this is strange, supposedly the creator "requested" that ep 4 be pulled, but only from the USA and Canada

it will be shown worldwide

and NBC posted a censored version for USA and Canada

Happens all the time after a tragedy. Hell I could list all the post 9/11 things that were cancelled or rescheduled because of it but would run out of space on the forums. :P

What kind of crap is this? A tiny tiny percentage of people were affected by Boston and Newtown, yet two entire countries of 350 million people can't watch the episode because of it? It's the broadcast version of pulling pressure cookers off the shelves. It really only benefits NBC by publicity.
