Talk:Millennium (TV series)

message: I think I have only seen a couple of episodes of Millenium but I don't think it is correct that Millenium be considered a spin-off of The X-Files.
Here is what found in the article about Spin-offs:
"Media spin-off is the process of deriving new radio, video game, film series, book series or television programs from existing ones."
For Millenium to be a spin-off of The X-Files that would mean that it had character(s) and/or situations that originated in The X-Files. From what I read Frank Black and his storyline was first introduced in Millenium not The X-Files. Therefore it is not an X-Files spin-off. It is not an X-Files spin-off as Millenium was developed on its very own.
Millenium being thought of as an X-Files spin-off is perhaps due to the crossover with The X-Files to conclude the Millenium storyline as it was not done so in Millenium itself since it was abruptly cancelled.
This crossover is the first time that it has been established that The X-Files & Millenium takes place in the same universe. Since there was no prior establishment of this it is not the basis to describe Millenium as an X-Files spin-off.
For instance there was a Doctor Who/Eastenders crossover but that does not automatically mean that Eastenders is a spinoff of Doctor Who. --The Shadow Treasurer (talk) 07:19, 13 August 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Is Millenium really a spin-off of the X-Files? 

message: The latest addition seems a little questionable to me. While no one in the series may have stated in so many words that Frank was psychic, it doesn't seem like that much of a stretch to interpret statements that he has a "gift" or a "curse" as having psychic abilities. Can you really name any books, TV shows or movies (or even games) where a character is psychic and it isn't described as a gift and/or a curse? -DynSkeet (talk) 14:19, July 25, 2005 (UTC)
In one of the first few episodes, this dialogue is exchanged:
Frank: I see what the killer sees.
Bletcher: What, like a psychic?
Frank: No. I put myself in his head. I become the thing we fear the most. 220.245.184.91 14:30, 7 November 2005 (UTC)

Maybe you should ask her, you can reach her at 555-CRAZY. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.91.212.198 (talk) 20:59, 29 January 2009 (UTC)

message: In the Millennium theme song, who do you see walking on a bridge? Who is the lady that appeared wearing a dress? To see please go to www.retrojunk.com, or watch it on DVD. You know the part where you hear a violn playing. First you see a lady, then a statue, then a explosion from a house. The cast appears, when it says "Created by Chris Carter." (at the age of 41 when he did this), you will see a lady walking, who is it. It ends on a house. Who old was this lady? To watch video clip of the theme song, please go to www.retrojunk.com/details_tvshows/675-millennium/ —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 205.196.178.200 (talk) 19:51, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: My recollection off hand is that it was the director's daughter? or someone close to Chris Carter. It's her only screen appearance. (StarkeRealm 09:58, 14 October 2007 (UTC)

message: The comment: "It is unclear whether or not Lucy Butler is just another manifestation of Legion, a question made more complicated by the fact that the writers of the show don't seem to have originally intended to suggest there was a being named Legion behind the evil Frank was confronting each week, and the concept seems to have been spackled into the show's self-contradicting mythology by online fans seeking a pattern. It was only in season three that the writers, probably reacting to online speculation, began to consciously deal with Legion. " seems quite biased and subjective. I don't know anything about this series, but I suggest someone familiar with it re-write for objectivity. Or, if this is objective, expand and provide citation.
-Thucydides
:The problem is, it was Lucy Butler who may or may not have been the demon who called himself Legion. But, it was Lucy Butler who did most of the things attributed to Legion in the character section. Legion wasn't a major player for most of the series, if the judge was really Legion at all. (StarkeRealm 10:05, 14 October 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Inspiration for Frank Black character 

message: I am writing an article about all of the series which are in the same shared reality as this one through spin-offs and crossovers. I could use a little help expanding the article since it is currently extremely dense and a bit jumbled with some sentence structures being extremely repetitive. I would like to be able to put this article into article space soon. Any and all help in writing the article would be appreciated, even a comment or two on the talk page would help. Please give it a read through, also please do not comment here since I do not have all of the series on my watch list. - LA @ 17:09, 16 March 2008 (UTC)

message: Rawreader had edited out a large chunk of material without discussion. The material removed was from a major source of Millennium which was not opinion but indeed culled from the statements of the series producer Chris Carter. Rawreader should be a bit more diplomatic about his/her edits when other members have obviously invested alot of time here. Saying 'I have possession of the edits is not only unethical but a bit untrustworthy. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.248.146.160 (talk) 22:09, 31 January 2009 (UTC)

message: Who are the picture Nazis who have made the only point of their miserable existence to go after pictures that I placed here? Before you place a removal for fair use on the pictures, why not have the common decency to discuss it first? Then you might realize that your overeagerness and lack of control were wrong and that the pictures were in fair use?
