Line 106:
* In ''[[Angel]]'' Wesley abducted an infant Connor, believing a prophecy which stated Angel would kill his own son. Later, as Wesley lies injured in the hospital after his plan led to Connor's disappearance into a hell dimension, an angry Fred tells him that the prophecy had been altered and if Wesley had simply ''talked'' to anyone else the tragedy would have never occurred. Everyone else agrees Angel could never kill his son.
* In ''[[Community]]'' episode [[Community/Recap/S1/E18 Basic Genealogy|Basic Genealogy]], a police officer points out that a fist fight could have been avoided if [[Pictionary]] would just [[Makes Sense in Context|ban the word windmill]].
* One could view the entirety of ''[[Buffy the Vampire Slayer]]'''s fifth season this way -- if Glory had been reasonable and had gone to the Scoobies saying, basically, "I have this problem", the entire season might have been about trying to find a way to get her back home. Without, you know, cutting up Dawn and/or throwing the entire multiverse into a blender in the process. Of course, her mercurial moods, hair-trigger temper, and habit of eating the sanity of a random human once every week or so probably would have made the Buffy and co. somewhat hesitant to help her.
