I Never Told You My Name: Difference between revisions

Line 66:

* On one episode of ''[[The X-Files|The X Files]]'' a character gives himself away with this trope but he's talking so fast that the audience might not notice until Mulder stops him, saying, "Whoa, whoa, wait a minute here...When did I say my name was 'Agent Mulder'?"

* In the ''[[Stargate SG-1]]'' episode "Window of Opportunity", Jack realizes that Malakai is also in the time loop when he uses Carter's name, despite not having been introduced to her in the current loop.

* A variant occurs at the tail end of the ''[[Castle]]'' episode "Sucker Punch". {{spoiler|Beckett realizes a suspect she has just released was in fact the killer of both the victim of the week and her own mother, because he used "her" in reference to her mother. Beckett had mentioned a [[Death By Origin Story]] during an interrogation, but not the ''gender'' of the person she lost.}}

* In ''[[Battlestar Galactica Reimagined]]'', Kara "Starbuck" Thrace realises that Simon knows more than he should when he calls her Starbuck - she had only told him her real name, not her call sign. It doesn't end well for Simon (though being a Cylon, [[Death Is Not Permanent|He Gets Better]]).
