Happy Dongzhi all, here's more Riffmas fun: a lossless edit of the Pumaman Tribute Special of just The Pumaman episode in upscaled 1080p glory! 
Many thanks to ocagwdwv for the no-reencode web-download!
As with all bsg4you shares, please try to use the magnet to p2p it and only file locker it temporarily if someone really needs it. Thanks!

This is an MKVtoolNix lossless edit of the Gizmoplex Special A Tribute to The Pumaman isolating just the ENHANCED 1080p upscaled version of MST3K episode 903 The Pumaman.
Since MKVtoolNix can only cut on I-Frames (aka keyframes), the edits could not always be frame accurate like when using a non-linear video editor which would allow cutting on any frame.
The plus to using MKVtoolNix is that it is lossless: the video and audio streams are not decoded for editing and then re-encoded once editing is finished.
This lossless/inaccurate editing ensures the video and audio quality are exactly as good as the source.
2.30.25 = Gizmoplex Special A Tribute to The Pumaman << complete special
1.31.59 = 903.ThePumaman.Vol29.DVDrip.mkv << DVDrip encode
1.31.57 = MST3K 903 ENHANCED The Pumaman 1080p edit.mkv << THIS SHARE
Edit points in MST3K 903 ENHANCED The Pumaman 1080p edit.mkv:
h.mm.ss
0:00:00 start
0:02:42 edit1
0:30:29 edit2 omitted 0.635s=19frames of fade in of the film, noticeable due to clipped dialog "fly!"
0:39:29 edit3
0:57:37 edit4
1:06:31 edit5 omitted 1.702s=51frames of spinning MST Moon, barely noticeable
1:16:32 edit6 omitted 1.234s=37frames of spinning MST Moon, barely noticeable
1:31:57 end.. ~2.07s=62frames shorter than DVDrip
Here is an Audacity screencap with 2x waveforms: the original DVDrip audio on top and the new ENHANCED edit audio on the bottom (ENHANCED is -2.240s shorter):

PS - an invaluable helper tool when doing MKVtoolNix editing was the free, open-source subtitle editing application Aegisub. It has two keyframe features that help finding the edit points for MKVtoolNix:
1) run Aegisub, drag in video, menu, Video, Save Keyframes - saves text file of all video keyframe numbers << nice to have
2) run Aegisub, drag in video, menu, Video, Detach Video, 100percent, shift-left.arrow shift-right.arrow jumps to I-Frame Keyframe, copy out timecode << super helpful!
