Line 137:
** His sacrifice did, however, {{spoiler|make [[Physical God|Illyria]] very angry. Resulting in her [[Talk to the Fist|punching Vail's head off]]}}. So perhaps not so meaningless after all.
** Also, he had pretty explicitly stated before that he didn't much care to go on living after {{spoiler|Fred}}'s death.
* ''[[The Avengers (TV series)|The Avengers]]''; "The House that Jack Built" has Emma trapped in a computerized maze built with the intent to drive her insane, and meets a man inside it who has already fallen victim to such a fate. Eventually, he tries to use the "suicide booth" intended for her, hoping it will shut the program down. It doesn't work; the design is too [[Crazy Prepared]] and will not shut the program down unless ''she'' uses it.
* The ''[[Supernatural (TV series)|Supernatural]]'' episode "Abandon All Hope" includes a heartbreaking death for {{spoiler|Ellen and Jo}} in order to make possible an attempt to {{spoiler|kill Lucifer with the Colt. It fails.}}
** In another episode foreshadowing these events, Dean is sent to the future by Zachariah to meet his future self after turning down Michael. Future-Dean turns out to have become such a {{spoiler|hate-filled, heartless bastard, that he gets many of his present good friends killed just to get close to now Lucifer-inhabited-Sam with the Colt. Apparently he doesn't even get the chance to shoot the gun before he's killed, making Cas and the others' death completely pointless, even for the present-Dean, who doesn't understand that ''even if he got a shot, it still wouldn't do no good''. Then the Ellen/Jo thing happens.}}
Line 150 ⟶ 151:
* On ''[[Robin Hood (TV series)|Robin Hood]]'', Marian prevents Guy of Gisborne from assassinating King Richard at the cost of her own life. However, if one knows their history, it's rather depressing to realize that Richard returns to England only to leave and then die soon after in Normandy.
* Al on ''[[FlashForward]]'' commits suicide because his flash forward has him receive news on the death of a woman. Afterwards, everyone takes to the fact that the flash forwards will not necessarily come true. In a later episode, the woman is hit by a car and dies anyway. Al was only receiving the news of her death and was not responsible for it.
