Line 62:
* In ''[[Babylon 5]]'', the Psi Corps rules basically exist only so that telepaths can break them to show that it's really serious this time.
* At times, the Time Lords from ''[[Doctor Who]]'' have tried to maintain this, even putting the Doctor on trial for its violation at one point; a few other episodes have had him ask the people he's saved (if any survive) [[Think Nothing of It|to not mention him]]. In other cases, the Time Lords have redirected his TARDIS to places they wanted fixed by him without admitting their involvement.
** In ''[[Doctor Who/Recap/S21
** In the new series, the Doctor also has a rule against using time travel to change events that he's personally involved in. It's implied that this would be really, really bad for nonspecific reasons. [[Hand Wave|This is usually used to keep him from using the TARDIS to get out of trouble.]]
* ''[[Highlander (TV series)|Highlander]]'' employed it constantly as well (do not fight on holy ground, do not fight in front of other people, etc).

'''Pinchhard:''' Belay that popping!

* In ''[[Avatar: The Last Airbender]]'', at the beginning of the second season, Aang wants to skip his Prime Directive of learning the four bending arts and go straight to the [[Big Bad|Fire Lord]] and take him out with the all powerful Avatar State, however he soon learns without control of this state he could easily hurt those around him and decides to take the traditional way by learning the bending arts first.
** Another unwritten rule seems to be that the Avatar should learn the elements 'in order', starting with their natural element, air, water, earth and fire. Aang tries to learn Firebending second, but that doesn't really work out, he also learns several elements at the same time, otherwise the rule is followed by Aang.
