Cross Over Events

I’ve been working my way through The X-Files again. I am up to season four now. The last two episodes have had major cross overs with The Walking Dead. Who knew?

In 1996 Laurie Holden played a U.N. worker (who may be Mulder’s next informant?) on The X-Files. In 2010 she played Andrea on The Walking Dead. Unfortunately Andrea the comic character was a bad ass, awesome character while Andrea the T.V. character… not so much. Sorry.

In 1996 Pruitt Taylor Vince played a psycho wack-a-do on The X-Files in a freak of the week episode. In 2011 he made a pretty huge impact on The Walking Dead as Otis, even though he was only in two (or was it three?) episodes. First he accidentally shot someone important (oops) then he became a gigantic plot device to turn a good guy bad.

Will there be more connections to come? I wonder. There are still a ton of X-Files episodes to watch, and 11 years worth of The Walking Dead. There could be 100 more cross overs for all I know.
