It's funny that those two scenes you mention are missing. I have
watched Star Trek on WPIX for many years and though the episode(s)
was butchered, those scenes were always in there. As for the
other scenes, you seem to be implying that we didn't see the dialogue
or laser scene before. The laser scene was always there, too. However
the dialogue scene, though present, was cut short. It used to have
Dr. Boyce coming in, saying a few things (perhaps setting up his "bar"),
and then a cut to the intercom whistling and Spock reporting that they
have intercepeted a followup message. The entire scene has Pike talking
about fighting on Rigel, being back home, being a trader, etc.
