The Wolverine Foreshadowed the Ending of Logan
Logan director James Mangold had the film's conclusion planned out quite a while ago. In fact, he foreshadowed Logan's ending in an prior movie he directed starring the clawed mutant, The Wolverine.
Warning: Logan spoilers follow.
In The Wolverine, a mutant who can see the future named Yukio tells Wolverine (Hugh Jackman): "I see you on your back, there’s blood everywhere. You're holding your own heart in your hand." While this prophetic word does come to pass the The Wolverine, when Logan must carve out a parasite that is embedded in his heart and inhibiting his regeneration ability, it is also realized in Logan.
At the conclusion of the film, when Logan is on death's door covered in blood, he's figuratively holding his "heart" as he grips the hand of his daughter. A fan on Twitter (via Collider) spotted the connection and Mangold retweeted the post, confirming that he indeed was foreshadowing this moment during The Wolverine.

The Top 10 Buffy the Vampire Slayer Episodes
20 years ago, Joss Whedon turned the just-okay movie he wrote -- but wasn't happy with -- into an exemplary, game-changing TV show that would influence dozens of sci-fi and fantasy projects to come while also elevating genre TV as a whole. Debuting on the WB network on March 10th, 1997, Buffy the Vampire Slayer showed the world that triumphant television could be made from stories featuring a teenage girl battling vampires, demons, and other assorted things that go bump in the night.
Buffy would make TV history as an unexpectedly moving, thrilling, funny, and socially aware series that was a perfect mixture of comedy, drama, and heart. Oh, and monster slaying. It was an ensemble that would help redefined the notion of a ragtag team while giving us teen, and eventually college-age, angst and anxiety among the backdrop of a perpetually nye apocalypse.
