    I don’t think I’ll ever get tired of “character & audience already know something and which is about to blow the newbie character or one-episode character’s mind”.

    Two examples: I could never get tired of someone entering the TARDIS for the first time. Or things like the episode of Buffy where one of the crew asks if she’s in the right line of work and she casually picks up an iron girder, slings it over her shoulder, and asks where he wants it moved to.

    We know the TARDIS is bigger on the inside. We know Buffy has super-strength. But that character doesn’t, and it’s always satisfying to see them learn it for the first time.
