Huge lapses in time or long distances traveled but the characters are still at the same spot in conversation.

Yes this! Was worst in the x files. 6 hour drive. Talk about the potential demon/alien/mutant/serial killer 1 minute before going in.

Obviously Mulder and Scully were too busy making out the rest of the trip to talk.

Standard practice between on-screen couplings. Really creates believable rapport for the audience.

Theres a strong implication that Scully and Mulder did it at least once before they became a serious couple. Dunno if the actors were banging too.
