ALSO: The Jose Chung episode was in the second season of Millenium. You’re off the hook re: the forgettable season 3.

Right! I’d forgotten Millenium had that Jose Chung episode. That was a seriously messed up hour of television, and at the time I was too young to entirely realize the degree to which it was satirizing Scientology.

That X-Files episode is indeed included with the final Millennium set (here’s a fun fact for all you middle of the road X-Files fans out there: it was the very first episode where Scully & Mulder shared a kiss!). Though for me, the series truly ended with the second season. It’s so weird how the last episode of the second season felt like “Well, we’re definitely not going to get renewed, so we may as well go balls out crazy!” And then the show got picked up for a third season… but only to be made into X-Files.

But it also has the Jose Chung episode, so I may get the third season after-all.

nope. i was right.

The series ended not with a bang but a whimper. Episode 7#05 of The X-Files, entitled “Millennium”, saw Lance Henriksen and Brittany Tiplady (in a cameo appearance) reprise their roles as Frank and Jordan alongside Mulder and Scully in a tale of necromancy and zombification of former Millennium Group members on the cusp of 1999/2000. Fans have panned the episode’s attempt to wrap up the loose threads of the series, criticisms that Henriksen has outspokenly shared in interviews.

Millennium is my all time favorite series over the X-Files. Never got the DVDs… but I’m curious if the final episode of Millennium is in that set or the X-Files set.

the TRUE last episode was actually and episode of the X-Files in a crossover episode that resolved things with Frank and his daughter.

anyone else remember/know about this?

Millenium had its moments … and, yes, that second season finale was one of them. Worth it just for the part at the start where the guy tries to dial the phone but his fingers melt blood when he tries to hit the buttons. One thing I liked about that series was how it’s gradually suggested that Frank has the ability to see demons-on-earth, while Lara has the complementary ability to see angels.

Did you watch any of “The Inside” last summer? It was helmed by Tim Minear, of Wonderfalls / Firefly / Angel fame, with a few episodes penned by former writers from such. It was another catch-the-serial-killer show that, at first glance, doesn’t have a hook but is in fact very well put together. It didn’t have a supernatural angle, the focus was more psychological, and the on-going mysteries focused on a couple of the main characters and how they came to be who they are. It managed to be both funny and very dark — many episodes (the best ones!) ended with incredible but convincing sucker punches. Of course, Fox shelved it until the summer and then aired it for a few weeks in a crap timeslot with no promotion before dropping it entirely. The last few episodes recently aired in Britain; the full 13-episode run can be pieced together from torrents. No news on a DVD release yet. Anyway, just thought I’d recommend that show, it deserves far more credit than it got.
