Disappointed to see that YouTube has an edited version, so I think I'll wait until the Showtime version. But for those who won't have access to that, it's great that there is a YouTube version to watch.  [snow_smiley]

It will be interesting to see what was cut - I took for granted that the 'editing' was the blurring of nude body parts, etc.

That could be - I clicked the stop button right after it said "The following program has been edited from its original form".

Yeah, and with non-related previews and last season catch-up I was a bit suspicious of the 58+ minute episode length.

I'm seeing ads on Xfinity On Demand for the season premiere of Penny Dreadful being available now. So those lucky enough to have Showtime and On Demand can see it early. They did the same thing last year (when I was lucky enough to have it). But I imagine anyone with Showtime already knows this.

Speaking of "putting new spins" (the above article), I'm absolutely blown away by how witches are represented in this new season.

I watched it again last night, this time on Showtime (right time, right place, lucky me). It is SO beautifully filmed - breathtaking - would that be 'cinematography'? Whoever's vision it is and whoever is responsible for getting it done deserves praise and awards. I have no complaints so far with anything - as per usual the acting is off the charts. Eva's sister has a role this season. I like where everything's going and I am even building affection, (or is it sympathy) for Caliban.

Yeah, Midnite, 'witches' was not at all the word I expected to hear when it was first uttered.

For what it's worth, I watched the episode on Showtime's site yesterday.  The "edit" just seemed to involved blurring out body parts on various nude female actors.  I found this ridiculous but I guess it makes somebody out there happy.

Great show!
