#pota 1974

[matsui-sinclair]

hello fellow ape-heads today i bring you a humble offering of all the episodes of the short-lived 1974 planet of the apes tv show all on a google drive for free :)

the series is about two astronauts, peter and alan, who accidentally travel forward in time to the 3080s (about 900ish years before the first movie) and befriend a friendly ape named galen (played by roddy mcdowall). the episodes follow the three of them as they travel across future california, running from the gorilla cop urko as he chases them down for upsetting the natural order of ape society.

all these episodes are already up on archive.org but i don't know about anyone else but that website is sooo slow for me so i just went and downloaded all the episodes. but then my laptop didn't have enough space so i moved them to a hard drive and it got tedious for me to reconnect it every time i wanted to rewatch an episode, so i just thought for ease of access i'd upload them to a google drive, and i figured other people would probably be interested in watching so here you go!!

i first heard about this show because the youtube channel ape nation is currently going through each of the episodes so if you want you can watch along with his weekly reviews!

i absolutely love this show so much and i never see anyone talk about it on here so hopefully this means people can watch it and i won't be alone in my appreciation for it anymore 😭😭

so go forth and enjoy the glory of the 1974 pota tv show!!

I’ve been thinking about horror movies a lot recently so I’m gonna assign my muses a favorite scary movie!

The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (1974)

Pota loves scary movies and this one checks a lot of boxes for him; a sympathetic villian, it’s a slasher movie, and memorable kills to name a few

Us

16 isn’t a fan of the gore and nudity that comes with most horror movies so he is very picky with them, this one has a decent bit of gore but the atmosphere makes it a favorite fore him as well as the unsettling story being told.

Scream (1996)

A slasher drama? Count them in! No.t 16 is in it to watch fiends turn on each other and fear everyone they know.

The Descent

She likes monster movies and she appreciates the all-woman cast, those and the plot make it a great movie to her.

Child’s Play (1988)

There isn’t really much to say here, he just loves campy horror movies and a foulmouthed doll possessed by a serial killer is Kurn’s pick.

Saw (2004)

Bad people being punished through pain and suffering all while the actual severity of what they have done is being judged by a single man. Muller likes the concept of the game and that some of it’s player’s objectively don’t deserve it, also the complexity of the traps.

The Belko Experiment

There is something so interesting to him about how quickly humans will turn on each other, especially when everyone’s life is at stake. Perfect 16 also finds it fascinating how humans will preform such strange experiments on others.

The Taking of Deborah Logan

21 likes it because it blends an actual condition with supernatural elements, it isn’t demonizing the illness but instead creating a scenario to make a more conventionally frighting narrative.

The Mist

He also just likes monster movies but this implements characteristics of cosmic horror, he finds the cast interesting and the ending to be a really good emotional twist.

this is sooo nothing but in relation to my tags on that post about sexism in pota where i brought up the 1974 tv show and was like 'there's an episode where galen's dad accepts his gay son!!' i rewatched the episode and idk what tf i was thinking bc that is Not the metaphor. it's so clearly about racism, interracial relationships and segregation (like the series (and the franchise) has always put front and center) and genuinely idk how i could've missed that. galen's dad is mad that his son, who he thinks is a fine upstanding citizen and otherwise completely loves him, is willingly friends with humans & thinks that they have no place interacting with him. i think i must've watched it like right after i found out roddy mcdowall was gay so that was on the mind but you have to be looking right past the Obvious Allegory to even get to that point

Watching all the deleted scenes from KoTPoTA and having just watched the 1974 PoTA series, I almost wish we could have had a full TV series of Kingdom's world with glimpses into everything, and stories from POVs from everyone? I want so desperately to explore this world, 300 years into the future. I wanted to see so much more of what happened, how Proximus came to be who he is and build his empire, to see more from the Eagle Clan's perspectives. The world is so rich and beautiful and harrowing and I crave so much more of it.
