Seven and One: Andrew M

I wasn't sure whether I should divulge the last name of this "candidate", so I figured best to keep his identity ambiguous, in part from courtesy, in part because it's just so 'conspiracy' - I love it! So enjoy another snippet from the Millennium fan repository. Seven and One!

1. My name is Andrew and I am 40 years old. I have been a sci-fi fan for 35+ years. I am proud to say that it was watching Millennium that eventually got me into the X-Files, not the other way around! I think it is the aspect of good and evil that keeps this show as one of my all-time favorites. "Somehow Satan..." is a mirror image of C.S Lewis' "The Screwtape letters!" I think it was Kingdom Come that was the first episode I saw that drew me into watching the show. I actually got into Millennium by seeing it on the FX channel when I got home from work after midnight. MIllennium in the dark...yeah!

2. Most horrifying moment, hmmm... I would have to say a toss up between the end of Lamentation in the yellow house, and the end of (the world!) The Time Is Now.

3. Favorite quote. Having watched Paper Dove recently , "It's not the beef," jokingly comes to mind! I like Frank's lines in the end of Exogesis where he talks about the world being covered in a robe of white churches and someone seeing a different future.

4. I find myself singing along with "As Long As I'm Singing." The theme song so serious! Good-Bye Charlie is kind of catchy as well. Favorite episodes: Fouce Majeure, Maranatha, Beware of the Dog, Luminary, TEOTWAWKI, Seven and One. I can't pick just one! I also find that I like certain episodes more now than I did 10 years ago, and vice-versa.

5. I guess one's spiritual stance would make one choose between psychic or prophetic, at least in the second and third seasons. "Gift" was a great was to describe it.

6. The end of Luminary has a nice richness to it. I also like Frank saying "He is coming soon" in Russian in Maranatha and then having a white fade-out instead of the usual black.

7. As far as a movie goes, I would like to see something that points towards an apocalyptic event, where Frank is able to thwart off part of something evil, but that there is still some greater evil to come, so that it instills in the viewer that people must be prepared and be strong for what is to come, not sit back like mindless sheep. There are some neat ideas that could be expanded on from the virtual fourth season.....good reading!

Seven and One: Peter McKiernan

And welcome to another blog by you, the ever faithful harbinger of the apocalypse and/or Millennium fan! Seven and One time, and this week, we have another fan answering the "advanced set".

Peter from Belfast in Northern Ireland answers our questionnaire this time, prepare yourselves for some in-depth answers to our pretty thorough questions. Enjoy.

HARD SET:

1. About You.

WHite male, aged 30, live in Belfast Northern Ireland, cult/sci-fi/fantasy TV geek since childhood  :) 

2. What was the most horrifying moment in the show?

Its gotta be Lamentation, and the whole sequence with Catherine wandering around in the dark, with the lightning flashing, the kidney in the fridge and the devil-like figure on the stairs.  I loved this episode, for me it was a perfect fusion of the detective/cop procedural, and out-and-out supernatural horror.  And it scared me.  A lot. I was just turning 18 when it aired in Ireland.


3. What's your favourite quote from the show?

Jose:  "I humbly add my own prophecy of what the dawn of the new millennium shall bring forth: one thousand years of the same old crap."


4. What's your favourite piece of music in Millennium (incidental or song)?

So hard to choose.  Apart from the theme tune, I'd have to say its the score to The Wild and the Innocent." Beautiful music. But there are so many other good examples too.

5. What is your opinion as to the nature of Frank's Gift?

Its definitely something more than just intuition.  In later season one episodes there were hints at Jordan inheriting his gift.  Season 2 then gave numerous examples of something more, with it changing and broadening, and it being compared with Lara's angels visions.  I think its Anemesis where Lara says clearly that Frank sees evil, whereas she can only know it is in her vicinity by seeing angels.  Late in season 3, in Seven and One, Frank says something to his therapist, I cant remember exactly, but it was something that combined the pilot description of him seeing what the killer sees, and evil as a real presence. I loved that.

6. What's your favourite episode ending?

Can I give a few answers to this one?  :) 

1. Season 2 finale - I had never seen anything like that on TV, it was so final, and dark.  No happy ending there! (I'm including Lara's insanity Act with the final scene here, it blew me away and introduced me to Patti SMith, along with Dancing Barefoot from Anemesis).  I was so excited by this series at this stage, and no one I knew was watching it, as it was on very late on Irish terrestrial TV, and not prime time, like X-Files.

2. End of Seven and One - I actually thought this was a perfect series finale, if they'd changed the episode order around a little.  Frank cradling a traumatised Emma, reciting some quotes and talking about the end of civilisation, with glimpses into his psyche, references to Catherine, his childhood losses etc.  I loved it. Always found it a little odd that it was followed by a serial killer type episode, as if nothing had happened, although that was a good episode also.

1. If you were given the chance to make a Millennium movie, what would you focus on and why?

I would focus on Frank, obviously, maybe continuing the idea of pure evil in the context of possible apocalypse, either secular or religious, as in Owls and Roosters, with references to terrorism, suicide bombings etc, what's happening in our world now. Maybe the idea of a higher power, both good and evil, overseeing events, but most people are oblivious to it and are still victims of their own nature, freewill, greed, instincts etc etc (I'm thinking of another recently ended critically acclaimed genre show that I loved and had a few Millennium faces in it)

Seven and One: Sean Stubblefield!

This is fun - our first Seven and One "advanced" questionnaire return! As you may recall, we added a new set of questions for those more adventurous in their answers, and the first one back has come from Millennium/BacktoFrankBlack diligent follower, Sean Stubblefield! For an interesting comparison, Sean has already had his Seven and One [Basic] published, so for those feeling studious, why not cross compare what he says! Anyway, without further ado, the stages is yours Sean!

1. About You.

White male, 37, single, residing in Houston TX.

Relatively unknown “starving artist” writer of sci-fi short stories, philosophy and media commentary, with Bachelor’s degree in TV/Film production and media studies. An advocate for media literacy & liberty.

Stories and storytelling are important to me. I take their power and creation seriously… respectfully.

I have a deep fascination with the unknown and the unusual, as well as the paranormal.

I feel most alive when I’m traveling/ exploring… wandering & wondering. Discovering.

Other interests include story consulting, photography, rock climbing, mountain biking and beaches.

I collect books and gargoyles. Proud and happy to be geek.

2. What was the most horrifying moment in the show?

The most disturbing moment for me was in the pilot, when Frank & Bletch opened that box to reveal a guy with eyes and mouth sewn shut. That really creeped me out, and definitely stuck with me. I was impressed that a TV show would be so bold in mainstream prime time—back in the ‘90s. to me, no other scene in the show lived up to the graphic horrificness of that.

But, of course, there are different kinds and degress of horrific. such as when Frank dipped Jordan in the ice water, or when Lara went insane. perhaps Bletcher hanging gutted in Frank's basement, or Frank killing Polaroid Man there while Catherine watched. Frank in shock to realize Catherine is dead. maybe some of the questionable things The Group did under Mabius' influence.

3. What's your favourite quote from the show?

FRANK: “They believe we can’t just sit back and hope for a happy ending.”

and

PETER: “The future. Of the future.”

In response to MR. OTTO: ”It's clear Johnston has been murdered. If any evidence should indicate responsibility of either Owls or Roosters, I'm sure you know what's in danger.”

4. What's your favourite piece of music in Millennium (incidental or song)?

Mark Snow’s opening theme music has always struck me as the best intro music of any TV show I’ve ever seen. I love the whole style of his approach, and can’t narrow my fave to a single song.

5. What is your opinion as to the nature of Frank's Gift?

Despite Frank’s (and Carter’s) denial/preference otherwise, the gift is clearly psychic in nature. As Peter says, “We both know your daughter doesn’t just dream, Frank.”

If Jordan’s gift is “supernatural”, then so is Frank’s. If Frank’s gift isn’t supernatural, then why the bonding over the issue between Frank and Lara? Or the relating of Frank to his mother? Simply being very “insightful” doesn’t account for all the things he could “see”.

6. What's your favourite episode ending?

The first one that comes to mind is when Frank carried Jordan up the snowy mountain to share with her the view that he and Bletch had shared.

1. If you were given the chance to make a Millennium movie, what would you focus on and why?

The reconstitution of The Millennium Group to fulfill their objective.

Well, an obvious reference would be the approaching 2012 serving as another millennial event. However, the millennium isn’t an event… it’s a process.

Also, I would comment on how our culture—our governments—our media failed to properly use the millennial anxiety to propel us into creating a better future for ourselves. We are still in the millennial age, still racing. The end hasn’t been averted, as most apparently assume; indeed we are fully immersed in it.

But the principal message would be that “we can’t just sit back and hope for a happy ending.” We are all shepherds.

We must live as if pulled by the future, not pushed by the past.

Seven and One: Kevin!

It's time to roll out another Seven and One! This week's Millennium fan is Kevin (Icubud)! Thank you Kevin for standing up and explaining your Millennium love to one and all. If you wish to complete a Seven and One yourselves and follow Kevin's wonderful example, simply email us on the address at the end of the blog entry. Remember, we have a basic and advanced Seven and One - take your pick which you would prefer to answer. Both are listed at the bottom of this post!

So without further ado! Shout out your Millennium wuv Kevin!

1. About You.

My name is Kevin, a.k.a. icubud, I work as an analyst at consumer goods corporation. In my spare time I am either reading [currently Stoker’s “Dracula”), creative writing, completing assignments as I am pursuing an MBA, or hanging out with my wife catching up on all the DVR shows of the week over the weekend.

2. Why are you a fan?

Millennium was the pick for me from the very beginning. The character, career, and life’s baggage of Frank appealed to me. The concept of the family, new starts, and the yellow house spoke volumes visually that many people wish they had the opportunity to actually do. As the show developed and we learned more about the millennium group, good vs. evil, conspiracy theories, and the Old Man – Frank’s journeys were my journeys too – and what a ride.

3. How long have you been a fan?

Since première of the pilot episode and now own the series in DVD format as they were released.

4. What's your favorite episode?

Unfair question but expected. Mikado, Roosters & Owls, Hand of St. Sebastian - and pretty much all the others.

5. What's your favorite scene or moment?

• The tender scenes with Jordan – it was so easy to see they enjoyed working together.
• Frank kicking in Watts patio door
• Scenes when the devil is watching him on Halloween.

6. If a movie was made which characters would you like to see in it?

Everyone back as themselves. Story line would need to be good vs. evil and "take it on" without holding back. Frank, Scholars, anthropologists, criminalists, etc. vs. the evil.

7. Why do you think Millennium should come back?

The story was not allowed to play out and Chris Carter and team rarely gave it the full focus of their attention and creativity. Just think how MORE awesome the show would have been!

8. What are you watching right now?

Fringe, Criminal Minds, NCIS, Chuck, UK’s “Demons”, Numbers, 24, and Bones

Seven and One: Luke Sims!

Well it's Seven and One time. In our last episode, we spoke to a fan from down under, in Australia. Well this time, we've hoped on a train, taken a plane, travelled the rugged rocky road and then done the crawl across the Atlantic and doggy paddled across the Pacific to arrive at... Australia! Yes, we have Luke Sims read to answer some disturbingly probing questions! Luke is a new fan of the show which makes this an extra special Seven and One - that and because he forgot to answer question seven! Love it! Take it away Luke!

1. About You.

I'm Luke Sims 27 and living in Melbourne Australia. I work in a call centre doing surveys for stare and federal governments and universities. I'm an avid comic book reader and spend my time getting pissed with mates and getting up to good clean mischief.

2. Why are you a fan?

I got into it when my Dad bought me the complete series for Christmas. I was on holidays from work and spent the time devouring the DVD's

3. How long have you been a fan?

Nearly a month!!!!!

4. What's your favorite episode?

The Time is Now, its ambitious, apocalyptic, scary and heartbreaking. TV at it's best

5. What's your favorite scene or moment?

The scene where Lara Means is driven insane, you can really feel the madness when you watch it.

Followed by the end of The Time is Now with Frank so shocked his hair goes white, we get hints that an outbreak is happening and it ends with In the Year 2525.

6. If a movie was made which characters would you like to see in it?

Frank and Jordan are a must after that I'd like Emma Hollis, Peter Watts, Lara Means, Detective Giebelhouse and if its possible to squeeze her in some Sarah Jane Redmond would be amazing.

1. What are you watching right now?

The Fifth series of Hustle, a British show about grifters and the odd episode of Millennium. Last watched A Room With No View

Please keep these coming and do not hesitate to send us all your thoughts and queries on anything Millennium and Frank Black related and you do not have to use your real name to qualify.

Seven and One: Stephen Lord

What-ho! Millennium chums! Time for fan to fan to mesh once again in an beautiful display of cult communique. Yes it's Seven and One time; the fan interview on our favourite subject - say it like you mean it: Millennium.

This week Stephen Lord is our guest Millennium fan. A gent from Australia with a commendable choice of top Millennium episodes. A commendable example of taste marred only by his dubious love of The Bill.. :)

So without further ado..!

1. About You.

My name is Stephen Lord. I live in Adelaide, Australia and write moderately supernatural crime fiction (as yet unpublished). I also work in community radio and spent far too many years hanging around university English departments before realising I wasn't a good enough bullshit artist to make it as an academic :) .

2. Why are you a fan?

1997 was what our American friends call my senior year of university. It was also, as Dickens put it, "the worst of times." Millennium was one of my only respites from a very trying period. My fondness for the show has endured over the years and it continues to inspire my writing to this day.

3. How long have you been a fan?

Since Channel 7 showed the pilot in Australia thirteen years ago. After a promising start, they treated the show very poorly and there were quite a few episode I never saw until I bought the DVDs.

4. What's your favorite episode?

SEASON 1: Pilot

SEASON 2: Jose Chung's Doomsday Defence

SEASON 3: Antipas

5. What's your favorite scene or moment?

So many to choose from, but top of my current list is this exchange from Goodbye Charlie.

LARA: You should have no trouble acting depressed

FRANK: I'm not depressed, I'm just quiet.

6. If a movie was made which characters would you like to see in it?

Frank, Catherine (in flashback obviously) Jordan (all grown up), Peter Watts, Lara Means, Emma Hollis and of course Lucy Butler.

7. Why do you think Millennium should come back?

Because it deserves a proper resolution, and the idea of one man doing all he can to protect his family against violent crime as our world hurtles towards its own demise is more resonant today than it's ever been. We're ten years into a century that some thought humanity would never see, and instead of laying the foundations for a golden age of technology, achievement and understanding, we keep making the same old mistakes and hiding from each other and ourselves because we're afraid of what we might find if we look too closely. As the Megadeth song goes, "the world needs a hero" and that hero's name is Frank Black.

1. What are you watching right now?

Doctor Who (old and new)

Sherlock Holmes (the 80s and 90s TV adaptations with Jeremy Brett)

Midsummer Murders

The Bill (more out of habit than genuine enjoyment I'm afraid)

Ezekiel Editorial: News Round-up

First off, we (myself, Troy and Lance) are very encouraged by the interest in our teaser we set at the beginning of the week. From the stats as well as the emails and comments, we think we're onto a good thing. Again, we're still working out the details, but we're hoping good things will come out of this, worthy of the interest we're getting. So thank you for your patience. This is Lance's brainchild we're juggling and its great having the man himself playing such a powerfully proactive force on behalf of BacktoFrankBlack and the fans of Millennium. More when it comes.

Second, a letter to Big Light made a request for Millennium this week to the usual tune of "Has there been any indication that Fox, may decide to approve a Millennium movie?" (it's a tune I like. :)) X-Files 3 was also mentioned. Frank's blog reply was "I’m afraid I have no news about a potential Millennium feature. No news yet on X-Files 3, either, but I’m taking notes!" Always nice to know people are continuing to directly ask that question, and Frank is - as he has said categorically to BacktoFrankBlack, he is very open to doing Millennium once more.



- Morgan and Wong next week, as you could tell from our wondrous little trailer provided by our video editor Josef. We have the Glen Morgan interview lined up, along with a great competition, exclusive guest articles, a DiRT special, M&W video avatar and a look at Morgan & Wong's work across the board.

Special thanks to XFN for keenly supporting their humble sibling with news of this event. It is of course of interest to X-Files fans being Morgan & Wong being such an incredibly relevant part of their mythos. Please show the same courtesy if you have a moment to support their community ventures. They have a lot of great things going on there.

Special thanks got to Big Light again for doing the same and throwing our promo up on their blog. Support from both giants never goes unappreciated.

FINALLY

Seven and One, our regular Fan Interview questionnaire is now archived on the website at the bottom of the interviews page. Seems only fair that the fans get the same page as the cast and crew being as relevant to any revival. Enjoy a trip down memory lane with those. I'll post another up tomorrow perhaps.

Look out for our new video archive. That should be on the site by the end of the month - all things permitting.

Seven and One: Steven Trotter!

Wotcha Millennium fans! Time for fan to fan to mesh once again in an beautiful display of cult communique. Yes its Seven and One, the fan interview on our favourite subject! Millennium.

This week Steven Trotter is our guest Millennium fan. If you want to be heard, then email us responses to the following questions to the address found at the bottom of the post. And don't forget to show Steven some love and add a comment!

1. About You.
Millennium Fan, Cinema Aficionado, Radio Presenter and General Entertainment geek. I am currently in charge of the Millennium Face Book fan page and have been an “on again off again” webmaster and on-line Millennium community supporter over the years. Currently in an ON period ;)

2. Why are you a fan?
This question is a bit like asking someone why they like chocolate….although aside from the taste, I guess chocolate has little more to offer. I have a morbid fascination with serial killers, forensics and criminal pathology. I used to enjoy the X-Files, but it lost me when the whole alien conspiracy took over around Season 4, so I watched the Pilot of Millennium and was immediately hooked! The writing, direction and design of the series was incredible and like nothing I had ever seen on TV before.

3. How long have you been a fan?
Since the pilot episode aired here in Australia back in the late 90’s. The third season never aired on commercial television in Australia, so it wasn’t until around 2002 that I stayed up until 2:30am every Sunday to watch it on FOX 8 (a satellite pay TV channel) and then of course re-watched it in a more coherent state on DVD a few years after that.

4. What's your favorite episode.
My favorite episode is weirdly the only one not to feature Frank Black….Anamnesis. I just love the interaction between Catherine & Lara.

5. What's your favorite scene or moment?
Only one moment….hmmm tough one....“Say, would you like to come back to my

apartment and take my portrait? Bring a wide-angle lens.” That or the entire Patti Smith track montage from The Time Is Now

6. If a movie was made which characters would you like to see in it?
Frank, Jordan, Lara Means, Detective Giebelhouse, Brian Roedecker & Lucy Butler. (Would have been nice to see a return of Avatar too, but I guess with a number of films now based on the zodiac killer this plot point would seem a little stale)

7. Why do you think Millennium should come back?
For a number of reasons. Firstly, I think the show was very much ahead of its time and now more than ever would suit a return. Secondly, I think fans would like the opportunity to find out what happened….whilst we did get The X-Files cross-over, it did not really go into any details about what happened after the series ended and whilst I wouldn’t expect a film or series to address this, it would be nice to just see that the characters lived on.

1. What are you watching right now?
Currently I am keeping up with Castle, Dexter, Dollhouse and The Mentalist.

Seven and One: Robert A Knopick!

Time for our weekly rendition of our fan questionnaire "Seven and One" (yes this is weekly for the time being, thanks to the large amount of replies we've had on this front!) This week we have Robert A Knopick, who by all accounts seems to be in love with season 2 - take a look for yourselves! Thank you for your input Robert!

(1). About you.
Robert A. Knopick. 53 Y.O. (how did that happen?). I do independent work for nearby Yale University. I am a big music fan (all kinds), and can be very opinionated about this (black and white, w/ little gray), and most everything else, from books, to movies, to politics or who makes the best pizza. I try to make sense of the world as a scientist first, and only later as a person of faith. I love my 3 dogs, and I'm a huge beer snob.

(2).Why are you a fan?
I'm a fan because I really enjoy the show, Lance and the supporting cast especially. It asks questions and starts conversations. I like to introduce "Millennium" to folks who are unaware of it.

(3). How long have you been a fan?
Day one. I was not especially an "X-Files" fan, but I liked Lance's work, and was hooked from the beginning. This is a happy accident not of my prescience, but that I am old enough to have been there at the beginning, and that because I identify as a person of Scandinavian descent, I was paying attention to Lance's work.

(4). What's your favorite episode?
In keeping w/ Dirt's rule-bending precedents, I'll combine a 2-parter, and name my top five, starting w/ the best:
(A). "Owls / Roosters"
(B). "Luminary"
(C). "Beware of the Dog"
(D). "The Mikado"
(E). "Omerta". If asked next week, I might put in "Bardo Thodol".

(5). Favorite scene?
In "Omerta", Where Frank tells Eddie all he wants for Christmas is to put things back the way they were, having Jordan and Catherine.

(6). Characters in the movie?
Certainly Watts and Lucy Butler.

(7). Why should Millennium come back?
It deserves a better conclusion, though I would selfishly like to see it go on forever. It's return may also introduce it to a new (younger) audience.

(1). Watching now?
Right now I'm watching whatever episode Chiller has in the queue, and waiting for "Breaking Bad" to return.

Please keep these coming and do not hesitate to send us all your thoughts and queries on anything Millennium and Frank Black related and you do not have to use your real name to qualify.

Seven and One: Richard Ovenall

Another Seven and One for the blog, gifted to us by you, the people who read us. Through your Seven and One fan interviews you help us provide evidence of the wide support the franchise continues to elicit.

To this end we asked you to consider taking a few
moments of your time to complete a simple questionnaire that we can
utilise.

So without further ado....!

SEVEN AND ONE!

1. About You.

My name is Richard, I work as an estimator in the building industry. In my spare time I do a spot of bellringing (aka 'campanology'), collect autographs and graphic novels, go to pub quizzes and am a retro TV fan. I like music from the 60's up to the 90's mainly.

2. Why are you a fan?

It was at the time The X Files was starting it's fourth season. I was reading in Dreeamwatch, TV Zone and other genre/sci-fi magazines about a new TV series from Chris Carter called Millennium. I was drawn to the fact it was something completely different from The X Files and would stand on it's own as a quality television series (I hadn't heard of Lance Henriksen much, and I hadn't seen many or any of his films up to that point). I was also drawn to the striking visual imagery in Millennium and the music. In hindsight it had iconic imagery from the off and this has carried on throughout the three year run and has continued in fans' work and appreciation for Millennium.

3. How long have you been a fan?

I've been a fan probably since I first saw it on ITV (and later on Sky One. Although the third and final season was shown here on Sci-Fi I didn't watch it then).

4. What's your favorite episode?

Jose Chung's Doomsday Defense, although Dead Letters is a close second.

5. What's your favorite scene or moment?

For an adorable scene, you can't beat Jordan licking her father's nose when the family arrive at their new home in Seattle, and later on when Frank surprises Jordan with a pet puppy dog.

For a funniest scene one that is hard to beat is in Jose Chung's Doomsday Defense, when Frank (wearing a blonde wig and light blue lab coat) grins/laughs and punches another male character in the groin. I laughed a lot when I first saw that scene (and the episode as a whole).

There are so many serious, thrilling and scary scenes that I genuinely can't pick one out of all of them.

6. If a movie was made which characters would you like to see in it?

Easy...Frank, Jordan (you've got to have those two in it), Peter Watts, Catherine (in a flashback or ghost role), Lara Means (there's plenty of story left to tell with this character), Emma Hollis, Bob Bletcher (same with Catherine, in a flashback or ghost role) and you've got to have Giebelhouse in it (loved his humour in the series).

7. Why do you think Millennium should come back?

Because I believe it still has a relevance in today's world, perhaps even more so than back in 1996-99 when the show was on the air in the US.

8. What are you watching right now?

The Law & Order shows (the 'mothership', as it is known in the US, Special Victims Unit and Criminal Intent), The Simpsons and Millennium.

Please keep these coming and do not hesitate to send us all your thoughts and queries on anything Millennium and Frank Black related and you do not have to use your real name to qualify. If you would like to complete the brief questionnaire I have listed the questions below for your perusal.
