In this episode Mark talks about the fifth installment in the "Star Trek" film series: "Star Trek V: The Final Frontier" directed by William Shatner. The story of the film concerns the crew of the USS Enterprise NCC-1701-A being drawn into a hostage crisis on the planet of Nimbus III engineered by a renegade Vulcan by the name of Sybok (played by Laurence Luckinbill) in order to take possession of a starship capable of penetrating "The Great Barrier" where it is expected the mysthical planet of "Sha Ka Ree" lies - the purported place of creation - and where they will find the God at the center of many of the religions of the galaxy who awaits them there. However, Sybok is revealed to be none other than Spock's half-brother - and it is Sybok's psychic manipulation of the crew of the Enterprise into doing his will, as well as his personal relationship with Spock, that tests the friendship of Captain James T. Kirk (William Shatner), Spock (Leonard Nimoy), and Dr. Leonard McCoy (DeForest Kelley) in ways they have never known before. The soundtrack of the film was composed by the late great Jerry Goldsmith.
