The top 10 episodes of ‘Millennium’ Season 1 (1996-97)

July 9, 2011April 1, 2023 John Hansen Horror TV

January 2, 2011April 17, 2021 John Hansen Movies

I enjoyed watching “The X-Files: Fight the Future” (1998) more on this viewing than on previous viewings. I think my method of watching the episodes in order, at a fairly brisk clip, and not dwelling too much […]
