...the scene with Spock weeping for V'ger...
..if this was the scene I believe you are referring to, it WAS in the
theater release.

Guess again.  No, neither of the scenes referred to were in the original
theater release of ST:TMP.  I have the first tape, the extended tape,
and saw the film umpteen times in the theater; and can assure you all
that Spock's crying scene was NOT in the theater version; a small
excerpt of Ilia's memory scene with Chapel was ADDED to the second
version, (it was more or less a token scene in sickbay with the head
band in the original release).
