Didn’t See That Coming

Edit Locked

Ah, nothing denotes how Crazy-Prepared The Chessmaster is like the good old Gambit Pileup. Truly, there is nothing these twelfth-level omni-geniuses have not contemplated in their equations and planned for with contingencies B through Z42t.

Then something, or someone, happens. Not just something that the planner didn’t know about, but something that he didn’t know he didn’t know. In fact, there was no way he could have known that he didn’t know this (of course, that means that an incompetent chessmaster or Smug Snake is more likely to fall prone to this trope). Thus the brilliant plan goes to pieces, with a deadpan «I Didn’t See That Coming» once the dust settles. Less stoic fellows may go Oh, Crap! or have a Villainous Breakdown.

But that’s an extreme example. There can be much simpler situations where something unexpected happens that entirely surprises a character (and/or the audience) and makes them think, say, or curse that they didn’t see THAT coming. Not every planner is a good planner, after all. For a brief analysis of what usually qualifies as this trope, and what usually doesn’t, see this page. Essentially, anything that you didn’t know in advance (and thus cannot or didn’t plan for) can be an example of the trope; it’s pretty broad.

See also Didn’t Think This Through. If there wasn’t a plan to begin with, possibly due to a plotter knowing this will happen the moment they start, it’s an Indy Ploy. A plotter who is aware that these can appear, builds flexibility into his plan, and improvises when they arise, is playing Xanatos Speed Chess (and can still fall prey to this trope if confronted by a Spanner in the Works or simply a better Chessmaster).

Wow, didn’t see that coming!
Didn’t see that.
Didn’t see that at all.

It’s funny how I didn’t see that coming.

I don’t know why you didn’t see that coming.

If you didn’t see that coming, then you’ll probably not see the next thing coming either.
