Whenever you try to explain a storyline to a friend, especially in [[Arc]] heavy shows, you often have to pepper your dialogue with a [[Not Making This Up Disclaimer]].

Whenever you try to explain a storyline to a friend, especially in [[Arc]] heavy shows, you often have to pepper your dialogue with a [["Not Making This Up" Disclaimer]].

When you watch a story from the beginning, when a major plot point happens you are often primed for it because of the events of the story that build to it. Then you try to explain it to your friends... which results in blank stares, because they weren't primed the whole story for it, no matter how well you describe it to them.

This is a phrase to use when describing a complicated story point, because really a person does not need to hear the history of [[Star Trek]] from the beginning to understand the use of a trope.

There is no need for examples (especially with spoiler tags) to become ''[[Fermats Last Theorem|Fermat's Last Spoiler.]]''

The reasons why this is needed can vary, quite often due to [[Continuity Lock Out]], [[Mind Screw]] and/or a [[Kudzu Plot]].

Line 20:

* ''[[Angel]]'': While usually annoying the hell out of each other, Angel and Spike put aside their problems because {{spoiler|Fred was dying from a demon infection. In order to save her}} they needed to access a sanctuary by fighting demons. While waiting, Spike and Angel held hands... [[It Makes Sense in Context]], but still, fun with [[Ho Yay]]!

'''Sometimes you don't even need spoilers-'''

* ''[[Angel]]'': ''A Hole in the World'' had Angel and Spike hold hands before facing an onslaught of demons. [[It Makes Sense in Context]], but in any case, it was fuel for [[Ho Yay]].
