We've noticed that the episode time has been cut back from the usual 44:00 even
 to ~ 41:45. What's the story? Is it just our local affiliate or is this
 universal? It doesn't seem like we're missing anything, other than obvious
 edits to fit that have already been discussed here. What's the story?

Anyway; kudos for an exceptional story. I guess it's back to weekly emotional
 torture for a few weeks, then another vacation from cliffhanger hell until
 January. Then less than 6 months of THE STORY and then... Oh good lord, then
 what? HUH? WHAT ARE WE SUPPOSED TO DO?!?!?

The time hasn't been cut back, unless your local station is cutting out stuff,
 but the time you give second there is correct.  The only change is that we got
 *back* 30 seconds to put into the show after last season, when they dropped
 the Kung Fu promos.
