During my last semester of college I took an unusual science lab. We watched science fiction movies, read stories, and wrote papers. This was one of the movies. But the professor did zip through a few minutes. Yes, we watched it on VHS. I got an A in that class. Sadly, the professor died of cancer not long afterwards.

@tsntana ABC also usually ran a demo of closed-captioning on the Caption 2 channel, and a schedule of all captioned shows on broadcast and cable on the Text 1 channel (which my new TV can't display.) ABC was the first network to support closed-captioning, I have a recording from 1980 where they're testing it out during a show.

It's in the 1983 video release, called the "Special Longer Edition." The scene you refer to takes place just after Kirk leaves the bridge to fetch McCoy. Decker asks Sulu to take Ilia "in hand" and Sulu stumbles his way through trying to tell her about the navigation board. Ilia assures him she's sworn to celibacy and promises Decker she'd not take advantage of a "sexually immature species," saying Decker could assure Kirk of that truth.

Thanks for posting KLXT77. Very nostalgic. I have a question, though. Anybody can answer this if you want. "Closed-Captioned for the Hearing Impaired" Back in those days, you had to have a special decoder box in order to receive the captions. Nowadays, pretty much all TV's have built in decoders. In recent days, if I record something from the TV and play it back, I can still receive the captions. My question. In an old vid like this one, can you still receive the captions?
@fixman88

I know this is a blast from the past now that it's 2020, but I'm pretty sure encoding the NTSC video to show on KZitem removed any of the closed-captioning information (it was stored in the blanking interval between frames). It is a digital code, so theoretically it could be extracted, but since TV itself has gone digital I don't know if KZitem is capable of that.

@@fixman88 Man, I forgot I even posted this. Pretty sure when I asked this question, I was still watching on my old Sanyo analog tube TV. And I think I was asking because I was wondering if I were to play the tape this originated from on a VCR and turned the captions on my TV, would the captions show up, or was it a different kind of encoding only receivable from the decoder box. Keep in mind 11 years ago I still had an analog tube TV and a Panasonic VCR. That was "modern" to me and flat screen TVs were "new". I believe I also purchased my second DVD recorder at the time. :)

The extended versions of movies that ABC created would eventually get them in trouble. Both this and the extended version of "The Wrath of Khan" they did were essentially rogue cuts, with no input and/or authorization for neither the directors nor Paramount. But Paramount just more or less let it happen because the first movie was a bomb and who cares (ABC's logic), and for TWOK, the response was so great in favor of it that they just let it lie. And once director Nicholas Meyer actually sat down and took out just one line, he christened ABC's version as official canon. But the movie that got them in hot water was the extended version of "Superman II." The Salkinds were not happy. For obvious reasons, that movie's always been a sore point with them, and they "kindly requested" through Warner Bros. that ABC never broadcast it again. And they didn't. In fact, that would be the last time they did that without first consulting with the producers or the studios.

Interesting times. Star Trek was only made into a movie because of the success of Star Wars & Close Encounters. If those hits hadn't been made & been so popular back then, Movie versions of other pop culture icons w / never have taken place. " Star Trek : Phase II " wouldn't have been recycled into ST: TMP, w / better sequels, & Superman wouldn't have become a big - budget movie, either. Christopher Reeve would've probably continued on soap operas & so - so movies.
