Guest Polaroid Stalker Posted April 7, 2003 Share Posted April 7, 2003 If I had to name my top 5 "MillenniuM" episodes, then "Owls" would round off at number 5. This was a beautifully written episode. I think Morgan and Wong really nailed what is probably the one of the most universally evil and frightening aspects of human nature--Adolf Hitler. But my attention was grabbed more by the Group's rifting factions, the Owls (secularists) and the Roosters (theologians). When the Cross of the Crucifixion is stolen from the Group, the two already divided factions war on each other. Meanwhile, Catherine gets a job at a suspicious-sounding company called "Aerotech." Ha-ha, real funny, M&W!! The best scene: the part where Mr. Johnston is murdered roadside by German hitman Helmut Gunsche while America's "Horse With No Name" plays over the scene. I always loved that song, and after seeing "Owls," it gave me a whole new fix on it. To Be Continued... My rating: Five creepy Aerotech employees out of five! Quote: "Easy, Mr. Berenson...

It was beautifully shot and the music was the icing on the cake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raven Wolf Posted April 19, 2003 Share Posted April 19, 2003 Yeah, I could never hear Horse with No Name the same way again, either! Raven Wolf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Polaroid Stalker Posted April 22, 2003 Share Posted April 22, 2003 Thanks for your agreements. Although, it's not quite my favorite musical sequence. No, that belongs to the final scene of "The Time is Now," when Frank and Jordan are in the cabin as "In the Year 2525" by Zager and Evans plays. My God, I felt like crying! But the "Owls" scene is second on the list! This is who we are, Stephen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
