In regard to 'Rising,' I think they mean the original version of Rising (as shown on DVD and first run on TV), and not the edited syndicated version -- but I could be wrong.
And yes, Paul Mullie mentioned on Joe Mallozzi's blog on January 15 '09 that:
"Todd is very much back to being a full-fledged human life sucker at the beginning of this episode. I realize it wasn't that clear, and a lot of people have asked the question. What happened was, originally in the first scene, when Todd said the treatment was successful he added something about being "fully restored." Woolsey then asked him "does that mean you're back to feeding on humans?" To which Todd responded "I am exactly as I was," or something like that, meaning "damn right I'm back to feeding on humans." But then the network wanted a scene with Keller earlier in the show (as it stands, she only shows up about three quarters of the way through and it's a little jarring), so I cut that dialogue and added a whole separate scene at the top of Act One where Sheppard goes to Keller, who's done an exam on Todd, and SHE tells him he's back to feeding. But then it got cut for time. That scene and several other moments that were trimmed out will be available at some point in a special extended version, I'm guessing on DVD."
