Maurice was referring to the Scotty picture (see below), not the president.
Regarding the Scotty picture...

...it was published as a deleted scene picture by Trekcore here: http://www.trekcore.com/specials/thumbnails.php?album=163
And here there is a confirmation, saying that the picture comes from the wife of the bearded actor: https://startrek.blognook.com/2017/05/02/scottysmurftrekcorestill-from-a-deleted-scene-in-the/
The description reads: "Still from a deleted scene in “The Undiscovered Country” in which the assassins stalk Scotty after he finds the missing space suits."
There is also this backstage picture, which would seem to confirm it's actually a deleted scene picture.

I hope this is a new picture because I’d like to feel like I’m contributing here instead of always asking questions!
Well....shit. Nm then lol.Actually I did post this picture in the old thread, but I can't thank you enough for the link to the scanned Cinefantastique issues. I've already downloaded the full Starlog collection from the Internet Archive (https://archive.org/details/starlogmagazine) and I've been looking for a while for something similar for Cinefantastque!
Anyway here is the picture:

And here is another picture from another deleted scene from Star Trek II: McCoy attending an injured Chekov.

So true. The dinner scene was the most edited down in the movie with all the secondary actors getting (and then losing) some nice lines where they were actually used as human characters rather than just functionaries of the ship. The first two acts of Trek 6 had a lot of great material cut that would have added at most 5-8 minutes of run time. A bit more at the Starfleet briefing, a glimpse of Kirk giving Gorkon a tour of the ship, the dinner scene, the trial and Martia's intro.
STV (along with NEMESIS) was the movie most in need of improvement...The novelization of Star Trek V does the most to improve on the movie than any of the others
I found a site with just about every issue of cinefantastique scanned in.
The Wrath of Khan issue is here https://the-eye.eu/public/Books/Cinefantastique/Cinefantastique Vol 12 No 5-6 (1981).pdf
I agree. I haven't gone through every issue yet but I have to say, i'm surprised at how many negative reviews i've found so far. Those guys didn't like anything!I think that was the best issue of that mag ever.
Naturally--I missed it.
i'll have to look that one up. as a child I really liked the trek 2 and trek 3 novels a lot. I never got around to reading 4-6.The novelization of Star Trek V does the most to improve on the movie than any of the others
Would you have a link to the alternate versions? I'd be interested in reading the snipped dialogue from both TUC and TSFS.
Yeah, I like the idea of that scene a lot, but some of it played kind of campy in the novel. They cut it from the film because IIRC, it would've cost at least another million to shoot (Different sets/locations for each crew member, presumably new civilian clothing for the Enterprise crew & whatever extras were needed, a specific guest actor in Bibi Besch, an optical for the Klingon Bird of Prey in the Scotty scene, etc.). That stuff adds up quickly, and as it wasn't essential to the plot and possibly would've been lost in the editing, anyway... Easy thing to cut.There was also a scripted "round up of the crew" that was removed from the prologue of ST VI. Not filmed. (Scotty lecturing cadets about the Klingon Bird of Prey, Chekov losing a card game to a Betazoid, Uhura at Starfleet Command, etc.) Denny Martin Flinn dropped the sequence back into the beginning of his Trek novel, "The Fearful Summons".
