Star Trek: Asterisk "Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home"
Written by Steve Beaudry
Release Date: November 26, 1986
Written by: Steve Meerson & Peter Krikes and Harve Bennett & Nicholas Meyer
Directed by: Leonard Nimoy
Review
Deep in the outer reaches of space, a monstrous space probe passes by the USS Saratoga and knocks its power out on the way to Earth. Meanwhile, on Earth, a Klingon ambassador accuses Kirk of murdering a ship full of Klingons in his quest to exterminate the Klingon race with the Genesis probe (that thing will just not go away). The Federation president says that Kirk will face nine violations of Starfleet regulations, the crew of the Enterprise has been stuck on Vulcan for three months, and on top of all that, a computer is trying to find out how Spock feels. There's nowhere to go from here but up.
Well, in The Search for Spock, Kirk and the crew of the Enterprise stole a starship, blew it up, visited a forbidden planet, and apparently six other naughty things, so now they're getting ready to go back to Earth on their stolen Klingon Bird-of-Prey and face the music. There's just one hitch in this plan: the probe. It has now reached earth, shut down main power to... everything... and caused a huge weather phenomenon that blocked out the sun. So, basically, humanity has however long it'll take for Earth to freeze from lack of sunlight to tell this thing to move out of the way.
"When this is over, I'm quitting Starfleet and starting a gumbo restaurant."
In their Klingon ship, Kirk and the crew approach Earth and pick up a distress call from the president with the manly gray beard saying that Earth is under attack, so they pick up the probe's transmissions and analyze it. Since the transmission appears to be directed at the oceans, Kirk has Uhura compensate for the density of the water. When the audio effects are all in, the probe's transmission ends up sounding a lot like whale song; specifically, the extinct humpback whale. There's only one way they can get a humpback whale to answer the probe: The Guardian of Forev-... er... wait, no, the highly dangerous and tricky slingshot time warp maneuver. So there are two ways. We'll go with the dangerous one for now.
When they arrive in 1986, they confirm the date by testing the pollution in the air. Then they go into cloak and land in the middle of a park in San Francisco. After scaring off a couple of trash guys, the crew sets out to downtown. Their mission: 1) find humpback whales 2) get them on board the Klingon ship 3) fix the ship's dilithium crystals so they can go home. They split up to achieve their separate goals. Spock and Kirk go for the whales, Bones and Scotty go to build a proper tank, Uhura and Chekov find some nuclear power to fix the crystals.
Spock would like to take this opportunity to learn karate.
Spock and Kirk easily find some whales after they see an advertisement for the local whale institute where they meet George, Gracie and Dr. Gillian Taylor. George and Gracie are the whales and Gillian is the nice lady who knows everything about them. So Spock and Kirk get to know about the whales in their own unique way: Spock mind melds with Gracie and Kirk seduces Gillian. Meanwhile, Bones and Scotty are having a time of their own getting some plexiglass to make a whale tank. Luckily, they have an ace up their sleeves. They meet with a guy who deals in plexiglass and trade the secret formula for transparent aluminum in exchange for their required plexiglass. Also, Sulu learns how to drive a helicopter so they can lift all that plexiglass to the ship.
Things are just about set to go; Kirk is ready to pick up the whales, the plexiglass is ready to be delivered, everything is running smoothly until Chekov screws things up. He finds the USS Enterprise, the aircraft carrier, and, with Uhura's help, steals some of its nuclear power. Well, the officers on board sense the power drain and go looking for him. He hands the power device over to Uhura who beams up to the Klingon ship. But there's not enough transporter power to get Chekov, too, and he's captured. After escaping by attempting and failing to stun his captors, he runs and jumps off a high platform and hospitalizes himself.
It's possible they just got too high.
Chekov arrives at Mercy Hospital, so now they have to go save him before taking off. But to make matters worse, Gillian decided she wants to help, so she wandered off into the park and ran into the cloaked ship. So they beam her aboard, explain a few things, and then run off to save Chekov. With Gillian's help, they sneak into the hospital and pretend to be doctors. Chekov, a suspected Russian spy, is being kept under guard, but Bones easily tricks them into believing they have an emergency. He has a bit of a fight with the attending surgeon and then Kirk locks the surgeon and his team in a small room. Bones heals Chekov, and they leave. The guards give chase once they see that Chekov is being kidnapped, but they beam up in the elevator and make a clean getaway.
Ok, so, Chekov is safe, the tank is built, the dilithium crystals are fixed, all they need now are the whales. Kirk gets their tracking frequency from Gillian and says his goodbyes. She can't, after all, go to the future with them. Right? Weellll... as soon as he starts transporting aboard the ship, Gillian hops on him and comes with. She's staying whether Kirk likes it or not. With Gillian aboard, they set out to find George and Gracie. They find them right in front of a whaling ship. Still cloaked, they head right over to them and just hover for a bit while the whaling ship takes aim. And then... the decloakening.
Klingons on the port bow, captain!
Successfully having scared off the whalers, Scotty beams up George and Gracie and they make their way to the future. In a great evolution of Spock's revived character, he makes his "best guess" with the calculations for time warp, and they head out. Back in the future, they crash into San Francisco Bay. While the rest of the crew abandons ship, Kirk releases the whales out of the cargo bay and into the ocean. Once they're out, Kirk joins his crew as the whales start talking to the probe. After a delightful reunion and conversation with its good buddies, George and Gracie, the Probe turns around, says "thank you!" and leaves the Sol system in peace. The day is saved! So, now it's time for Kirk to stand trial.
Oh, right, yeah, this was the whole reason they were coming back to Earth, wasn't it? The crew of the Enterprise all stand in front of the president to be judged. Because for some reason the president is the judge in the future. Ready to be taken out of Starfleet forever, they all, including Spock who "stands with his shipmates", they all hear the charges brought to them. And then the president says he's getting rid of all of them in light of them saving the entire Earth, and all. The only charge that sticks, disobeying a superior officer, is directed solely at Kirk and because of it, he is reduced in rank to Captain. Which is basically like grounding a nerd to his room with the Internet still on. And not only that, it wouldn't be Star Trek and Kirk wouldn't be Captain without the proper ship. They head out to the shipyard and find the brand spankin' new USS Enterprise NCC-1701-A. The only proper ship for them to go and "see what's out there."
Overall Thoughts
This had been my absolute favorite Star Trek movie for the longest time until my tastes matured and I learned to like The Wrath of Kahn just slightly better. I love a good comedy sci-fi, especially when that comedy sci-fi involves time travel! Every good Star Trek series needs a comedy relief. "The Trouble with Tribbles" was that for The Original Series and this movie is that for the movie series. And, in fact, this movie was so monstrously successful, that it was almost entirely responsible for green-lighting The Next Generation. Picard would take command almost a year after this movie was released and Trek would never be the same.

Well, in The Search for Spock, Kirk and the crew of the Enterprise stole a starship, blew it up, visited a forbidden planet, and apparently six other naughty things, so now they're getting ready to go back to Earth on their stolen Klingon Bird-of-Prey and face the music. There's just one hitch in this plan: the probe. It has now reached earth, shut down main power to... everything... and caused a huge weather phenomenon that blocked out the sun. So, basically, humanity has however long it'll take for Earth to freeze from lack of sunlight to tell this thing to move out of the way.
"When this is over, I'm quitting Starfleet and starting a gumbo restaurant."
In their Klingon ship, Kirk and the crew approach Earth and pick up a distress call from the president with the manly gray beard saying that Earth is under attack, so they pick up the probe's transmissions and analyze it. Since the transmission appears to be directed at the oceans, Kirk has Uhura compensate for the density of the water. When the audio effects are all in, the probe's transmission ends up sounding a lot like whale song; specifically, the extinct humpback whale. There's only one way they can get a humpback whale to answer the probe: The Guardian of Forev-... er... wait, no, the highly dangerous and tricky slingshot time warp maneuver. So there are two ways. We'll go with the dangerous one for now.
When they arrive in 1986, they confirm the date by testing the pollution in the air. Then they go into cloak and land in the middle of a park in San Francisco. After scaring off a couple of trash guys, the crew sets out to downtown. Their mission: 1) find humpback whales 2) get them on board the Klingon ship 3) fix the ship's dilithium crystals so they can go home. They split up to achieve their separate goals. Spock and Kirk go for the whales, Bones and Scotty go to build a proper tank, Uhura and Chekov find some nuclear power to fix the crystals.
Spock would like to take this opportunity to learn karate.
Spock and Kirk easily find some whales after they see an advertisement for the local whale institute where they meet George, Gracie and Dr. Gillian Taylor. George and Gracie are the whales and Gillian is the nice lady who knows everything about them. So Spock and Kirk get to know about the whales in their own unique way: Spock mind melds with Gracie and Kirk seduces Gillian. Meanwhile, Bones and Scotty are having a time of their own getting some plexiglass to make a whale tank. Luckily, they have an ace up their sleeves. They meet with a guy who deals in plexiglass and trade the secret formula for transparent aluminum in exchange for their required plexiglass. Also, Sulu learns how to drive a helicopter so they can lift all that plexiglass to the ship.
Things are just about set to go; Kirk is ready to pick up the whales, the plexiglass is ready to be delivered, everything is running smoothly until Chekov screws things up. He finds the USS Enterprise, the aircraft carrier, and, with Uhura's help, steals some of its nuclear power. Well, the officers on board sense the power drain and go looking for him. He hands the power device over to Uhura who beams up to the Klingon ship. But there's not enough transporter power to get Chekov, too, and he's captured. After escaping by attempting and failing to stun his captors, he runs and jumps off a high platform and hospitalizes himself.
It's possible they just got too high.
Chekov arrives at Mercy Hospital, so now they have to go save him before taking off. But to make matters worse, Gillian decided she wants to help, so she wandered off into the park and ran into the cloaked ship. So they beam her aboard, explain a few things, and then run off to save Chekov. With Gillian's help, they sneak into the hospital and pretend to be doctors. Chekov, a suspected Russian spy, is being kept under guard, but Bones easily tricks them into believing they have an emergency. He has a bit of a fight with the attending surgeon and then Kirk locks the surgeon and his team in a small room. Bones heals Chekov, and they leave. The guards give chase once they see that Chekov is being kidnapped, but they beam up in the elevator and make a clean getaway.
Ok, so, Chekov is safe, the tank is built, the dilithium crystals are fixed, all they need now are the whales. Kirk gets their tracking frequency from Gillian and says his goodbyes. She can't, after all, go to the future with them. Right? Weellll... as soon as he starts transporting aboard the ship, Gillian hops on him and comes with. She's staying whether Kirk likes it or not. With Gillian aboard, they set out to find George and Gracie. They find them right in front of a whaling ship. Still cloaked, they head right over to them and just hover for a bit while the whaling ship takes aim. And then... the decloakening.
Klingons on the port bow, captain!
Successfully having scared off the whalers, Scotty beams up George and Gracie and they make their way to the future. In a great evolution of Spock's revived character, he makes his "best guess" with the calculations for time warp, and they head out. Back in the future, they crash into San Francisco Bay. While the rest of the crew abandons ship, Kirk releases the whales out of the cargo bay and into the ocean. Once they're out, Kirk joins his crew as the whales start talking to the probe. After a delightful reunion and conversation with its good buddies, George and Gracie, the Probe turns around, says "thank you!" and leaves the Sol system in peace. The day is saved! So, now it's time for Kirk to stand trial.
Oh, right, yeah, this was the whole reason they were coming back to Earth, wasn't it? The crew of the Enterprise all stand in front of the president to be judged. Because for some reason the president is the judge in the future. Ready to be taken out of Starfleet forever, they all, including Spock who "stands with his shipmates", they all hear the charges brought to them. And then the president says he's getting rid of all of them in light of them saving the entire Earth, and all. The only charge that sticks, disobeying a superior officer, is directed solely at Kirk and because of it, he is reduced in rank to Captain. Which is basically like grounding a nerd to his room with the Internet still on. And not only that, it wouldn't be Star Trek and Kirk wouldn't be Captain without the proper ship. They head out to the shipyard and find the brand spankin' new USS Enterprise NCC-1701-A. The only proper ship for them to go and "see what's out there."
Overall Thoughts
This had been my absolute favorite Star Trek movie for the longest time until my tastes matured and I learned to like The Wrath of Kahn just slightly better. I love a good comedy sci-fi, especially when that comedy sci-fi involves time travel! Every good Star Trek series needs a comedy relief. "The Trouble with Tribbles" was that for The Original Series and this movie is that for the movie series. And, in fact, this movie was so monstrously successful, that it was almost entirely responsible for green-lighting The Next Generation. Picard would take command almost a year after this movie was released and Trek would never be the same.

Star Trek: Asterisk "Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home"
Written by Steve Beaudry
Release Date: November 26, 1986
Written by: Steve Meerson & Peter Krikes and Harve Bennett & Nicholas Meyer
Directed by: Leonard Nimoy
Review
Deep in the outer reaches of space, a monstrous space probe passes by the USS Saratoga and knocks its power out on the way to Earth. Meanwhile, on Earth, a Klingon ambassador accuses Kirk of murdering a ship full of Klingons in his quest to exterminate the Klingon race with the Genesis probe (that thing will just not go away). The Federation president says that Kirk will face nine violations of Starfleet regulations, the crew of the Enterprise has been stuck on Vulcan for three months, and on top of all that, a computer is trying to find out how Spock feels. There's nowhere to go from here but up.

My askterisk quilt is quilted but not washed. It was easy to quilt because I just followed all of the asterisk lines and stitched ontop of my bias. Pretty slick! It is my creative task for the day!

Eelhart, Bonavontuur.
Bonavontuur.
HOu op! hou op! met al dat knorren en bedillen!
Wat raakt het u dat we in de Zuidzee hand’len willen?
Eelhaart.
Ik ben uw broeder. ’k Wil u raaden als een vrind.
Hoor, dees Negotie agt ik anders niet dan wind.
Bonavontuur.
Gy hebt gelyk, ze is wind: maar, één die van die gekken,
Die zo vol wind zyn, wil een hooge premie trekken,
Moet passen op zyn tyd. Ik agt ze als gy voor dol:
Maar ondertusschen maak ik vast myn’ kisten vol.
Eelhart.
Gy neemt maar Premie, zeg zult gy wel lev’ren konnen?
Bonavontuur.
Hoe leveren? ik agt dat geld alreets gewonnen.
Eelhart.
Zo lang gy geld trekt, ja, zyt gy een groot Sinjeur:
Maar hoe zal ’t met u gaan myn Heer Kontramineur,
Wanneer gy zien moet dat deeze Actien monteeren?
Bonavontuur.
’k Verwagt dat niet.
Eelhart.
Gy zult tot uw schade leeren.
Bonavontuur.
Ei, ei, ik bid je, zeg, op welken fondament
Staat al het werk?
Eelhart
Voor my het is my onbekend.
Bonavontuur.
Op wind, op niemendal: derhalven moet het daalen.
Hoe meer het waaijt, hoe meer ik kan myn kooren maalen.
Eelhart.
Maar, zeg my, hebt gy uw gedagten laaten gaan
Op die twee Heeren, die naar uwe dochter staan?
Kan u Heer Hendrik, of Heer Windbuil best bekooren?
Bonavontuur.
Ik bid u talm my met geen prullen aan myne ooren.
De tyd is kostlyk, praat hier niet als van Zuidzee,
Of Assurantie, Bank, of West, dan praat ik mee.
Eelhart.
Maar evenwel ’t is tyd dat gy besluit moet neemen.
Bonavontuur.
De tyd is kostlyk, ’k zeg ’t nog eens, hou op met teemen:
Want in één oogenblik, één stip, in deezen tyd,
Win ik een millioen, of ik ben alles quyt.
’k Heb wel een tonnegouds of anderhalf verloren,
Om naar een Prokureur of rabbelaar te hooren,
Die aan myn huis, wanneer ik uit moest weezen, quam.
Ik vroeg hem of hy niet geweest had op den dam,
En daar gehoord hoe hoog de Zuidzee Acties liepen.
Hy zei, ik zag een zwerm van Smousen, die wat riepen
Column 2
De west! de west! en dit is alles wat ik weet.
Maar, daar is Pieter.
TWEEDE TOONEEL.
Bonavontuur, Pieter, Eelhart.
Bonavontuur.
WEl, hoe zyt gy zo bezweet?
Pieter.
Daar is een Schelvisboer van Wyk op Zee gekomen,
Die gistren middag zelf te Londen heeft vernomen,
Dat daar geboden word voor de Acties in de Zuid,
Elf honderd.
Bonavontuur.
Ha! ha! ha! die Visboer is een guit,
Die omgekogt is om met list wat wind te maaken,
En door dat loopje de partyen quyt te raaken.
Maar, zyt gy niet eens in het Koffihuis gegaan?
Pieter.
Voorzeker, maar ’t was daar zo vol dat ’k niet kon staan.
Wat was ’er een geschreeuw van Engelschen en kakelaars.
’k Wierd doof door ’t liegen van de Jeuden, en de Makelaars.
’k Liep in de Kalverstraat, en dan weer op den Dam,
Daar ’k alderhande slag van troniën vernam.
Lichtmissen, Kooplui, ook Rapalje, en braave Heeren,
En beurzesnyërs, maar zeer eerlyk in de kleêren.
Ik zag ’er een die niet als van miljoenen sprak,
Die ik geen dubbeltje zou leenen uit myn zak.
Bonavontuur.
Te Londen, weet ik is de Zuidzee aan het daalen.
Gy moet den Makelaar Grypvogel, aanstonds haalen;
Laat hy de Premie maar ontvangen van zyn vrind.
Eelhart.
Hoe broêr, weer Premie?
Bonavontuur.
Ik bedien my van dien wind.
Loop, Pieter, zeg dat ik hem aanstonds zal verwagten.
Hy is in Quincampoix nu nog, naar myn gedachten.
DERDE TOONEEL.
Eelhart, Bonavontuur.
Eelhart.
IK zeg nog ééns, dat gy u zelven ruineert.
Bonavontuur.
Dat zy zo. Ik verzoek dat ge u wat diverteert.
Ik hoor myn huisvrouw en myn dochter, wil maar blyven.
’k Moet myn Korrespondent in Eng’land aanstonds schryven.
Eelhart.
Hoe, ’t is geen Postdag.
Bonavontuur.
Zou ik zo lang wagten? neen,
Ik zend Krispyn expres daar met een pinkje heen.
Dien trouwen knegt verwagt ik hier alle oogenblikken,
Hy is naar Hoorn gereisd, en zal daar iets beschikken.
Eelhart.
Is ’t mogelyk! in die Kommercie Kompanjie?
Bonavontuur.
Gewis, dewyl ik daar veel voordeel in voorzie.
VIERDE TOONEEL.
Beatris, Hillegond, Klaar, Eelhart.
Beatris.
ACh broeder, Eelhart, wat zal ons nog overkomen?
Myn man doet anders niet als van de Zuidzee droomen,
’s Nachts staat hy in zyn bed wel tienmaal overend,
En roept: schryf af myn Heer in banko tien percent!
Wilt gy voor vyftig nog een duizend pond ontvangen,
Op d’afgesproken tyd? spreek, denk op uw belangen.
Dan roept hy weer: de West! of Medenblik! Edam!
Of, foey! dat ’k in Tergou, flus die party niet nam!
Ik bid u, Eelhart, dat gy ’t ons eens uit wilt leggen,
Wat al dat raazen van die Premiën wil zeggen.
Eelhart.
Wel hoor dan: ’t is hier eens in Holland zo geweest,
Dat veele menschen, door een wonderbaaren geest
Gedreeven, zo veel geld verspilden aan de bloemen,
Dat gy zoudt schrikken als men u dien schat zou noemen.
Een tulp, een hiacint, gold somtyds duizend pond,
Wanneer men die spierwit en fraaij gestreept bevond.
Maar deeze zotterny is door den tyd gesleeten,
Of, zo ze ’er is, men wil ’t niet voor de waereld weeten:
Maar nu regeert een geest van zulk een zotterny,
Die al wat zot was streeft in zottigheid voorby.
Men vind in Vrankryk en in Engeland Financieren,
Die geld ontvangen op ’t krediet van hunn’ papieren,
Met inzicht om daardoor de schulden van het Ryk
Te doen vermind’ren, en betaalen te gelyk;
Dees noemt men Actien, die ’s jaarlyks renten geeven,

Wel hoe, maakt dat dan zo’n leeven?

Omdat veel menschen zich verbeelden dat de vaart
Der Zuidzee Kompanjie floreeren, en veel waard
Zal worden, door den tyd; behalven andre zaaken,
Waarop by gissing elk zyn rekening wil maaken.

Dividing the "background" into a dark and light side like this gives you many options when setting the blocks together. Think of all the log cabin variations like barn-raising, zig-zag, etc.

From our Asterisk* Lunch on January 17, 2012, the most epic game of Telephone Pictionary ever! We had 13 people, and this was everyone's favorite, so it's being posted.
The rules of Telephone Pictionary
1. Prepare a stack of papers (as many papers as people who are playing).
2. Write a word, phrase, or sentence on a sheet of paper.
3. Pass that paper, along with the rest of the stack to the next person. You will receive a stack of paper also.
4. You have one minute to make a drawing of that phrase (no symbols or letters, just like Pictionary).
5. When the timer goes off, pass the stack again, and then you will write a phrase or story from the picture, and so on.
6. Once you've gotten all the way back around, read through your stack. Be prepared with Depends for the crazy laughter that will ensue!

I'm not sure if the colors are coming across very true. The dark color is eggplant and the light is kona ash.
Story Part is between the rows of asterisks
*************************************************************
I was visiting some relatives in about 1957 - 1959. Their yard was pretty magical to me. My youngest impressionable images of life were at the Japanese Tea Garden in Golden Gate Park in California, and I absolutely loved the brightly colored bridges, and even the plain wooden ones with their fascinating shapes and sizes, and the stone pathways across little creeks. Of gardens that were similar to those memories, this was the most fascinating private yard I had ever seen in my life. It is pre - 1962 color, and over fifty years old, and then scanned on top of that. Therefore the quality is not the highest, but my memories are. I wanted to grow up and have my very own creek and bridge some day.
On the right hand side of the picture, up toward the house and behind the dark shrubbery was a little patio, where I was first acquainted with Lawry's Seasoned Salt. Our hostess said to take a cherry tomato and dip it in the little salt dish by using a toothpick and then pop it in my mouth. I have liked Lawry's Seasoned Salt ever since, although in tiny amounts. When I taste it or smell it, I am back in this yard again, dreaming my little dreams of having a mansion someday with Yosemite in the back yard, Muir Woods on one side, the Japanese Tea Garden on the other side and the rest of Golden Gate Park for my front yard.
I thought this was the back yard until I followed the path over the bridge and away from the house, clear to a gate, which was on a street and had a mailbox. It developed that this was actually their *front* yard, but no one ever wanted to park way out and walk all the way through it with their groceries, etc. We had been entering through an alley way and going in the actual *back* door, which they used as a front door. It was on Niodrara Drive in Glendale, California.

These were fun, but I must stop now and mail them to Jennifer! Jen, I'm sorry that you may have to make your seam allowances a smidge small. No matter how large I cut the original block, the finished one would turn out too small!

So while back I started tinkering with a new "Asterisk" logo. For those who don't know "Asterisk" is the name of my blog and has been for years and years.
Anyway, I kind of do have a "logo" that I like, but I don't have the original files, so I can't really reproduce it for anything I want to do. One idea was to hire an illustrator to do that for me. And I may go back to that, but I digress.
Anyway, what you see here is something I've been toying with since back when my site used to have all sorts of discussion. I thought it would be cool to do some kind of speech bubble idea and incorporate a star or asterisk into that...It's something I liked and something I thought was a decent fit.
It's also a concept that took quite a bit of sketching, brainstorming and thinking to get to. Now, the execution you see here was never "finished" but you get the idea. This didn't just spring up out of nowhere.
Which is interesting and slightly discouraging as yesterday I came across the Asterisk PBX site: www.asterisk.org/. Got there and take a look at their mark.
As far as I can remember, I've never seen that logo or site (but then again, who knows right?) As you might imagine, when I saw the logo I just had to shake my head. I guess there really are no original ideas out there. The execution is different, but the idea and concept are almost identical.
Ah, well.
UPDATE: Even stranger, as Sean points out in the comments, it looks like a photo Tom took in Chile that we also use in our new Blue Flavor homepage.
