HEAVENLY VOICES 

OK, that's a cute shaded Starship Enterprise in the grid today. Hah! It's kind of a complicated theme. I mean, ok, on one level, it's STARTREK, but the long Down answers containing character names in circled letters in reverse from bottom to top, clued with quotations that the character might have uttered? That's a little complicated to explain. Oh, and MISTERSCOTT gets his own space. See? Nothing to it.

AMSTERDAM

It was nice to learn a secondary definition of SQUIRES (They study how knights move), and the nearby PLIGHT (Tough spot) was a good ten-cent word. "Beethoven's No. 8?" (ACHT) was clever, and "One giving the highlights?" (DYER) reminds me that it's really time for me to go in for more lowlights. :)

I liked that me and my sister got in today (TOM and SUE), and any puzzle is good that starts with STARTREK and ends with BEERS
