Ben and Ben


So Carter's "brother" is named Ben.
Crash's brother who "died" was also named Ben.
Coincidence? Or future mind-blowing story line?

reply

Or just absent minded writers? So weak if they just didn't care enough to name them different names.

reply

Well, people share names in real life too. Especially an ordinary name like Ben. Now if it was Cyrus or Saint, I'd be a little more worried.

that would be SO WEAK on the part of the writers if they gave the "brothers" the same name

It's not like Ben is an unusual name.
When I was in high school my brother dated a girl who's brother had the same name as him.
I have two cousins who each married someone named Chelsea.
Why can't a tv show have two characters with the same name? Especially when one is barely even mentioned and never shown.

the way this show is going, it would not surprise me.
