OK. We’ve been trying to keep this quiet.* But at 8 PM Eastern Time today, we’ll be releasing the teaser for the upcoming season.

Check it out at any of these links:

The teaser will be released simultaneously, or at least within a few seconds of each other, on all these links. Though only one, and I’m not saying which, will be showing the special extended ‘Director’s Cut.'**

This is going to be awesome!***

I presume the director’s cut will work similar to the Star Wars re-releases and include lots of extra CGI lasers.

I hear they CGI’d in a younger version of Frank for the hologram played by Hayden Christianson. Newer fans will like it, but some of the older fans prefer the original version.

Great, now people will be comparing the version from each source frame-by-frame to see if one of them has an extra “Director’s cut” game hint steganographically encoded somewhere.

Not if, but where.
