Examples of scenes with more than one meaning:


 * RvB episode "Two for One" from season 4

Grif: Which one is Caboose again? I get confused. Is he the stupid mean one (camera pans to Sarge), the stupid annoying one (camera pans to Simmons), or the stupid stupid one (camera pans to Donut)?

He was talking about Church, Tucker and Caboose. Yes. But if you go past the "He's talking about Church, Tucker and Caboose." You realize that his lines also refer to the people he is facing. And that's what makes the scene great.

"He's talking about Church, Tucker and Caboose. There's nothing more." is a verry narrow way of thinking.


 * RvB Reconstruction Chapter 19

Washington: Take care of yourself guys. (turns towards Church) I know that's one thing you're good at.

He is calling out Church for being a coward and not staying and fighting. That should be obvious to anyone that's seen the scene.


 * The lyrics to "From Shadows"

They begin with "Intruder, identify yourself."

Most people handwave it that "it's there for no reason. Whatever. There can't be anything more to it. Writers aren't smart"

But just try to see what it is. The AK-130's lines are intentional. The song is a dialogue between two sides: It starts with a question: Who are you. And then you get the answer: the explanation who the White Fang are and why they do what they do. It's actually pretty genious writing, if you look at it.

Who are you? -- We're the ones that have no rights, threated like animals, mocked, crushed. We have to stay in the shadows so we can get what you stole from us.

You find interesting things when you look deeper. You just need to get past the "There can't be anything more to it." mentality.
