** Not to mention Denny Duquette (who may or may not be a hallucination/angel)!

* The new ''[[Battlestar Galactica Reimagined(2004 TV series)|Battlestar Galactica]]'' was notorious for this. Although some characters could come back if they were Cylons, most other characters had permanent deaths and it happened frequently. Even a [[Red Shirt]] death tended to matter, since background characters were recurring.
* Probably the ultimate example of this trope comes in ''[[Caprica]]'', the prequel series to the new ''[[Battlestar Galactica Reimagined(2004 TV series)|Battlestar Galactica]]''. ''Galactica'', of course, starred Admiral Bill Adama, son of Joseph Adama, so when ''Caprica'' introduced us to Joseph Adama and his young son William, certain assumptions of [[Contractual Immortality]] were made. Then the penultimate episode killed off William. Joseph names his next son after the dead one.
* ''[[NCIS]]''. Especially if you happen to be female. Title credits offer no protection.
** Michael Weatherly joked that NCIS stood for "No Castmember Is Safe"
