Remember when we all thought this little look they give each other in Plus One was because Mulder’s hard on was poking Scully in the back?

My name is Fox and this is Dana

This song seems to perfectly sum up the unspoken feelings being communicated in the bed conversation in Plus One.

Beware - listening to this will probably give you a massive attack of the angst feels.  It did me!

What if there was no lie Nothing wrong, nothing right What if there was no time And no reason, or rhyme

What if you should decide That you don't want me there by your side That you don't want me there in your life

What if I got it wrong And no poem or song Could put right what I got wrong Or make you feel I belong

What if you should decide That you don't want me there by your side That you don't want me there in you life

Oooooooh that's right Let's take a breath try to put it aside Ooooooh that's right How can you know it if you don't even try Ooooooh that's right

Every step that you take Could be your biggest mistake It could bend or it could break That's the risk that you take

What if you should decide That you don't want me there in your life That you don't want me there by your side

William in 11x01 evokes Emily in 5x07.

Langley in 11x02 evokes Esther in 5x11.

The Poundstone twins in 11x03 evoke Modell and Bowman in 5x08.

This isn’t a complaint, by any means, it’s more wondering whether this is all intentional and the similarities exist for a specific reason. Maybe it’s just me, but the parallels in the stories have been to clear to ignore, and it makes me wonder if we’re seeing real life or if we’re stuck in a vision or dream or some other altered reality.
