X-files Homicide and Law and order are all set in same universe.

X-files Homicide and Law and order are all set in same universe.

Since they're all supposed to take place in our universe, that kind of makes sense...

This is akin to Iain (M) Banks pointing out (as he has done) that, actually, his mainstream books take place within the continuity of his SF books, given that State of the Art shows that present day Earth exists within the Culture universe, and his mainstream novels are all set on present day Earth...

I can't imagine someone so bothered by this that they have trouble sleeping. It's all just TV. None of it is real. Have fun with it.

Well, the theory of the website is that if A and B and connected and and B and C are connected, then A and C are connected (I'm now having flashes of proofs in high school geometry coming back).

Just because shows might share characters doesn't mean they are connected, as such.

We know Law & Order and Homicide share a universe, because they had regular crossovers.

But the mere existence of a *character* from one show, on another show, does not necessarily link the two. For example, as I already pointed out, just because John Munch appears in seven or so different series, doesn't mean they all share the same universe. Indeed, X-Files is proof against that.

I agree. That's how it is with all of Quentin Tarantino's movies as well. A lot of them share the same characters, but they don't necessarily all exist in the same universe. Otherwise, you'd have a bunch of different people who look exactly like Quentin Tarantino running around in the same universe (since he likes to play characters in his own movies, but plays a different character in each movie), and it really makes no sense, lol.

which is mentioned on the site...

he also assumes that just because the Montecito from Las Vegas appears in a show, all other shows NBC used those sets on are set in the same universe.

which is daft since buildings can be seen in fictional buildings in different universes and have different things happen there. like, for example, the White House...

yes, but the Montecito is a fictional location created for the show Las Vegas. If another show uses those sets, and there is something in that show that identifies the hotel as the Montecito, then I think it works as a crossover according to poobala.com's criteria.

If the set is used, but nothing shown identifies it as the Montecito, then it shouldn't be a crossover.

Does this mean that The Simpsons and The X-Files are also set in the same universe then?

SVU has totally butchered Munch's backstory. I still adore Homicide!

so its not out of the realm of possibility to see law and order: x-files unit?
