[edit] Similar incident?
Here is how a certain sentence in the introductor paragraph currently reads: "The series takes place in the same society, ten years after a similar incident." I originally thought that this was the crash from the first movie. I could have been the crash from the second movie. But because the fifth movie is obviously from an alternate history (caused by the incidents of the third and fourth movies?) where humans could still speak, the attack on the human in New York took place earlier, and humans and apes were equals. We don't know which of these two parallel universes the television series took place in, or is it yet another one? (Did the humans regain speech? Did apes reassert their dominance? Did another time-travel incident occur?) We don't even know if the Dr. Zaius is the same one as in the movie, or another ape with the same name. With all of these variables, we can't say what the "similar" incident was. It's too bad that the series didn't last long enough for us to find out. Val42 05:16, 25 July 2006 (UTC)
I disagree that the series takes place ten years after the original movie. How could it? The world was destroyed shortly after (Within a few months) Taylor's arrival by the Alpha/Omega Bomb. The series takes place in 3085 while the first two movies happened in 3955. By this fact alone, the series takes place nearly a thousand years befor the movies. Somewhere in this thousand year period, Humanity lost the power of speech. The Zaius from the series and the movies are similar characters but not intended to be the same being. The astronauts that Zaius refers to in the series are a group of people who landed ten years prior to the series and were killed by Urko. The identity of these astronauts has not been recorded. So, the space program has lost four space expeditions. 1. Taylor and his crew. 2. Brent and his crew. 3. Burke and Virdon. 4. The unnamed astronauts who landed prior to the series. Another point that needs to be made on the separation between the time periods of the movies and the series is that the ape society in the movie was on the East coast of North America. The series was clearly set in Southern California.(Bijou88 20:14, 3 August 2006 (UTC))
The similar incident is just another ship with humans crashing. We assume the humans were killed. That's the only mention of it. It's not suppose to be anything from the movies. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.180.38.41 (talk) 10:06, 12 December 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Virdon and Burke Fate
From the excellent site:http://potatv.kassidyrae.com/galenslastappearance.html <Galen puts the finishing touches to the model he’s been making> And there you have it. And there YOU have it. Virdon and Burke? Oh, well, they found their computer in another city and disappeared into space as suddenly as they’d arrived. What about me? I certainly could have gone with them - back to your time, your world, er, where apes are kept in zoos. Tell me now, would you have come to my world, willingly? Hmm? <The shot changes to show Galen winding up a clockwork chimp> You will, eventually… of course. It’s only… a matter… of time. <Fade on a shot of a clapping human doll> —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 207.161.47.105 (talk) 17:00, 6 April 2007 (UTC).
