producer 1: Not likely...hey, i know! Let's throw in a huge black box, leave it unexplained and totally unrealated to the series thus far, just to make sure the fans we have left are intrigued enough to see the next one! Of course, then we'll have to figure out what's actually in it, but that can come later.

producer 2: Do you really think they're that dumb?

producer 1: We're already up to #5 - what do you think?

bam! O*u*c*h*!
