did you read anything Prince or Kung said? They both made cases against using promo photos. We've also yet to hear from Nat, so you can't try to say this issue is resolved lol Whoops, sorry for being late to this discussion! Well, my opinion on it is in agreeance with what Kung said--some of the promotional image stills were photos taken on set, but some are not actually featured in an episode from the particular angle a snapshot of the photo was taken. It's my opinion that I think the episode infobox image should reflect the pivotal scene from the episode in question. Example: The Cricket Game. The photo on that page best fits the scene from the episode which also reflects best on the episode title, and captures the essence of what the episode is about. A promo still photo that was captured from a different angle than how it was featured in the episode would not.

I do not believe promotional stills should be in the infobox templates. The promo stills are first released when the episode hasn't aired yet, so we cannot distinguish between which photos were taken from a different angle than the angle the scene was filmed in, so that gets messy.

As for the promotional video, while the promo video itself does show clips from the next episode, I am not in favor of those photos staying up permanently because of their odd shape. Those screencaps are smaller than the episode still photos, which I dislike. To me, it looks bad visually. However, I would not mind them being used until an actual episode still which fits the episode is offered up for changing.
