Film: Star Trek V: The Final Frontier
"The Enterprise is back. This time, have they gone too far?"
— The film's tagline.
"Why are seat belts being installed in movie theatres this summer?"Star Trek V: The Final Frontier is the fifth movie in the Star Trek film series, released in 1989.They've stared at V'Ger, defeated Khan, found Spock and saved the whales. But can the Enterprise crew survive their greatest challenge yet? William Shatner! ... In! ... The director's seat!With a brand-new Enterprise, Kirk and crew set out to resolve a hostage situation only to discover that they've been suckered as part of a grander scheme. Who's behind it? Why Spock's long-lost half-brother Sybok, of course! Sybok commandeers the Enterprise, winning over most of the crew by using his telepathic epiphany therapy on them. Failing to realize that there is No Such Thing as Space Jesus, Sybok makes them set a course for the center of the galaxy, where he believes God is waiting. With the bulk of his crew now working against him, Kirk must John McClane his way up the Enterprise armed with his wits, a pair of rocket boots... and Trek's very first fart joke.Now it should be noted the movie's failings aren't all Shatner's fault. We can also thank Executive Meddling for all the forced "humor" and the 1988 WGA strike for short-circuiting the screenwriting, and the infamous Special Effect Failure was due to ILM being too busy with a few other projects to work on the film.Still, the basic concept was Shatner's idea (Although making Sybok Spock's brother was a Harve Bennett decision), and he knew about the studio's humor requirements before he even began work. Gene Roddenberry himself had expressed strong reservations about the pitch; he had good reason to be concerned, as he had previously written his own story about the crew meeting God and hated the result. (Though it should also be noted that Roddenberry's own counteroffered idea was, as it had been since the second movie, for the Enterprise crew to go back in time and either stop or commit the JFK assassination.) But Shatner persisted with the idea of Kirk coming up against God and winning. Star Trek and religious topics have always been uneasy bedfellows; Deep Space Nine is the only series to pull it off, and Trekkies are divided on even that. Nevertheless, fans prefer to ignore this entry entirely and simply go from the fourth movie directly to the sixth. Frontier is also the only one of the original films to have never been given a Director's Cut; Shatner has always wanted to do it, but Paramount refuses to let him.This movie isn't a total write-off, though: Star Trek V also features plenty of Character Development scenes between Kirk, Spock, and McCoy (the book ends with the three camping are quite enjoyable), an absolutely brilliant backstory scene involving McCoy and his father, and has a collection of well imagined individual sequences such as Coming In Hot with a shuttlecraft; general consensus is that while Shatner's storytelling abilities might be a bit on the weak side, he certainly had an eye for good setpieces.
— Paramount teaser ad intended to refer to the movie's fast pace, not to being strapped in and forced to watch the flick.
Tropes seen in The Final Frontier include:
- Agent Mulder & Agent Scully: Sybok and Kirk, respectively. McCoy goes from Scully to Mulder when they meet "God" and back to Scully when "God" starts being a dick.
- The Alcatraz: Spock proclaims the brig to be escape-proof. As in all things, however, rare is the Alcatraz that can stop escape attempts from both ends.
- All There in the Manual: The novelization by J.M. Dillard does a lot to redeem the movie's Idiot Plot, adding considerable backstory to Sybok and his mother, and explaining that "God" had telepathically sent Sybok a formula for configuring a starship's deflector shields to penetrate the Barrier. After Sybok orders Scotty to set up the Enterprise's shields in this way, Klaa's Bird-of-Prey copies the same shield configuration in order to follow the Enterprise.
- The Alleged Ship: The Lemonprise. Kirk is nonplussed by his squeaky chair, dodgy transporters, and the defective Log transcriber (which keeps popping open with ridiculous SPRONNG! noises).
- Amazonian Beauty: Vixis. As Chekov put it: "She has vonderful muscles" (by which he meant gluteus maximus).
- Anti-Villain: Sybok is the villain of the movie, but he really isn't a bad guy, just misguided and a little nutty. Klaa could qualify as well, as he isn't malicious, just bored.
- Armor-Piercing Question: 'What does God need with a starship?' Easily one of the most famous examples of this trope.
- Artists Are Not Architects: In one scene, the Enterprise is shown to have about twice as many decks as it could possibly contain, and they are numbered in reverse order for some reason.
- Somewhat explained in the Alternate Universe Star Trek: Myriad Universes story "The Chimes at Midnight"; Kirk was at one point forced to climb the turbolift-shafts and to count the decks as he passed them, "for they were not labeled on the interior of the shaft, although he noted with annoyance that the designers had elected to number the numerous individual turbolift landing decks—each level having several turbolift stops along its breadth—as he passed a sign misleadingly indicating 'Deck 52.'"
- Ass in Ambassador: Inverted, unusually for Star Trek. St. John Talbot and Korrd are not unreasonable people (just incredibly jaded), and Caithlin Dar is downright nice (a rarity for Romulans, actually...).
- This may be precisely why they are where they are (particularly Korrd, who is both disgraced and disgraceful in his drink): The planet is a dumping ground for anyone in the diplomatic corps of the three powers that the leadership wants to be rid of in a non-permanent way. If they hadn't gotten along, they would have died.
- Attack Pattern Alpha: Played with:Kirk: Stand by to execute Emergency Landing Plan...B.
(confused looks from everyone on the shuttle)
Chekov: What's Emergency Landing Plan B?
Scotty: I don't have a clue.
Kirk: "B," as in..."barricade."
Scotty: He can't be serious!
- Author Appeal: Why approach the hostage situation on horseback? Because Shatner is an avid equestrian.
- Behind the Black: Scotty, after claiming to know the ship like the back of his hand, concusses himself on a bit of bulkhead that sticks out from the wall. Whilst unseen by the audience before impact, Scotty was walking towards the bulkhead and, in fact, was looking right at it when he hit it.
- Beta Couple: St. John Talbot and Caithlin Dar. One Meaningful Background Event has them sadly comforting each other in a loving embrace.
- Big Bad Ensemble: Sybok and Klaa are an unusual example in that Sybok isn't really evil per se, and for the most part Klaa is more of an annoyance than anything else.
- Big Damn Gunship: Spock, commanding a Klingon Bird of Prey, opens fire on "God" in order to rescue Kirk.
- Big Ego, Hidden Depths: Sybok. Cruelly invoked by "God", who takes the form of Sybok and mocks, "What's the matter? Don't you like this face? I have so many, but this one suits you best."
- Book Ends: Camping with the Power Trio.
- Call Back: Kirk states in the opening that men like himself, Bones and Spock had no families. He later admits he was wrong.
- His premonition that he'll die alone (and is therefore safe while Spock and McCoy are there) is also mentioned again.
- Calling Your Attacks: SHOOT HIM!!!
- Cannot Tell a Lie: What Spock claims as proof that Kirk was not aboard the Enterprise. He was lying about not being able to lie, though he was telling the truth about where Kirk was at.
- Canon Discontinuity: It's still technically part of the canon, but the events have never been directly referenced in another canonical Star Trek work again. Rumor has it the writers are specifically told not to as a matter of course. Gene Roddenberry said he considered some elements of the movie apocryphal, but he apparently never told anyone which ones. Ronald D. Moore, who was working on Star Trek: The Next Generation at the time, has said that while the writers of the show accepted the film as canon, they considered it such an embarrassment to the franchise as a whole that they agreed among themselves that they would never reference it on the show, to the extent where the ending of the episode "The Nth Degree" was heavily rewritten simply because they didn't want it to have have anything in common with this film.
- The novels, which are now vetted more thoroughly than they used to be, have featured Sybok exactly twice, both of them in the Myriad Universe novels, which take place entirely in alternate universes.
- The novels have also mentioned the God-like creature at the center of the Great Barrier; in the Q Continuum trilogy of novels, He referred to Himself as "The One", and was a contemporary of 0, the Beta XIII-A entity, and Gorgon. The four of them were responsible for the destruction of the Tkon Empire. It is mentioned that pretending to be God and then using the resulting influence to drive civilizations to self-destruction is his entire schtick. In fact, he was imprisoned in the center of the galaxy by the Q for his crimes, while 0 was punished by being thrown out of the galaxy (which was the reason for the galactic barrier as seen in the 2nd TOS pilot).
- The only real survivor, at least according to the Okudas in the Star Trek Encyclopedia, is Captain Klaa. Who was apparently bumped down for his actions and assigned as a courtroom translator in Star Trek VI. This was due to a coincidence in that the translator was played by Todd Bryant.
- Card-Carrying Villain: All of Klaa's actions are because...he's bored.
- Catch a Falling Star: Spock grabs Kirk by the ankle after he falls off El Capitan without so much as causing him a bruise.
- Cat Folk/Cat Girl: With three breasts. Defeated by Kirk when he throws her into a literal pool table.
- Cerebus Syndrome: The "comedy" disappears and the movie becomes much more serious once they begin their trip to the Great Barrier.
- Chekhov's Gun: Early in the film Spock appears using Jet Boots to fly. Later in the film, when he, Kirk and McCoy need to travel up a long turbolift shaft he dons the same boots and uses them to fly the whole group up to the top of the shaft.
- Chewing the Scenery: In Universe, Chekov seemed to have a little too much fun pretending to be Captain of the Enterprise to distract Sybok while Kirk and Spock are attempting to rescue the hostages.
- Chuck Cunningham Syndrome: Both inverted and possibly played straight. While the obvious inversion is Sybok, who is revealed to be Spock's half-brother, we later have Kirk note he had a brother once, who he lost and was lucky enough to come back, referring to Spock's resurrection. However, the way Kirk says this sounds like he's forgotten he actually did have a brother who was lost, (George Kirk Jr), who was killed back in the classic series.
- Actually, Kirk is telling Spock how he was able to reconcile his brother's death, saying, "Would you like to hear about how I got him back?" The unspoken method: memory and tribute.
- Circle of Standing Stones: The meeting with "God" takes place in a circle of stones that rise up out of the ground as Kirk and company approach.
- Climb, Slip, Hang, Climb: In the rock-climbing scene.
- Comic Book Adaptation: Written by Peter David and published by DC Comics, the adaptation served as a launching point for DC's second Star Trek monthly series.
- Coming In Hot: "Plan B... as in Barricade"
- Continuity Nod: The last line in Star Trek IV was Kirk saying "Let's see what she's ( the Enterprise -A ) got." Scotty's opening log in this movie says as he complains about the shape the new ship is in, "The captain said 'Let's see what she's got', and we found out, now, didn't we!"
- Crapsack World: The Planet of Galactic Peace. As is pointed out by many reviewers (including SF Debris), Nimbus III neatly scuttles Roddenbery's tenets regarding the future: the planet set aside for the mutual cooperation of three races has fallen into anarchy, the technology of the future has turned to rusted crap, and poverty is still rampant.The Agony Booth: Throughout the movie, Nimbus III is referred to periodically as The Planet of Galactic Peace, and every time someone says it, you can actually hear the Quotes of Bitter Contempt. Peace! Ptooey.
- Ironically, one could argue that it succeeded in establishing galactic peace... as the various ambassadors are either too drunk to bother fighting each other or have grown united in their shared hatred for their own governments for assigning them there!
- Creator Cameo: Harve Bennett sends Kirk off to investigate.
- Cultural Rebel: Sybok, who is definitely the most emotional Vulcan we've ever seen.
- Custom Uniform: Each of the Power Trio is given an alternative uniform, which looks not unlike a grey pullover/sweatshirt. Captain Kirk is also seen in a "Captain's Jacket" at one point, underneath which he wears a white t-shirt bearing the slogan "Go Climb A Rock".
- Darker and Edgier: Shatner wanted to depict an edgier future, so we got a desolate city named "Paradise", a barely functioning Enterprise, and the Star Trek Universe's first (but not the last, alas) fart joke. Wow.
- Shatner was also (reportedly) never thrilled with Roddenberry's idea of a perfect future, so he had those elements to show a more "realistic" future.
- Deadpan Snarker: McCoy is running on all cylinders in this film. For instance, he scoffs at Kirk's tirade at Spock being unable to shoot his own brother, and states that if he's that upset, he should toss Spock in the brig (the three of them are already in the brig) - Kirk takes his point.
- Death from Above: Kirk calls down some Close Air Support from the Enterprise in order to try and cover his escape from "God". While a photon torpedo should have been quite a bit more powerful than shown, it was still cool.
- Demoted to Extra: Shatner has hand waved criticisms from his co-stars in the past, dismissing it as actors' egos run amok (there was nothing to nick), but scripting like this doesn't help his case much. Indeed, one section of the commentary has Shatner passive-aggressively blame his co-stars for the movies dodgy appearance ("A disproportionate amount of money is spent on talent as against production...") Not only are the characters in the film betraying Captain Kirk, the actors in the film are sabotaging Bill Shatner. Its worth noting that his original outline for the film had both McCoy and Spock turning against Kirk — which would have left Kirk the only hero of the film.
- Did You Just Punch Out Cthulhu?: Or, in this case, shoot a Sufficiently Advanced Alien posing as deity with a torpedo and then a disruptor cannon. Yes, Spock did.
- Distracted by the Sexy: In-universe, anyway; clearly someone failed to point out viewers might not see it the same. Uhura does her infamous nude fan dance to distract some mooks so that the Starfleet team can capture them and steal their alien horses. (It was in the dark, and they spotted her from a distance, so it could be excusable in that context. Also, there is an apparent lack of women on the planet which certainly helps.)
- Don't Call Me Captain: During the camping trip, Kirk asks Spock to call him Jim, reminding him that they're off duty.
- Eldritch Abomination: It's never explicitly stated just what exactly the "God" is, but it's clearly an example of this trope.
- Epiphany Therapy
- Everyone Knows Morse: Justified, as Starfleet is one part military, and Morse Code could be part of their training.
- Executive Meddling: Paramount forced Shatner to up the film's comedy quotient due to the previous film's success in that area. This results in severe Mood Whiplash between a grand, epic story about the search for God and slapstick farce.
- Eye Beams: After Captain Kirk and Spock question the authenticity of "God", he fires beams of energy out of his eyes at them. He does it again while pursuing Kirk later on.
- Fake Static: Done twice, once for laughs when Chekov pretends that there is a blizzard to avoid admitting he's lost, and once for drama when the Enterprise broadcasts static to delay talking to Sybok.
- False Innocence Trick: The Enterprise passes through the barrier around the heart of the galaxy and finds the legendary planet Sha Ka Ree, believed to be the home of God. When the protagonists find God he's apparently imprisoned there, and tries to trick them into helping him escape. A subversion, because Kirk figures out there's something funny going on and manages to get "God" to reveal his true evil nature before he gets away.
- Famous, Famous, Fictional: Sybok tries to spin his quest to Kirk as another attempt to do the impossible among the many Earth has achieved, such as proving the world is round (incorrectly credited to Columbus), breaking the sound barrier, and flying at warp speed.
- Fan Disservice: 57 year old Nichelle Nichols doing a nude fan dance. And bizarrely, all evidence is that Shatner genuinely thought this would be plain old Fanservice.
- Freeze-Frame Bonus: When Sybok's forces break into Paradise City, you can see that someone has painted "LOST" next to "PARADISE".
- Fridge Logic: Invoked in-universe when Kirk asks, "What does God need with a starship?"
- Getting Crap Past the Radar: Literally, and proving that the Enterprise DOES have toilets. Just before Scotty's jailbreak, look at the stencil on the "chair" Kirk is sitting on. "WARNING: DO NOT USE WHILE IN SPACEDOCK".
- Getting Smilies Painted on Your Soul: Sybok's telepathy, which makes everyone he "treats" euphoric and immediately ready to join his cause.
- A God Am I: "One voice, many faces."
- God Is Evil: Well, it's not really our God as we know him but it's certainly evil.
- God Test
- Glowing Eyes of Doom
- Heroic Sacrifice: Sybok, when he tries to mind meld with "God" so Kirk, Spock and McCoy can escape.
- Hero of Another Story: St. John Talbot, Caithlin Dar, and even Sybok, as Roger Ebert points out in his review.Another irritation is the way in which we meet apparently major characters [...] who are introduced with fanfares of dialogue and then never developed or given anything to do. The entire movie seems crowded with loose ends, overlooked developments and forgotten characters, and there are little snatches of dialogue where some of these minor characters seem to be soldiering on in their original subplots as if unaware that they've been cut from the movie.
- Hollywood Tone-Deaf: Of the three schlubs failing to sing "Row, Row, Row Your Boat" in sync, Kelley's singing got him into acting, Nimoy recorded a few albums, and... oh. Well, okay, one of them has an excuse. At least Spock is in tune.
- It's a round of "Row, Row, Row Your Boat". You're supposed to stagger the lyrics from singer to singer.
- Horse With A Plastic Horn Glued To Its Face
- Hurricane of Puns: "I do not believe you realize the gravity of your situation," "I've always wanted to play to a captive audience," etc.
- I Have Many Names: As the alien claims "One voice, many faces". The planet is supposedly a location common to all mythologies as well.
- Inventional Wisdom: The "System Failure" light on Kirk's logbook.
- It's All My Fault: Invoked verbatim by Sybok, leading to his Heroic Sacrifice.
- Jet Boots
- Kick the Dog: Klaa shoots down Earth's first deep space probe. Although, considering what happened with Voyager 6, Nomad, Friendship One, etc...it could be argued that he was performing a public service to the galaxy!
- Kill Him Already: Kirk pulls this on Spock with Sybok, until he finds out that the two are half-brothers.
- Know When to Fold 'Em: Surprisingly enough, after failing repeatedly to regain control of the ship, and having already arrived where Sybok was taking them anyway, Kirk basically gives up, and willingly assists him in the last stage of his plan, taking him down to the surface of "Eden".
- The Last Title: The second part of the title.
- Living Prop: The Space Marines during the rescue attempt.
- Long-Lost Relative: Sybok.
- Low Clearance:Scotty: I know this ship like the back of my hand. *bangs his head*
- Man Hug: Subverted. After Spock saves him from a Sufficiently Advanced Alien, Kirk is about to hug him when Spock says quietly, "Please, Captain, not in front of the Klingons."
- Mercy Kill: Bones relives one of his most painful moments, where his father is dying and suffering from an incurable disease. He begs Bones to stop treatment so that he can finally die. Bones does so, and mere months later a cure for his father's disease was discovered.
- Minor Crime Reveals Major Plot: A routine hostage situation turns out to be an attempt to hijack a starship.
- Mood Whiplash: Executive Meddling insisted that the film include more comedy after that worked so well in the previous film. Unfortunately, the story here is rather less appropriate for it, resulting in the mood careening wildly between Big Important Events and broad slapstick.
- More Than Mind Control: Anyone who is "helped" by Sybok tends to follow him around like a puppet.
- Multiboobage: The Cat Dancer.
- Mythology Gag: The shuttle's name Galileo as well the script it is written by on the ship.
- Nobody Poops: Averted, at very least whenever the Enterprise is not in spacedock.
- No One Gets Left Behind: Kirk orders McCoy and Spock to beam out first when the transporter conveniently can only beam up two at a time. McCoy calls BS on this mid-beam.
- The Nose Knows: In the turbolift as Kirk and crew return from their camping trip.Kirk: I could use a shower.
Spock: Yes.
- No Sell: When Sybok tries to take away Spock's pain, Spock calmly explains that he has already dealt with that pain, so Sybok cannot use it against him. Kirk just outright refuses, while Bones holds greater loyalty to his friends than Sybok even after Sybok does it to him.
- No Such Thing as Space Jesus
- Not So Different: For all his talk of rejecting the Vulcan way, Sybok essentially brainwashes people into suppressing their traumatic memories, denying them the chance to deal with their pain. Overall, how this any different than Vulcans suppressing their emotions?!
- On the contrary, he forces people to bring old pain they've repressed out into the open. "By making you face your pain and draw strength from it. Once that's done, fear cannot stop you." It's no wonder the Vulcans exiled him; on a planet full of Tuvoks, he must have been like a Neelix running around trying to get everyone to emote.
- Not the Fall That Kills You: Kirk falls several thousand feet down El Capitan only to be caught by Spock about a foot away from the ground. Cue to Kirk humorously trying to shield himself with his hands against the rocks that are mere inches below him.
- Oh Crap!:
- The morse scene:"Stand back?" *beat* "Stand back!" *BOOM*
- The morse scene:
- The Only One: A twofer. As well as Kirk being supposedly the best person to send in for hostage negotiations, the Enterprise is apparently the only ship available to take him to Paradise. That's despite Kirk starting on Earth, home of one of Star Fleet's largest bases, and Enterprise's construction not actually being finished.
- Path of Inspiration: Sybok's offer of internal peace.
- Pillar of Light: How "God" first appears.
- Plot-Induced Stupidity:
- Sending a barely functioning, untested ship with "less than a skeleton crew" into a hostage situation when it doesn't even have functioning transporters. This is so the Enterprise-A doesn't simply beam up the hostages and end the movie in five minutes. A hand wave was attempted by saying there were other ships around, but only Kirk had the experience. By that logic, they could have just sent a working ship to meet Kirk. Starfleet could have simply assumed, that a hostage situation wouldn't need a fully functioning ship but as the admiral giving the assignment admits, Klingons are likely to send their men too and they consider Kirk their mortal enemy and as it turns out, Klaa is going there solely so he can start a fight with a Federation ship. Even Kirk thinks the reasoning is bullshit.
- Likewise, Sybok's plan to get a starship. It wouldn't have worked at all if not for Starfleet's incompetence. This one can be excused by his limited options: Sybok and everyone else is stuck on Nimbus III. There are no ships and only a few settlements. It's likely that he'd been living on the planet for some time (given he's a Technical Pacifist, he probably went there when it was first made into a "neutral planet" that was supposed to bring the Romulans, the Klingons and the Federation together), and he only started having his visions from "God" after he was already stuck there. So getting off the planet would be just as tricky as getting an advanced ship, so he might as well kill two birds with one stone.
- The Pollyanna: You just get that vibe from Caithlin Dar. She's young, sweet natured, and extremely naive. She contrasts her Human and Klingon counterparts, who are older, more cynical and really stopped giving a damn.
- The Power of Friendship: McCoy refuses to desert Kirk even though he's been brainwashed by Sybok. Likewise for Spock, who just flat-out rejects the attempt.
- Power Trio: Kirk, Spock, and McCoy, obviously. Notable as, while an important part of all of the movies and the show, this movie focuses on them as a trio more than any of the other movies.
- Pragmatic Adaptation: The comic book cuts a number of the more embarrassing moments from the storyline.
- Precision F-Strike: One of the only times that Spock gets genuinely angry(even if only momentarily), and also goes to show the depth of his feelings toward Kirk.Spock: General, I require your assistance.
General Korrd: My assistance?
Spock: You are his superior officer.
Korrd: I am a...foolish old man.
Spock: Damn you, sir; you will try.
- McCoy on his greatest pain: "Not long after, they found a cure. A goddamn cure!"
- Pulled From Your Day Off: The opening has the main characters called back from their vacation in order to deal with a hostage situation on another planet.
- Reassigned to Antarctica: The three ambassadors on Nimbus III (the reasons are noted in the novelization).
- Redemption Equals Death: Sybok's remaining lifespan goes down to about 15 seconds once he realizes the error of his ways.
- Renegade Klingon: Captain Klaa. He decides to go Nimbus III not to save the hostages, but to fight the rescue ship the Federation is sending. When he learns it's Kirk being sent, it only makes him more eager to attack. It's only when General Koord steps in that Klaa apologizes for his unauthorized aggression.
- Retcon: At the end of the previous film, the Enterprise-A is bright and clean and in 100% working order. When he see her in this one, she's falling apart and most of the systems are barely functioning or offline, and the implication is that immediately after we see her warp away she just turned to garbage.
- Rushed Into Service: The Enterprise-A is sent into action despite being barely operational to investigate a Hostage Situation.
- Scifi Writers Have No Sense Of Scale: At least they didn't go with Shatner's original idea of going to the center of the universe.
- Screwed by the Studio: Retroactively. While all the other TOS-era films were given "Directors Cut" reedits and re-releases, any of which allowed the directors to make improvements, William Shatner was famously denied the opportunity to put right this film with a Director's Cut, even though of all six original films, it was the one that needed fixing the most.
- Scotty Time: Inverted. When Kirk beams up to an Enterprise falling apart, Scotty says "You may have given me too much time, Captain."
- Sealed Evil in a Can: "God". He claimed to have been imprisoned on the planet in the center of the galaxy and wanted to "join" with the Enterprise so he could escape.
- Shout-Out: One of the names of the planet where they find "God", Sha Kaa Ree, comes from Sean Connery's name. It's also a Development Gag (see What Could Have Been).
- Show Some Leg: Uhura doing the previously mentioned fan dance.
- Sliding Scale of Idealism Versus Cynicism: As some pointed out, "Star Trek as a franchise had, up to this point, been entirely devoted to an optimistic future of interplanetary peace, technological advancement, and human brotherhood. Star Trek V, on the other hand, is a deeply cynical movie," with the Crapsack World on which it begins, the unreliable technology and the phony God that emerges at the ending as examples of this.
- Space Marine: A squad is seen on the shuttle. They do nothing and say nothing.
- Stealth Pun: During the infamous Cat Girl bar scene, a Klingon, a Romulan and a Human walk into a bar....
- Stock Footage: See above.
- Stuff Blowing Up: A real-life example, not just in the movie. Because they were filming during a union strike, one of the production's trucks "mysteriously" blew up.
- Stupid Statement Dance Mix: From the DVD bonus features — "Captain Kirk is climbing the mountain, why is he climbing the mountain?"
- Sufficiently Advanced Alien: The being they meet on the other side of the barrier.
- That Was Not A Dream: "I dreamt that a madman had taken over the Enterprise!"
- "They Don't Make Them Like They Used To," Scotty says of Enterprise-A.
- Time for Plan B
- Traveling at the Speed of Plot: We're told that no ship can survive the journey through the barrier, which lies at the center of the universe. Not that the laws of physics apply to ships with awesome names, like ''Enterprise'.
- True Companions: Kirk, Spock, and McCoy, are this, naturally, but the movie takes it Up to Eleven. A redeeming quality of the movie is the focus on this trope, and the bond between these three.McCoy: I thought you said men like us didn't have families.
Kirk: Maybe I was wrong.
- Understatement: "I imagine the Klingons will be quite angry." Pointed out as such by Chekov, who estimates that they will be irritated enough to level the whole planet.
- Undying Loyalty: Even after McCoy has been hit with Sybok's pain removal technique, he refuses to part ways with Kirk and Spock when they refuse to go along with Sybok's plan.
- Unresolved Sexual Tension: Implied to be between Uhura and Scotty.
- Villainous Breakdown: After having been blasted with a photon torpedo, "God" come out of it as this rather goofy distorted face exclaiming "YOOOOOUUUUU!" while floating after Kirk. This is because the ending had to be radically changed, and they couldn't afford to get the actor back to record any new material.
- Well-Intentioned Extremist: Probably the saddest thing about Sybok is that he's sincere. He honestly wants to help people, he honestly wants to do good, and he actually stands up to what he believes is God to demand to know why his "friends" are being hurt. He also avoids taking lives if possible, and (in his own estimation) helps others by making them confront their pain. And while he is endangering lives, he isn't aware of that, and tries to minimize damage where he can.
- Wide-Eyed Idealist: Caithlin Dar actually wants to realize the dream of the Planet of Galactic Peace. A year or two there probably would have left her as jaded as her counterparts.
- Watch It for the Meme: Sybok's 'I couldn't help but notice your pain' (said when he encounters 'God') found its way into a 2Pac song.
- What Could Have Been: Sean Connery was originally approached to play Sybok. He declined, but as a Development Gag the planet Sha-Ka-Ree was named in his honor.
- Wretched Hive: Nimbus III is a godawful hellhole.
- What the Hell, Hero?: McCoy, of all people defends Spock when Kirk bawls him out for not shooting Sybok. This, of course, comes after he jokingly offers to "hold him" when Kirk threatens to knock him on his ass.
- Worthy Opponent: Klaa feels this way about Kirk, since of course Kirk's battles with the Klingon Empire are legendary. He's not even vindictive about it, more excited at facing off against such a foe. When Kirk outsmarts him by getting the shuttle into the Enterprise and then it going to warp right under Klaa's nose, after giving the order to track the ship, a wide-eyed Klaa murmurs "He's good."
- You Are Not Alone: During the campfire scene, Kirk tells Spock and Mc Coy that he knows he'll die alone, leading to the following heartwarming moment near the end of the film.Kirk: Spock? I thought I was going to die.Spock: Not possible. You were never alone.
- You Look Familiar: David Warner, again.
- Also Charles Cooper, who would return in Star Trek: The Next Generation as a much more dignified Klingon: Chancellor K'mpec.
- You're Insane!: Kirk tells this to Sybok, who replies "Am I?", apparently genuinely considering it.
- You Wouldn't Shoot Me: Spock holds Sybok at gunpoint once they reach the Enterprise, but Sybok refuses to surrender, instead just walking up and taking the gun. He does admit to being worried that Spock might actually have done it, though.

If you were handing out superlatives for Minneapolis Mexican restaurants, Little Tijuana's might win "Most Nocturnal." Since 1964, the staff here has specialized in serving sizzling Mexican classics until well past midnight. However, "Most Nocturnal" isn't the only title this spot deserves—the Mexican mainstay might also be one of the best restaurants in Minneapolis, depending on how you feel about burritos. Below, we rounded up 10 reasons why you should visit. 1. It's open until 2 a.m., 365 days a year (and 366 days a leap year). You have no good reason to ever stop eating tacos.2. If you're ordering tacos here, you have 32 options. Hard or soft shell? Flour or corn tortillas? Once you get past the simple binaries, you also have to choose from eight fillings, which run the gamut from deep-fried fish to shredded pork. 3. The bartenders can make your drink fruity, salty, or simple. The margaritas come in salt-rimmed and fruity varieties, but no pressure. There are also daiquiris and classic cans of Tecate.4. The cooks don't shy away from American food. Instead, they serve 14 styles of juicy, charbroiled burgers. Our favorites include the mushroom swiss burger and the marinara-smothered pizza burger, both of which come with heaping sides of waffle fries. 5. They're flexible about Mexican food, too. The chefs recently added steak to the menu at diners' request.6. It's kid-friendly. Kids can create crayon art on butcher paper during dinner, and chow down on kid-size sundaes for dessert.7. It's Dirty Dancing fan-friendly. A pop-art-style mural of Patrick Swayze, the world's most fatherly dancer, adorns one wall. 8. A real(ly quirky) person runs their Facebook page. Trust us, it's worth a like. Not only does this person have encyclopedic knowledge of taco and nacho puns, but they also once wrote the phrase, "Come help us father a margarita!!!!" We need to shake this person's hand.9. You can watch some great TV there. The house televisions show the most buzz-worthy basketball games, but staffers knows that not every compelling TV drama involves 7-foot-tall men and dunk-centric conflicts. That's why they also show cult hits like Archer and RuPaul's Drag Race. 10. There's a chocolate chimichanga. That's a chocolate bar wrapped in two flour tortillas, deep fried, and topped with vanilla ice cream drizzled in caramel sauce. If they're looking for a new name for the dish, we suggest "candy bar, chimichanga, and ice-cream sundae, all at once, no, seriously."Read More

This wiring kit does not include speaker wire or patch cables. You will need to purchase those separately, in order to complete your amplifier installation.
Your amps need power wires large enough to supply the high current and constant voltage necessary to deliver top performance in your sound system. Kicker's 09PKD1 dual amp power wiring kit supplies just about everything you'll need to send power to two amplifiers with combined fuse ratings of up to 300 amperes. Kicker makes the cables from oxygen free copper wire so you can count on maximum power transfer. Multi-channel distribution blocks make it convenient to also run power to system accessories such as digital signal processors, equalizers, and capacitors.
Easy to connect and run
Pros: comes with multi amp setup
Cons: Would like speaker wire to be included in kit
Nice kit. Looks professional and helped me do the job right.
Pros: Had all the pieces required to hook up a high powered system
Cons: Make sure you use good quality wire cutters or you have difficulty feed the stripped wire into the fuse block.
P-Series Power Kits: This Kicker P-Series AMP Power Kit utilizes direct-connect installation components to transfer the highest current possible with the fewest connections, giving you an ultra-clean and super-reliable car-audio system. This kit is designed for installing two amplifiers.
Dual Amplifier 4-AWG Kit: This kit includes the following:
Hyper-Flex Power Cable: The power and ground cables feature a Hyper-Flex jacket for easy installation.
Silver Tinned OFC Copper: The 4-gauge power and ground cables are constructed of silver-tinned OFC copper with 1862 individual strands, while the 1/0-gauge cables have 4704 individual strands for reliable current flow.
At Crutchfield, you'll get detailed, accurate information that's hard to find elsewhere. That's because we have our own in-house Product Research team. They verify what's in the box, check the owner's manual, and record dimensions, features and specs. We stay on top of new products and technologies to help people make informed choices.
Top-quality power wire is an essential part of getting the best performance out of your amplifier. Check out this demonstration of Kicker oxygen-free power wire at the Kicker booth at CES 2014, and...

Despite the ceaseless rumors since news hit last weekend that Disney was planning a new Star Wars trilogy after their acquisition of Lucasfilm, at one point or another, the studio will actually have decide on talent if they want to get the film into theaters by 2015. We've now got an update on who may actually be stepping behind the camera for the first film in this new trilogy.
After successfully giving X-Men new life with his prequel First Class, we got word recently that Kick-Ass helmer Matthew Vaughn was handing over directing reigns on the sequels, Days of Future Past to producer Bryan Singer. Some thought this was so he could re-team with Mark Millar for the comic-book adaptation of Secret Service, but now a bigger picture is beginning to unfold. Collider has picked up the rumor that Vaughn has begun talks with Lucasfilm to direct Star Wars: Episode VII, a direct reason why he departed the X-Men sequel at the last minute. Considering this is in the very early stages, there's no word if he (or any director) would be signed on to the full trilogy but the name does correspond with some other shortlists.
However, MarketSaw recently reported that Vaughn, along with Steven Spielberg, Neil Blomkamp, Alfonso Cuarón, Darren Aronofsky and even Joss Whedon were all being looked at for the gig. With Whedon being tied up with The Avengers 2, set for the same summer, Aronofsky busy with Noah, and Spielberg likely giving Lucasfilm not as much creative control as they'd like, the other helmers all seem like a strong fit. Vaughn has been known to deliver under pressure and I could see him crafting something to the studio's liking, but for now we'll have to wait for confirmation on this one.
Would you like to see Vaughn direct the next Star Wars?

Nazdar announces Versacon Classic V5000, the newest addition to Nazdar's ink lines for the container printing market. Versacon Classic V5000 is a two-part solvent-based ink with excellent chemical resistance for treated polyethylene and polypropylene containers.
"Solvent-based inks continue to be prevalent in small to medium size print shops where the capital investment of UV equipment is prohibitive," according to Phil McGugan, vice president of global sales and marketing for Nazdar. "As Nazdar continues to expand into the global market for screen printing inks, the need for a very stable, solvent-based ink for container printing is apparent."

I'm still testing out Paul Mitchell Curls products and have been using the Full Circle Leave-in Treatment for a few weeks. I use it when I give the curls a wash, but I am finding myself using it as a daily detangler. I comb through my curls every day and need something to help the comb ease through the tightness. I spritz my hair with water and then apply this lovely treatment. I have to add product to define the curl, but this product doesn't way my hair down. It is lightweight and super moisturizing. I have become such a hair product junkie that my bin is overflowing, but this is the one product that stays in the bathroom. I'm hooked and love it that much.

Let's Talk About My (Straight) Hair
Let's talk about hair baby,
Let's talk about you and me,
Let's talk about all the good things and the bad things that may be,
Let's talk about hair.
It's fall baby and whether I like it or not I have to get with the program. I have decided that I am going to go straight a few times a month because (1) I am running again and want my hair to be easy (half-marathon in January), (2) I am obsessed with buns. It doesn't matter if it's tiny or small I'm hooked, and (3) it is time to do something a little different. But, I hate doing my hair. It is so much work. I am going to embrace it and go with it. I could pay somebody, but why.
I have this great ghd Limited-Edition Peacock Flat Iron to help me along the straight hair – no chaser road. I started last week and I am hooked on this flat iron. I like that the cord is super long, it has a heat resistant case which is great for traveling, and the deep purple color makes me smile. I am slowly mastering the blow-dry/flat iron combo again and it isn't so bad. I just need to stick with it. A messy bun awaits me for fall.
Paul Mitchell Transforms My Curls
I didn't think there could ever be a Paul Mitchell product I liked better than the Foaming Pomade. The foaming pomade is the stuff of legends. That thought was before I tested Paul Mitchell's new Curls Collection. The collection is everything my curls have been needing in their beach lifestyle. The Full-Circle Leave-in Treatment adds lot of moisture to my dry sun damaged hair and it helps define the curl. I then add the Beachy Texture Cream Gel for definition and voila curls, curls, curls for days.
I am currently in Hawaii and happy to know that these products will give my hair the sustenance they need upon my return. For all my curly girls if you have a curl confession for Paul Mitchell head over to the Truth About Curls and unleash your curl dragon.
Beautiful Textures Tangle Taming Leave-in Conditioner
I first heard about Beautiful Textures from my friend Nicole Marie. She mentioned that she loved it and couldn't get enough of it. The first thing I did was head to Sally Beauty and pick up my own bottle. Guess what? Nicole Marie was right! I came home immediately and put it to good use. This is one of the best leave-in conditioners I have ever used. It's that good. I even called the "potion lady" and told her to get some stat. I am debating taking the entire bottle to Hawaii on my beach getaway later this month, but I don't plan on checking a bag. Beauty girl dilemmas I know. As always when I'm in any beauty store I picked up some other hair goodies that I can't wait to review.
Evening with EDEN: A Summer Hair Affair
A few weeks back I was on a panel regarding summer hair with EDEN Bodyworks. The evening was co-hosted by my girl Mischo Beauty and including Tia Williams of Shake Your Beauty (my beauty godmother), Shirley Gordon of Strands Hair Studios and EDEN's Vice President of Marketing Ylorie Anderson. I had just gotten back from Jamaica and I was ready to talk hair. The key is good hair = healthy hair.
My main hair motto for summer is "city hair is not beach hair." This means let go of the flat irons, tons of styling aids, and be free. You can't have city hair at the beach and why would you want too. You have to condition your hair before getting in the pool or going to the beach. Cowash back in your room and deep condition once you get back.
When I first saw Shirley walk in I was like "this woman is going to color my hair for the summer." I have never said that. But I could tell she was a master colorist and would keep my hair healthy and beautiful. I can't wait to see her magic for myself. I also was told I need a hair steamer. That's on the list for later this month.
Here are a few takeaways from the event.
- No mineral oil ever. In my Joan Collins Mommy Dearest voice.
- Deep condition, deep condition, deep condition. I can't say enough about deep conditioning. This should be done year round and weekly.
- Hair sunscreen. Yes, they make sunscreen for you hair. Find some, use it diligently, and be on your way.
- Condition before you shampoo. I can see your eyes glazing over on this one. Seriously, try it. I tested it with the EDEN BodyWorks JojOba Monoi collection and I am hooked on this method.
- If you color your hair – no clarifying shampoo at all.
- Try a hair regimen for at least 3 weeks before you give up on it. None of this I tried it once and forget about it. Stick with it for a few weeks to give it the full testing it deserves. If it doesn't work after that, let it go.
- What goes in the inside comes out on the outside. Water is your friend. Drink up. Also hair vitamins, biotin, and diet also contribute to your hair.

Organix Extra Strength Penetrating Moroccan Argan Oil
Super dry does not equal super fly when it comes to my strands. For some reason my hair is dry. It probably has something to due with the fact that I have gotten slack on my deep conditioning. That's okay. I have something that will tied me over until I get back on my hair routine. Organix Extra Strength Penetrating Moroccan Argan Oil has come to the resue. I've been applying this to my dry hair before I mist it and style and it makes it feel soft and luxurious. It is able to camouflage the dryness until I can get back to nurturing my strands.
Shea Moisture Reconstructive Elixir
It's amazing the products I discover in my never ending "hair bin." I was doing some beauty cleaning when I stumbled upon Shea Moisture's Reconstructive Elixir which was at the bottom of the bin. I'm trying to stay more organized in all areas of my life, but beauty cleanup is a daily process. I can't believe I forgot how great this product is and why I stopped using it. This is a great product for every day if you prefer a light hair moisturizer. My hair is consistently dry so I'm always looking for oil products that provide my curls the love they need. This elixir contains argan oil which I'm obsessed with it. I can't get enough of this elixir.
Serge Normant Hair Care
Serge Normant you're the one. I didn't really think that Serge Normant Hair Care line would be that good. Sure, he's worked with major celebrities and is known for tending the tresses of Julia Roberts and Sarah Jessica Parker. But, I needed to know if Monsieur Normant's products would work on my natural curls. Serge Normant Hair Care is a luxurious cocktail of products that is perfect for all hair types. The products are sulfate-free and contain Camellia oil to hydrate and moisturize. The Meta Morphosis Hair Repair Treatment is an amazing after-sun treatment and whenever your hair needs a little pick me up.
After using the products I felt like Carrie did in Paris when Big finally told her that she was the one. Monsieur Normant your products are the one. With that being said a little MJB is in order in honor of Monsieur Normant.

U.S. Willing to Discuss Microsoft Settlement
Glanz, William, The Washington Times (Washington, DC)
The head of the federal government's successful antitrust case against Microsoft Corp. said yesterday he is willing to discuss settling with the software giant to avoid a lengthy appeals process.
Meanwhile, the computer giant is seeking a stay both on splitting the company and on changes to its business practices. U.S. District Judge Thomas Penfield Jackson ordered Wednesday that Microsoft be divided in two as punishment for violating the Sherman Antitrust Act.
"I have said and believe that settlement is always the preferred course in this kind of litigation," Assistant Attorney General Joel I. Klein said.
"It's in the interest of the industry, it's in the interest of the company and it's in the national interest to have Microsoft address, in a meaningful way, the competitive issues . . . rather than to have a protracted legal proceeding," said Mr. Klein, head of the Justice Department's antitrust division.
Microsoft attorney William Neukom said during a conference call with reporters on Wednesday the company would consider participating in settlement talks.
"I don't think we ever have or ever would close the door to good-faith negotiations to resolve differences," he said.
Mr. Klein did not say whether he would accept a settlement that fell short of breaking up the company.
If the two sides agree on settlement talks, it would be the second time they sat down to discuss an out-of-court deal.
Justice has not made a formal proposal to Microsoft to renew settlement talks, Microsoft spokesman Jim Cullinan said.
Two weeks after ruling Microsoft was a monopoly, U.S. District Judge Thomas Penfield Jackson appointed Judge Richard Posner, head of the U.S. Court of Appeals in Chicago, to mediate an effort to settle the case.
But talks ended April 1 without an agreement.
Microsoft "has not indicated any positive sign of interest [in renewing settlement talks] since mediation ended," said Connecticut Attorney General Richard Blumenthal, who co-chaired the effort of states to negotiate a settlement.
Mr. Klein said yesterday new settlement talks must include discussion of preventing Microsoft from repeating the business practices that led Judge Jackson to find it guilty of violating the Sherman Antitrust Act.
But Microsoft won't participate in any settlement talks that include discussion of breaking up the Redmond, Wash.-based company.
"It's clear from their remedy proposal that that's exactly what they would be interested in talking about. . . . They're looking for punitive relief," Mr. Cullinan said.
Exactly what would be on the table for discussion is not clear, Mr. …

Chibi Smacky Animation by meagoWatch
©2013-2016 meago
Very well done!
This was awesome! Bravo!
that was smexy and the music is quite adorable ))))))))))
Wow, this was awesome. :3 Cute music, and great animation.
wow this is cool did you drawed each layer or just replaced the bodyparts to make the animation ? also how come you dont have any lost in quality xD i have to save it as a gif to be able to upload it here what makes me love quality
again you sure did both amazing on this
again you sure did both amazing on this
Meago drew a still picture, I made it move using the Puppet tool in After Effects (which basically just 'bends' areas that you choose). Quality is good because it's a Flash file, not a 256-color GIF. Thank you very much!
Also thanks to everyone who's commented, I read them all and appreciate every one!
Also thanks to everyone who's commented, I read them all and appreciate every one!
omg so much great!
Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! HOW DID YOU DO THAT? WHAT SOFTWARE DID YOU USE?
Really good work both of you!
Aww, this is so adorable, nice work
that was great! First load was very slow but I think it's my Internet's speed fault Once loaded, it worked smoothly and awesome ^^
Ha! That's great!
I love it! Her hair is so cute and bouncy!
wow this is awesome
awesome! (: love it!
thats great
It's cute. x)
Well that was cute...
omg jak ty to zrobiłaś Q_Q
Great job.
Ooh! Saucy animation!
You did an awesome job! <33
oh! she's so cute!~
legs and body don't move THAT much when we talk ( especialy without moving feet ! ) but I love it
Hawt girl.
Nice work Meago AND SnowSultan
i love it!!! XD
How do you do this?
How do you do this?
I very much like smacky <3
Clean lines....seamless animation....I wish my college classes taught me things that useful....*le sigh*
I think both Meago and I are self-taught (this was actually my first half-way serious animation in After Effects), so you certainly can learn all of this on your own. Thanks very much and thanks to everyone for all the nice comments so far!
What you guys can do on your own is simply amazing. I guess I'm just frustrated that with paying tuition I'm not even learning half of what I can learn on my own. And here I've even been using the wrong program!
You are studying graphics at a university? Their job is really just to teach you how programs work, putting it to good and creative use is usually something you have to learn yourself anyway. What program do you mean is "the wrong one"?
But they're not even teaching me how to use it; they're giving me projects and expecting me to know how to use it, which I do to some extent because took a college course in high school. And we only covered photoshop when we were supposed to cover photoshop, flash, and Illustrator. And I use photoshop, but they seem to be doing so much better with AfterEffects
Everything I learned about After Effects (which was certainly enough to make that Meago animation), I learned from Creative Cow ([link]) in about a week and a half. For Photoshop, I read the manual and experimented a lot (which is always important to do in any type of creative software). Watching video tutorials on Youtube and elsewhere can be very helpful too - you may just learn more from looking around the internet than you would from some classes.
she's sooo cuuute great work
oh wows!!!!
pretty frickin' adorable
Vera cute.
cutest little thing ever!!! i love her hair <3
She is just the cutest thing ever! Great animation work! > u<

- After 41 years… By Madison Irving After only three years at the former Bethel College, Shirley Martin graduated in 1970. Having her masters in Business Administration as well as mathematics, she immediately went to work in the Admissions office as the Associate Director of Admissions at Bethel. In 1975 Martin moved over to the Registrar's office where she is currently working today. She explained to me, "I'm a very detail oriented person, so this job has been perfect for me." Shirley Martin and her family grew up in McKenzie, TN and attended McKenzie High School. Martin's sister and brother-in-law both followed in her footsteps by going to Bethel. She knew when she graduated from Bethel she planned to stay much longer. And forty years later she is still working at Bethel. In this amount of time many things are bound to change. Shirley Martin experienced many of these changes first hand. While she was working at Bethel she went through the process of changing out typewriters and calculators for computers. "But the biggest change was the enrollment rate." The enrollment rate basically forced Bethel to change over to a computer based system since the numbers of students were consistently growing and are still growing to this day. "Even now is an exciting time to be working at Bethel, with all the new buildings, new classrooms, amount of students coming in, and all the technology we never thought we'd see at Bethel." It's true, it's almost overwhelming the change going on at Bethel, change that wouldn't be happening if it wasn't for the people that invest themselves the most in the school. Martin says, "The enjoyment I get comes from all the friends I have made. It's an ongoing thing here, I meet new students all the time and it makes my life richer from hearing their story and how Bethel has helped them." The only thing she hates is when students don't take advantage of their time here. "When they don't take advantage of all the people that are here to help them it makes me sad." These people that she references are every single person working at Bethel. Every faculty member, office worker, maintenance, security as well as cleaning staff will bend over backwards to assist a student. Yet many times their services aren't utilized like they should be. Martin has stayed at Bethel because she does feel that Bethel makes a difference in people's lives. She enjoys seeing her fellow workers helping students and loves watching freshman evolve into adults. By working in the Registrar's office she gets to see students when they first get to campus, grow as the school grows and then she watches them graduate. Martin looks forward to hearing what these students go on to do with their lives, and is proud to say that she had something to do with it.

People I know you all have fear of misscariages.But remember to remain positive and stop worrying about every little thing. I know it is easier said than done. Will you worry the whole pregnancy? Now it is misscariages then it will be missed misscariages, then preterm labor or stillbirth or a fully developed baby with no heartbeat. The more you beat yourself up you keep driving yourself insane. You cannot avoid anything happening during this pregnancy. Other peoples horror stories may not even happen to you. I am not saying don't post or ask questions but I am saying the more fear you have of being pregnant the more chance you have of being unhealthy not eating well,being depressed during pregnancy. Take care of yourself and try relaxing.Let your body do what it"s supposed to do.Baby making.
Have a great weekend

Survey data were obtained from three survey series: the National Elections Studies (NES), conducted through the Center for Political Studies at the University of Michigan; the General Social Survey (GSS), administered through the University of Chicago National Opinion Research Center; and the Gallup Poll, produced by the American Institute of Public Opinion. The following sources were used as a guide in selecting specific polls from the NES, GSS, and Gallup survey series, respectively: Warren E. Miller and the National Election Studies, American National Election Studies Cumulative Data File, 1952–1990 (Ann Arbor: University of Michigan, Center for Political Studies, 1991); James Davies and Tom Smith, General Social Surveys, Cumulative Codebook, 1972–1991 (Chicago: National Opinion Research Center, George Gallup 1991); Gallup Poll: Public Opinion, 1935–1971 (New York: Random House, 1972).
In selecting survey questions and responses from these sources, I was guided foremost by (1) the goal of assessing patterns of change in public opinion vis-à-vis racial issues during the period from 1960 to 1990 and (2) that of comparing racial opinions by race, region, and party. For each survey series, there was some slight variation in the wording of the questions from one interview wave to the next. In each case, I selected the wording used most frequently during the period 1960 to 1990.
The vast majority of responses to the selected survey questions were collapsed and recoded differently than they appear in the codebooks and indexes. All of the "No Answer" and "Don't Know" responses were eliminated. In coding racial groups, "other" was excluded, as was "independent" in the coding of the political parties. Additionally, geographic areas were coded so that the "South" includes the eleven former Confederate states, namely, Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, and Virginia. The "non-South" includes all other states. The figures reported here have been rounded

Love of Life Orchestra
With Arthur Russell duly sainted, the New York City avant-disco revival turns to this extensive, expansive studio project and its lush, sax-dominated epics. Blessed with the mastery of a conductor, Peter Gordon brought together a community of musicians -- including Russell, David Byrne, David Johansen, Art Londsay, and vocalist Rebecca Armstrong -- with distinctly lavish and madcap results. "Extended Niceties" and "Roses on the Dance Floor" are as terrific as their titles, and "Beautiful Dreamer" is exquisite. Two tracks after the jump.
