* The Borg's first appearance was on ''[[Star Trek: The Next Generation]]'' as a mysterious, frighteningly advanced and implacable species from beyond known space. Then ''[[Star Trek: Voyager|Voyager]]''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s premise is to travel through said quadrant to return home, frequently defeating them and even allowing an individualised one onto the USS ''Voyager'''s ranks.
* In the early years of ''[[Doctor Who]]'', we knew almost nothing about his people - it was six years before we learned the name "Time Lords". From the Tom Baker serial ''[[Doctor Who/Recap/S14/E03 The Deadly Assassin|The Deadly Assassin]]'' onwards, we began to learn more and actually visited Gallifrey. Over the next decade or so, more stories featuring the corrupt, self-interested and machiavellian Time Lords were made, to the point where many fans complained that too much was being explained and the mystery had gone. One of the objectives of the so-called "Cartmell Master-plan" was to [[Retcon]] some of this and reintroduce the mystery.<ref>The series was canceled before the arc was completed and continued in [[Virgin New Adventures|the subsequent novels]]</ref>
** The new series managed to bring this back a bit, by having them all supposedly killed off. This means that for modern fans, any slight suggestion that there might be another one out there is incredibly exciting.
