Has anyone else noticed how Rowan's monologue at the start of FILE:44 has direct parallels to Jedidiah's mindset in episode 68?
"You dream, day and night, of being a doctor, of healing the sick and wounded.-- "Your wife encourages you to go to school. Become a doctor, she says! But you can’t. Maybe you had that courage once, but she’s at home, and without your work to provide, you both couldn’t support your kids."-FILE44 "’cause when you’re a doctor, see, you’ll have all the money in the world"- "Anyway, if you shifted your focus onto him then your education would suffer, and that would doom the both of you; ’cause when you’re a doctor, see, you’ll have all the money in the world, and all the prestige, and that’s when you can afford to be his safety net, his shoulder to cry on, his lover" -File68
"Everything you do, you do for her, ultimately. Everything is about her."-FILE44 "This is everything he ever wanted… which is everything you ever wanted."-FILE68
"You hang up. You try again. Still nothing. You unplug it and plug it back in. No change. The machine is dead." -FILE44 "He’s not dead. Not yet. You feel it, a shuddering, grotesque mockery of breathing. But you must… well, how did you phrase it?"--"off and on again".-FILE68
There's probably more that I haven't noticed especially regarding the drowning segments in both of them.
I don't know what to do with this information rn and I'll probably come back later when I've collected my thoughts
