Raven Wolf Posted April 19, 2005 Share Posted April 19, 2005 Well....at least you passionaly like SOMETHING about the show! Thank you! I loved "Somehow, Satin" and "Jose Chung" , too, and found them quite fitting for the overall theme of the series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Toney Posted April 19, 2005 Share Posted April 19, 2005 I find it odd how the eps get a mixed reaction from fans. When other series do episodes that are somewhat different (and they're actually good), the fans love them. But with these episodes, the fans recognise that they're good but don't particularly like them. Buffy has done a musical episode, and it's probably the episode that every single fan loves. It's nothing like the others but it was Good, so it was liked. Same with Humbug and the X-Files Jose Chung episode: you never see X-Files fans say that those are the worst episodes in the series. I think it's because the 2 comedy eps are making a mockery out of the whole show, is the reason why they're often not liked by the 'hardcore'.

Am I the only one that thinks the MillenniuM opening credits seem completely out of place after Jose Chung's opening monologue?! and after the cafe scene in Somehow satan got behind me?! don't get me wrong i love the episodes but i don't consider them to be millennium episodes at all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Father Karras Posted April 19, 2005 Share Posted April 19, 2005 I have to say that most of the season 3 episodes didn't do it for me. I also agree that 13 years was not a great episode but I did smile at Frank profiling the killers from slasher flicks. FK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest MillenniumIsBliss Posted April 20, 2005 Share Posted April 20, 2005 Hmm, I was not aware that there were that many Millennium board members who did not like the "lighter" episodes. I thought it was more of a mix with the majority liking them and the minority not caring for it, albeit a good size minority. Personally, I loved them both. I thought they fit perfectly in the series, and I felt that "Jose Chung" in particular was brilliant. I think it showed how much range the show and writers had, and as I have said before, it was a great change of pace. I got so many good laughs out of "Doomsday defense" that I would rank it up there as one of the funniest episodes I have seen of anything this year, and that includes shows that are supposed to be funny. I think the vast majority of the episodes were classic Millennium, so sneaking a few of these clever spoofs in there just added some nice variety. As i mentioned earlier in this string, I think they took it one episode too far with 13 years later. Not that another "funny" episode would have been out of place, but that one simply was not very good. Omerta was another departure from classic Millennium, but worked for me. That is another one that has gotten mixed reviews, and as was the case with 13 years, i would guess that the majority of Millennium hardcore fans probably did NOT like the episodes.

Guest ModernDayMoriarty Posted April 20, 2005 Share Posted April 20, 2005 It's difficult to say what I think is the worst episode overall. I think I can narrow it down to 'The Well Worn Lock', 'Monster' and 'Anamesis'. I find these three to be numbingly tedious to watch and never watch them unless I am watching all the episodes in sequence (even then they really test my willpower). Other notably poor episodes include 'Loin Like a Hunting Flame', 'A Single Blade of Grass', 'Siren' and 'Somehow, Satan Got Behind Me'. Overall though?... ... ... 'Anamesis' (just).

Guest lonegungrrly1121 Posted April 20, 2005 Share Posted April 20, 2005 having just watched it, I would say that 'maranatha' is deffinately one of my worst episodes! sooo boring Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ModernDayMoriarty Posted April 20, 2005 Share Posted April 20, 2005 What?! Maranatha is one of the best episodes by some way! Could I suggest you watch it again as I didn't realise how much I was enjoying it until it was nearly over. I really consider this one of the truly great episodes.

'Anamesis' (just). <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Those are some good picks for the worst. It's almost like you were reading my mind. I do, however, think that "Monster" was pretty good, and even those who didn't care for it would probably agree that the introduction of Lara and Frank's discussion with Danielle's parents after he is arrested are redeeming qualities. I also liked 'Somehow, Satan Got Behind Me', but agree 100% on the rest. Incidentally, I remember that it took me until my second viewing of "Somehow Satan.." to get to like it. I did have a difficult time with accepting it at first, because I was all gloomed out for a classic, dark, realistic Millennium episode that i was kind of like "Hey, what is this doo doo". After I watched it again with more of an open mind, and knowing what to expect, it grew to be a favorite. It helps to have the DVDs and be able to watch those type episodes when I am in the right mood for them though. I'm not saying that these factors would influence the opinions of those who don't like the episode. I'm sure there are some who just think it stinks regardless of how you look at it, and I respect that opinion. The episode just isn't for everyone. By the same token, there are probably those who think Anamnesis was one of the all time greats. That's what I like about this show, it took some chances and had a lot of range and variety. Taking away one persons stinkers would be taking away someone else's treasures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
