#at least txf had the decency to make msr canon like 3 episodes later

watching the x files and thinking about twd and realizing the leah plotline in twd is beat for beat almost the exact same as the fowley plotline in the x files

random character who has never been mentioned before is revealed to be a previous love interest of main male character, random character is shown to have very obvious similarities to main female character (dead sons in twd, x files partners and dana/diana names in the x files), random character leaves main male character and he is sad about this, finding out about this makes main female character upset and jealous (bit more obvious in the x files), random character returns and turns out to be evil, random character spares/saves main male character, random character ends up dying unceremoniously (this is the only thing that really deviates here and I can't say which one I like better because I hate them both), random character's death is mentioned once, main male character does not mourn or really care at all, random character is NEVER MENTIONED AGAIN

#at least txf had the decency to make msr canon like 3 episodes later #at this rate I feel like I'll be 70 before we get caryl canon #but anyway like am I losing it #why would they copy the most hated plotline #also if any of these details are a little off it's bc I haven't seen either of these plotlines in quite a while lol #it is fast approaching in txf and I am dreading it #maybe caryl will go canon in the year 3000
