Earthnut Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 I too believe that Frank had a deeper understanding of the group, and himself, in this episode. Love the way you put it, "jolt of awareness." It was. I believe at the end Frank totally understood why the man had to leave the house, or die. Isn't it amazing how some MLM episodes remind us of The X-Files, and vice versa?

Guest revelations1_1 Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 Kat, that is perfect. Frank had just been "studying" Evil his whole life. Now Evil has turned its countenance upon Frank, letting him know that its personal. Big turning point for the series storyline. I think the dogs attacking, but not killing Frank was Evil's way of sending a warning. A "throw-down" if you will. . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IHaveGoodInstincts Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 I second (of third?) the Morgan and Wong musical influence seen here and also in the season 2 opener with the Talking Heads tune. Of course, there is Bobby Darren here too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matta2k Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 It seems unlikely this hasn't been mentioned in the seventeen years since this episode aired, but I see no mention of this on https://millennium-thisiswhoweare.net's episode guide under "bloopers." Here we have the scene where Frank first encounters the dogs and uses a wooden pallet to escape. These two individuals are hiding in the background. I'm usually terrible at spotting mistakes like these, but as I watched this episode today it jumped out enough that I had to rewind. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seesthru Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 It's about fear . The Bucksnort folks were imprisoned by fear. Be in before dark, live here not there, rules to keep them safe and the penalty for not following is death. They agreed to live like that in order to live in a safe little town, free from crime and modern terrors. Every one of them thought they moved to a safe place. What they didn't realize is that they lived in fear, were ruled by fear, and gave up their freedom to fear. The townies couldn't be out at certain times, couldn't enjoy a night sky in their "safe" little town. Latte guy couldn't enjoy a starbucks or any modern convenience he left behind. They all gave up something to live there, They all lived there because of fear. Latte Guys place was outside the agreed boundaries the fearful were given to reside in and upset the balance.

FrankBlack2 Posted October 16, 2016 Share Posted October 16, 2016 It took more than one viewing for me to grasp the implications in this episode as well....yes, by the end of it Frank has truly begun to acquire his first real "understanding" of the Group, of the tenacious grip it and humanity in general have against evil...especially ( only my opinion ) when he says "That's what I'm trying to tell you Michael...there's always going to be one more dog..."

seesthru Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 Frank also has the understanding that there will always be a fifth dog. Meaning, for every evil taken down, there is always another. Heavy stuff. I loved the Old man. Great character. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
