something i noticed when tv channels show Star Trek II Wrath of Khan

[urrutiap]

I dunno if its because of the old DVD special deluxe editions from back in 2002 and 2003, i noticed that tv channels like Sy Fy or the MGM sphere channel on regular tv cable or on slingtv, that they always air the extended version of Star Trek II where they include the hallway discussion between Spock and Kirsty Alley's character about Kirk.

I remember back in the day when Star Trek II was on HBO in the early 1980s and for VHS, the movie never had that scene in the first place.

but now these days due to certain DVDs that were released years ago, tv channels tend to air from time to time extended versions of movies like Star Trek to even Billy Madison

Are you talking about Spock and Saavik in the torpedo bay speaking in Vulcan about Kirk? If so, that's always been there since the theatrical cut.

What you may be thinking of is after the landing party beams back to the ship, there's an added scene in the extended cuts where Kirk and Spock are talking as they climb the ladders between decks because the turbolifts are out. That was not in the theatrical cut but was added back in later.

no im not talking about the landing party.

its the hallway talk with Saavik and Spock. that was added for the 2002-2003 dvd deluxe special editon. that was never in the original theatrical movie.

i dont mind some tv channels or even streaming apps showing extended versions, at the same time its weird seeing only the extended version of a movie that gets shown way too much on tv or on streaming apps..

Even on amazon prime when they show original Naked Gun, at times they edit the whole scene of Frank outside of the building with the statues. sometimes they show that, sometimes they dont. then they go right next to the scene of the mayor talking about last night's incident.

so dont effin tell me that im wrong.

that scene of Saavik and Spock was never in the original version of Star Trek II

I've noticed this sometimes too. I wonder if they do it because it's the highest quality available to them. Or is it just a trend these days? I don't mind it too much but if I'm seeing a movie for the first time I usually prefer to see the original cut of the film.

Is this the scene you're talking about?
