My favorite episode of Millenium was the one where it ended with Frank's buddy being strung up in his own basmenet by the demon-thing, "Lucy" I think it's name was? Cail do you recall that one?
edit: though the begining of the plague episode was the creepiest 5 minutes of TV since the death of Maddie on Twin Peaks! Creepy!

The episode was titled "Lamentation", and is widely regarded as one of the better episodes of the series. Bob Bletcher's (played by Bill Smitrovitch) death wasn't planned from the get-go. Bill was unhappy with the writers and was clashing with Lance because he thought his character should've been treated as Frank's equal (which also was never the plan).

so true.
one of my favourite Millenium episodes was the one where three demons are having coffee in a little cafe, comparing notes on how they are really messing people up. It starts to dawn on them as they are each telling theri stories that they all have something in common: the creepy, depressed-looking guy..
yah, Frank ... great episode.

That WAS a great one! They were all in agreement that he was sadder and more depressing than nay horror they could conjure. Great stuff.Usivius wrote:

I can't say enough good things about that show.

Journeyman was pretty good, but I wasn't surprised to see it canceled. Other than Dan and Hugh, the rest of the characters were kind of blah. And they didn't create enough of a sense of urgency or mystery.
"It is not the literal past that rules us, save, possibly, in a biological sense. It is images of the past. Each new historical era mirrors itself in the picture and active mythology of its past or of a past borrowed from other cultures. It tests its sense of identity, of regress or new achievement against that past.”

Too much like Quantum Leap, just didn't look like it had legs.

Except for Livia, who didn't know what was happening either, he didn't have a guide. Sure, it's time travel to fix lives, but there was less formula to the show than Quantum Leap. But then, the formula was part of QL's charm.
Journeyman's problem, IMO, was trying to keep his life normal. The last episode seemed to imply they were moving past that.
Cancelled?! Crap. There goes another show I liked.
Add to the shouldn't have been axed list, Strange Luck with DB Sweeney. Another quirky show that was paired with X-Files on Friday's.
