Line 85:
* ''[[24]]'' will often feature a Presidential adviser or a CTU analyst using a [[Power Point]] presentation to literally storyboard what will occur if the terrorists' plot succeeds. A memorable second season episode shows [[Our Presidents Are Different|President]] [[Bald Black Leader Guy|David]] [[Benevolent Boss|Palmer]] staring in shocked silence at a computer projection of the death toll if the nuclear bomb goes off in LA.
* ''[[Heroes (TV series)|Heroes]]'' does this once a season, usually via [[Time Travel]] or precognitive paintings.
* The season opener for ''[[Battlestar Galactica Classic|BattleStarGalactica1980]]'' 1980 gives us simulation what a Cylon invasion of Earth would look like. For some reason promotional material for the movie that was made from that opener seemed to draw almost exclusively from this attack.
* In the ''[[Buffy the Vampire Slayer]]'' episode "Doomed", after Giles reveals that the [[Monster of the Week]] wants to open the Hellmouth and end the world, everyone groans "Again?" and Xander comments that it's lost its impact. At which point Giles proceeds to remind them exactly what that means. In detail.
