Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country is many things. It’s heavy-handed metaphors and the laziest mystery in the original cast’s adventures on the big or small screen, but it also has a great ending for ending’s sake.

Coupland is Ever-Timeless in the Buzzworthy Generation A
Generation A examines “a world where bees are extinct, until five unconnected people from around the world–in the United States, Canada, France, New Zealand, and Sri Lanka–are all stung.”
Declassify >Odds’ Crash the Time Machine Reminiscent of ‘Cheerleader,’ Eels, and Cars
Odds released Crash the Time Machine this year. And it was my first new-new music from Odds ever, as I’ve only known about the band for a few years thanks to Our Liner Notes host Chris Maier. Up to this point, it’s only been new-to-me music.

Rocket Men: The Epic Story of the First Men on the Moon is the most complete story of Apollo 11 I have ever read.

Star Trek V: The Final Frontier is a curious film. As someone who has been shotgunning this franchise from the beginning, it’s easy to state that this is a comedy: essentially four original series episodes blended into the chaos of one film that still somehow keeps most of the franchise blueprints in tact. Despite all of the chaos and blended plots, this movie is enjoyable and very watchable.
