plot convenience

plot convenience is a method of story-telling that forces unlikely events to take place because the story calls for it.
In the anime dragonball, Goku as a child transforms into a great ape twice within a year, the first was when they were trapped in 3 foot "special steel" thick cube prizon with tempered glass up on top, the full moon is out, and after he transforms he has his tail cut off.

plot convenience kicks in during the final round of the world martial arts tournament, Goku's tail grows back during his fight with Monster Beast Giran, and the full moon just happens to be out during the final fight. In other words plot convenience happens when coincidences must take place in order for the plot to advance.

Convenient News Network

The Convenient News Network (or CNN,) is the news channel on TV that everybody in movies watches because it always reports on exactly the thing you want to know about. This phrase was coined by Cleolinda Jones who writes the m15m livejournal.
Famous Actor: "Somebody just told me about some vague interesting thing that's important to the plot, I better turn to the Convenient News Network to find out more, because I just know that's what they'll be talking about when I turn on the TV, which, of course, is already on the exact channel I was going to watch anyway."
