Big Heroic Run: Difference between revisions

 

 

* ''[[Doctor Who]]'': Many examples. Starting from [[The Nth Doctor|Three]]—but especially Four—the Doctor does an awful lot of running.

** The Tenth Doctor runs all the way across the Library and down to the core of the world to save River Song.

** The Eleventh Doctor tries to run across Upper Leadworth in "Amy's Choice," but the Dream Lord makes him sleep.

* Subverted twice in the original ''[[Firefly]]'' pilot. Simon has just been told by Mal that Kaylee has died (meaning he's failed to save her after he {{spoiler|let her get shot}}), and he takes off at a dead run to the infirmary. When he gets there, instead of a dead Kaylee, he finds her alive and giggling at something Book's just said. Simon angrily calls Mal "psychotic". Irony cut to Mal, Zoe, Jayne, and Wash on the bridge, laughing their asses off at the prank and Wash calling Mal "psychotic".

* In Torchwood there are two chase scenes in the same episode, between the prime witness in an investigation into a strange alien artefact and first Gwen then Owen. Gwen nearly gets him the first time, getting his hoodie and the artefact and Owen corners him after a chase through several gardens. The second chase scene is on youtube.
