That's why I stopped myself from sharing it on the Trek BBS ... I think the "Thomas calls Marcus" clip would have ended at least one discussion over there.

Yes, I was tempted to do the same but decided no to following Akiotena request.

The deleted scene still doesn't explain why Marcus has a CGI Constitution class starship in his office and why it has the same registry number of another starship in the movie, but... never mind. After all they deleted the scene, didn't they?

Best,
