== Anime & Manga ==
* ''[[Aoi Hana]]'' had its share of Yasuko/Kyouko shippers, despite Yasuko's often cold behavior toward Kyouko. This ship finally sank for good when {{spoiler|Yasuko starts studying in England and apparently begins a relationship with her roommate, who also happened to be the co-star of the [[School Play]] Yasuko played the lead in}}.
Line 250 ⟶ 249:
** The awkward attraction between {{spoiler|Wakana and Philip}} is both ruined and justified with the revelation that she is his {{spoiler|long-lost, barely remembered sister. It's the reason they seem to feel drawn to each other but romance would be a bit...awkward.}}
* The [[True Blood|Tara and Jason]] ship has been sunk ''twice''. Still, with Season 3 almost over and Season 4 on its way next year, we'll just have to see how it plays out.
* ''[[The Mary Tyler Moore Show]]'''s penultimate episode, "Lou Dates Mary", addressed the [[Oh, Mr. Grant!|MaryLou]] ship. They went on a date, kissed... and immediately burst into giggles and both admitted it would never work.
* ''[[iCarly]]'': The end of ''iOMG'', 10 episodes after Sam revealed she had a crush on Spencer, pretty much sunk what little chance the [[May–December Romance|Sam/Spencer]] ship had.
* ''[[Wizards of Waverly Place]]'' sunk the Justin x Juilet ship by turning her into an old lady. Then they [[There Is No Kill Like Overkill|dropped depth charges]] on it by having Harper pretend to be Juilet and tell him to move on, Alex repeating 'Juilet's never coming back', Justin dating an [[OC Stand-In]] at the last minute, ''and'' Old Lady Juliet looking on and approving of this. The Icing on the Cake? The plot was used up in 15 minutes, so the second half was nothing but the first half repeated. The episode served no further point than to make fans forget about Juilet.

** The writers had a few torpedos left, so they sunk Justin X Harper too, by having Harper tell Justin that she was in love with his sidekick, Zeke. [[Brother-Sister Incest|You know what that means....]]
*** [[Subverted Trope|BUT WAIT!]] It turns out [[Back from the Dead|that Juiliet is back AND''and'' is a young girl again! "Wizards Vs. Everyone"]] With no [[They Just Did Not Care|logical explaination what-so-ever!]] It was just so they could shut us up.
*** Don't expect it. Alex may or may not have Mason with her right now, but I won't hold my breath for the [[Brother-Sister Incest]] to come.
* ''[[La Femme Nikita]]'' (the original TV show, not the 2010 remake) ends Season 4 with Nikita saying to Michael {{spoiler|"I don't love you. I never did", and walking away without looking back.}} Shipping fans were furious.
* For years, ''[[Smallville]]'' had a rather vocal contingent of fans who wanted Clark to end up with Chloe, including those who were praying that she'd turn out to be the '''real''' Lois Lane, rather than the one introduced in Season 4 and played by Erica Durance. Then the [[Grand Finale]] showed, in no uncertain terms, that [[It Was His Sled|Clark married Lois]], and Chloe got married to someone else and had a son, as seen in the final scene [[Distant Finale]].
* [[Stargate SG-1]]: The Daniel/Janet ship is sunk in the episode {{spoiler|Heroes, where Janet is [[Killed Off for Real]].}}
