Also known as a Cold Opening or "Cold Open". A one to five minute mini-act at the beginning of the show, most of the time before the opening credits, that is used to set up the episode and catch the audience's attention.
In a Monster of the Week show such as The X-Files, the teaser usually contains the first Red Shirt of the episode. In a Crime and Punishment Series, it usually contains the first murder or the body of a victim being discovered. It has become something of a fashion, particularly on crime shows, to end the cold open with a Quip to Black.
Though it technically does not really set up the plot, as there is usually no lengthy continuous plot, the first sketch right before the opening credits in sketch comedy shows like Saturday Night Live and MADtv is also called a cold opening. (The show Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip actually had an episode titled "Cold Open" in which the writing of such a sketch is a plot element.) Non-sketch entertainment programming often also uses a comedy sketch as a Cold Open.
The teaser has been used by many series since the 1950s. Today, nearly every American show has a teaser (to get viewers hooked before they can consider changing channels). Many British shows still don't use the technique (what's more, until the 1980s The BBC would actually re-edit most American shows to put the teaser after the opening titles), but it is increasing in prominence.
When US shows are broadcast on British commercial channels the first commercial break is not usually placed after the opening title but about 8-12 minutes in. However, some more recent series like Lost have such long teasers that the commercial does immediately follow the title (or, more rarely, actually precedes it).
Although the term is usually reserved for television, the practice is now prevalent in comic books, having crept into the medium in the mid-80s and grown popular through the 90s. While older comics tend to have the title and credits on the first page, most modern comics now wait until three-to-five pages in, for a suitably dramatic moment. Some comics vary this by introducing the title at the end of this issue (eg. "Shoot", a lost issue of Hellblazer) or sometimes square in the middle.
Subtropes:

Action Prologue: also known as a Bond Opening Sequence.
Batman Cold Open
Danger Room Cold Open
Dramatic Chase Opening
Prolonged Prologue
Teaser-Only Character

If the teaser depicts events that come at the end of the show, it can set up a How We Got Here or Once More, with Clarity. Not to be confused with The Tease. Contrast The Stinger, which is shown after the show, not before it.

Fight Club opens with a close up (cellular level) of how the human body sweats before zooming out to show Edward Norton with a gun between his teeth with a voice over saying "People are always asking me if I known Tyler Durden". The rest of the film from then on is a recap of the last year or so of his life to how he ended up in that position.

Sapphire and Steel actually delivered its teaser in the middle of the Title Sequence: a short sequence showing the title and stars was shown, followed by The Teaser, after which the rest of the sequence (with the Theme Tune and Opening Narration) was shown. Such a style of opening (title both before and after the cold open) is more common these days. "Pure" teasers only appeared in the first episode of each story, with later episodes reprising the events leading up to the previous episode's cliffhanger.

Space Ghost Coast to Coast does this almost every episode. In one particular case, the episode "Joshua" is a super long cold opening promoting "Space Ghost 2000". The actual episode consists of the winners of the "Haikuin' for Space Ghost" contest reading their haikus, and that's about it. "Gallagher"'s cold opening consisted solely of Space Ghost shouting "They've invented the telephone?!", with no lead-up or follow-through, and with no relation to anything in the episode.

KH2 has Xemnas and Roxas' cryptic conversation on the Dark Beach. Xemnas tells Roxas that he went to see "him". Him is Sora, the main protagonist of the series. Roxas is the Nobody of Sora. Xemnas fights Sora as a bonus boss in Kingdom Hearts Final Mix, available only on the 1.5 version in English, so the cutscene wouldn't make sense unless you know about the bonus boss.

Tales of Monkey Island, developed by LucasArts and Telltale Games, is the first game in the Monkey Island series to have playable cold openings in five chapters... sort of. Chapter 1, for example, has a playable intro that can be accomplished with help from instructions before the main title starts. Chapter 3 has a VERY long playable cold opening consisting of a few tasks and an "Answer the question" minigame before the chapter's title starts. Chapter 4, on the other hand, only has the shortest playable cold opening, where you only have to select a topic before the chapter's title starts.

Nearly every episode of House starts with a cold open showing the new patient getting sick.
The writers often try to make the patient unexpected by having someone show signs of illness before the real patient collapses. For example, at the beginning of one episode, Cuddy takes a drink of water and starts to cough; but in the background, another character suddenly falls off a roof.
House even plays with double Red Herrings, such as the opening that follows a young girl diving off a high dive, who is motionless underwater for some time, and then resurfaces to see that someone else has collapsed. Then it's revealed that she wasn't the Red Herring, the other guy was: something is wrong with the diver after all.

Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty was more circumspect about it. The opening titles roll before the main menu comes up, and you play a mission on a Tanker (where, again, the title pops up as soon as we see Snake's face for the first time). It led many people into thinking it was the proper game - but it was a prologue, and the main meat of the game was later on, with a different main character. However, if you chose a specific option before starting the game, the game would skip the Tanker prologue & start with Raiden, the character who replaces Snake as the main character, going through a similar infiltration to the prior game, and the title appearing on the same cue.

Yo-kai Watch uses cold openings. The episodes that consists of 1 or 2 segments show a few minutes of the first segment before the introductory sequence centering on the Yo-kai Watch itself, which then leads to the opening theme. Meanwhile, the episodes that consists of 3 or 4 segments shows the entire first segment (usually 5 minutes long) before the introductory sequence.

Since Shippuuden, Naruto started using these, though it technically got its start at the tail end of Part I for its finale arc. They kinda overused it in the very first episode, which began with a foreshadowing of episode 30 or so, a crucial moment to the plot.

Aqua Teen Hunger Force used cold openings featuring Dr. Weird, who would create experiments that would wreck havoc for the Aqua Teens in the show. This lasted three episodes, until Dr. Weird became a nonsensical opening. He was later replaced by the Poorly Disguised Pilot of Spacecataz. One last Dr. Weird cold opening appeared in the Season 8 episode "Allen Part One".

The Muppet Show: Each episode from seasons 2-4 would begin with Scooter knocking on the guest star's dressing room door, calling the star's name, and announcing the number of seconds remaining until curtain time. Scooter's appearance was then followed by a short quip or visual gag involving the guest star. In season 5, the cold open was changed to show the guest star entering the theater and talking briefly to Pops.
Similarly, Muppets Tonight also used cold openings, which, unlike The Muppet Show, didn't always take place in the same location or always have the guest star.

While some have occasionally acted as a Lead In ("Terror on Dinosaur Island" has Plastic Man in both segments), they're usually short, self-contained adventures featuring a hero we might see again in a later episode.

The Metal Gear games start off with Snake performing an infiltration and then cut to a credit sequence between 5-20 minutes into the game, as a pastiche of the James Bond movies which spawned the whole idea of them. In more detail:
In the first Metal Gear Solid, you have to wait around in a dock area while the credits play, superimposed on the screen. When they're done you're free to enter the elevator to the next area, where Snake removes his mask and the logo comes up on screen as we see his face for the first time.
Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty was more circumspect about it. The opening titles roll before the main menu comes up, and you play a mission on a Tanker (where, again, the title pops up as soon as we see Snake's face for the first time). It led many people into thinking it was the proper game - but it was a prologue, and the main meat of the game was later on, with a different main character. However, if you chose a specific option before starting the game, the game would skip the Tanker prologue & start with Raiden, the character who replaces Snake as the main character, going through a similar infiltration to the prior game, and the title appearing on the same cue.
Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater was the most blatant. There was a very short, fifteen or twenty minute gameplay segment before the game started for real, heralded by a lengthy Cutscene, an offer to save, and the unlocking of the fantastic opening title movie, which played then and there and would now play every time the game was booted. The style of the opening sequence combined with the Cold War setting and the timing clearly marked it out as a homage to Bond's delayed starts.

Conker's Bad Fur Day goes so far as to not even have a title screen. Booting up the game goes through the copyrights and developer logos as one might expect, then straight to the file selection menu. The game's title and logo displays only during the story introduction sequence when starting a new playthrough, at the end of a How We Got Here opening scene. The narration of said scene even accompanies the game's title displaying with a Title Drop at the same time to boot.

Frequently played with on Ultra Fast Pony. The teaser in "Stay Tuned" is framed like a Previously on… segment in a cop show the show is suddenly parodying and takes up most of the episode's runtime. In "Forgettershy", the teaser keeps going because the characters forgot to do the intro sequence, leading to them sticking the theme song in the middle of the climax when they finally remember. "I am Pinkie" probably sets the record for the shortest teaser ever, lasting only three seconds.

Marvel Cinematic Universe:
The title card of Iron Man is preceded by Tony Stark's capture by Afghan rebels using weapons he developed himself. The movie then backtracks 36 hours to show a story-within-a-story recap of Tony's life and an introduction to his playboy ways.
In Guardians of the Galaxy (2014), the Marvel Studios Vanity Plate appears after the opening scene telling Peter Quill's origins.
Captain America: Civil War began with a scene in 1991, depicting one of the Winter Soldier's early missions.
Spider-Man: Homecoming places the prologue establishing the Vulture's origins in between the Columbia Pictures and Marvel Studios logos.
Spider-Man: Far From Home repeats this with Nick Fury and Maria Hill (actually Talos and Soren) investigating a destroyed Mexican village before encountering Quentin Beck and Sandman.
Avengers: Infinity War starts with a 10-minute sequence on the Asgardian refugee ship after the Marvel Studios Vanity Plate appears. Only after this sequence does the title card appear, accompanied by the Avengers Leitmotif.
Avengers: Endgame, uniquely, doesn't open on the Marvel Studios logo. Instead, it opens on a scene of Clint with his family just before the end of Infinity War, wherein Thanos's Snap causes him to lose his wife, two sons, and daughter. After that, the Marvel Studios logo sequence plays, and then there's another couple of scenes of Tony and Nebula getting back to Earth and the remaining Avengers rallying to track down Thanos, before the opening title.
Eternals begins with the Eternals waking up on their ship and landing on Earth in 5,000 BCE. In Establishing Character Moments, the five combat-oriented team members defend the humans of Mesopotamia from Deviants, and after the Deviants are killed, the remaining Eternals arrive to heal up the team and interact with the humans. The last scene before the cut to the Marvel Studios logo is Sersi giving a boy a decorated knife as a gift.

Farscape had one in every episode, either to set up the plot or theme of the episode, or, sometimes, just to have a joke at the characters' expense. Each one would always end with the crew being attacked, captured, or put in some other form of distress, causing the music to turn into the opening of the Theme Song.

Many of the early episodes of The Life and Times of Juniper Lee had teasers that didn't relate much to the plot, except for maybe one mention of where the main part of the story starts. One episode, "It Takes a Pillage", had a teaser which appeared to be setting up the Monster of the Week by showing him and having him monologue, but right at the point the monster's supposed to say his name, June conks him with a stone.

The teasers usually consist of characters talking to the audience, by giving anecdotes on a topic related to the episode.

Star Trek. Teasers could run as long as over six minutes ("Ship in a Bottle") to as short as under 20 seconds ("Impulse", "Scorpion").
Star Trek: The Next Generation frequently opened with scenes that had nothing to do with the main plot, just some interaction between some characters before they get called to the bridge and the teaser ends with the real plotline of that episode. Deep Space Nine and Voyager did this to a lesser extent, but Enterprise gave up on that practice entirely and featured teasers that were unusually short.
The TNG Episode "Cause and Effect" is particularly notable for having one of the most shocking teasers of all time- it opens with the Enterprise critically damaged, causing it to explode with all hands aboard 45 seconds into the episode. The episode is about the ship being stuck in a "Groundhog Day" Loop which they eventually escape from alive.

Tucker & Dale vs. Evil plays with this. The cold open, showing a TV reporter and her cameraman being murdered by a disfigured slasher, actually occurs after all the events of the film, and it's left entirely to the viewer to realise later or on a second viewing, that it's actually a The End... Or Is It?.

NCIS does the same. It works well with crime shows as the introduction of the episode's case usually fits right into the opening segment. (Beware, however, when the cold opening actually shows the main characters or the home base - it means that the case will directly involve them, as seen in "Bête noire".) The very same formula was also used in JAG.

Similar to Law & Order, CSI does this, often showing a bystanders view of the murder or the (attempted) disposal of the body or someone finding said body. Like Lenny Briscoe, Gil Grissom (or D.B. Russel after season 11) almost always gets to say the One-Liner before the opening credits. The spinoffs are the same way.

Boy Meets World used this once, in Season 5's "No Guts, No Cory" by playing the opening titles after the setting had shifted from 1997 to December 9, 1941 & Mr Feeny had made the anouncement that Pearl Harbour had been bombed. The episode itself was part of a crossover between the TGIF shows in which Sabrina the Teenage Witch's Salem had swallowed a ball that sent the to a different time period, and proceeded to run amok by heading to the other shows in the line-up.

The title card of The Lion King (1994) follows a majestic scene of Simba's parents presenting him to their subjects. In the DVD commentary, the directors recall they feared audiences would not read the simplistic title card after enjoying such an epic song.
Some Disney Animated Canon movies actually begin this way, starting with The Rescuers. Others include The Black Cauldron, The Great Mouse Detective, The Little Mermaid, The Rescuers Down Under, Beauty and the Beast, Pocahontas, The Hunchback of Notre Dame, Hercules, The Emperor's New Groove, Atlantis: The Lost Empire, Lilo & Stitch, Chicken Little, Bolt, The Princess and the Frog, and Tangled.
Pixar examples include the first Toy Story film, Finding Nemo, The Incredibles, Cars, Ratatouille, WALL•E, Up, Cars 2, and Turning Red.
Non-animated canon examples include Doug's 1st Movie and Recess: School's Out.

All the Law & Order shows use a cold open, with a stock opening title card and narration. The action is either the crime itself or the discovery of a body, and thirty seconds of the detectives opening the investigation. While Jerry Orbach was still with us, almost always ended on a Lenny Briscoe One-Liner.
Law & Order: Criminal Intent rarely showed the main cast in the teaser during the first five seasons. It happened more frequently after original showrunner René Balcer left.

Special case: Ojamajo Doremi opened its episodes with an avant-title that relates to the plot, then the opening titles, then a short scene before the title card. When 4Kids dubbed it for America, they cut out the avant-title and used the short scene before the title card as the Cold Opening instead. Sometimes, they cut out the short scene entirely, meaning that in those episodes, the show starts with the opening titles.

The main story mode for Splatoon 3 ("Return of the Mammalians") doesn't have the Splatoon 3 title card appear until after you complete the Crater levels, as part of a meta-Bait-and-Switch regarding how the main campaign will be structured. The Crater plays out like a microcosm of the Hero Modes of prior installments, even ending with a battle against DJ Octavio, who was the Final Boss of those titles, before the rest of the game takes on a more open, free-form approach similar to the second game's "Octo Expansion" DLC.

The West Wing nearly always has a few minutes-long opening scene before the credits that can vary greatly in style from episode to episode. Most often, it is a set-up of one or more of the headaches the characters will have to deal with, and/or a recap of various issues that have come up within the last few episodes or the current season, usually titled "Previously, on The West Wing". Other times, it is a self-contained scene that is only loosely attached to the plotline; a humorous episode-related clip that ends on a gag of some kind; or simply a shortened extra act. Only a handful of episodes in the entire series have not a Cold Opening, immediately opening with the credits and the episode title, throwing the audience into cold water.

Preacher would sometimes spend half an issue on a cold opening, or even wait until the last page to introduce the title and credits. Mostly, however, it stuck to a three-to-four-page intro, then the title.

Avengers: Endgame, uniquely, doesn't open on the Marvel Studios logo. Instead, it opens on a scene of Clint with his family just before the end of Infinity War, wherein Thanos's Snap causes him to lose his wife, two sons, and daughter. After that, the Marvel Studios logo sequence plays, and then there's another couple of scenes of Tony and Nebula getting back to Earth and the remaining Avengers rallying to track down Thanos, before the opening title.

In the first Metal Gear Solid, you have to wait around in a dock area while the credits play, superimposed on the screen. When they're done you're free to enter the elevator to the next area, where Snake removes his mask and the logo comes up on screen as we see his face for the first time.

Most of the games in the Final Fantasy series open with an action sequence or other story based sequence before the opening credits and logo come up. The original has a Cold Open with a plot remarkably similar to some entire games: "Oh, good, the heroes are here. The princess has been kidnapped. Take care of that, would you?" The plot only gets going after you rescue Her Majesty and acquire the Lute. Final Fantasy Tactics begins by asking you to pick your character's name and birthdate, followed by a beautiful Scenery Porn introduction, with the title appearing midway through the FMV sequence.

The cold open of Jay & Miles X-Plain The X-Men generally begins with a simple (and not that relevant to the episode proper) question about comicbook continuity, which gets a weird answer, which prompts another question, which gets a weirder answer, and this goes on until the whole thing escalates into a Big "WHAT?!" or rarely Flat "What".

Game of Thrones features a literal Cold Open in its pilot, showing three Night's Watchmen encountering the White Walkers. Open returns in Season 3 (literally, again) and Season 4 premieres, as well as in episode 7 of Season 6.
The fourth season premiere begins with a "Previously on…" which ended on Ned Stark's execution in S1 by his own sword Ice which leads into a cold open with Tywin Lannister having the blade melted down and made into two and then throwing the scabbard into a fire, symbolizing the Lannisters' victory over the Starks.
Season 6, episode 7, interestingly, begins with a cold open to avoid spoiling itself: the episode begins with the return of long-thought-dead Sandor Clegane, whose actor, Rory McCann, is listed in the opening credits. The opening was moved back a bit as to not spoil the surprise.

Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater was the most blatant. There was a very short, fifteen or twenty minute gameplay segment before the game started for real, heralded by a lengthy Cutscene, an offer to save, and the unlocking of the fantastic opening title movie, which played then and there and would now play every time the game was booted. The style of the opening sequence combined with the Cold War setting and the timing clearly marked it out as a homage to Bond's delayed starts.

UFO (1970) uses a variation in which the opening theme tune montage plays without titles. This is then followed by the opening scene, which ends with the title logo appearing as an animated overlay. The cast and production credits appear as captions in act one. One reason for this may have been the show's rotating cast, meaning that they couldn't use credits with a fixed cast list.

Doctor Who has used it in the show consistently since the 2005 revival, often with someone getting killed by a monster before the cliffhanger "scream" of the theme music.
It appeared only five times before 2005 — "The Ambassadors of Death" (which also debuted the electronic scream sound the show's theme music is famous for including), "Castrovalva", "The Five Doctors" (consisting of a clip from a previous story to allow the late William Hartnell to make an appearance), "Time and the Rani" and "Remembrance of the Daleks"; instead, the original run of Doctor Who used the first episodes of a serial to fulfill the same function as a cold open.
It isn't the coldest opening because (until series 6 in 2011) BBC guidelines required their logo to be placed at the beginning of every episode.
The award for longest teaser would have to go to "The Return of Doctor Mysterio", at 9 minutes 5 seconds.
During Russell T. Davies' tenure as showrunner, episodes introducing a new main companion would forego a teaser — specifically, "Rose" (the first episode of the new series), "Smith and Jones" and "Partners in Crime". The practice was abandoned when Steven Moffat took over.
50th anniversary special "The Day of the Doctor" doesn't have a teaser, instead beginning with the original title sequence from 1963.
"Sleep No More" is the first episode in the show's history not to have the Title Sequence. Instead, the end of the episode's teaser is signified by a brief flash of credits.
Chris Chibnall's tenure mostly eschewed teasers, with Series 11 featuring none at all and "The Woman Who Fell to Earth" and "Resolution" closing on their titles and thus without the Title Sequence. Series 12 began to have a few episodes with teasers (both parts of "Spyfall", "Can You Hear Me?"), but most still lacked them.

Monty Python's Flying Circus has the title sequence start after a man walked up to the screen and said "It's...". This was usually only a few seconds but was sometimes stretched out long enough to be considered a Cold Opening. It also must have set the record for the longest one ever in "Scott of the Antarctic" where the man and the title sequence didn't show up until halfway through the episode. Or perhaps not: In other episodes they waited until the very end to show the opening credits, and occasionally left them out altogether. Which could technically mean that the title credits in the next episode mark the end of the cold open...

Trials of Mana has a normal title screen, but when you actually start the game, you play through your main character's prologue. At the climax of the prologue, your character hops on a boat (or swims across the ocean, in Kevin's case) to set off for adventure, and the credits roll over a tour of the entire world map.

ER cold openers generally focus on interpersonal ties (more than the hustle and bustle of the meat of the show could, anyway). A 12th season episode, "The Gallant Hero & the Tragic Victor", actually kills off a main character in the teaser.

Pokémon: The Series: The English dub did this starting in the second Johto season of Pokémon: The Original Series. In Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl (when the Japanese version started doing this), sometimes clips from later in the episode would play before the opening (which, in the dub, would actually sometimes replace other scenes). The movies also do this as well.

Not counting the whole Desmond recap and setting up a new Animus machine, Assassin's Creed II goes through Ezio's birth, then cuts to when he was 17 and is in the middle of a big street brawl. Then he and his brother go around town (it's the tutorial) before having a race to see who can climb to the roof of the church fastest, before ending with a touching scene of them both looking out towards Firenze as Ezio's theme plays and the title drops. It's a potential Tear Jerker.

Teen Wolf does this both before and after receiving an title sequence. From season 2 onward, each episode's cold open usually leads to a moment that seamlessly transitions into the intense theme song that plays.
A particular notable episode is the season 5 episode Damnatio Memoriae, when Liam pulls Hayden off a cliff and into a ravine. Hayden's scream as she gets yanked downward transitions chillingly into the theme song.

When a Man Loves a Woman opens with Alice (Meg Ryan) sitting in a café in the afternoon as a random guy tries to pick her up when Michael (Andy García) interrupts by asking her to take care of his laundry, pretending to be some random guy who will bake her carrot cake in exchange for this favor. Then it turns out they're actually married, and the guy moves on to another woman. This takes place for five minutes, after which we get the opening credits. Near the end of the movie, Michael again pretends to be some random guy when approaching Alice in a public place.

Cyberpunk 2077 doesn't display the title card until the conclusion of Act 1. This makes more sense if you strictly follow the main plot and get to the end of Act 1 within a few hours. But since it gives you access to a decent portion of the game's open world after the prologue, this can lead to the absurd situation where you see the title card after playing the game for over 20 hours.

Mekakucity Actors:
Several episodes open on Shintaro and Ayano sitting in a world full of clockwork gears, talking vaguely about how he's 'forgotten it all again' and how she will 'tell him the story, one more time'. The cold open in this case works so well in part because of how confusing it is.
Episodes 6 and 7 (which are primarily Flashbacks) open with Takane/Ene running through the city as it is destroyed and Takane finally reaching the hospital to see if Haruka is alright, respectively.
Any Episode that opens with an Insert Song counts too.

Breaking Bad used these to great effect in multiple ways besides as the continuation of the previous episode's cliffhanger. The first two seasons mostly use straight cold opens (though one is a music video about Walt's Heisenberg persona) but seasons 3, 4, and 5 frequently featured flashbacks that feature a dead character, added depth to the series' world, shed light on certain themes of that episode, or showed/alluded to an event that occurred later in the episode but without context to make the viewers guess what happened and how it got to the point.
In a particularly brutal case: season 5, episode 14 - the climax of the series - runs through its entire first act before the opening titles.

Each of The Lord of the Rings film runs the main title immediately following the Vanity Plate, but the instalment title follows a prologue. The first one gave a few thousand years' worth of Backstory, the other two were more standard flashbacks. The director deliberately wanted to emulate a James Bond teaser for the first film, which resulted in an epic battle scene that would be called back to in the climaxes of parts two and three.
Ditto with The Hobbit's first installment, with an epic backstory opening.

Kingdom Hearts;
After Kingdom Hearts, the games all following have had a short montage that recapped what happened, and then a scene afterwards that doesn't make much sense unless you know certain things...sometimes you won't discover secrets until you've played different games in the series, and not just the main ones.
KH2 has Xemnas and Roxas' cryptic conversation on the Dark Beach. Xemnas tells Roxas that he went to see "him". Him is Sora, the main protagonist of the series. Roxas is the Nobody of Sora. Xemnas fights Sora as a bonus boss in Kingdom Hearts Final Mix, available only on the 1.5 version in English, so the cutscene wouldn't make sense unless you know about the bonus boss.
Birth By Sleep shows the back of a young man standing at Destiny Islands, commenting that it was "too small". Later in the game, it becomes clear this man is Master Xehanort before he became a Keyblade Bearer.
358/2 Days begins with Saix's quote from Kingdom Hearts II about the Heartless while panning through Where Nothing Gathers, showing every single member of the Organization before settling on Roxas, then cutting to a scene of he and Axel wondering if he really doesn't have heart and playing the themesong...an odd subversion is that instead of a recap montage of Sora and co., they instead do a countdown of the Organization. Axel is wondering if Roxas has a heart because he seems to genuinely feel emotion. A playthrough of Birth By Sleep will reveal that Roxas inherited the heart of Ventus through Sora because had Ventus' heart as well as his own, and when he became a Heartless, creating Roxas, Ventus' heart became a part of Roxas as well, which is why Roxas looks like him and can wield light despite being a denizen of darkness.
Birth By Sleep is a prequel. It features no recap, but a montage of what they will go through...at one point, Terra's eyes randomly become amber in color... that was an oh so subtle hint that at the end of this game he was going to go from this◊, to◊ this◊, and then finally this.◊
Going through all of the games' teasers would take a very, very, long time. And that's not even getting into the Heart Station Tutorials.

Star Trek: The Next Generation frequently opened with scenes that had nothing to do with the main plot, just some interaction between some characters before they get called to the bridge and the teaser ends with the real plotline of that episode.
