It's never been stated that he's the same Elliot who bounces at the Horrible Revelation. If he isn't, then there are two large people named Elliot running around town, which is entirely possible.

Late response and all that.
In real life that might be true, in fiction however... There is a trope for it, I just don't know the word right now. The gist of it is basically that in most fictional works there's only 1 of each first name.
wrwight:
meh, I dunno. Jesse Isenberg is more like a young Vince Vaughn. He likes to go on with these long monologues and is comfortable in either a funny or serious role, or some combination of the two. I don't see him as a good Marten. Then again, I don't really see Michael Cera as a good Marten either. In any case, I think we're headed toward the contents of another thread, so I'll leave it at that.
Is it cold in here?:
I think it's called "Too Many Steves".
New people who are wondering what's going on and maybe being frightened, the initial problem was violations of the rule about this being Jeph's comic and not ours, and the anti-shipping rule. Marten and Padma haven't shown the mutual interest that would make an affair legitimate speculation. Propounding a scenario that isn't latent in the comic is fanfic; if a sexual one, it's slashfic; and insisting that it's the only right way to do things is telling Jeph what to do. If you do something like that accidentally, you're unlikely to get banned the first time, especially if you make it clear that you meant to follow the rules in the first place. The banned individual actually got worse.

"Haha, the dad from Full House plays a little robot who swears a lot."(Bob Saget's stand up work isn't exactly clean from what I've heard, but most people don't know that.)

I would TOTALLY pay money to see a QC movie with Bob Saget as Pintsize. That would be so freakin' awesome.
Back to topic:
As has been said above just because we don't see it "on screen" doesn't mean it's not happening but it is nice to see Faye demonstrate that she cares about Marten. The group dynamics of the cast have shifted quite a bit over the past (real life) year or so and it's good to get a reaffirmation of at least the central character connection even if it is played mostly for laughs.

I'm surprised nobody brought it up when Clinton's hand was a plot point.
