I recently bought the book "Star Trek: Lost Scenes." I'm surprised that the deleted scene from "Operation -- Annihilate!" is not included in the book.
Does anyone know why that deleted scene was omitted?
It features Captain Kirk talking with his nephew, Peter Kirk, at the end of the episode about where to live now that his parents are dead. Peter opts to stay on Deneva and be adopted by a colleague of his late father (the Captain's brother). After Peter leaves, Scotty mentions that Peter could eventually join Starfleet Academy. Kirk responds that he hopes he won't. He prefers to spare Peter from difficult command decisions like the one Kirk just faced about possibly destroying Deneva to eridicate I the parasitic creatures.
Here's the scene on YouTube:
