re: #226 Thanos

Planet of the Apes has always been one of my favorites too. You’re right it is quite pro evolution, but it was also very political and explicit about race issues. Rod Serling was the creative force behind it, and for me that’s enough to give it a green light. I will always extol his virtues. A progressive voice who was also incredibly creative. His plot-lines of the Twilight Zone were, as often as not, very political, but with Martians obscuring the political content. Brilliant! There’s a great interview he did with Mike Wallace about that. I’ll see if youtube might have it.
