4 out of 5 stars The Four Horsemen are Charging!    October 6, 2008
Eric S. Kim (Southern California)

The second season of "Millennium" takes a competely different turn than what Chris Carter had intended. The writers Glen Morgan and James Wong took control over the project when Chris Carter had so much in his hands (the continuation of "The X Files" TV series, and the "X Files" movie). Here, Morgan and Wong focused more on the Millenium Group and its religious & political origins, backgrounds, authoritarian leadership, etc. There are much fewer episodes that deal with serial killers and mass murderers, which is a bit disappointing to me (Season One is still my favorite season). When watching the second season, the atmosphere is similar to "The X-Files," only this deals more of the cult rather than aliens and government conspiracies.

But it's NOT a terrible season, really. The Millennium Group is quite interesting, and there is much more suspense here than in the first season. Lance Henriksen returns in his perfect portrayal of Frank Black, a man who has a gift of seeing into the minds of killers and madmen. Catherine Black, played by Megan Gallagher, is absent in many episodes, so it's sort of a loss. Kristen Cloke is no doubt a great actress, but the character she plays (Lara Means) is somewhat of an irritant in several episodes ("Monster," "Anamnesis," and "Midnight of the Century".) but in other episodes she adapts well to the environment ("Owls and Roosters" rings a bell). Terry O'Quinn returns as Peter Watts, and his chemstry with Frank becomes deeper and more sophisticated.

Episodes that stand out are:
* Beware of the Dog - you get a sense of what the Millennium Group is all about.
* A Single Blade of Grass - Native American mythology is so fascinating.
* The Curse of Frank Black/Midnight of the Century - Awesome Halloween and Christmas episodes; we delve into Frank's past in a creepy and beautiful way.
* Luminary - Astrology and Astronomy are the central keys here.
* The Mikado - FINALLY, an episode about a serial killer. This one, named "Avatar," is similar to that of the notorious Zodiac Killer, and he uses the internet as his killing ground. Lost of tension here.
* Owls/Roosters - A two-part episode that's also about the Millenium Group. Wagner's "Parsifal" is so refreshing to listen to here.
* The Fourth Horsemen/The Time is Now - This is the finale to Season Two, and it's both tragic and scary. The Marburg Virus returns and the Millenium Group is the one that's letting it affect people all across the globe.

The weakest episodes have to be "19:19" and "Anamnesis." The teenage characters of "Anamnesis" are completely annoying, and the religious overtone in both are a bit too much for me.

Overall, this is a completely different atmosphere than in Season One. But it's good nonetheless. I give this a 4/5.


5 out of 5 stars Chris Carter does it again    April 12, 2008

Another masterpiece by Chris Carter, great scripts, great acting. It's ashame the idiot critics didn't think so. I guess this was about the time Hollywood got lazy and just started rolling out those mindless reality shows. Millennium's plots were apparently to deep for most, who would rather vegitate watching morons running around trying to figure out how to "survive" on an island. Thanks Chris for three great seasons of Millennium. Maybe one day people will be ready again for shows with real substance.

the quality continues in this the 2nd season. The stories here are a little deeper psychologically and emotionally. Frank's connection with the mysterious 'Millennium Group' intensifies even as his personal life and marriage crumbles. A nice progression and growth from season 1.

I enjoyed season 1 of Millennium, but my first love for Chris Carter was X-Files, and season 1 was certainly not in the same vain as X-Files. Some people liked that it was different, but I was looking for some more episodes that were interconnected. I got my wish in Season 2. The show took on a more X-Files-ish tone and created its own rich mythology. The secrets of the Millennium Group were a good hook to keep me interested for the whole season. If you've enjoyed Chris Carter's work before, give this season a shot.

You know when you watch some TV series made a few years ago they date badly and look even silly Not Millennium the quality of this series is first rate the production, stories and the cast stand up very well against shows today. The second season delved more into the Millennium group and Frank Blacks candidacy into the group. This is a dark show meaning lots of murders, conspiracies and a twist of Biblical prophesy thrown into the mix makes for a great show. I think it was better than X-Files American networks were nuts to cut this series short.
