@JimTheFish – Ducks out of the Machine ? I’m all for it, still working on a definition though..

@pedant – “a Chekhov’s Gun with the intent of misdirection”: essentially yes! But I’d add the proviso “… but still central to the plot” (to disambiguate from Red Herrings)

I sort of had that “chosen one” from […]

@bluesqueakpip @pedant

I think we may have actually defined something new in “Chekhovs Duck”, which I’m defining as “a Chekhovs Gun, but whose eventual purpose defies the audiences initial Duck Walk test – i.e. […]

@ardaraith – i had not seen that, thank you.

i think the most interesting point about it is the location midway through the doctor doesnt recognise, with childrens voices in the background.

@bluesqueakpip – arguably the duck has already been fired!

I’m not sure Chekhov’s gun applies to plots replete with red herrings though, and even if it’s yet to be fired, doesn’t necessarily mean it’s […]

OK, since when does albeit autocorrect to attune? It’s not even a word!
