Too bad they are being stingy with the extras, not even reinserting them back into the original footage. If you wanna make a $20 bet, it would be on how long they are going to hold out on us before giving us the our 3 hr movie.

Yeah, that's too bad: you can still see all the deleted scenes in STII when they play it on sci-fi channel but not even on the bells and whistles DVD! I personally got screwed into buying the regular DVD before I knew I'd have to buy it twice for any extras! Only Paramount pulls this kind of shit. In mabye three of four years we'll see a "Special Edition" DVD of Nemesis and ot'll have what we're looking for.

"There are just as many people who don't want cut scenes shoehorned back into a film."
Yeah, but we're talking about a DVD, not a video tape. It's not like they have to do it one way or the other, exclusively.

I'm told the scene where Scotty introduces ensign "thrid degree" as his nephew is still absent. As I refuse to give these jerks more cash I'm not 100% sure. Who else pulls these Special Edition things after the initial release? I know there is the Army Of Darkness and now X-Men versions, but as a rule the DVD tends to have the extras built in the first time around.
Gotta say that DS9's DVD is well worth the cash. I've noticed several intresting things today: O'Brien grumbles to himself "I should have signed onto a unmanned cargo drone..." A TAS refrence of all things! ....and the Ambassador (Yamagucci?) fires a big beam from it's deflector at the Borg cube in Emissary! Mabye they tried a vriation on Geordi's deflector weapon. The Sternbach(sp?) interview on designing the station is awesome too!

WHAT!!!!!!!!!!!! What the hell??? I never saw that in the pilot episode, so I'm guessing that it's a cut scene. Damn! They make all the scenes and then cut them out. Bet some of the excellent episodes would have been stupendous with them in. Lousy cheapskates.

It's there, plus there's an extra bit of dialogue between Kirk & Scotty just after he croaks. Of course I can only speak for the Region 2 issue.

Not so, I've some of the first films to be released as DVDs have been later re-issued with extras although only Starship Troopers and The Fugitive spring to mind. Again, I can only speak for Region 2 disks.

Come again? I didn't know they had deleted scenes in the series pack.

You misunderstand: It was not a deleted scene: I had to use the pause/step feature with the zoom on to confirm it. The beam is phaser colored but thicker than the phasers fired from it's dorsal strip....and it comes straight from the Deflector. ....and the scene is very fast. Something else that's a bit odd: the Nebula (Endeavour?) in that scene fires torpedos from under the saucer-the same place the torp launcher is located on the Galaxy class!
I stand corrected on the "Special Edition" thing. I guess these multiple releases thing is just more hollywood greed in action. A bad trend to be sure.

I personally hate it. I buy a DVD and a few months later there's a new edition with more stuff. It's bullshit. I knew ahead of time that was going to happen with FOTR which is why I held out until the extended edition came along. They'll more than likely do the same with TTT.
