Trivia[]

  • The episode's title could be an off-color parody of the phrase "The ayes have it."
  • It's interesting to note that the episode's unsub, Earl Bulford, has a very similar name to Earl Fulford, a former U.S. Army officer who was present at the Roswell crash site in 1947. He recently appeared on A&E's UFO Hunters to tell his story. The writer of "The Eyes Have It", Oanh Ly, was a writing assistant to Breen Frazier, who wrote several episodes of Roswell (a show based on the crash) in the 1990s. Whether or not this was an intentional reference is unknown.
