Line 3:
''Note that some [[Book Ends]] can be a spoiler, so beware.''
* Every Season of ''[[Charmed]]'' begins and ends with the door to Halliwell Manor being closed by magic.
* The first shot of the first scene of ''[[Lost]]'' is Jack's eye opening. {{spoiler|The final shot is his eye closing.}}
Line 74:
** However, this is only an instance of bookends in-universe; actually the first scene was shown in a [[Flash Back]] in the second series opener, and the second in the last episode but four.
* The pilot of ''[[Leverage]]'' has a scene where the team (minus Sophie, who had not been introduced yet) started out standing in a circle, but then walked away, with an overhead shot. The episode ended with the team (included Sophie this time) standing in a circle and not separating. The season ended with an overhead shot of them (again in a circle) going their separate ways.
*
** The TV-Movie ''The Plan'' has this in two ways. First, the film opens with a shot of the two Cavils from "Lay Down Your Burdens" about to be airlocked. The rest of the film consists of flashbacks, ultimately leading up to the point where they stand in front of the airlock.
*** The second book end is a more meta example. ''The Plan'' ends with an altered version of the [[Crowning Music of Awesome|opening theme]] [[Theme Tune Cameo|of the show]]. Since ''The Plan'' is the very last ''Battlestar'' episode to air (excluding spinoffs), having the opening theme as the last thing the audience hears has a certain meaning to it.
Line 116:
** Likewise, the seventh season premiere opens with a flashforward of Ted talking to the groom at the wedding {{spoiler|it's Barney}}, and [[Word of God]] has said that the season finale will end with a flashforward to Ted meeting with the bride, revealing her identity.
** The episode "Tick Tick Tick..." both opens and closes with the sound of a ticking clock.
* In the first episode of ''[[Sanctuary (TV series)|Sanctuary]]'', Helen offers Will "a chance to explore a world that you've been trying to understand on your own … with very little success" and the second episode ends with Magnus saying "Shall we begin?" In the series finale, Magnus says "What if I offered you the chance to explore a world that you've been trying to see since you were a child?" The last words of the episode are Magnus once again saying "Shall we begin?" to Will.
* ''[[Nikita (TV series)|Nikita]]'': [[Magnificent Bastard|Percy]] begins season 2 locked up in a prison cell at the bottom of a missile silo, having been deposed by [[The Starscream|Amanda]]. In the season finale, {{spoiler|Nikita [[Disney Villain Death|drops him down that silo]], and he ends up smashing right into the cell.}}
