*** REPLACE THIS LINE WITH YOUR MESSAGE ***

While watching the TV version of STII, I noticed differences right away.
In the issue of Scotty's nephew,  When STII came out in the theatres
there was a lot of stuff on net about how in the book of STWOK mentioned 
that Preston was Scotty's nephew and it was not in the movie.  The TV version
had that -- remember.

Prior to watching STII on the network I rented STIII
so I got a double dose of ST, (it was great) and I saw STII 5 or 6 times.
There were a lot of different scenes on TV.  I do not know if there were
different theatre versions (I doubt it).  I think they just wanted to make it
different and interesting.  It may be a way of getting people to see it 
again - perhaps a summer rerun of the TV version- who knows.
