Scent of Roses Syndicuts?

Since this is one of the best episodes and just played recently on Sci-Fi, I was wondering if anyone with an original recording could share the scenes that are cut from syndication? Thanks in advance!

I think I can!
Here are a few tidbits:
Michael not wanting to be brought bak down to earth even after Stevie told him that what they were experiencing was a little too perfect to be happening, and there was a thing called reality.
Also, Michael was miffed beyond belief that Durant was singling him out after Devon had called to tell him of Durant's bad scheme to eliminate him.
Michael telling Stevie he was sorry about the cottage explosion and that it was meant for him, and Stevie told him if they killed him, they would kill her, too.
Hope all of that helps you....

The usual montage of SPM pop-outs when kitt enters this mode is trimmed, we don't see the pop-outs..just kitt zooming along after michael presses the button.

The ending where michael hits durant over and over has been trimmed.

I have this on Sci-fi and not sure where Lyn's coming from because all those that Lyn mention, from what I saw, are there.

I've always wondered if the SPM trim on this episode was in the original as well, since we don't see the deactivation of SPM either? This particular trim seems more natural then the others on Sci-Fi, so maybe it was there originally. I've always thought that the producers thought, ah, they've seen this enough times by now...

I don't remember the scenes that Lyn stated, so it's a good excuse for me to watch it again! Thanks Lyn!

No, the spm activate/deactivate montage was definetely trimmed because I also have another version that was shown here in the UK on Bravo and it had the montages.

Cool! That's good to know, the transformation never got old to me even if it was recylced footage, at least the sound effects varied slightly from one transformation to another...

What about the deactivation? I kind of doubt that it was trimmed since Michael was in a hurry to catch the criminals and told KITT to button up himself...

I don't get the sci fi network here in Canada, but I hear they really like to "trim" around the edges so-to-speak.

Your typical 48 minute episode is more like 40 minutes!

The SPM sequence was completely trimmed from syndiacation, not just on sci fi.
