Ouch.
 Millenium was a downer, albeit a tasty one.

Is it me, but do Chris Carter's heavy lit emphases tend to sound preachy,
esp. Yeats' poetry, etc? Or the cheesy family-centered Protagonist (who seems
to be more or less family-centered only because some creep is taking pictures
of his wife and kid)? Or the sidekick cop who says "Hey, Frank!" a couple
hundred times?  Kind of grating. The buried alive scene was gnarly but
riveting, however.

It kinda seemed like Seven, Twin Peaks and Silence of the Lambs mixed up in a
ghoulash. 

But it was creepy enough to keep my attention.
