My husband and I have been discussing this sort of thing as a

can't quite hold it? Other scenes around it have trouble living
up, and you can't bring them to its level--do you take it out?
That would be sad.
I suppose "write better" isn't very helpful advice.
It seems one might rearrange the rest of the story outline to revolve
around the big scene one has got--rather than the spaceship chase in
Chapter 20 that one had originally planned--but that's just
speculation; I couldn't say if it would work in practice.
