context_page_description: "'522666" is the fifth episode of the first season of the American crime-thriller television series Millennium. It premiered on the Fox network on November 22, 1996. The episode was written by Glen Morgan and James Wong, and directed by David Nutter. "522666" featured guest appearances by Sam Anderson, Hiro Kanagawa and Joe Chrest.
  Millennium Group consultant Frank Black is approached by the FBI when a series of bombs are detonated in Washington, DC. Black's investigation soon reveals that the culprit seeks to be seen as a hero, setting off explosions in order to rescue people from the scenes; leaving Black to track down the fame-hungry bomber before more people are killed.
  "522666" was one of many collaborations between Nutter, Morgan and Wong, with the three having worked together on several television series previously. The episode opens with a reference to existentialist philosopher Jean-Paul Sartre, and featured Henriksen performing all of his own stunts.
context_section_description: "522666" was directed by David Nutter, who had directed both "Pilot" and "Gehenna" previously, and would also direct "Loin Like a Hunting Flame" later in the season. Writers James Wong and Glen Morgan had previously written "Dead Letters", and would go on to write an additional thirteen episodes during the first and second seasons of the series. Nutter, Morgan and Wong had all previously collaborated on both Millennium's sister show The X-Files, and the Morgan and Wong-created series Space: Above and Beyond.
  Guest star Hiro Kanagawa, who portrays FBI special agent Takahashi, has appeared several times in Millennium's sister show The X-Files, in the second and fourth seasons; as well as in The X-Files' spin-off series The Lone Gunmen. Kanagawa would also make several more appearances on Millennium, acting in unrelated roles in the episodes "The Time Is Now", "Human Essence", and "Bardo Thodol". The episode also featured a guest appearance by William MacDonald as FBI Agent Nolan; MacDonald would later reappear in the third season episode "Through a Glass Darkly".
  Lance Henriksen performed all his own stunts in this episode, having been introduced to acting by a stuntman friend of his. The episode opens with a quote from French existentialist philosopher and writer Jean-Paul Sartre—"I am responsible for everything... except my very responsibility", which was taken from the 1943 treatise Being and Nothingness. Sarte's writing echoes the motivations of the character of Raymond Dees, with author N. E. Genge noting that both believed that "just because the individual was incapable of changing destiny alone was no reason for him to stop trying".
