	I don't think the tapes are untouched - they're simply better than
	before. In the episode you mentioned ("The Menagerie"), at least the
	following two scenes were missing:

	- Landing party dresses up before beaming down to Talos IV. This is
	where we see two technicians operating the transporter. The first time
	we see them, the one at the back is wearing eyglasses, which he has
	taken off the second time he appears.

	- No.1 tells Vina that there actually was a crewman with that name in
	the lost ship and, according to her records she must be n years (i.e.
	very) old.

	However, we *did* see the entire dialogue scene between Pike and the
	ship's doctor, as well as No. 1's attempt to blast the cave entrance
	with a huge laser (which brings up the question: if in Pike's time
	they were using lasers, when did phasers come to being? what does
	"phaser" stand for?)

	Anyway, I believe that *this* butchered version is better than
	the original one :-)
