I am watching Star Trek II: TWOK on ABC and, to be frank, I
am seeing scenes that have never been in any other version
I have seen. (First run, cable, and 16mm at school)

Was this movie re-edited for television to include some
extra dialogue? I know that this was done to ST:TMP, but I
had heard of no plans to do it this time.

Specifically I noticed the following:

	1) In the scene in Kirk's apartment, Bones refers
to the glasses as antique rather than just skipping to the
"usually I recommend Retinox V" line.

	2) Checkov's "creatures in our bodies" line seems
to be longer.

	3) There is now a short scene between Kirk and
Spock immediately after Kirk and party beam up from Regulus
where Kirk explains that David is his son.

	4) When Saavik asks "How do we know that he'll
follow us into the nebula?" Spock replies "Remind me to
tell you sometime about the human ego."



Some of these differences were in the novelization as I
recall. I assume therefore that they were just not shown in
the original release.
