Does anyone besides me wonder where the past 13 years went?


It's hard to believe that it's been 13 years since Millennium first aired. I recall watch the TV advertisements announcing it's coming. I remember being so excited that finally a good drama was coming on TV. I could never get into X-Files and the few shows I watched I thought they were great. But Millennium to me, especially that first season was so superb. After that it kind of fail by the way side. I know I taped each show religiously on my VCR each week. It was hard missing it but on Friday's nights high school football ruled especially when one had kids play. I couldn't wait to get home and watch them. To me the show rated a 10 in that first year. As I said before when O'Quinn, Smitrovich and Robin Gammell appeared on the scenes by then it was a grand slam so to speak. Does anyone else feel like me in the sense it seemed like 13 years ago was like yesterday? Last night I watched Lance Henriksen on Appaloosa. To me he's one of America's greatest character actors ever along with O'Quinn and Smitrovich. You know the faces and the voices. I also just caught O'Quinn on Heavens Gate with plenty of hair and a beard no less. It took me a few moments to figure out who he was until I heard his voice. I didn't even know he was in that movie. Henriksen did such a great job with that role on Appaloosa. If you haven't seen that movie watch it, you'll be surprised how great it is. 13 years! Geez!

I agree with you, I watched this series when it first came out too. It's hard to believe that so much time has passed. I started watching 'Millennium' again recently but it still seems so fresh. I wish they could have continued this series a lot longer, it had such great potential.

So sad it had to end.

I loved the X-Files, but I also loved Millenium. I think one of the main flaws with it was the dawning of the new millenium in reality. However, the series ended way before it's time. I would love for a movie and would love for a reboot, but only if L.H. can be in it.

But you are right, nothing beat the 90s with regards to cool shows, music, and culture.
