On October 25, 1996 Chris Carter introduced the world to a new hero. A hero we did not deserve and would not have for very long. That hero was Frank Black. For three seasons Frank lead us through the darkest recesses of man's wants and desires and showed us that evil does not triumph in the end. This episode we are looking back 25 years to the mostly forgotten and ahead of its time television series Millennium.

Sometimes an artist comes along and remakes a song you really love and they butcher it (we're looking at you Miley Cyrus). And then sometimes (very rarely but sometimes) they take that song to a whole new level. The same can also be said for sequels to our favorite movies.

And of course we get sidetracked along the way and wind up detouring through all kinds of nonsense.
