It’s so true and obvious lately I feel like. So many shows I watch and can pick up the patterns when a side character is about to get offed. Like a red shirt but via dialog instead of apparel lol

In episodic shows (crime, drama etc) it's also typically a give away if a role is played by a known actor.

It's a trend recently started by the ancient Greeks.

It's the same for reality competition shows too. If someone is getting more front time camera spots then the rest of the competition early on in the show you can typically bank that they are going home that episode.

Stargate SG-1 was nerve wracking, worrying about Walter’s safety every time he showed up just a bit too much. I kept expecting him to bite it from some staff blasts through the gate or something.

Then the ‘Heroes’ episodes happened and blindsided me.
