Star Trek: Deleted Scene - The Doomsday Machine - "Commodore Decker Was Begged By His Crew For Help". "The Doomsday Machine" was written by Norman Spinrad, and directed by Marc Daniels. In this deleted Star Trek (TOS - The Original Series) scene, Commodore Matt Decker (William Windom) has an alternate take, with Captain James Kirk (William Shatner) asking him questions, of camera. This deleted scene has alternate dialogue from Matt Decker (William Windom), who does an absolutely brilliant job of acting, where, you actually feel his pain, for the loss of his entire crew, on a planet that was devoured by The Doomsday Machine. Enjoy.

That’s like Michael J. Fox in the Back to the Future series scene where he tells the kid the Honeymooners show with Jackie Gleason and Art Carney and the space invaders 1950s episode was not a rerun.
The kid asks, annoyed: “What’s a rerun?”
“You’ll find out.”
For later
BTTT
Arguably the best episode of the entire original series.
