ESCAPE FROM THE PLANET OF THE APES

Release Date: May 21, 1971 Director: Don Taylor

As an archaeologist, I had access to history scrolls which were kept secret from the masses. And I suspect that the weapon which destroyed Earth was man's own invention. I do know this. One of the reasons for man's original downfall was your peculiar habit of murdering one another. Man destroys man. Apes do not destroy apes.

Superstition (The Witch, 1982)

"Now, the Reverend Leahy has problems of his own to deal with. I wouldn't want your son to become another one. Will you please speak to him?"

"He is already lost to me. It took my husband, too. He will try to help her, protect her, and protect you too, until she no longer needs him."

"Who?"

"You'll see."

Moonshine County Express (1977) Dir. Gus Trikonis

Today in the Department of Before They Were Star Trek Stars, Leonard Nimoy guest stars in "A Quality of Mercy," episode 15 of the third season of The Twilight Zone (original air date December 29, 1961). Nimoy plays the radio operator of a U.S. Infantry unit in the Philippines, in the final days of WWII.

The unit is put under the command of an inexperienced, glory-hungry young Lieutenant (Dean Stockwell) who wants to take them on a pointless, dangerous raid while there's still time to make a name for himself. Instead, he finds himself transported, Quantum Leap-style, into the body of a Japanese officer. When he comes back to his own body, his newfound sense of perspective leads him to call off the raid just before they get the news from Hiroshima.
