Just Eat Gilligan: Difference between revisions

*** In addition, ''the entire plot arc'' of season 5 is based on the problem that engaging Lucifer in mortal combat will, assuming you're powerful enough that he can't just crush you effortlessly, involve enough collateral damage to destroy the Earth. If getting Lucifer dead was the only problem they had then all they'd have needed to do was sit back and let Michael have his shot. It was getting rid of Lucifer ''without'' the apocalyptic battle was the tricky part.

* ''[[Mission Impossible (TV series)|Mission Impossible]]'' actually has this inverted. Whenever there seems to be an easier, alternate way to accomplish the goal for the episode, one of the characters will bring it up in the pre-mission briefing and then an explanation as to why that can't work is given. In fact, the standing reason why the Impossible Mission Force can't just assassinate targets (which is obviously much easier than the convoluted schemes on the show) is because of a "policy decision" on behalf of the higher-ups in the United States.

* ''[[Dennis the Menace (TV series)|Dennis the Menace]]''. Mr. Wilson's life would be much better if the Mitchells would move away. The worst part is that the man is [[Genre Savvy]] enough to know this, and his warnings to the other characters are tragically ignored.

* In ''[[Survivor]]'', several seasons had people shouting, "Just vote out ''x''!" at their TVs. Especially recent seasons, wherein players seemed to have become afraid to rock the boat and try taking control of their alliances and vote out the designated "leader".
