It’s always bothered me how often in stories that critical plot points are discovered by someone listening at the keyhole. I mean, even PG Wodehouse recognized it in some of his stories as an old trope. Back when my wife watched a particular soap opera (which is where I came up with my theory of ‘comic book time’ and why characters do the same crap every five years or so. “Oh, no, it’s another clone of Spider-Man”) any plot development was sprung upon the principal characters involved while they were standing in a darkened hallway putting their ears around a doorframe while nerve-wrackedly chewing a knuckle.
