Its more of a curious thing for like I said, I havent watched them in so long...I cant remember what the differences would be.

I don' know of any specific pages, but as a lifelong Trekker...off the top of my head:
FX shots:
- A new CGI opening shot on Vulcan.
- At Spock, Kirk, & McCoy's first meeting where the window once showed a starfield now has a view of the nacelles
- A shot of V'Ger's second torpedo attack on the E that shows the topedo disintegrating.
- The soundstage scaffolding that's painfully evident as Kirk steps out for his spacewalk has been fixed.
- Shot of a bridge being created between the E and V'Ger that the crew walks accross. Another shot of it and them moving as they escape.
A new audio track that basically consists of new 'computer' sounds for the ship.
- Some scenes slightly edited.
The TC is also missing the scene where Spock gives his "I weep for V'Ger as I would a brother." speech.
Trek II: DE extensions.
Most are very small, and quite frankly, I think are better off gone.
- During Kirk's inspection tour, he's introduced to Midshipman Preston. This is fast in the TC. In the DE we hear him suggest that Kirk is as blind as a Tiberian Bat and we learn he's Scotty's nephew.
- The DE extends the argument between Kirk and McCoy about Genesis. In the TC there is no exchange from McCoy, "In the wrong hands? You mind telling who's the RIGHT hands my logical friend?"
- In the TC after Scott's nephew dies the scene ends immediately after Scotty's, "He stayed at his post when the trainees ran." There's no him asking Kirk why or Kirk's response.
- In the DE as Kirk makes his way to the bridge after being beamed back from the Genesis cave we see him climb through the same ladder area that Spock later uses to get to Engineering telling Spock, "That young man is my son." That is not in the TC.
The only other difference in any of the films is in The Undiscovered Country there's a scene, I believe it's just before Kirk's trial, where Valeris slides down a fireman's pole and she Spock and Scotty have a talk in the Torpedo Room. That's not in the TC.
Hope this helped a little.
