    Are you kidding? Down here in Maryland they love to chop up Star Trek. In
the last five years I have yet to see "Court Martial" show the complete
speech by Samuel T. Cogley about the rights of humans vs. machines. Half the
time they cut out the part where Kirk tells us with voice over that Sam left
the ship to have Jamie beamed up. And some times they even cut out the
meeting between Kirk and Arleen Shaw (?) and later McCoy in the bar on Star
Base whatever.
    Another nice one they pick on is Tribbles. They seem to like to cut out 
fifteen seconds here, fifteen seconds there, but it all adds up. Shows in
syndication are always cut to get in more commercials.
