Here's another take on doing a different POV. Write a couple paragraphs of a scene about your characters interacting, but written from the point of view of a minor-character observer. For example, your characters are at dinner, but the conversation is heard by the waiter. Or, you could take an established scene (in an episode, for example) but tell it from the point of view of a guard in the villain's stronghold, or a pedestrian that your characters passed by on the street.
The idea is that this character may not know the main characters or the situation going on, so how do you write what they see/hear/experience to convey that? They may even mishear what's said or not see (or mistake) something important because their attention is on something else that's more important to them.
