*Raises Hand*

I know it's not THAT different from the aired version, just a few small scene extensions and different musical cues, but being a die-hard Trekker it would be an interesting oddity. And since you mentioned you had the DVD, would you able to make copies for your fellows fans? I much prefer hard copies to downloads, but if you can't I understand.

Unfortunatally, the WNMHGB only came in vcd, and the mpeg for it, as far as I can see. Probably because the multi-generational tape of the shown-to-NBC version was poor quality. (It really sticks out against the dvd-source). If there's a DVD version, I don't seem to have it. I actually thought I did, but at least I'm glad I didn't say I did. :-)

It's fun to hear "Terrible. Having... 'bad blood', like that." followed by "But you may learn to enjoy it, someday." He played the back shot of Kirk's head very slowly, for the extra line, so he wouldn't have to splice in the tape. (Everyone moves in slo-mo).

The extremely long Captain's log, for the entire teaser, is nice.

And there's a bit where Gary grabs at the air, behind Yeoman Smith.
Is he gesturing a "****! Just missed talking to her." Or did he try to get into her thoughts?
(For those who haven't still-framed their way through the dossiers on Spock's viewscreen - Gary is quite telepathic to begin with, at least with the telepathic Denebians).

Then there's an unusual camera angle. Extra shots. Haven't studied it for the musical cues, that sounds interesting. Seems to me that the cuts were probably for running-time's sake. Looks like its all within the first few minutes.

I'm glad they ditched the "Act 1, Act 2..." stuff. It worked for Quinn Martin, but it doesn't feel Trek-like, IMO.

I wonder if Paramount still has the negatives to those bits? In the Compendium, Asherman says: "It was probably this print that Gene Roddenberry later presented to the Smithsonian Institution...". I imagine the security's really tight there. Sigh. :-)

He did something with the Cage, but apparently it was before I got the other stuff.

Er... right... back to the subject. One request is good enough for me. :-) I'll be posting it... Real Soon Now (tm). :-) Probably 2 or 3 days. Same groups.

Hard copies, eh? I... resist that suggestion. :-) You can PM me, tho'. What's your reasons, whatcha got to trade, you want files, or finished? and so on. If I send you (a) disc(s), you can send when you get them, so I can take my sweet time. :-) Or you could PIF someone.
In Thy Image is going up right now, so I imagine you want an answer before it rolls off your server. :-)
