I don't know if they've chopped 30 minutes or not. My understanding is that it will be shown here tonight WITHOUT commercials. They did show it with commercials in Austrailia, according to AussieBabe's husband. That might account for the difference in time. We'll see.
I think we're A-OK -- reportedly we will see the same international version.
I computed Aussuebabe's times and extracting commercials -- it fits: 2.5 hours.
