** ''Series/StargateUniverse'': Hits this early in the first mid-season finale. Upon discovering [[spoiler: Rush's attempt to frame him for the murder of a subordinate]], Young responds by [[spoiler: beating the hell out of him and leaving him for dead on a desolate planet.]] This action along with [[spoiler: Rush's eventual return]] further expands the rift between the military and civilian personnel including [[spoiler: a mutiny attempt]] shortly after.

to:

** Basically invoked when Daniel Jackson learns that the half-ascended Goa'uld Anubis is basically allowed to exist as a punishment from the other Ascended against his sort-of mentor in Ascension, Oma Desala. Oma has often bent the rules against interfering with the lower planes to assist others in achieving Ascension, but at one point she was tricked into helping Anubis ascend and only realised his true evil after he had become pure energy. The Others interfered to force Anubis back to the mortal plane, but left him half-Ascended; this leaves him bound by rules that he cannot use any knowledge and power he couldn't have theoretically gained as a standard Goa'uld, but still leaves him an immortal, irredeemably evil psychopath with a god complex. Daniel is vocally outraged when he first learns this, angry at how Anubis has been allowed to continue for centuries to punish Oma when all she did was make one mistake.

She points out that when he first found out that there was a leak of Monarch's files, he ''should'' have brought it to her, [[Film/Godzilla2014 Dr. Serizawa]] or one of his other higher-ups in [[CovertGroup Monarch]] so that they could take care of it in an orderly manner -- instead, he broke protocol to go off half-cocked trying to get the files back on his and Duvall's own without telling Duvall what he was doing, for [[SecretlySelfish his own personal glory and self-indulgence at playing spies]]; and he's made a clusterfuck of achieving that goal, with the civilians now on the run alongside a retired Monarch operative gone rogue and still in possession of the files.

* ''Series/StarTrekDiscovery'':
** In "Project Daedalus," Michael Burnham attempts to try and aid her stepbrother Spock in solving the mysteries behind the mysterious Red Angel that had granted him visions of an apocalyptic future. However, as the two fell out many years ago, Spock is becoming increasingly frustrated with her attempts to try and solve his problem, and eventually rips into her, revealing exactly why he refused all attempts to reconnect with her; as far as he's concerned, her attempts to burden multiple tragedies of her past (her parent's deaths, logic extremists targeting Sarek's family, and the Klingon-Federation War) are nothing more than selfish acts on her part. He even smashes the three dimensional chess board, expressing how, for once in his life, he's actually happy about expressing emotions. Burnham is hurt by this pretty hard to the point she's an emotional mess when Tilly finds her. However, the next episode shows that Spock's words, as harsh as they were, did resonate with Burnham, and after learning the truth about her parents, does admit to him that he was right in a way.

Can you just think about that for more than one second? He didn't like something that was my own, and so he took it away from me. Like this car. Like my friends.
