As Haplo from the Death Gate Cycle would say; "There is no such thing as coincedence."
I write some fantasy, and am scripting a Television show, and I really think I've noticed not only all these seeming "rip-offs" and "mimicry" sorts of things, and have done a few myself. Not that there's anything wrong, like Saruman to Sauron, immitation is the highest form of flattery.
