In a Starlog interview titled "The Man Who Killed Spock", after this film was released, Harve Bennett said that: 1. He wrote a scene where Chekov, on the Reliant, calls up data for the Ceti Alpha system, and remembers Khan and tells Terrell. That was written out and became the "you never told your captain the tale" sequence on the planet. 2. The Ceti system was always a binary star system, hence the Alpha. The idea was for planets V and VI to have varying orbits similar to Neptune and Pluto where they would cross in and out of each other's orbits. Thus the confusion. "You thought this was Ceti Alpha VI." The unstable orbits caused the explosion of Ceti Alpha VI. Again, written out. 3. Khan and Kirk were to have fought in the Genesis cave foyer. Khan and his supermen were to have had PSI powers similar to the Talosians from Star Trek: The Cage (1966), and Kirk beats them by simply not believing in it. Khan then beams out with the Genesis torpedo. 4. Radiation causes blood vessels to burst and Spock was written to be covered in green blood. Leonard Nimoy objected, and the result was what you see.
