Unfortunately, there are numerous assumptions about reality, intuitive judgements, which must simply be discarded, because some of our common sense notions become incoherent or downright invalid in QFT. This is very hard to do coming at it from a "PBS Nova" science popularization type angle, as it takes you out of a lazy Aristotlo-Newtonian consciousness into a world where these "funky notions" aren't just frill at the edges, they are the meat of the matter. Not sure how that can be approached from a pedagogical or popularization angle. The world, in a nutshell, simply does not work the way most people think it does. I wonder if it's a matter of not having evolved cognitions which can wrap around these ideas, or simply unlearning bad habits; I suspect more of the former than the latter.
