Just watched it with both commentaries on... I actually enjoyed Nick Meyer's commentary a lot, though Okuda's text didn't tell much that I didn't know already. I found it interesting that Meyer of all people wanted the ships to be silent in space shots... he always struck me before as the "make it exciting, screw believability" type. Although I don't rank him as an all-time great director, my respect for the man has risen, and I better understand why TWoK was the movie that it was.
The added Preston scenes, while nothing technically new, made the emotional impact of his death a great deal better, and I am gald to see they are back. There were a few other minor scenes added in that worked well, also, such as Spock wryly telling Saavik that "the human ego" is Khan's incentive to follow Enterprise into the nebula.
Another thing I enjoyed was the "Designing Khan" featurette... Joe Jennings seems like the coolest guy; not only does he know his Star Trek, he wants it to be believable.

An interview with Mr and Mrs Montalbahn about how they looked for potential sperm doners by measuring their man tits?

It isn't as though I haven't met a lot of people. Goodness knows it isn't that. It isn't just that... it isn't... it's... it's despicable.

Is "Designing Kahn" anything like "Designing Women"!?!
Oh, and over at the link to the TrekBBS about the topic (from trektoday.com) Someone there said that the Saavik origin scene has been seen at conventions etc. Is it on the net?
