Watching seperate portions of Part II in this 'saga' doesn't really do it for me. To me Part II's greatness pretty much lies in the parallel shown between Vito and Michael's life. You see the father rising and his son self-destructing. It was just perfect. But a couple of days ago when the 'flashback' scenes were the first thing to be aired, I just couldn't get that feeling I usually get while watching Part II. Same goes for Michael's story. Something is missing. Even the 'extra' scenes are weird.....u get so used to seeing the same thing over and over for years and to all of a sudden see something new.....its like they don't even belong. Seriously, the only 'deleted' scenes I've enjoyed so far is Michael giving permission for marriage to Sonny's daughter(although, even then, he seems rather out of character).
