The X-Files episode Millennium was so cool!

I made a thread about it i think, or maybe i made that on the X-files board. Woudla been like a year ago by now haha so who knows.

I too love the episode, but i do have some major beefs. It didn't feel like Millennium. It was AWESOME seeing Frank Black again, but the episode plays out like X-Files DOES Millennium, rather then the two meeting on equal ground. It was X-Files take on the Millennium story/universe rather then an even mismash of the two, if that makes more sense. The zombies and all that was just too over the top and supernatural for Millennium, even with some of the absurdity the 3rd season forced on us.

I also got the feeling that it somehow was meant to be some final goodbye or conclusion to Millennium, and it fails MISERABLY if that was truly the intent. For starters, the entire premise makes no sense. Apparently, even in spite of how massive and far reaching the Millennium group was, it was this miniscule handful of loons and their wild zombie plot who would potentially bring on the end times. It was too hokey and way too farfetched. There's no way this immeasurably powerful millennium group would come down to something that small. There's no way THIS was what it was allll about. I also never thought the year 2000 factored in that significantly into the millennium mythos. Yes, that is the shows name and it originally was dealing with certain fears/prophecies and all that relating to the coming of the new millenium, but the show and its story went soooo much deeper then that. It ultimately was more about evil and the nature of evil itself rather then merely some timeline, which actually didn't play much of a part in the show at all. It was "bad things are coming soon..." not "bad things are coming jan 1 2000!!!". Things were more ambiguous in the show, more open. From what i remember of the X-Files ep they kinda forced this focus back to the millenium itself, which i felt made for a weak and less interesting take on things.

Still a great X-Files ep, very fun, very creepy, nice plot(if you can get over it not really jiving with Millenium itself well, if at all).

It was great seeing Frank Black again, but come on really.. The Millennium group plan was to bring on the end times with zombies? Before the series was cancelled, we learned that the Millennium Group had major power inside the u.s government and around the world.. But the x-files episode the group was reduced to a wacky group that did some consulting for the FBI from time to time..
