please don't!

-- Rory

No, it should be included just as a curiousity if nothing else...

Hey stranger – been reading the comics?
