Censored Ending Credits in Season 4?!

[LuckyLadybug]

I had Disc Four of Season 4 out from Netflix and was watching it this morning. I quickly noticed that something was different about the pictures behind the closing credits on every one of the four episodes. While I thought that normally at the end they show the freeze-frames from the end of each act, on this disc as the cast and crew list ran they showed the pictures from the opening credits, with one exception. Instead of the limp hand of the guy Jim shoots, they show the guy's gun (which he dropped when Jim shot him).

What's up with that? I was sure the rest of season 4 didn't have any of those pictures for the ending, but have I just not paid attention? And why change the limp hand being there? They showed it at the beginning and at the freeze-frame points, so I don't get why they replaced it with the gun during the closing credits.

I just took a glance at the end of Big Blackmail and Doomsday Formula (Season 4, Disc 1), and the end credits are as you described on those as well. I'd never really noticed that myself.

Interesting, Ladybug. I have Season 4 at home, so I am going to have to put the disc in the DVD player and check this for myself.

Thanks Zimmerman, I was gonna do the same thing.

You are welcome.

Very interesting reply on the other forum! That's intriguing, to think the reason for the gun may have been aesthetic. I didn't really consider that.
