Seven and One: Steven Trotter!


Wotcha Millennium fans! Time for fan to fan to mesh once again in an beautiful display of cult communique. Yes its Seven and One, the fan interview on our favourite subject! Millennium.

This week Steven Trotter is our guest Millennium fan. If you want to be heard, then email us responses to the following questions to the address found at the bottom of the post. And don't forget to show Steven some love and add a comment!

1. About You.
Millennium Fan, Cinema Aficionado, Radio Presenter and General Entertainment geek. I am currently in charge of the Millennium Face Book fan page and have been an “on again off again” webmaster and on-line Millennium community supporter over the years. Currently in an ON period ;)

2. Why are you a fan?
This question is a bit like asking someone why they like chocolate….although aside from the taste, I guess chocolate has little more to offer. I have a morbid fascination with serial killers, forensics and criminal pathology. I used to enjoy the X-Files, but it lost me when the whole alien conspiracy took over around Season 4, so I watched the Pilot of Millennium and was immediately hooked! The writing, direction and design of the series was incredible and like nothing I had ever seen on TV before.

3. How long have you been a fan?
Since the pilot episode aired here in Australia back in the late 90’s. The third season never aired on commercial television in Australia, so it wasn’t until around 2002 that I stayed up until 2:30am every Sunday to watch it on FOX 8 (a satellite pay TV channel) and then of course re-watched it in a more coherent state on DVD a few years after that.

4. What's your favorite episode.
My favorite episode is weirdly the only one not to feature Frank Black….Anamnesis. I just love the interaction between Catherine & Lara.

5. What's your favorite scene or moment?
Only one moment….hmmm tough one....“Say, would you like to come back to my

apartment and take my portrait? Bring a wide-angle lens.” That or the entire Patti Smith track montage from The Time Is Now

6. If a movie was made which characters would you like to see in it?
Frank, Jordan, Lara Means, Detective Giebelhouse, Brian Roedecker & Lucy Butler. (Would have been nice to see a return of Avatar too, but I guess with a number of films now based on the zodiac killer this plot point would seem a little stale)

7. Why do you think Millennium should come back?
For a number of reasons. Firstly, I think the show was very much ahead of its time and now more than ever would suit a return. Secondly, I think fans would like the opportunity to find out what happened….whilst we did get The X-Files cross-over, it did not really go into any details about what happened after the series ended and whilst I wouldn’t expect a film or series to address this, it would be nice to just see that the characters lived on.

1. What are you watching right now?
Currently I am keeping up with Castle, Dexter, Dollhouse and The Mentalist.

Please keep these coming and do not hesitate to send us all your thoughts and queries on anything Millennium and Frank Black related and you do not have to use your real name to qualify. If you would like to complete the brief questionnaire I have listed the questions below for your perusal. Email your "seven and one" profile to info@backtofrankblack.com and we'll share you those responses to the Millennium world!

Thanks Steven.

A lovely read and I have indulged myself reading some of the articles that you have generously found and shown on the Millennium Facebook page.

That page puts every other TV fan pages to shame. Nothing happening on other ones, so why bother being a fan of those.

Cheers from Iceland!
