* In [[Battlestar Galactica (2004 TV series)|the 2004 ''Battlestar Galactica'']], Lee Adama is angsty when he is reminded of his ex-girlfriend, whom he ran from after she told him she carries his child.

* Although not a lover, an episode of ''[[The A-Team]]'' does this strangely. One episode is based around the funeral of their old army buddy. There's a lot of tender reminiscing, and even a lingering close-up on a photo of the five of them standing together in uniform. This is made only ''slightly'' less poignant by the fact that ''we've never heard of this guy before, nor will we again''. |
