And when they work fine, some other circumstance removes extraneous
characters. For example:
2001: HAL sabotaged them.
Pitch Dark: The cryo unit didn't fail, but the person in it caught a

Babylon 5: The cryo unit didn't fail, but the person inside got munched
by a lurking horror. (Episode: The Long Dark)
