if you haven't seen it, it's new to you.

So I'm watching Millennium Season 3, which -- remember how hard I pimped Season 2 to you? Season 3, not so much. Not as bad as the final years of X-Files, but not where you want to start, and you won't die if you don't watch it.

Anyway, I'm watching it, and...there's an episode I've never seen. The hell? Why didn't I see this? I was enjoying a slight nervous breakdown at the time, so maybe it was one of those Fridays where I came home and went to bed for 15 hours. Maybe Channel 7 bumped it for Christmas with Billy Graham or something. My point is...new episode!

And it's a Christmas episode. The BOMPBOMP! is replaced with a jolly little jingle bell chingching!, which is quite delightful. And it starts out well, ragging on Miller's Crossing and Beauty and the Beast (the TV show, which needed a lot more ragging than it ever got). Sadly, the whole thing falls to bits in about 20 minutes. They were trying for Darin Morgan and got Lee Goldberg on the brown acid instead.

Still and all, though, I'm saying, new! episode! of! Millennium!

ETA: Also, "...13 Years Later" is nowhere near as bad as I remembered.

Jon Polito from "Homicide". Kinda nifty having my two 'why is nobody watching?' shows converge, even though the writing in the episode did take a steep nosedive early on.
