The paranoia. The determination to apply rationality to something unknowable. The need to know. Them drinking their coffee the same way. Them keeping bones in their offices. Pushing away their connections. The way they instinctively get what the other is saying. The fear of being puppeteered around. Them being both nerds and old men at heart. The fact that their names are similar. And it was all unintentional.
This is genuinely insane. I’m 90% sure I remember Ben Meredith saying his Elias voice is a copy of Jon’s but more smug. You know this. You make Jon speak as Elias/Jonah for your grand season finale. You do nothing with this. I’m biting.
season 4 Q&A part 2:
JONNY: It was actually- it was actually incredibly simple. Uh, because Ben once confided in me that his Elias voice had originally just been based on my Archivist voice just making it a bit more smug.
