There already has been quite the debate about whether it was necessary for the Creators to do this alteration. Many thought it did not do much harm by adding that one still frame. However, some thought it was an effort to draw fans in through deception. I believe that it really didn't harm anything and was alright as long as they do not make habit out of altering vids to the extreme. They mainly did it IMO to:

1) draw focus to this one vid because it was a crucial moment in the series.

2) to attract new viewers at the same time by using a better thumbnail shot.

Having Daniel explain in a message why this was done helped a lot too i think. If there wasn't a message then it would have been a poor decision. Anyways lets not get a heated deal going again though..

I think BK locked it because everything was mostly already said about the topic. I thought it was interesting debate also and wouldn't mind seeing more of it as long as it didn't get nasty.

I could certainly unlock it now and let folks talk about it. My concern was the tone of the original post, and when people replied, they naturally took either a complimentary or attacking tone, so things got a little too heated. I think it's an interesting issue, though. I'll unlock the thread there (with the request that we discuss it as an issue and not get accusatory in either way). You can discuss it here:
