WOMEN WHO FIND FRANK BLACK IRRESISTABLE!

[Raven Wolf]

It has been brought to my attention, in reading all the posts on "Women and MillenniuM", & from my chat with another female member, that there seems to be an epodemic of silence when it comes to women and MM.  It seems that this has become labled a "guy show", and too many women are buying into that!  We are just as capable of getting involved in the dark subject matter as men are.

Here's the other silly thing I discovered, we are AFRAID TO ADMIT THAT WE THINK FRANK IS HOT!!! I find this appaling!!! (So much so, that I can't even spell that word! )  C'mon, girls!!  I've only known one other female fan of MM & she thought he was sexy, too!!!  So, let's all declair it for all the world to hear!!!

This may not be the most serious topic on this site, but, if we let our hair down, it's bound to be a lot of fun! So.. What's your Frank Black fantasy??  Had any interesting dreams??  I've had a few X rated ones myself!  

I look forward to hearing from all of you!

Excellent point.  I have said this before, but it seems important to say here in this context again:  MLM would not be MLM without the "feminine energy" (as Eddie put it) of the show.  The roles and presense of Catherine, Jordan, Laura, Emma, Lucy, Cheryl, Frank's 2 one-time/one-episode female partners from the Group, all the girls and subject matter of  "Anamnesis", the Cassie in "Darwin's Eye", and I could increase the list ad infinitum.  These characters and the actresses that portrayed them, for me, were a powerful presense of everything from tension, to light, to darkness, to obsession, to fragile, to powerful, to insight, to etc.  MLM would just not even be the same show were it not for these women and the conflicts, harmonies, and sub-plots they created.  It still baffles me that this could be catagorized as a "guys" show.  If anything, to me it is a show the portrays quite powerfully that men and women can be equally powerful, evil, good, violent, insightful, arrogant, vengeful, reckless, principled, courageous, etc.

Just my quick note on the subject.  For me, the whole "feminine energy" aspect of the show is one of the things that is a major and endearing part of MLM.  So, I have to say, along with Raven Wolf... Ladies! Speak up!

THANK YOU!!!  I feel so validated!!!  Through so many episondes, I saw the recurring "feminine" theme.  Even in the very first episode, "Calamity" (I think I may have misspelled that... )... was not portrayed as a typical "stripper", the way most other shows would have portrayed her.  Instead of the "disposable female" of the show, we got to see her purity, her love for her child, everything, even though she was dead before the first commercial break!  

I know about this problem accepting myself as a MM fan, too. I didn't even see much of it when it first was on, though I was a die-hard X Files fan!  I was in a relationship with a very controling...abusive man, & I was not strong enough within myself to acknowledge the side of me that was drawn to the show.  However, as I said in the MM living memorial, all that has changed now, and I am still trying to let MM teach me how to accept WHO I AM.  I felt so drawn to it, when I finaly let myself get into it, back in 2000, and I realized that something finaly spoke to me.  I have felt like an outsider for most of my life, & have no real passion, short for caring for my animals.  I have no voice of my own.  But I felt that MM was calling me to be something I never thought I was capable of.  I know this will sound crazy, but I have had my own version of Frank's "gift" for most of my life, but I would never accpet it.  I thought I was making it up, & that I wasn't "Important Enough" to have such a gift.  But Frank opened my eyes.  He made me see my full potential, though I am still afraid to accept it.  This may be another reson why women have a hard time owning up to their passion for this so-called "guy show".  We fell that it's not our place.  That it's like women fire-fighters or something.  It's seen as a guy thing, & women may be afraid to break into a predominantly male thing, or we'll be seen as "less femine".

Selfosophy Psycho made an excellent point.  (several actualy)

MM would be nothing without the "feminine energy".  And feminne energy is not tainted by embracing our power...whatever power that may be!

(And we can also admit that we think he's hot, too! )

Okay, so I'm sure that Lance Henriksen is old enough to be my grandfather.  But I totally agree with you!  For me, it's mostly the voice.  I adore a good voice; one of the reasons I'm totally in love with James Morrison -- he's dead sexy too.  And from what I've seen from his earlier work, he only improved as he got older (he used to be a toothpick of a man; I saw him on a Cagney and Lacey rerun once and my word!  Not a bit of meat on that man).  But I adore Frank.  Until she up and died, I wanted to be Catherine so bad.  I even coordinated a couple of outfits that I thought of as Catherine clothes... of course, I also had Scully clothes, as well as other characters, but the Catherines were my earthy, mature, intelligent, don't-you-want-to-boink-me-Frank clothes.  Sigh, those were the days...

BEER---> Just watched 'Sasquatch' last night. Lance had the young blonde drooling in it. But alas, he didn't bite. Guess he couldn't be succummed like Lucy did.

Laura,

 Thank-you for responding...so ...ahh...honestly!

 I never knew he was in Cagney, but I did tape "Damian, Omen 2", and he was a bit of a scare crow there, too.  He's one of those guys who gets better with age...Kinda like a fine wine!

 I know what you mean about wanting to be Catherine for a while.  I've got long blonde hair, and for a while, considered dying it dark brown!  And, I even considered going back to college and finishing school, since I was a psychology magor before my car accident!  

 Yes, he's old enough to be my grandfather too, but OH MY GOD! Yes, it's the voice, but also the eyes that get me!  One hour of watching MM with Frank was more exciting than my last 3 relationships combined!

 Ladies, keep 'em coming! (Metaphoricly speaking, of corse! )

 *SIGH*  I'm gonna have some sweet dreams tonight!

Thanks for responding!

Yes, I've seen both the movies you mentioned.  I have "Powder" on tape. *Sigh* I've also seen both of the Aliens movies he was in, and a couple of movies on the Sci-Fi channel that I was lucky enough to catch on tape.

Thanks for "comming out"!!

Ladies...Keep-'em coming!

Hi Guys,

I've seen him in so many things. Of course LOVED him in Aliens. In any event, Millennium brought him home for me. Never seen such a compelling character as Frank Black.

Like I told Brian I don't have cable and only have the first season transcripts to bring back the memories. (Please hurry Libby?  :) ) I remember in the second season when He started working with Lara. That episode where the xmas tree fell over and Lara said, 'Dam! another Angel got his wings!' the tension building between those two before that happened. Man! when that tree fell I almost went through the roof!
