But, see, I'm interested in that moment. Assuming you and I are thinking of the same big thing ... well, that was the first time in a while that I had truly felt the *threat*.
::pause to try to figure out how to express this without spoilers::
I felt like, well, this wasn't a completely dark and bleak show, so there was only so far they were going to go. And going up to that line, and pretending that they might cross over it, when the audience knew they wouldn't -- you can only do that so many times before you've just diffused the threat all out of existence and instead you just have mimes and revolving doors and rolexes, you know? But that was a moment of (what felt like) genuine menace and fear and uncertainty. It's OK that it's not happy, because it's *real* and there are consequences and choices that everybody actually has to face.
Unless you're referring to something completely different, of course.
