Awwww, TOS isn't that great. And I readily admit that there is some brain bleedover from the 2003 series that does attach itself.
But the scenes I listed above? Yup. They are there. I was shocked they were there and actually backed up the DVD to watch them again because I couldn't believe it.
Now, I've seen TOS about a zillion times, thanks to seeing most of the original run as a wee one and a bazillion repeats thanks to the magic of syndication (it ran in syndication almost non-stop for 10 years in Boston area, believe it or not).
Yet, in watching 'Saga' on DVD with scenes fully restored, I was completely shocked because it was, on some level, like watching a completely different show than the one I remembered. I suspect part of it is because the scenes that were cut for syndication are now back in place, and part of it is because I haven't even seen TOS in something like 10 years. End result, I probably notice things now that I didn't notice when I was a kid.
