A.K.A.: The ABC Network Broadcast & Extended Television version
The key feature, here, is the turbolift scene between Kirk and Saavik.
This version hasn't been seen in about 20 freakin' years. Alternate takes, in closeups -
Saavik is hot, Kirk is charming (and well he should be), & the acting is better.
(The DVDs feature the dull theatrical version, a long master shot with blah performances).
This is director Meyer's first shot at his personal cut. While this tv version uses a dirty
print, and the deleted scenes's audio isn't as polished as the Director's Edition dvd, the
one scene is a real treat. This copy isn't ideal quality, but it's quite watchable.
Running Time: 1:55 (and about 35 seconds)

Blaksvn says:
When ABC aired the movie in the mid-80s, excised footage which explained Mr.
Scott's relationship with midshipman Peter Preston (Ike Eisenmann) were
re-inserted by director Nicholas Meyer himself, along with several other small
scenes and character-driven moments.
"I put that together" Meyer told Cinefantastique Magazine in 1992. "It's ironic
as a director of a feature I may not have final cut, but as a director of the
television version, no one cares. Places were I was overruled, rightly or
wrongly; I get to have the last word. It's very dangerous just to put things
back for the sake of putting them back. I am not persuaded that artists are the
best judges of their own work."
Diggity!

One day I found... 10 years had got behind me. Next day was worse.
