Line 128:
* Jadzia Dax's death in the ''[[Star Trek: Deep Space Nine]]'' episode "Tears of the Prophets" is there to make Dukat an even more ominous [[Big Bad]] than he already was, and serves to give Sisko a [[Ten-Minute Retirement]] in [[Cliff Hanger]] form. (Don't worry, [[The Nth Doctor|Dax gets better]]).
** In an [[SF Debris]] review of The Adversary, Chuck references this trope, along with the ubiquitous [[Red Shirt]].
{{quote|Eddington: "You don't get to be a captain wearing a [[Red Shirt|gold uniform]]."
Chuck: "That's because guys in the gold uniforms usually get their salt sucked out to prove the situation's serious." }}
* Season two brings the first of many examples from ''[[Buffy the Vampire Slayer]]'' in Jenny Calendar. She's specifically killed to convince the Scooby Gang that Angelus is an actual threat. And Puccini would never be the same again.
