MILLENNIUM: Season 3 -- Not perfect, but still great!
Chris Carter's MILLENNIUM (1996-1999) was the greatest show, certainly in the history of the FOX network, if not television itself. <
> <
>Lance Henriksen played Frank Black for three years and 67 episodes in which this craggy, line-faced ex-FBI criminal profiler faced evil in all its conceivable incarnations to protect his wife and daughter Jordan from its wrath. <
> <
>The final season (1998-1999) was 22 episodes of decidedly mixed results: <
> <
>The show started with a two-part season premiere, beginning with "THE INNOCENTS". It was a mildly interesting story of a downed airliner and bizarre blondes, seemingly involving the Millennium Group. That continued with "EXEGESIS", in which Frank and his new FBI partner Emma Hollis tried to determine the Group's involvement. "TEOTWAWKI" (aka The End of the World as We Know It) was a story of school violence and survivalists awaiting Y2K. "CLOSURE" involved Emma's sister's death at a young age and the connection with a seemingly motiveless killer. <
> <
>"...THIRTEEN YEARS LATER" was an enjoyable Halloween story that somehow mixed murders patterned on 80s and 70s horror films, a performance by the band KISS, and the black comedy that the show tried to use in the second season. "SKULL & BONES" was the unusual story of buried bodies in Maine and the nebbishy young man who tried to escape the clutches of the Millennium Group. It showed what "really" happened to Cheryl Andrews (the great CCH Pounder), in case we weren't to believe last season's "THE HAND OF ST. SEBASTIAN". "THROUGH A GLASS, DARKLY" was the disturbing and atmospheric story of an Oregon child molester released after several years to his old hometown, only to have his past and a new set of crimes follow him there. "HUMAN ESSENCE" was a lame attempt at X-Files-esque horror in which Emma's junkie half-sister faced mutation-causing drugs in Vancouver. <
> <
>"OMERTA" (aka Holiday) was the infinately enjoyable Christmas episode in which a mobster resurfaces (from the dead?) after his healers, a couple of sweet sisters in the woods, are threatened. "BORROWED TIME" was the story of a series of drowning deaths that featured the return (in character, if not performance) of an angel from the first season! "COLLATERAL DAMAGE" was the story of Watts' daughter's kidnapping at the hands of a bitter ex-Gulf War soldier who blamed the Millennium Group. "THE SOUND OF SNOW" was the story of a series of recordings that seemed to cause deaths, leading Frank to face his wife Catherine's own demise. <
> <
>"ANTIPAS" was the story of Lucy Butler being the nanny for a Wisconsin senator's daughter, leading Frank to try to prove her as the evil woman she is. "MATRYOSHKA" was the intriguing mix of the origins of the Millennium Group, the Atom Bomb and J. Edgar Hoover's creation of both. "FORCING THE END" was the interesting story of a pregnant woman's kidnapping by a Jewish cult. "SATURN DREAMING OF MERCURY" was the story of Jordan's unhealthy fascination with the new kid on the block, a seemingly evil little boy with supernatural powers. <
> <
>"DARWIN'S EYE" was the great story of a young mental patient kidnapping and falling in love with a highway patrolman after her bloody escape. "BARDO THODOL" was an interesting tale of Millennium Group pseudoscience involving red bowls. "SEVEN AND ONE" introduced a new theme: Frank's fear of water and the haunting pictures of his own drowning! "NOSTALGIA" involved a murder in Emma's hometown. <
> <
>"VIA DOLOROSA" was part one of what turned out to be a two-part series finale. It was the story of an Ed Cuffle-esque serial killer seemingly engineered by the Millennium Group. Frank investigates as Emma's ties to the Group deepen. "GOODBYE TO ALL THAT" was the bittersweet finale in which Frank and Jordan had to finally escape from the Group as Watts and Emma gave in to their inconceivable futures. <
> <
>The series continued, sort of, in a seventh season X-FILES episode, fittingly titled "MillenniuM". It was the story of Frank helping FBI agents Scully and Mulder investigate mysterious graverobbings that lead to the discovery of zombies being conjured by the Group's remaining member. <
> <
>The show is, all in all, a success, if not totally. It had its lame moments and HUMAN ESSENCE is an all-time low. But the show, overall was great! <
> <
>A-!

Millennium - The Third and Final Season
Well, it's about time that the 3rd season of this show came out! I've been waiting a long time to complete my Chris Carter collection! I'm not going to list a description of every episode, because I don't want to ruin everything for first-time viewers. ;-) <
>Millennium underwent some drastic changes over its 3-year run; the first season, the Millennium Group seemed to be a legitimate criminal consultant firm, with interesting abilitiesm now employing ex-FBI agent Frank Black, who wants to raise his daughter in a safer world with his wife Catherine. Season 1 also introduced one of the darkest (and most underutilized) villains in the series; Lucy Butler, who could possibly be the devil. In the second season, Frank was smack-dab in the middle of it, seperated from his family as the Group became larger, darker, and more terrifying as its true knowledge and dangerous capabilities became known, leading to a viral outbreak in Seattle, which killed 80 people, including Catherine. Frank also encountered Lucy Butler, though she evaded him once again. <
> <
>In the 3rd season, Frank had left the Millennium Group and was back at the FBI, after recovering from the mental collapse he suffered from Catherine's death. He unofficially teamed up with Special Agent Emma Hollis, and they began attempting to bring Millennium to justice, which had become a distant, yet still dangerous villain. He also had one (maybe two; see Saturn Dreaming of Mercury and decide for yourself) more encounter with the evil Lucy Butler, who tried to tempt him into ruling the world with her (if that ain't the devil, what is?). We also got to see a lot more of his daughter Jordan in this season than the previous two, played by the gifted Brittany Tiplady, who I haven't seen in anything since a DELL computers commercial a few years back. The series ended with the apparent demise of Frank's onetime friend Peter Watts, and his taking his daughter and disappearing. <
> <
>Although Millennium's finale was reasonably conclusive, fans of the series, and Chris Carter himself, weren't quite satisfied with it, and made an episode which crossed Millennium with the X-Files, which took place on the Millennium Eve, Dec. 31, 1999 (and for those who say the new Millennium began in 2001, I quote Mulder: No one likes a math geek, Scully.), in which Frank Black teamed up with Mulder and Scully to save the world from ending. It seems they did! <
> <
>Millennium's 3rd season was the end of a great series, but I'm glad it ended where it did, instead of dragging through a 4th season which in all likelihood would've ruined it. Millennium had its full run, and ended successfully. Buy this season and complete the collection today! You won't be sorry!

A show before it's time-modern myth making at its best-
100% agree with the previous review. If imitation is the highest form of flattery etc......then the Millenium TV series is one of the most highly regarded TV shows ever produced. <
> <
>Sadly, the series ended prematurely....or did it? As a person who has viewed and studied every Millenium episode I make this observation: The three year phenomenon called Millenium gave birth to a number of the most successful TV series ever conceived. Shows about criminal profiling, crime scene investigation, missing persons, strange coincidences, secret societies, and psychic intuition regarding deeply dark deeds. <
> <
>Am I just an over zealous Millenium fan who sees the shows' influence everywhere I look? In fact,IMO, the prescience of Millenium scripts goes way beyond current TV series and extends to movies as well. You might think me completely over the edge when I also express the opinion that the writers and genius producer of Millenium also presaged a number of important and cataclysmic events in the world-dangers real, potential, and imagined that are on the minds of most of us today who bother to keep up with world events. <
> <
>The writing was simply inspired. Of course, the acting, directing, locations, etc etc. are of uniformly high quality. If, like me, you love Vancouver BC, then you'll love the locations. <
> <
>Curious? Then you owe it to yourself to acquire all three seasons, watch them in sequence, and judge for yourself. You be "The Judge". <
> <
>There is genius in this series. I personally believe that it was just too dead on accurate in hitting the deepest fears and vulnerabilities of most people to be allowed to continue. <
> <
>It was more than most could take. Can you? I dare you. The time is now.
