Feeling a little nostalgic? Put down the latest Millennium comic (hopefully well digested) and click play below. This is a new series of videos to Back to Frank Black, lovingly crafted by Rogue Hollow productions that take a video-retrospective look at episodes of Millennium from season one onwards. This episode looks back at the rather explosive Weeds. We’ll be adding more of these excellent reviews in the future.
On Saturday, February 6th 2016, join us for our second tweet-a-thon. This is Millennium‘s 20th anniversary year, and with The X-Files appearing to indicate a successful revival of the 1013 stable, we’re looking to encourage FOX to turn its eye to Frank Black.
Followers of this campaign will know Chris has never shied away from acknowledging his interest and desire in a return to Millennium, nor has lead actor Lance Henriksen or producer/writer Frank Spotnitz. In fact we’ve yet to interview a member of cast/crew of the show who didn’t feel a return was not undue. Here’s an opportunity to support them by showing 20th Century Fox Television your interest in a return to Millennium with tweets!
We wish to keep this Tweet-A-Thon as simple and respectful as we possibly can. Simple to participate and respectful in execution!
If you are a Twitter user, and I’m sure most of you have access to a Twitter account even if you’re not a regular Twitter user, we would like you to tweet your wish to see Millennium on FOX with the hashtag #MillenniuM20th between 12-2pm Pacific time (3-5pm Eastern) Saturday, February 6th. We are aware Twitter is a global resource, but we’re keeping it simple. If you can’t make the allotted period, still tweet, but do your best to get a tweet in that window if you can!
Our Tweet-A-Thon target is 20th Century Fox Television and their official Twitter account @20centuryfoxTV.
Tweet-A-Thon Hashtag
We wanted to use a hashtag that was simple and could get our point across to FOX’s production company, 20th Century Fox Television who made Millennium. After much debate, we settled on the hashtag #MillenniuM20th. Make sure when you send your tweets to 20th Century Fox Television that you include the hashtag!
Tweets and Retweets
What is a Retweet you ask? A Retweet is a re-posting of someone else’s Tweet. Twitter’s Re-tweet feature helps you and others quickly share that Tweet with all of your followers. This is one of the easiest ways to get our Tweet-A-Thon hashtag to trend. All you need to do is do a search for the hashtag and click retweet. It’s that simple!
Scheduled Tweets
Are you unable to live tweet with the rest of the Millennium fans during the Tweet-A-Thon?? Well, you are in luck, there is still a way you can take part in the event. You can now schedule your Tweets in advance and still be part of the Tweet-A-Thon. We suggest you use the site FutureTweets. It’s free and all you have to do is sign up for an account. You can setup your account and find more information here.
A big thank you to Christopher Brielmaier for creating the video and promotional designs (and to Lance Henriksen for the exclusive voice over).
Here are some fairly obvious tips:
Make sure your Twitter account is public.
Ensure that @20centuryfoxTV is in your tweet and the hashtag #MillenniuM20th – rest is up to you!
Only use one # per tweet.
Do your best to get your friends and fellow fans to retweet your tweet!
Be respectful in your comments. Communications with 20th Century Fox Television, FOX, and TenThirteen have always been very friendly and amicable – don’t spoil that by presuming there is some “bad guy” here who needs outing. There isn’t. Respect is due!
Ever since I heard that a book would be published about Chris Carter’s Millennium, I was excited to get my hands on a copy and read it. Late last year I was able to interview editor Adam Chamberlain about Back to Frank Black and now I’ve finally had the opportunity to sit down and read it for myself.
My first impressions of the book were of how large it is. I have read a lot of TV and film companion books and have often been disappointed by them as they contain so little new information, especially to die-hard fans who read a lot on the internet; this is definitely not the case with Back to Frank Black. The book contains over 500 pages packed with more than twenty-five essays on every aspect of the show you can imagine. The writing style varies wildly with the authors, some essays are retrospectives from the cast and crew that discuss their time on the show, others are deep academic essays on diverse topics that include Millennium’s portrayal of family, the portrayal of evil on the show, and a look at Frank Black’s semi-supernatural profiling ability. The latter compares Frank to C. Auguste Dupin in Poe’s classic The Murders in The Rue Morgue, recognized as the first detective story which I now wish I’d paid more attention to when I studied it in English class.
The collected essay format means it is easy to drop in and out of the book, you don’t feel the need to read it cover to cover and instead you can go straight to the parts that particularly interest you. I was immediately drawn to the essay with Mark Snow about composing the music for the show and another regarding the choice of outside music used; a discussion about animal symbolism in the show also grabbed my initial interest as I browsed the content pages. I have so far avoided certain essays as it has been several years since I watched the show’s later seasons and these essays will almost certainly contain spoilers. As I intend to re-watch the show in its entirety soon (I’m currently halfway through season one). I would rather be reminded of the plots by re-watching than by reading spoilers. The book assumes an intimate knowledge of the show, characters, and important plot details so reading it after a long absence could easily be confusing, however a book such as this is unlikely to be read by many who are not hard core fans and so the point is likely to be largely moot.
Even avoiding these parts of the book for now there is still an enormous amount of information to get through thanks to the depth of material compiled here. This is a book I will be dipping into for many years to come as it joins my large collection of companion books and I look forward to continuing reading it as I work through the series again.
Back to Frank Black is available now priced at $28.99 for the paperback or $44.99 for the hardback. A copy of the book was provided free for this review.
