-------------------- Yes, you're despicable, and... and picable... and... and you're definitely, definitely despicable. How a person can get so despicable in one lifetime is beyond me. 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.

I think that is mainly due to the fact that there really wasn't much in the way of extra footage for III & IV, evidently Nimoy has a much better grasp of structure and running length than most directors. As for ST:V, I don't think it was worth the money even trying to fix that film. If I recall there are quite a few cut-scenes in TUC, some of which have already been re-inserted since the theatrical release. So we may yet get some extra footage. Generations had a whole bunch of stuff cut out; orbital sky dive, borg nano-probe/torture scene, more nexus & saucer crash stuff plus an alternate death scene for kirk and a closer look at the Shuttlecraft at the end. So I think there is plenty of material there for a special edition or failing that a deleted scenes menu on disk 2. As for the other two I'm not so sure just how much was cut out, it'd probably just be a matter of a few lines here and there, nothing really substantial. Remember that the whole point of the TMP:DE was that the film was never properly finished, aside from the mess that was TFF all the other trek films (as far as I'm aware) were all finished with time to spare. Nemisis I couldn't care less about. That film bored me to tears.

I heard that Shatner asked Paramount for some cash early last year to re-edit TFF, but TPTB weren't willing to cough it up, saying that it wouldn't sell enough copies to justify the expense.
I must admit that I would be interested in seeing what they cut out of FC and Insurrection, but I must agree with Reverend in that I dont think that Nemesis needs a reissue on DVD.

Wow. Please elaborate on this "borg nanoprobe torture" scene.

People who don't know what they're talking about say "I could care less", which of course means the exact opposite of what they intend.

I have never heard anyone say or seen anyone write "I could care less"! It's complete and utter nonsense.

Indeed, and it means all but what they intended (which is another common annoying bass-ackwards phrasing, since most people use "all but" to mean "very, very").
As for my topical two cents, the DS9 packaging in the U.S. is, in my opinion, far better than the TNG packaging. Short of having some wide open space on a table to unfold the thing you can't get to a particular episode easily, whereas with DS9 you just flip and you're there.

Which brings up the point - how does the US packaging look anyway?

You know how, in the movie, Soren comments on Geordi's response to his interrogation by saying "his heart just wasn't in it"? That's a reference to the form of torture used in the novelization in which Soren injects Geordi with those things to stop and start his heart. The scene was also filmed but edited out for gruesomeness, or something.

I agree that Generations has a lot more to offer in regards to added scenes. I rather liked it too, then again compared to Insurrection and Nememsis there's not much of a competition.
I don't know what, if anything, was left out of First Contact. Personally I think it'd be cool if they make the battle with the cube a little long showing the battle before the Enterprise-E arrived. I remember seeing that for the first time being completely amazed.
