Thanks for sharing such a cogent observation.

I was mostly just observing that it was relatively tropish. I understand the role that tropes play in storytelling and don't have a problem with it, as long as the author does something interesting and/or entertaining with them.

But I'd never before considered the particular need for them in oneshots, and can see it now.
