The Orpheus/Eurydice comparisons to Chris and Toby in Oz are literally driving me insane 'cause now that they said it, I can't unsee it.

Every single time one of them was in danger, the other one tried to save him, and he did save him. And every single time that saving was in vain after all because they couldn't let go of the other, 'cause they loved each other too much.

Just like Orpheus managed to get a deal to get Eurydice out of hell, Toby got Chris off death row. But both Toby's and Orpheus' devotion to the one they loved caused that person to go back to death. So in the end they both got their tragic end, one on earth, the other in hell, ultimately caused by the other one.

And they set this up way before Orpheus Descending, like when Chris killed the guys Toby slept with and Chris told him "you love me too much to see me die", when Chris took responsibility for Hanks death and they talked about the afterlife together.

"We'll see each other again. Back here, or in heaven."

Then of course the phone call, because if Toby had listened to him, if he had just walked away forever, it would've had ended differently. But he took that look.
