So you're watching a good old [[Space Opera]] or your favourite [[Cyberpunk]] tv series. There's been a grand battle and within all the excitement, you forget that in an intergalactic space war so big there must have been at least a few casualties.

Of course, many would have preferred [[Offscreen Moment of Awesome|actually seeing the battle]].
