Millennium (TV series)

Millennium was a grim, suspenseful television series, produced by the creators of The X-Files and set during the run-up to the new millennium (it premiered in 1996). It was cancelled in 1999, with a "final" episode wrapping up the storyline airing as The X-Files episode 7x05, "Millennium."

End of The Series

The final season showed Frank returning to Washington and to profiling work at the FBI. This season had more control by Chris Carter and as such downplayed the religious elements of season two in order to concentrate on spree-killers and other perpetrators. This season also displayed elements of 'The X-Files' success such as remote viewing and the interplay of psychic and demonic forces. Frank is joined by a young, black female partner, Emma Hollis. The Millennium Group is shown at a distance as Frank is alienated from Peter Watts. The episode 'Skull & Bones' depicted a mass grave in the path of a new freeway that contained the bodies of former members of the Group. Despite Frank's warnings and the evidence of her own eyes, Emma makes a commitment at a moment of personal weakness that sees her isolated from all non-Group assistance and Frank is last seen escaping from Washington having taken Jordan from school.

The series ended not with a bang but a whimper. Episode 7#05 of 'The X-Files', entitled 'Millennium', saw Lance Henriksen and Brittany Tiplady (in a cameo appearance) reprise their roles as Frank and Jordan alongside Mulder and Scully in a tale of necromancy and zombification of former Millennium Group members on the cusp of 1999/2000.
