But now I know where those scenes came from in the COMIC BOOK version I bought after seeing the movie. It had Spock crying for V'ger's impending desctruction, along with Kirk & Scottie preparing the engines for that eventuality. I wondered why these neat items were not in the film itself. In fact, on weeing the movie I wondered why it never occurred to the crew to rig for self-destruct, a tactic used with great effect in the TV episoe "Planet Eater" (on another, more-than-slightly used starship, of curse). SO THOSE GREAT SCENES WERE IN THERE ALL THE TIME! Damn the SOB with the scissors! Well I always knew ST-1 was better than everyone thought.... mike k
