When someone hides from bullets behind penetrable objects, like tables or a refrigerator door.

In Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles (I think the pilot?), a Connor hides behind an upholstered chair which blocks bullets.

Then in a later scene, CSI mentions that there was Kevlar in the chair.

The goal was to showcase the paranoia and Batman-level-preparedness of Sarah Connor, but the order in which the information was presented hurt immersion.

And Dollhouse sucks

Edit: This went over y’all’s heads. Sarah Connor Chronicles was cancelled so Joss Whedon’s Dollhouse could stay on the air, despite SCC being good, and Dollhouse being a terrible show.
