Line 97:

** In "The Immunity Syndrome," the ''Enterprise'' must deliver an anti-matter bomb to the {{spoiler|nucleus of the giant space amoeba}}. In a twist, Mr. Spock volunteers for a separate {{spoiler|suicide mission}}, to deliver the probe that enables Kirk to target the nucleus.

* Apparently a favorite trope of Capt. Sheridan ([[Fan Nickname]] "Nuke'em Johnny") on ''[[Babylon 5]]'', who solved his problems with nukes on multiple occasions;

** In the prequel movie ''In The Beginning'', Sheridan employs a nuclear minefield to destroy the Minbari flagship, the ''Black Star''. (This is the source of his [[In-Universe]] epithet, "Starkiller").

** In the episode ''Z'ha'dum'', Sheridan loads a White Star with two 500 megaton nukes and steers it into the Shadows' capitol city.

Line 123:

* At the end of ''[[Lost]]'' season 5, several characters decide to prevent Oceanic 815 from ever crashing by nuking the electromagnetic anomaly that caused the crash (doing so 27 years before the crash thanks to [[Time Travel]].) The plan is simply to drop the bomb down a shaft. It {{spoiler|doesn't detonate. Juliet}}, after being pulled down the shaft and {{spoiler|critically injured, must detonate it manually.}}

* [[Quatermass|Professor Quatermass]] uses this solution twice, once in ''Quatermass II'' and again in ''Quatermass''.
