** In one particularly memorable sequence, Londo Mollari arranges for [[spoiler: Lord Refa]] to meet his end this way at the hands of angry Narns. Ironically, his primary motivation was revenge against [[MisBlamed something that someone else had done]], but don't worry, all the other crimes checked out. [[AssholeVictim The guy had done more than enough to earn his fate.]]
*** An element of comedy is added to this scene by the fact that the death [[SoundtrackDissonance is accompanied by a gospel song]] about Judgement Day called "And The Rock Cried Out, No Hiding Place". No hiding place, indeed.

* ''Series/QuantumLeap'' had a particularly dark episode in Season 4, simply titled "Raped." Sam Beckett leaped into the body of a rape victim, and he thought his mission would be to seek justice by taking the case to court. But because the rapist is the mayor's son and a football hero in town, he gets off scot-free. As Sam is sitting on a porch lamenting the turn of events, the rapist shows up and [[WouldHitAGirl attacks him/her,]] intending to rape his accuser again. Sam -- after [[GroinAttack kicking the rapist in the groin]] -- decides to get justice for his host himself, and the episode ends with [[BewareTheNiceOnes normally]] NiceGuy Sam just [[Awesome/QuantumLeap viciously beating that scumbag to a pulp.]]

** And then there's the time Damar tries to get Ziyal to come with him against her will. Cue Kira absolutely wiping up the cargo bay with him. Kira's pummeling is so thorough that Dukat, Damar's immediate supervisor and Kira's frequent adversary, takes one look at Damar and immediately presumes he must have done something to deserve it.
