Later on, in the epilogue, they found him

This is another one of those placeholder posts. It's been that sort of day.

Last night [livejournal.com profile] lesser_celery showed me the first three episodes of Millennium (1996–99). I have been warned that we haven't even gotten to the really spectacular strangeness, but at this point I love it near unconditionally—the first episode is a beautiful little film that just happens to fit inside fifty minutes and if neither of the next two have been nearly as tight or as deeply reaching, they still remain some of the soundest hit-the-ground-running I've seen from a television show. I told [livejournal.com profile] strange_selkie, when she asked what I thought of the show so far: "It's like fiction by [livejournal.com profile] greygirlbeast or [livejournal.com profile] handful_ofdust, only filmed and starring Lance Henriksen. Prrrrrt." I stand by that statement.

And now I have to catch a bus, to meet [livejournal.com profile] rushthatspeaks at South Station. There may be a more thoughtful post on this subject later. I may also be distracted.

Always glad to see more people getting into that show!

*not using Millennium icon b/c spoilery*

Oh, all right: here it is. It's not *too* spoilery.

I rewatched the first four eps a couple of weeks ago (having rewatched the entire series but not in the strictest order whem I bought the DVDs a while back) and just keep finding new things I love about it. (Like John Hawkes's guest role! Made much cooler by what he's gone on to do.) Should continue with a complete rewatch in episode order (no skipping ahead to my favourites)...
