Never saw ANGEL, so it wasn't me. Saw MILLENNIUM, but gave up
on it after a while, because I lost track of where it was
going (as did the writers). Certainly it was very noirish,
especially in mood and tone in its first season, but they
X-File'd it up too much, and I'm not sure if it ever really
had an end. And as everyone seems to know now, I think noir
has to have some sort of real end to be truly
effective.
If I know the character's coming back next week, it's hard to
believe he's damned to eternity.
