* The beginning of the new ''[[Battlestar Galactica Reimagined (TV)|Battlestar Galactica]]''. There's no actual negotiations at all: the Cylons, after years of not showing up the annual diplomatic meeting, show up and kill everyone with barely a word.
* This also happened in the beginning of the original (1970's) ''[[Battlestar Galactica Classic (TV)|Battlestar Galactica]]''. Count Baltar arranged a peace treaty between the 12 Colonies and the Cylons. The Colonies sent all 12 Battlestars to the conference, leaving the Colonies completely undefended. The Cylons carried out a massive attack on both the Battlestars and the colonies, almost completely wiping out both.
** The battlestars would have had a chance, if Baltar hadn't sabotaged most of the ships and insisted on keeping the Vipers in the hangar bays.
* In one episode of ''[[Star Trek the Next Generation]]'' a mediator beams down to a planet which has been at war for hundreds of years with his interpreters (he's a deaf-mute). One of the Mooks on one side is against peace talks and kills the interpreters. You have to question the intelligence of this move.
