   This is true.  The studios, in an effort to sell more movies to the
networks closer to the original release date, have been adding scenes
left on the cutting room floor back in.  There were also several scenes
involving peter preston (Scotty's nephew) added back in.  The one
exception to the add it back in syndrome of late was Star Wars last
spring. The only reason that it didn't happen there is that George Lucas
retained enough control over sales, etc. to prevent it.
