Line 22:
* This is part of how the Doctor operates on ''[[Doctor Who]]'': he always seems to end up somewhere with something interesting happening, although it's implied he and his companion(s) go other places offscreen.
** The TARDIS seems curiously attracted to whatever interplanetary incident happens to be most dramatic, ''especially'' when the Doctor's looking for a break.
** In the serial ''Genesis of the Daleks'' the Kaleds and the Thals have been fighting an internecine war for control of the planet Skaro for thousands of years and yet their two massive domed cities are seemingly about a half-mile apart. Well, who wants to ''walk'' a long way to a battle?
** In ''The Doctor's Wife'', it is explicitly stated that the TARDIS takes him exactly where he needs to go.
 
Line 29:
** This was partly subverted in the first game when the player's ship crash lands on the exact spot they need to get to... because that's where the machine that sucks spaceships on to the surface is.
** Hang on... Czerka base on Telos, Telos Academy, Dxun, and Malachor V? Excessive though it is, the Telos Academy probably doesn't count, considering that you'd just figured out its location and been travelling there when shot down by a third party not affiliated with the academy.
* In ''[[Command and& Conquer|Command And Conquer: Renegade]]'', Captain Nick "Havoc" Parker gets shot down after hijacking a plane from a Nod airstrip. He grabs a parachute, jumps out, and lands right on a conveniently placed beachhead that leads to a convenient enemy base.
* In ''[[Star Ocean: The Last Hope]]'', the ship gets sucked into a black hole, spat out over 1957 Earth and makes an emergency landing...right on top of the local alien-experimenting military agency's [[Elaborate Underground Base]].
** And for [[The Very Definitely Final Dungeon]], the ship conveniently ends up crash landing within walking distance of the planet's control center and [[Final Boss]] therein.
