I despise the inherent arrogance of the "what would it have been like if you hadn't been here" homage to whatever movie,
I'd like to see this once where the "what would it been like" turns out to be significantly better. Without the Brave Hero to save her, the Love Interest does have awful things happen to her, but she recovers, decides this will never happen to her again, learns a really cool and dangerous martial art, starts wearing leather, and ends up as a really interesting person who does her own damn saving.
Well, in au Highlander -- Tessa lives because she didn't meet Duncan. . . but she stops being an artist and is married to a womanizer.
Dallas did that with JR. I think JR was contemplating suicide and some guy showed up and showed JR what everyone's life would be like without him. JR assumes it's the Wonderful Life thing but everyone's life ROCKED, totally great things were going on and finally JR's standing in front of the mirror saying "Why'd you show this to me?" And the guy morphs and there's smoke or brimstone in the back and he says something either like "You didn't think I was angel did you?" OR "You didn't think you really improved anyone's life?"
I don't know why I was watching Dallas, but I thought that was so cool. Of course JR didn't off himself, but I was hoping he would.

OK, now that's an episode of Dallas I should have watched.
Huh. On the Outer Limits, Cyclops appears to be fighting the Goa'uld. While trying to get to the set of Myst. Freaky.
Tessa lives because she didn't meet Duncan. . . but she stops being an artist and is married to a womanizer.
And her life is completely empty.
Pfah on him. I was okay with him saving the world from the First Evil, but they went too far.

Yeah? Which one? (I recorded the Andromeda from... week before last?... just for the Stargate entertainment value. Look, Martouf lived! And got scruffy!)
No, the actual snake things. Okay, they're a little different -- much longer, for one thing. But they've got the flares around the head! Meanwhile, I think we're about to find that the only remaining humans have been recreated by the Cardassians.

I thought that was Spike?
runs away
Cyclops is snakes? Isn't that Medusa's hair?
