* {{Flynning}}: The sword fight in the ShowWithinAShow has no choreography to speak of: it's just two actors striking their swords together in a repetitive pattern, alternately high and low. This being a pretty stylized form of theater, it's more an abstraction of fighting than an attempt to make it look real.

* RandomEventsPlot: As Ray put it:
