* ''Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer'' states that only one slayer can exist at a time; when one dies, the next awakens. That's what the Council decreed. The show skirts this trope with ''clinical death'' which creates two slayers, but doesn't fully play it straight until [[spoiler: Willow]] decides to break the rule and [[TheChosenMany wake up EVERY possible slayer.]]

Figuring out ''how'' is a major arc in Series 7.

* ''DoctorWho'':

** The characters of ''DeepSpaceNine'' are used to a MirrorUniverse where they exist as brutal yet sexy version of themselves, but in the last mirror episode "The Emperor's New Cloak" Quark and Rom witness the death of Vic Fontaine -- despite the fact that Vic is not a real person but a fictional holodeck character in their universe. After trying to puzzle this out for a while, they just give up.

* ''Franchise/StarTrek'': The Warp speeds are a complicated matter.
** Warp 10 is said to be the highest warp and it is; the only thing that increases is the speed of Warp 10. However, no matter how fast it becomes, it's still TravelingAtTheSpeedOfPlot and therefore not really changing at all.

Voyager reaches Warp 10 and [[spoiler:exists at every point in the universe, but also causes the humans on board to evolve into salamander-like creatures]]. The episode has since been [[CanonDiscontinuity officially disowned by the writers]].
** There were [[AllThereInTheManual two distinct warp scales]] used in Star Trek. The one that was used in original series was a cubic function (velocity '''=''' warp factor cubed '''x''' the speed of light) and had no upper limit. The one used from ''Series/StarTrekTheNextGeneration'' on is hyperbolic and made warp 10 equal to infinite velocity--even if you were traveling at warp factor 9.99999..., you would still be infinitely far from warp factor 10 in this scale. There was yet another warp scale used in ''All Good Things...'' and the future version of the Enterprise travels at Warp 13 on this new scale. Some of the ExpandedUniverse materials attempt to rationalize Warp numbers as being the most EFFICIENT speeds where there's a dip in the energy output needed to sustain the speed.
