How does this sound? At the start of the film, there is an attack on V'ger by only one Klingon D-7, and then later 3 more come into the story to seek revenge for their lost ship. Then we get two Klingon scenes... I think the Klingons would send in more firepower for revenge.

I like the revenge idea, still presents V'ger as a threat from the first and adds more tension to the middle of the movie besides "What the hell is that thing?"

I'm not so sure on the lack of reactions by the crew to not only have V'ger, but Klingons that deep into Federation space(?). I'm sure if anyone can find the footage, its you since you have access to every piece of footage released for this movie. ;-)

I'm excited for this edit as the more I watch TMP, the more I appreciate it; but I still don't like it, if you know what I'm saying. Maybe some further restructuring to eliminate a lot of the slow-down is what it needs, along with some action without making it a completely different movie.

I have a draft of a change list page ready if you want to use my list-making abilities.
