“Lieutenant Thomas Dodge serves as head science officer. At the relatively young age of 35, Lieutenant Dodge exhibits the vision of a man with twice his years. He admits yearning to find intelligent life at the crew’s ultimate destination. A dream he has often discussed as professor of organic chemistry at Annapolis.” —‘ANSA Public Service Announcement,’ Blu-Ray Planet of the Apes Box-Set from November, 2008″
