Much as I love Lance, he's been saying this for years.  And at this point it's questionable whether Chris Carter could get funding, even if he wanted to do a Millennium movie.  So yeah, I'm pretty sure Lego Millennium is all we're going to see.

One thing that I didn't think about during the episode but that kind of bugs me now.  How could House think the "This Is Your Life" routine would work.  Wilson would have to remember the faces of at least some of the patients he saved, and there's no way the actors could be perfect physical matches.  So obviously the

I'm in the pro-Yi camp.  For this scene it helps that she punctuates the line by beating House's head in.

Yeah, if I wanted the Culps to make a return appearance I'd have let you know, SNL.

Actually Dubya said he used to catch hell from President Cheney.

And Shelley Berman on the previous episode is the poor man's William Bell.

Yeah, for me that's one of the things the X-Files lost when it left its Vancouver studios.  Of course it didn't help the show overall that they were losing talent on the writing side, but we'll get to that at some point I'm sure.

Elam's character is the best part, by far.  His motives are a little ambiguous, which is a feature of the anthology format in a lot of cases.  I tend to think that he believes the who Martian hunt is silly - which in real life terms it is - and so he's just having maximum fun with it.

Yeah, I'm sort of glad that I've never had the chance to find out.

Aw I'm sick of him
Always grabbin' his you know what
Flippin' his you know who
(All three of his you know whos)

"Martian" is at least the second ep of season 2 to feature a stripper of a certain age as one of the main characters.  I just want to go on record as having no problem with this at all.

He was the boyfriend of the sister of the guy who turned into a porcupine while under TSA lockdown.  At the end of the episode they both signed up for Jones' wacky experiments.

Yeah, all the humans in Bell's new paradise being descended from one couple.  That's… cue banjo music.

Peter's "Doesn't mean we can't interrogate her" was a callback to what Nina said about John Scott in the pilot, of course.

That's exactly what I was thinking.  Basically there were thirty seconds at the end to remind us that Fringe wasn't totally over.

"Abby Normal?"
"I'm almost sure that was the name."

That was a boss scene, yeah.  Not many TV shows can make me feel like I just took the brown acid.

Nay.  Five more uhmahzing years of Penny.

Mighty Mighty Bosstones weren't swing revival, they were shitty 9th generations ska.

Yeah, I remember Anne Heche's guest appearance on Ellen.  Anyone who thinks that lady should be allowed within 500 feet of a sitcom set needs a new brain.
