The only truth that sticks

[phoenix64]

Hey there wise and all-knowing Friends List, I'm hoping to tap your collective knowledge a bit. I'm looking for examples of betrayal in the TV shows we know and at least some of us love. I'm interested in all kinds, from the ones we're in on it from the beginning (Faith joining forces with the Mayor), the ones that blindsided us (the character who'd been helping Gormogon in Bones), and the ones where the betrayals are perpetrated by the good guys (Wiseguy.) Gimme what you got.

A note about spoilers: I'm pretty lackadaisical about spoilers, but I try to be courteous in general towards others. That being said, please remember the recent hiatus in my TV watching. I would prefer it if, for instance, all BSG after the mid-season break was avoided (I don't know that there's any particular reason I might need to make that request, I'm just hedging my bets).

Oh, if anyone wants to talk about examples from Spooks/MI-5 that would be great. The only complete series I've seen is the most recent one, the 7th, but I'd definitely be curious about how that issue has come up in the show.

What about if it looks like betrayal, but isn't? Like, say, "What about Bob"?

Also, um, the ones I can think of off the top of my head are spoilery spoilery, but are from old shows (B5, due South). But are really spoilery.

There's Jayne trying to hand River and Simon over to the Alliance in firefly (can't remember the episode title).

BSG you've got Baltar. And I suppose Sharon counts, but in the opposite direction.

Do you watch Merlin? And if not do you want spoilers for a betrayal in that?

Ha! I saw this post earlier and was all "Hey, that's been on my mind too!" Which was why I put up that "sticky note" post of my own, about things that I wanted to talk about, so I wouldn't forget them. :D

Great minds...
