* ''[[The Thing (Filmfilm)|The Thing]]''. An alien capable of [[Kill and Replace|duplicating and replacing]] people infests an Antarctic camp. If it makes it out into the world, humanity is doomed. After it's apparently destroyed, the two survivors (one of whom may be an alien replacement) talk it over.
{{quote| '''Childs''': The explosions set the temperatures up all over the camp. But it won't last long though.<br />

* On ''[[Stargate SG -1]].'', our heroes have just tossed a grenade down to the engine core of a Goa'uld ship to destroy it. O'Neill asks what they do now. Bra'tac says "Now we die." O'Neill immediately counters with "Well, that's a ''bad'' plan!"
* This happens on ''[[Doctor Who]]'' all the time. An example from the new series would be: In The Doctor Dances, Jack leaves earth with the bomb expecting it to go off in his spaceship, he can't escape before it detonates. Then The Doctor and Rose rescue him with the TARDIS.
* The finale of the reimagined ''[[Battlestar Galactica]]'' had the titular ship going on a mission to rescue Hera from the Cylons. The area where the Cylons were was filled with dangerous obstacles and it was the Cylon homeworld, meaning they'd do everything they could to protect it. Adama even says in his [[Rousing Speech]] that it's likely to be a one-way-trip. Luckily, thanks to Starbuck, they find coordinates to get themselves out and even find Earth.
