“Millennium”

This episode had a couple major things. One of them was this served as closure for the TV series Millennium, a FOX show also created by Chris Carter. Millennium had been on FOX for three years, but had been canceled. Since it was canceled after the final episode had been recorded, which left the show on a cliffhanger, this crossover helped put that series to bed.

Lance Henriksen starred as Frank Black, a former FBI profiler, in both this episode and the series, Millennium. I watched a few episodes of that series, but I never got into as much as I did the X-Files.

The other major event here was a kiss between Mulder and Scully. This was done at New Year’s Eve as they watched Dick Clark reporting on the ball drop at New York Times Square for the year 2000, which was, of course, the turn of the Millennium.

This had a story of zombies and it felt a bit off for the show. The zombies here were reanimated corpses of former FBI agents, and there were moments that were creepy. However, I just felt this was too unlike an X-Files episode. It was a Monster-of-the-week episode, but these zombies were too up in your face for the X-Files.

I’m am glad those fans of Millennium got to say goodbye to Frank Black and his daughter Jordan.
