What else? Bk, you will be happy to know I watched the director's cut of THE CREATURE WASN'T NICE. Excellent. To me, it was about getting the extra little moments that are not in SPACESHIP, of which there are plenty. Whether it is John the Trainee getting lost in the halls or Rodzinski making some nutty comment, or the McDonalds thing, there was a lot of added value in this version.
I guess I can see where the SPACESHIP version is tighter at the beginning, but I think one also loses some subtle character development in that version. I definitely don't miss the Japanese movie inserts. One thing I realized is they actually contradict a major plot point, namely, the Doctor repeatedly claims that the creature is the first discovery of life on another planet, but in SPACESHIP, the computer knows the history of the planet, including various "mean dudes" who would qualify as known life forms.
I will say my one SPACESHIP preference is the computer voice, because it seems more substantial and more of a character, if not the grump you intended. While B. Crawford is good, it is hard to hear him at times, and the aloof SPACESHIP vox actually has some funny non-sequitirs not included here.
One question, if you recall: What does John's name tag read?
