How exactly do you describe a pivotal moment in a tv show to someone who hasn't seen it?
It's... pretty much impossible, for the most part. About the best way to do it is to find a similar story, and try to relate it to what happened in that one.
Which makes life tricky, because usually the stories that are most worth describing are also the ones that are the
least like anything you've seen before...
I've been thinking about it, and I think I've finally come up with a possible way to describe the last scene in
Tru Calling.
(Seriously. Even if you don't care about TC whatsoever, you really should read this explanation. Cause I think it's really cool.)( spoilers under the cut, sort of )
