Sorry ratthingy, I've never seen it. I don't do sci-fi. Plus it probably conflicts with "Homicide"!

Didn't see it, what's going on with it? What happened in show 1?

I like Millenium - isn't it written by the same guy who writes the X-files? I always think so, because it's pretty cool - except when the dialogue gets 'deep'. Then it stinks. But otherwise it's cool.

Oh, to answer your question, Terry. Millenium is about a guy called, Frank Black, who 'sees' things. So he helps to solve murders and serial killings and stuff like that. He can sort of enter the mind of the killer, and see through the killer's eyes, and so manages to solve the crimes.

in the opening ep, we find out that frank's wife died as a result of the plague that was spreading in the season ender last season. he and his daughter used the vaccine provided by the millenium group to survive. they moved back to virginia. the episode begins with a big passenger plane crash. turns out some enemies of the millenium group were on the plane (some blond haired blue eyed clones). also turns out that the plague may have been released by the group to kill these people. frank is probably going to start fighting the millenium group and to make them answer for their crimes!

OH, COOL! His wife always irritated me! It's a brand new series then? That's great. Now that the wife is gone, he can get down to REAL business. Hope it comes to us soon!

hi wife irritated me to! sometimes i just wanted to smack her upside the head and tell her to chill out. the overarching message in the season opener did seem to be that this was going to be a new type of show, with frank actively fighting against the millenium group.

Like an alien type of show?

no, not like that at all. it is more of a good v. evil type of show, cast on a background of the federal, government and big conspiracies. frank black was an FBI serial killer expert who has a gift of being able to get right into a criminal's mind. in the beginning of the show, they portrayed frank as having just been through some horrible life changing experience, probably related to his getting to involved with his work of capturing serial killers. so he and his family move to seattle, and there frank is contacted by the Millenium Group. the MG is a shadowy group with a long, long history of thousands of years. their goal is to save the earth from the pending destruction they see coming in the new millenium. anyway, throughout the first seasons we follow frank as he and the millenium group help to fight evil. frank becomes disgruntled with the group when he begins to percieve it as more of a cult. at the end of last season some sort of horrible disease was released in and around seattle. it turns out that this disease was released by the MG to kill off a group of clones that represented some form of evil. in the process, frank's wife is killed by the plague. he and his daughter survive thanks to a vaccine supplied by the MG for it's members. in this season's opener, frank finds out that the MG was behind the plague and the death of his wife and thus sets out to bring the MG to justice.

yo wuz up

yo homey what it is my man?

thanks for the explanation ray!

Wonder if Ricky will stay... It's going to be so cool now that all the sentimental crap is out of the way - well perhaps not quite; perhaps they could kill the little girl off as well?

i think that they need some sort of balance between all of the morbidity and something nice. they will probably keep the little girl on the show.

Damn! I so like the morbidity.

The show is in it's best season yet. No more Run Kim Runs. The Terrorists captured the Secy of State but Jack got him back. Now they're blowing up a dozen or so nuke plants. Good season.

No more Run Kim Runs lol (i agree... do miss david palmer, though)...

Yeah, just wondering if they'll regress to Kim and/or David at some point. After all, isn't Kim his *daughter*. Doesn't she at least rate a phone call from time to time? I predict someone will be on the run soon and that we'll get at least one cameo of the old cast.

Last season was great. But we didn't talk about it.
