From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
Tennis players Justine Henin from Belgium, former world No. 1, and Serena Williams from the USA, also former World No. 1,[1] [2] who met 14 times during their careers. When Henin was an active player, their rivalry was one of the most heated and competitive between two female players on the WTA Tour;[3] their contests were not solely athletic in nature, but interpersonal as well.[4]
As of June 30, 2013, Williams leads the overall head-to-head series, 8–6.[5] Henin retired for the second time in January 2011.[6]

List of Star Trek: The Original Series episodes
"The Doomsday Machine" is a second season episode of the American science fiction television series, Star Trek. It is episode number 35, production number 35, and was first broadcast on October 20, 1967, and repeated on April 19, 1968. It was written by Norman Spinrad, and directed by Marc Daniels.
In the episode, the starship Enterprise comes into contact with her sister ship, the USS Constellation, which has been heavily damaged by a huge, apparently invulnerable planet-killing machine from another galaxy. Kirk and his crew must find a means to stop the device heading for heavily populated areas of our galaxy, and deal with the heavily traumatized Commodore Decker, the Constellation's only survivor.

Plot[edit]
The Federation starship USS Enterprise, following a trail of planets that have been destroyed by unknown means, picks up the automated distress beacon from her sister ship, the USS Constellation and proceed to her location. Upon arrival, they find the Constellation drifting in space, severely damaged and the bridge uninhabitable. Captain Kirk, Chief Medical Officer Dr. McCoy, Chief Engineer Scott and a damage control team transport to the ship to evaluate her, and in Auxiliary Control discover the only member of the crew still aboard, Commodore Matt Decker, her captain, who is suffering from severe mental trauma.
Through an anguished exchange with Kirk, Decker explains that they had discovered a giant machine miles long that used beams of antiprotons to tear apart planets and consume the rubble, fueling its progress through this sector of the galaxy. He had ordered the Constellation to attack the machine, but the attack was ineffective and the Starship suffered heavy damage. Decker had evacuated his crew to one of the planets of the star system, but was aghast when the machine destroyed it. Kirk theorizes the machine may be an ancient doomsday machine, inadvertently activated, and they must find a way to stop it before it reaches more populated sectors of the galaxy. The Enterprise takes the Constellation in tow and McCoy takes Decker back to the Enterprise, while Scott's damage control team attempt repairs on the Constellation's impulse engines, weapons and shields. Kirk attends to the Constellation's nonfunctional viewscreen, which will be his only means of monitoring events outside the ship (besides communications from Enterprise).
Spock informs Kirk of the sudden appearance of the so-called "planet killer" and it begins to pursue the Enterprise. As the boarding party prepares to beam back aboard, the machine attacks the Enterprise, damaging the transporter and disrupting communications. Obsessed with trying to destroy the planet killer, Decker pulls rank on First Officer Spock, assumes command of the Enterprise and orders a phaser attack. The phasers are useless against the machine, and the Starship is then caught in a tractor beam and is drawn towards the planet killer's maw. Kirk completes his repair of Constellation's viewscreen and is shocked to see the Enterprise engaging the machine. Scott has managed to recharge one of the Constellation's phaser banks and the crippled Starship fires at the planet killer, distracting the machine long enough for Enterprise to escape its tractor beam. After repairing the transporter and reestablishing voice communications, Enterprise retreats to a safe distance. Spock relieves Decker of command on Captain Kirk's orders and Decker is escorted to Sickbay. However, Decker subdues his security escort and steals a shuttlecraft, flying it straight into the maw of the machine. Although horrified as he is about to be swallowed by the planet killer, he does not deviate from his course, despite Kirk and Spock's pleading to return to the Enterprise. The shuttlecraft explodes within the machine and Decker is killed.
Lt. Sulu reports that the shuttlecraft explosion has reduced the planet killer's power output by a small amount. Kirk comes up with a plan to explode the Constellation inside the planet killer after reasoning that Decker had had the right idea but not enough power to accomplish his goal. Kirk insists on piloting the damaged Starship into the machine over Mr. Spock's objections. Mr. Scott rigs the impulse engines with a thirty-second time delay before detonation, warning his captain that once the timer has been enabled, there is no way to abort it.
With the rest of the boarding party transported back to the Enterprise, now at a safe distance from the machine, Kirk aims the Constellation for the maw of the planet killer, triggers the timer, and orders the Enterprise to beam him aboard. However the transporter is still working with glitches left from Scott's previous hasty repair, and it malfunctions. Scott races to set it right, taking advice from Mr. Spock to get it working again. With no time to spare, Captain Kirk is safely beamed aboard the Enterprise as the Constellation explodes inside the planet killer, leaving it a dead hulk adrift in space, its threat ended.
Production[edit]
Episode writer Norman Spinrad based the script on a novelette "The Planet Eater" that had been rejected by a number of publishers. He revived the idea when he had a chance to pitch it to Executive Producer Gene Roddenberry. "I did The Doomsday Machine fast," he recalled.[1] Spinrad had written the script with actor Robert Ryan in mind to play Commodore Decker, but Ryan was unavailable owing to prior commitments.[2]
Some sources hold that the episode was influenced by Fred Saberhagen's series of berserker stories,[3] a series of robotic killing machines built as a doomsday device by a now-vanished race to wipe out their rivals.[4] However, author Norman Spinrad denies the influence — "I wasn't conscious of the Saberhagen stuff when I was doing this, but I was certainly conscious of Moby Dick. And, actually, my unpublished novelette, which was the genesis of ("The Doomsday Machine"), was written before the Saberhagen stuff."[5] Secondary sources in the Star Trek canon refer to the devices as a Berserker.[6]
According to one source the model for the USS Constellation was an off-the-shelf AMT Enterprise model painted and torched in places for the battle damage, while other sources claim that the smallest and least detailed Enterprise professional model was altered for the episode. It has also been stated that the Constellation's hull ID number of 1017 came from simply switching the digits of an Enterprise model's 1701 hull numbers.[7]
The episode was written as a bottle episode, i.e., one that could use existing ship sets to save time and money. According to Spinrad, the episode was so well received by Roddenberry that he commissioned him to write another for comedian Milton Berle who planned to do a dramatic turn on the show titled "He Walked Among Us".[5]
Music[edit]
This is one of the few Star Trek episodes in the second season for which original music was written; in this case a full score, by Sol Kaplan. Writer James Lileks notes that the music cues for this episode are "intended to belong together, and that’s one of the reasons the episode works like few others: it has a unique symphonic score. Played start to finish, it holds together."[8] Jeff Bond notes, "Although he wrote only two scores for the series, New York composer Sol Kaplan's music was tracked endlessly throughout the show's first two seasons."[9] Both Lileks and Bond point out similarities between this music and John Williams' award-winning score for Jaws, nearly a decade later. The music for this episode was collected, along with the score for "Amok Time", on the second release from Crescendo Records of music from the series: the first release other than the music from the pilot episodes.
Unofficial sequels to the episode[edit]
In a non-official sequel to the episode, an advanced version of the Planet Killer appears in the Star Trek: The Next Generation novel Vendetta. The novel depicts the original Planet Killer as a prototype for a weapon designed to combat the Borg, released in desperation when the weapon's designers realized that the Borg would defeat them before they could finish the more advanced version.
Another unofficial sequel to "The Doomsday Machine" appeared online in 2005 in an episode of Star Trek: New Voyages, a self-produced Star Trek fan series. Titled "In Harm's Way", William Windom reprises his role as Commodore Matt Decker almost 40 years later. Gene Roddenberry's son, Rod Roddenberry, was on set and fully involved with some of the filming of this episode in Northern New York.
Still another unofficial sequel appears in Star Trek Online, in the Federation storyline.
Reception[edit]
For the franchise's 30th anniversary, TV Guide ranked "The Doomsday Machine" No. 4 on its list of the 10 best Star Trek episodes.[10] Zack Handlen of The A.V. Club gave the episode an "A" rating, describing the episode as "very strong stuff", noting effective tension building and the development of Decker's character. Handlen also noted Sol Kaplan's score which "matches the actors' intensity."[11]

"Here I Go Again" is a song by British rock band Whitesnake. Originally released on their 1982 album, Saints & Sinners, the power ballad[2] was re-recorded for their 1987 self-titled album. The song was re-recorded that year in a new "radio-mix" version, which was released as a single and hit number one on the Billboard Hot 100 chart on 10 October 1987, and number nine on the UK Singles Chart on 28 November 1987. The 1987 version also hit number one on the Canadian Singles Chart on 24 October 1987. In 2006, the 1987 version was ranked number 17 on VH1's 100 Greatest Songs of the '80s.[3]

Background and writing[edit]
The song was written by the lead singer, David Coverdale, and former Whitesnake guitarist, Bernie Marsden. The most notable differences between the original and re-recorded versions are a slight change in the lyrics. The chorus of the original version features the lines:
And here I go again on my own
Goin' down the only road I've ever known
Like a hobo I was born to walk alone
In an interview, Coverdale explained that "hobo" was changed to "drifter" in the re-recorded version to ensure that it would not be misheard as "homo".[4]
Composition[edit]
The song is composed in the key of G major and a tempo of 91 BPM.[5]
Music video[edit]
The first music video was made for the original 1982 version. It starts with Coverdale sitting in a concert hall seat and singing the first verses. The video continues as a lip synced "live" video showing the 1982 line-up (Ian Paice who was drumming for the recording is replaced by Cozy Powell) of Whitesnake performing the song. This music video for this song presents David Coverdale with black hair.
The music video for the re-recorded version was directed by Marty Callner,[6] who directed most of Whitesnake's videos in the 1980s. In the video, actress Tawny Kitaen is seen posing on the hoods of two Jaguar XJs and seducing Coverdale while he is driving. Kitaen and Coverdale would later marry. This video presents David Coverdale with blonde hair.
Due to Coverdale firing the other members of the band before the album was released, he is the only Whitesnake member present on both the recording and in the music video (Along Adrian Vandenberg, who played the guitar solo on the recording); this was the case for all music videos released for songs from the 1987 album.[citation needed]
Single versions[edit]
There are several different versions of the song, all recorded officially by Whitesnake. They are:
The original version from the 1982 Saints & Sinners album with Jon Lord on Hammond organ and Bernie Marsden and Micky Moody on guitar (5:03)[7]
The re-recorded version that appears on the Whitesnake (aka 1987) album with John Sykes on guitar (solo by Adrian Vandenberg) (4:36)[citation needed]
A 1987 "radio-mix" version, which was released as a U.S. single with Denny Carmassi on drums and Dann Huff on guitar, who also provided the new arrangement. This version also appeared on the Greatest Hits album in 1994 (3:54)[citation needed]
A 1997 acoustic version recorded for the Starkers in Tokyo album with Adrian Vandenberg on guitar.[citation needed]
In 1987, EMI released a limited Collectors Poster Edition 'USA Single Remix' 7" vinyl [EMP 35], the B-side of which consists of an engraved signature version, and the sleeve of which unfolds into a poster of the band.[8]
While the 1987 album version and the radio version of the tune are fairly similar, there are several significant differences. The original 1987 version (the one used for the video) has a long and slow keyboard and vocal intro, whereas the other kicks straight in with the band. One was recorded for the album 1987, the other for a U.S single release the same year. They contain two very different guitar solos, Adrian Vandenberg plays the album and video solo, and Dann Huff plays on the radio edit version. The album version has a different rhythm in the chorus, with a syncopated kick drum beat that is not in the single version. Of the two versions, the one most widely referred to is the remastered version released in the self-titled 1987 album, although both receive significant airplay today.[citation needed]

Cover versions[edit]
A dance cover version by Frash was a minor hit in the UK in 1995, reaching number 69.[22]
In 2004, a dance/pop version of "Here I Go Again" was recorded by Polish dancer and singer Mandaryna.[23] Released as the debut single from her debut album Mandaryna.com, the song became a hit in Poland. It was later remixed by Axel Konrad of Groove Coverage for the single release in German speaking countries.
The song was also frequently performed by Bernie Marsden and Micky Moody in their post-Whitesnake collaborations, appearing on the Moody Marsden Band albums Never Turn Our Back on the Blues and Live in Hell (Unplugged), The Snakes's Live in Europe, The Company of Snakes's live album Here They Go Again, and M3 Classic Whitesnake's Classic Snake Live and Rough and Ready albums. It also appears on Marsden's solo live album Big Boy Blue... Live (also known as Live at the Granary). The version usually played was the 1987 radio-mix arrangement, in spite of neither Moody nor Marsden actually playing on that release, although 1987 keyboard player Don Airey appears on several of the releases.
The song is featured as the act one finale to the musical Rock of Ages.
The song is featured in Uncle Kracker's song "Livin' the Dream" from the album Happy Hour in 2009.

Character history[edit]
Lifetime[edit]
Christine Daaé was born in a town near Uppsala, Sweden. Her mother died when she was six. Raised by her father, they constantly traveled to fairs where he played the violin and she sang. They were discovered at one of these fairs by Professor Valérius, who took them to Gothenburg and then to Paris, providing for Christine's education.
Das Phantom der Oper, Dt. EA 1912, Albert Langen, München
Christine was extremely close to her father, who told her Scandinavian fairy-tales; the tale of the "Angel of Music" was her favorite. Christine entered the Paris Conservatoire and trained for four years to become an opera singer to please her father and Mamma Valérius, the bedridden wife of the late Professor. However, by the end of the four years, she had lost her passion for singing.
When Christine arrives at the Opéra Garnier, she was described as "sounding like a rusty hinge", but one person found the beauty hidden in her voice. When Erik, the Phantom of the Opera began to tutor her, he told her that he is the "Angel of Music" of whom her father had spoken. She believed him, and he inspired her soul back into her voice. Christine debuted at a gala at the opera in place of the singer Carlotta, who had fallen ill. Christine's singing was described as "seraphic".
Christine became torn between her loyalty and sympathy for her mentor, Erik, and her love for her childhood friend Viscount Raoul de Chagny.
In the Lofficier translation of the novel, Christine's age is given as 15 years old. However, this is a mistranslation of a passage that says her heart was "as pure as that of a 15 year old". The evidence of Christine's childhood friendship with Raoul, and her studies at the Paris Conservatoire, put her age at 20.
Andrew Lloyd Webber's musical The Phantom of the Opera[edit]
Main article: The Phantom of the Opera (1986 musical)
Christine is a chorus girl, who becomes the object of obsession, passion and love for the mysterious Phantom of the Opera. He becomes her mentor, and with his help, she is chosen to replace the company's prima donna, Carlotta. When she falls in love with her childhood sweetheart, Raoul, the Phantom kidnaps Christine in a jealous rage and drags her down to his lair. She is forced to choose between the Phantom and Raoul, but her compassion for the Phantom moves him to free them both and allow them to flee.
2004 Film[edit]
The film version of the musical follows the musical's script closely, but Christine's age is reduced. Her gravemark says that she was born in 1854, and the beginning the movie shows the setting as 1870, so that makes her 15 or 16 years old.
Father's name[edit]
In the novel, Christine's loving father is named Daddy Daaé. In the musical, he is called Gustave, and in Sarah Brightman's music video version of "Wishing You Were Somehow Here Again", his name is Charles.
Films[edit]
The novel was filmed several times. The first film adaptation was made in Germany in 1915, with Nils Chrisander (1884-1947) as the Phantom of the Opera and Aud Egede-Nissen (1893-1974) as Christine Daaé. Many critics consider the Filming of 1925, by Carl Laemmles Studio Universal Pictures, as the most successful. The role of the phantom played here Lon Chaney. The same studio tried in 1943 with a sound film of Arthur Lubin to follow this success. The film used to a large extent the still existing scenes of the silent film. Claude Rains played the phantom. In 1960, a Spanish society turned a very free adaptation of the subject under the title El Fantasma de la Operetta . In 1962 the British production company Hammer Films focused on the horror genre. Another film adaptation was made in 1974 by 20th Century Fox, who moved the event to New York and changed the story very much. This film was released as The Phantom of the Paradise. The 1989 version, with Freddy-Krueger star Robert Englund in the title role, focused on the potential for violence of the phantom. On the other hand, in the same year as a German-French-Italian-American co-production, a TV-Secondary was created, which put the melodramatic love story in the foreground and waived television rights on Splatter effects. The phantom embodied Charles Dance . In 1998 the famous Italian Horrorfilm director, Dario Argento, starred with Julian Sands in the lead role of the fabric, but was not particularly successful at Kinokasse. Finally, in 2004, Joel Schumacher produced a film version that was inspired by the musical of Andrew Lloyd Webber. Here played Gerard Butler , the role of the Phantom. Originally there was already a filming based on the musical in the early 1990s, with the main actors of the premiere: Michael Crawford as the phantom and Sarah Brightman as Christine. Brightman was married to Lloyd Webber at the time, but shortly before the planned pre-production the marriage was broken and the filming was canceled.

Basis[edit]
Several researchers claim the character Christine Daaé was based upon the real-life Swedish-born opera star Christina Nilsson, also known as Kristina Nilsson or Christine Nilsson.[1][2][3][4][5] This claim is unverified by any official source, but it is supported by several biographical similarities between Nilsson and Daaé. The most obvious is that Nilsson, like Daaé, was born in Sweden and trained in Paris.

Plot[edit]
Wealthy drug dealer Miles Montego meets a nice Christian girl, Vanessa Leon, at a mutual friend's house, and the two hit it off and start a relationship. Miles tells Vanessa that he used to be a drug dealer, but now wants to change his life. At first she is reluctant, but accepts it, assuming that he will start having faith in God. However, unknown to Miles, a few DEA agents are watching him and his friends and plan on taking them down.
Miles' mother dies from an illness, and he proposes to Vanessa on an airplane. After a car accident, Vanessa enters a coma. As he waits in the hospital, Miles starts to restore his faith in God, praying to him to make Vanessa wake up and saying that she shouldn't have to pay for his sins. Vanessa recovers and the two marry. He writes to his friends, who are now in jail, and tells them that he misses them. He also sends them Bibles and tells them that they better stay out of trouble since they're going to be uncles.
The film ends with a look at three years later, showing Vanessa, her family, Miles' dad and their daughter in church, where Miles is now the pastor.

Production[edit]
The film, which was written by Galley Molina is based on his own experience. Molina wrote it during his time in prison. He initially wanted to tell his story in a book but it was eventually developed into a film. He chose Bailon and Baldwin for the film because of their "strong Christian backgrounds and for their talents".[2] Molina sought financing on his own for the project so that he could retain more creative control. He refused an offer of a major studio because they wanted to glamorize his drug-dealing days.[3] Singer Israel Houghton, who Co-Executive produced the film, contributed four original songs to the soundtrack.[4]
The film was produced by Sean Dinwoodie, Galley Molina, Michael K. Race, & Steve Race.[5]
The film was shot in San Jose, California [3] and was completed in November 2010.[6]
Release[edit]
The trailer for the film was released on July 15, 2013. The film opened on October 18, 2013.[7]
Critical reception[edit]
The film has been panned by critics; it holds a 6% approval rating on aggregate review site Rotten Tomatoes with an average score of 3/10, based on 17 reviews.[8] On Metacritic, which assigns a weighted mean rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream critics, the film received an average score of 23, based on 13 reviews, indicating "generally unfavorable reviews".[9] In 2013, Matt Barone of complex.com, shared his thoughts on the film in article titled "The Most Unintentionally Hilarious Movie Scene of 2013 Stars Ja Rule (Yes, That Ja Rule)".[10][further explanation needed]
Christian response[edit]
The film had a slightly more positive reception among Christian publications. Christianity Today gave the film 2 out of 4 stars, saying: "Church Girl tries to pack too many messages (about conversion, about faith, about drugs, about romance, about tragedy, about church, and more) into a movie that just isn't wide enough to hold it all." The magazine gave positive marks to Ja Rule's acting, calling it "good" and "believable".[11] Crossmap from the Christian Post praised the production and the performances, which they described as "convincing, despite the mediocre script". It concluded stating the film "has a heartfelt Christian message that many will enjoy".[12] The Dove Foundation summarized the film as "the story of a man that falls in love with a woman and one of a man realizing that God loves him. This movie is timely, contemporary, yet shares a wonderful old message: God can change people’s lives! It features fine actors and a terrific theme centering on God's forgiveness and love as well as the love between a man and a woman."[13] Ryan Duncan of Crosswalk.com wrote: "Though the movie still suffers from a few trademark flaws that mar faith-based films, it succeeds in telling a story that will resonate with Christian and secular audiences alike." Duncan further applauded the actors' performances describing them as "powerful" and highlighting the chemistry between the two main characters. However, Duncan also noted that the story at times can be tedious and boring. "As for the Christian message, viewers will be happy to know it is delivered with authenticity and respect."[14]
Box office[edit]
In its first weekend, the film opened in 457 locations in North America. It finished the weekend at fifteenth place and earned $1,025,000, with a per screen average of $2,243.[15][16] The film performed above expectations, as it was forecast that "it would be surprising if this averaged above $1,000 per theater."[17]
Home media[edit]
Cinedigm Entertainment released the film to DVD and Blu-ray on January 14, 2014.[18]
