Finale to Season 5 - is loads of stuff missing?


I just finished S5. On the DVD set there's a documentary about the last episode, where there's a bunch of stuff about Sofer having her baby. I don't remember seeing any of this in the final episde (5-11). Was it cut? If so, why, and what else was cut?

The region 2 DVD release had a shortened version of that episode for some reason. The region 2 version is 48 minutes while the original episode is 67 minutes.

Please stop.

Oh wow. That's a big chunk to cut out.

Let's be bad guys.

Yeah. Region 2 got boned a lot with The Shield. There were censored parts in all the seasons, but this is the worst. I particularly remember the Armadillo beat down being pretty heavily censored in R2 as well. But most of those cuts were for violence.

Not sure if this incident was an oversight or what happened....

Please stop.
