Flaw Exploitation: Difference between revisions

** Of course, this was only after Fajo had ''successfully'' used this against Data to get him to sit in his assigned chair by, ironically, threatening to kill the aforementioned Varria if he didn't comply, on the same hunch that Data's "fundamental respect for all life" [["Three Laws"-Compliant|wouldn't even let him allow someone to die, through his inaction]]. In case the above quote wasn't obvious, it was Fajo's killing of Varria at the end of the episode that prompted the subversion.

* In ''[[Doctor Who]]'', this is one of the Doctor's main tactics. He is ''repeatedly'' underestimated about how [[Let's Get Dangerous|dangerous]] (for those people, who don't ''know'' about him) or how [[Tranquil Fury|ruthless]] (for some who do) he can be, and he plays on this to [[Manipulative Bastard]] levels. That's only if everyone else involved isn't already scared stiff of him...

* In ''[[Robin Hood (TV series)|Robin Hood]]'', Marian attempts to use Guy's genuine feelings for her to get information about the Sheriff's evil schemes so that she can pass it on to Robin. [[Shipping Goggles|It works less often than the shippers would have you believe]], and it ultimately {{spoiler|costs her her life}}.
