@ TheWheelie24:

Arrow2010 makes a good point. There's an adage in television :

Previews Always Lie.

Well, maybe not always, but often enough that you have to be careful. It is much too easy to take a quote out of context and make it look completely different from what it actually is.

One of my siblings used to watch a soap opera that was notorious for this. In one storyline, a character named Max was running a con job in which he fooled an extremely wealthy old man into believing that Max was the son he had given up for adoption as a baby.

In one promo, Max was seen telling the old man, "I'm not your son."

In the actual episode, Max was talking to him about a woman who had been causing trouble for them, and said, "She was going to try to convince you that I'm not your son."

It wasn't even the complete sentence, just the last part of it.

As Arrow2010 said, context is everything.
