I read my own edits and thought they sounded kind of brusque and unfriendly, so I\'d like to apologize for that.

And I cited Administrivia/ExamplesAreNotArguable because the example as given said \\\"There are those who would consider\\\", which is a definite no-no.

As for DoubleAgent, some viewers might have thought that about Stan--I didn\\\'t, not after the scene in the tea shop made clear that something was up--but the fact of the matter is that Stan is not a DoubleAgent so the trope should not be listed. If he or anybody else is later shown to be a DoubleAgent we can list this. (Nina looks like she has a much better chance of becoming one.)

I agree with the listing of ContrivedCoincidence but I rewrote it to read a little better. Hope that\\\'s OK.
