I'd like this to be a Chris Carter kind of series/film thread, that being:
The X-Files (series and movies)
Millennium
The Lone Gunmen
Harsh Realm (added!)
kicking it off, I just watched the entire millennium series.
at the time it was on the network I was a very big fan.
I watched it all the way up to halfway through season 2
but sat the rest out since I worked on the weekends.
So it was great to finally get closure and see the whole series through.
I thought it brought a lot to the table though.
Frank Black has his almost psychic intuition and insight into the killer's mo
but it wasn't a story gimmick that was abused too much through the series.
additionally although the series dabbled in the mysticism dealing with the
millennium group, I thought the real strengths were the arcs dealing with good and evil.
In fact, my favorite episodes are with lucy butler.
or millennium's equivalent of legion (also called in the series "the base sum of evil")
ultimately I think it was a great series.
even when there were campy episodes,
they tended to rebound story wise towards the end of the episode,
making it worth watching.
like "the devil got behind me" where you had 4 demons talking together
about stories all loosely connected to Frank Black.
I've read that there was loose talk that there might be a Millennium movie,
but that was directly related to if the dvd sales did well.
:fingerscrossed:
I'm a fan of Lance Henriksen, his deadpan voice and demeanor is
phenomenal and to me he totally made the Millennium series with his Frank Black character.
