It's a Small World After All: Difference between revisions

** Jaden Korr (of [[Jedi Academy]] fame) happens to be in precisely correct spot in all of space to intercept an Old Republican jedi master who was flung into the future due to a hyperdrive malfunction.

 

* In ''[[Sliders]]'', they would always randomly appear in the precise place and time where four strangers could, over the course of a few hours, completely alter the way of life on the planet. (We did briefly see the Sliders in universes where they had no particular impact, usually at the very start of an episode. Presumably, there were any number of such banal slides and the network was only showing us the [[Your Mileage May Vary|interesting]] ones.)

** [[Discussed Trope|Discussed]] in one of the first episode, where the professor tries to see which way they should go: should they interfere, are they sent there by a form of God, or should they take up a "[[Star Trek|First Commandment]]" or sorts of not interfering. They chuck it out the window in favor of [[Rule of Cool|doing whatever they want]] or [[Omniscient Morality License|what they consider moral]].

* ''[[Stargate Atlantis]]'', where those who live in deadly fear of the human-eating Wraith never move away from (or block) the stargate the Wraith ships emerge from - generally making it easy for the ships to fill their human quota in about half an hour.

** Well, considering that when they ''do'' do those things, the Wraith come in from space and bomb the place to hell, it might make more sense.

** For example, despite having an entire planet to argue over, the Thals and the Kaleds apparently live within walking (or gliding) distance of each other in ''Genesis of the Daleks''.

* In one episode of ''[[Farscape]]'', Zhaan searches for her missing crewmembers by ''asking a bartender'' on a random planet nearby. Because clearly there is only one bar on the entire planet which they could have visited if they had been there, which, thankfully, they did not.
