I just read on IMDB that the version of Postpartum on the Region 2 DVD is only 47 minutes as opposed to 90. I checked my DVDs and its true.
The only logical explanation I can conceive is that, as The Shield isn't very big over here, Channel 5 cut down the finale so it didn't take up too much time on the schedule (I wouldn't know for certain as I've only ever seen the American versions previously), and that this chopped version is the one that was (mistakenly?) pressed onto the DVD.
I'm going to watch it within the next day or two with the commentary on, as I'm wondering how a 90 minute commentary is going to be used on an episode half that length. If the use of the shortened episode is a mistake then the commentary will be out of sync with the onscreen action and will end early, hopefully leading to a product recall and issuing of replacement discs. If, however, it is intentional, then the commentary will fit over the scene perfectly, but may seem as though huge chunks have been taken out.
Either way I'm pissed off, as its a crime to completely obliterate nearly 50% of something as incredible as 'Postpartum', but I hope that it was a mistake and that new discs are pressed and issued to those of us who have bought the set.
I will keep this thread updated with my findings.

That is appalling.
Channel 5 definitely screened it uncut, as it always has done.

I have the dvd but haven't watched it just yet(Im waiting for the right moment ) but looking at my downloaded version here it says it is 69minutes long not 90 minutes. Edit, just checked. You are correct, it is 47 minutes long the bastards Plus they only have 2 deleted scenes for it Im not too pissed though, Im actually looking forward to it so I can guess which scenes are missing Still sucks though Thing is, I didn't watch it on TV so I never knew it was shortened for european audiences. I did notice it for one of the other season finale where it was only 45 minutes long. I think it was season 3 or 4, cant be sure which.

Danny said she'd tell Lee when he gets old enough and asks. Vic is the daddy. Short of drawing us a picture, it was all but said in that ep.
