An [[Ass Pull]] is a moment when the writers pull something out of thin air in a less-than-graceful narrative development, violating the [[Law of Conservation of Detail]] by dropping a [[Plot]]-critical detail in the middle, or near the end of their narrative without [[Foreshadowing]] or dropping a [[Chekhov's Gun]] earlier on.
