I had the opportunity to talk about this release with Roger Lay Jr., who supervised with the Okudas the Roddenberry Vault project (along with all the other recent Star Trek Blu-ray releases). He assured me that there is nothing else. They didn’t left out anything of value, all the new materials found in Roddenberry’s reels (and they’ve checked all of them) was included. And there was no sing of the bloopers reels.

I believe that’s true, as that’s what I’ve heard as well: their intent was to use all the footage on this release, and they apparently did use it all.

But regarding the blooper reels, did Roger Lay actually mention them specifically? Because we know they exist, and they’re out there…it’s just a question of whether anyone knows where the original reels are. And even if they don’t, I imagine they could still locate the next best copy and clean them up for inclusion as well. Not sure why they didn’t. Did they even try?
