James Tiberius Kirk. The quintessential hound. Although it's not until The Wrath Of Khan that we see his offspring, it's amazing there was only ONE!😂😂 The man just could never keep his fly closed!! 😂😂😂. Which made him the hero of myself and every other adolescent sci-fi nerd! Keep on keepin' on Captain!

Omg, that was Arex!

This is good but the take used in the episode is MUCH better. The director chose the best one. Windom was EXCELLENT!

I never cared for kissy-kissy, and I didn't/don't care for it in Star Trek. Relationship should be purely mental in cerebral shows like this. Sex, even a simple kiss, ruins it. Consequently, contrary to comments, I believe the producers were correct in omitting this scene. There are only so many minutes in a program, and there were far more important scenes to include in this particular episode. There was enough to demonstrate the feelings between Kirk and Edith without this scene. Ok, you mushy folks out there in fandom, go ahead and hate me, doesn't bother me. I've been around long enough to have seen this episode when it originally aired, and I'm sticking with my feelings and thoughts about it.

Joan Collins has relationships with every guy she meets, both on and off of shows.

Kirk loving the very person he is willing to let die for the good of the future. That‘s some cognitive dissonance, I would say. This conflict is virtually unbearable and hard to believe. I think it was better to cut this scene and keep the relationship more on the friend zone.

This entire set of deleted scenes is amazing! New TOS footage after all these years -- I can scarcely believe it! How on Earth did you find these? Do you work in a film vault?

Fred Saberhagen, author of the Berzerker stories, wrote this episode.

Damned Tintius Affected Shatner,Nimoy and Kelly on the set of this episode

I knew, from the James Blish adaptations that this exchange was in the script, but didn't realize they actually shot it...

OMG! Thank you for this wonderful Christmas gift! Like everyone else I never even knew these existed. And like everyone else I'd love to see that director's cut with the deleted scenes restored.

This missing scene fills in the missing pieces and explains "forever" in the title of the episode. It should have been left in but by 1967 standards, it was "too hot" for "family" prime time TV.

Nearly as bad as Code of Honor

Nice edition to the episode. I wish that dialog had been retained, it clearly adds more depth to Uhura's explanation of music. Is it me or is that George Takei's voice in the background with that of Vic Perrin's Nomad? Merry Christmas.

Damned Gorn.

A kind of a scene that they should've crossed out before filming. But then, it is the first ep after all... (yes, this IS the first after the two pilots, not Man Trap)

Oh my god. Sulu getting depth. Well, can't have that. Someday AI will be allowed to give us 100 more Star Trek episodes.

That's wonderful Kirk is really sexual vibes doable XOXO 💋 ❤

“Is that why you love me, because you think I’m a god?” I mean, it IS why Shatner loves himself.

Kirk was born in Iowa, so he must be an American citizen.

There's a similar scene in TAS. Now I see it was in homage to this!

A form of Q?

I wonder if JJ Abrams saw this? It would explain why his Spock and Uhura we’re together. LLAP🖖🏻

Arguably the best episode of Star Trek ever. Some make jokes about Shatner, but he is a very good actor. As is shown in this scene... I'd never seen this take. Thank you!

this one is so corny, I can see what they left it on the cutting room floor, but still marvelous to see this🖖🏻

Now if there's anything from "The Cage" or "Where No Man Has Gone Before" please post. 😄

Wow!!! I'm enjoying this deleted footage, but this certainly could NOT have been broadcasted. Lol! Considering Takei's role in the TZ was not shown either because of stereotypes.

“ those old images on celluloid stuff”😂this is so unlike Sulu, something you would imagine the two actors saying in between takes. Love it though.🖖🏻

Always wondered and found it strange that the Gorn used "Jim" in their invitation. And how did they ever master sewing those uniforms together and master space travel...guess they were just very slow in their mobility, not dumb.

That's like a year's worth of cringe in one minute.

Sabrina Scharf was gorgeous...and was also in a couple of "Hogan's Hero's" episodes about the same time.

In the original Ellison draft, Kirk actually lets Edith fall down the stairs (with non-fatal consequences), since at that point in the story he already knows that she’s fated to die. But in the finale, he is unable to bring himself to allow her death in the accident, which then falls to Spock. This is exactly reversed in the version that aired. Also, in the final draft script (not Ellison’s version) there is a bit of additional dialogue that identifies the author of the poem that Kirk cites with the theme of “let me help.” It’s a long, multiple-syllabic name that sounds vaguely Hawaiian, but Kirk tosses it off as easily and knowingly as we would identifying Willam Shakespeare. I don’t know if it was actually shot or not.

I wonder if this is basically the actual scene we see in the episode. As it plays out, we see Kirk and Spock conversing but what the audience hears is a voiceover “Captain’s log” report by Kirk, finishing just as McCoy shouts “Captain! Over There!”

They should have left this scene in and taken that stupid scene out where the mousey guy disintagrates himself. That scene always seemed pointless to me.

Thank you for these out-takes, again.

Beautiful scene

Again my thanks you carnt surely be a democrat as they don't share anything😊

The chemistry between these two seems to go beyond acting. Magical either way. This scene reminds of the movie classics, Bogie and Bacall, yet completely different characters. The dialogue and warmth just draws you in. Thank you for posting.

This scene makes zero sense given we saw Uhura playing the Vulcan harp in Season 1. Someone must have remembered that.

Hmmm, hoping to someday see if the deleted scene from the Gorn bridge is preserved.

Interesting snippet from one of my favorite episodes. It was always a compelling mystery how hissing lizard people were able to so cleverly fake a message from the base commander in such detail, even addressing Kirk by name and requesting his tacticians.

These “deleted scenes” are fun, even when they’re not. Thank you.

Horta, not Vorta.

Awesome was previously unaired on NBC and please do put out more deleted scenes with "Space Seed" with the great Ricardo Montalbán guest stars as "Khan".

What the hell did I just watch?

Why is it that all these deleted scenes (from all movies and franchises) as far as " image quality" always look like crap?

Good call leaving this one out.

Obviously whatever Spock was playing with his ryll definitely had Uhura turned on.

even the music was great on that series

Amazing!!!!!
