IHaveGoodInstincts Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 My first reaction to this episode was that the New York setting seemed awkward. After a few more viewings, it made more sense in the urban setting. The ending with the buffalo served its purpose. As with other episodes, certain plot threads are left open to show that the antagonists pushing the apocalypse issues aren't 100% wrong, kind of like the Matthew Prine in 19:19. It wasn't the end of the world as they saw it, but the writers made it look like some type of prelude event to make the viewer worry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alkmaion Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 Something that I pondered here....the prayer stick. Hadn´t such a wooden prayer stick turned up before in an earlier episode? And I liked the chemistry between Frank Black and archaeologist. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earthnut Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 In season 1, my first thought about the prayer stick is "Powers, Principalities, Thrones & Dominions" because of the episode being based around Satanic murders and getting caught between good and evil. Otherwise, I can't think of another one. Maybe in season 2, in "Beware of the Dog," the guy had a prayer stick in his home that...spoiler alert...ended up burning down. Yes, the chemistry between Frank and the archaeologist was good. It's like they understood each other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alkmaion Posted June 15, 2014 Share Posted June 15, 2014 Thank you, I will look into these two episodes. I´m kind of curious if you could connect Frank to some old mythology besides the christian background of the Millennium group. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earthnut Posted June 15, 2014 Share Posted June 15, 2014 The one thing about Frank is that he was always open to, and accepted, other beliefs, whether he agreed with them or not. Once I finish watching the most recent TV shows that ended, I am going to start MLM again. Guess I need a MLM fix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alkmaion Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 Come to think about it, I think there was the coyote mentioned somewhere, the trickster... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earthnut Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 Here's the link to our sister site page with a list of characters. It appears "coyote" or "trickster" didn't make the list. https://millennium-thisiswhoweare.net/guide/millennium_character_profiles.php Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alkmaion Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 it was just mentioned, not a character itself appearing. I remembered an episode of 'Gargoyles' were the coyote appears Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earthnut Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 Wondering if the Old Man in "Beware of the Dog" mentioned it to Frank when he was visiting. Just a thought... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alkmaion Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 Yes, that was my second thought, after 'Blade of Grass'. Though Frank doesn´t actually fit 'The Trickster', doesn´t he? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
