{{trope}}{{Needs Image}}Examples of [[{{BASEPAGENAME}}]] in [[{{SUBPAGENAME}}]] include:
* ''[[
* ''[[Lost]]'' has many examples, but the most prominent is in the ''pilot'': Locke and Walt play backgammon and Locke mentions that it's the oldest game in the world and there's two players: one light, one dark. The final season reveals that the series' events revolved around two people, one "light" and one "dark", each having a goal that's part of what's essentially a game they invented in their childhood, and they've been at it for two thousand years.
** The first time we see Juliet's face, it's her reflection in a mirror. In season 5 she {{spoiler|sacrifices herself believing it will create a [[Mirror Universe]].}}
Line 75:
{{quote|'''Ianto''': {{spoiler|You are going to get us all killed.}}
'''Jack''': {{spoiler|No, you get killed, not me. You die like a dog, like an ugly dog.}} }}
* Strangely, the much maligned decision to turn an entire season of ''[[Dallas]]'' [[All Just a Dream|into a dream]] seems to have had plenty of ''accidental'' Foreshadowing. The 'Dream Year' has a strange, slightly surreal air completely at odds with the rest of the show as noted in [https://web.archive.org/web/20120527040306/http://www.kevinmccorrytv.com/dallas.html this article.]
* ''[[House (TV series)|House]]'': In Season Three, Wilson's reasoning - he was afraid that House might think he was God and take an even bigger fall later on if he made a mistake - for his ill-advised, badly timed attempt at teaching House humility turns out to be well-founded when House pisses Tritter off in "Fools For Love" and utter disaster ensues.
** In one of the many Season Four examples foreshadowing the finale, when the Hospital Inspector tells House that he's heard his name before, House replies that most people have because his name is also a noun. In the finale, the mystery woman's (who is really Amber) amber necklace helps House solve the mystery of who's dying.
** Each season finale foreshadowed the Season 5 finale, with increasing obviousness.
* ''[[Firefly (TV series)|Firefly]]'' has several foreshadowing moments. It is possible that some of them never were fulfilled, because of the [[Too Good to Last|cancellation]].
** In the pilot there are two. 1) Jayne tells Mal that Dobson tried to bribe him, but didn't accept because "the pay wasn't good enough". In ''Ariel'', it was. 2) Kaylee asks for a new compression coil for the engine, warning that they'll be adrift in space if it breaks. That happens in ''Out of Gas''.
** River sometimes repeats "two by two, hands of blue". The two agents who hunt River have blue gloves.
