In Firefly, River freaks out = something bad happens is common, and yet Simon still always tries to convince her that there is nothing to worry about. Finally subverted in the movie, where they use her ability to sense trouble as an early warning system. The Virgilian Prophetess The Procession of the Trojan War into Troy by Giovanni Domenico Tiepolo, 1760, via The National GalleryWhilst he was still a shepherd, Paris was asked by three goddesses, Hera, Athena, and Aphrodite, to judge who amongst them should be given the golden apple as the fairest of all. This apple had been thrown amongst the gods by Eris, the goddess of strife and discord, whilst they were attending the wedding feast of Peleus and Thetis. As Eris had not been invited, she decided to take her revenge by throwing this golden apple to sow discord amongst the gods.

Cassandra from Chameleon Moon lives up to her name, having horrific visions of the future that no one believes.In the conventional versions of the myth, Cassandra received her gift of prophecy, as well as her curse, from the god Apollo. The disregard for Cassandra’s prophecies resulted in tragedies befalling those around her and a gut-wrenching fate for Cassandra herself. Cassandra of Troy is mentioned in the works of various Classical authors, including Homer, Virgil, as well as the Greek tragedians Euripides and Aeschylus.

Cassandra, daughter of the king and queen, in the temple of Apollo, exhausted from practising, is said to have fallen asleep; whom, when Apollo wished to embrace her, she did not afford the opportunity of her body. On account of which thing, when she prophesied true things, she was not believed.Jaime Lannister also noted to Brienne that Varys warned Aerys not to open the doors of King's Landing to Tywin, believing quite rightly that Tywin had scented a Kingmaker Scenario and wanted to finish Aerys and King's Landing for good. In Season 3, nobody believes Nancy about the missing fertilizer, even before her boss gets Flayed and has a good reason for trying to shut down her operation. Buffy was in this situation a few times, such as when she thinks her mother's new boyfriend is evil and that her new college roommate is a demon. In both of these instances, the others assume her to be overreacting to feeling uncomfortable about having her mother dating someone (who actually seems very nice) and having a roommate who's just very annoying. Cassandra predicted Troy’s destruction at the hands of the Greeks in the Trojan War, yet no one heeded her warnings. Beware of Greeks bearing gifts

Given as a concubine to Agamemnon, the king of Mycenae who led the Greek forces during the Trojan War, Cassandra had been reduced to a slave. She tried to warn him that she had seen the future and that if they returned to Mycenae they would both die, but to no avail. Agamemnon ignored her warning, they returned to Mycenae and whilst he was away fighting at Troy, his wife, Clytemnestra plotted with her lover Aegisthus to kill the king when he returned home. Once again, Cassandra’s prophecy came true and Agamemnon was murdered. Many of the early whistleblowers in The '30s had this problem. The ruling bodies of Europe were not able to grasp the dangers of fascism until war was almost upon them. Thus, the intellectuals who tried to warn about imminent danger were often ridiculed, and many ended up fleeing to Britain or America, or otherwise imprisoned or executed during World War II as 'subversives'.
