Line 86:
* Many ''[[Bakugan]]'' fans guessed that {{spoiler|the new [[Big Bad]] Mag Mel was actually Emperor Barodius, the [[Big Bad]] of the previous season, because they shared the same voice actor among other hints. They were right.}}
* When Episode 11 of ''[[Gundam AGE]]'' confirmed {{spoiler|Yurin L'Ciel}} to be Flit's preferred [[Love Interest]], longtime ''Gundam'' fans compared her to Lalah Sune and saw her inevitable death coming a mile away. {{spoiler|Three episodes later, they were right.}}
 
 
== Card Games ==
* Just prior to the pre-release of [[Magic: The Gathering|Magic: The Gathering's]] ''Zendikar'' set, a game shop owner reported opening a valuable old card from a previous set in a Zendikar booster pack. His claims were largely dismissed by most players, but by the time the pre-released rolled around, other people began reporting similar findings. The idea that Wizards of the Coast would put an out-of-print card in every several hundred booster packs seemed outlandish at the time, but Wizards has been known for pulling outlandish stunts in the past as well; this one was just their most well-kept secret to date.
* In another [[Magic: The Gathering]] -related story, back when [[Phil Foglio]] was writing monthly comic strips for Magic's official magazine he was asked to do a strip based on a soon to be released set. Unfortunately, he could not told what the theme of the set actually was as it was too big a secret. He proceeded to write [https://web.archive.org/web/20150428205710/http://www.airshipentertainment.com/growfcomic.php?date=20090208 a comic] about what the lazy, obvious plot of the set would be based on it's name and the ongoing story that had wound through the last two sets. It was meant to be a [[Who Writes This Crap?|parody]]. He was 90% correct.
 
 
Line 168 ⟶ 163:
** Quite a few fans predicted that River Song was {{spoiler|Amy and Rory's daughter}}. They were right.
** And on the subject of River, it was widely suggested that "The Good Man" that River killed would turn out to be {{spoiler|the Doctor himself}} - it was. He survived (sort of).
* The final Cylon model in ''[[Battlestar Galactica Reimagined(2004 TV series)|Battlestar Galactica]]'' has turned out to be one of the first people we all suspected of being one—despite events in between that seemed, at the time, to make this impossible.
* Dr. Cox is {{spoiler|the new Chief of Medicine}} on ''[[Scrubs]]''.
* After the first few episodes of ''[[Power Rangers SPD]]'', one member of a popular Power Rangers forum declared that the Red Ranger of the [[Evil Counterpart|SPD A-Squad]] [[Samus Is a Girl|was in fact a woman]]. After hearing the voice of the Red Ranger, the forum member deduced from his experience with sound engineering that the voice was that of a woman which had been electronically adjusted to make it sound like a guy. Nobody believed him, because there had never been a female Red Ranger in the history of [[Power Rangers]] (or ''[[Super Sentai]]''). Eight months and thirty episodes later, the helmet comes off and... the Red Ranger is a woman! Said forum member celebrates by creating a new thread dedicated to his own awesomeness, mocking the people who didn't believe him and filling the thread with flashing GIFs declaring "I WAS RIGHT". Good game, sir. Of course, there was also the fact she was revealed to be ''evil''... Oh wait, some even guessed that as well.
Line 211 ⟶ 206:
* A very unusual example occuring between shows. Davis of [[Corner Gas]] proposed a very unusual theory about the original [[Battlestar Galactica]] and how {{spoiler|all humans on earth could have decended from the citizens on the Galactica}}. Several years after the show, guess how the remake ends.
* In ''[[Once Upon a Time (TV series)|Once Upon a Time]]'', many were theorising {{spoiler|Mr. Gold/Rumplestiltskin still remembered everything}}. They were right, of course.
