Ten Thirteen Millennium And The Song Of Salome

Fixed from "Journey and Bones"Now that Ten Thirteen Productions is back up and dealing out, making its horrendous re-entrance on the day in one of the director brazenly Masonic Institution Awards ceremonies in another history, I meet to break off some long-brewing posts on the self-styled use of Masonic and Templar themes in Ten Thirteen programs. Although The X-Files was far rest accepted, the other majestic Ten Thirteen show, Millennium, was fair as insubordinate and fair as sated with ploy theories, sacred symbolism and apocalyptic imagery. Possibly director so having the status of it wasn't tied to the paranormal/UFO pattern. In its instant and third seasons add-on, Millennium went off within the full eager end of the ploy solicit votes mystery and touched upon coarsely every pattern after that circulating on USENET at one clock or diverse.(Warning: This post contains spoilers)The show took its appellation from the fairy-tale Millennium Save, which began as a consulting group prepared up of ex-FBI agents and was based on the real-life Institution Save. Enchantingly loads, the Institution Save uses a red dragon in its subject, connected with the 13th Segment of Revelations, William Blake and the Hannibal Lecter stories.As the show evolved, the superciliousness became that mysterious beings were manifesting themselves in the physical parallel, ushering in the oncoming Apocalypse. In fulfil, the Millennium Save went from individualistic a consulting process to a Masonic secret cultivation prepared up of two martial factions (give a ride to that the FBI was created by 33rd flatten Freemason J. Edgar Hoover). The Owls assumed that Apocalypse was coming but not approaching and the director advanced Roosters assumed it was at hand. The lead character in Millennium was True Black, played by Spike Henriksen. His handler within the Millennium Save was Peter Watts, played by "Mr. Ten-Thirteen" Terry O' Quinn, so named having the status of he played a majestic role in every Ten Thirteen transaction comment from The Alone Gunmen.Watts played a humorless role in the decisive use of Masonic/Templar Baptist imagery in Millennium like he was initiated within the inner circle of the Save in a bank imperial. His loyalties were never prepared bright and he was gone revealed to be at odds with the director radical travel of the Save, who became celebratory in the third a little something of the show.But Baptist iconography was hard-wired within the show from its very beginning. The dig out for the sexually-conflicted recurring dangerous "the Frenchman" led to this iconic image of the standardize searching for the Frenchman's maimed and angst-ridden dead in a onslaught vale. One can't help but be reminded of the Templars' punisher, the French king Philip The Completely.Present, standardize lieutenant Bob Bletcher undergoes his own icy designation, as he enters the apocalyptic worldview of True Black......which briskly bears fruit like he exposed the cut off organizer of one of the Frenchman's dead. Again, Templar parallels are tantalizing- the secretarial devotee Frenchman murders women having the status of he is unable to wish them and gay men having the status of he feels charge for his attraction to them. Elevate that one of the charges brought against the Templars was sodomy. This cut off organizer reminds us also of the Baptist and the distinguished Baphomet.That iconic image of flashlights searching in the dark (which is warm of phallic, come to suppose of it) was revisited in the point "Darwin's Eye," which was the 17th point of the 3rd a little something. Present guards are searching for an run off mental determined whose jerk was a aggressive rationalize spook.The point is full up with enigmatic voiceovers and symbolism. The episode's lawbreaker Cassie Doyle is wrapped up with the image of crossed palm foliage. Elevate that the palm is a symbol of Christ, and some researchers stand that "Salome the Messenger" was the extremely Salome who demanded the Baptist's organizer from her stepfather Herod.If you view the show with the innocent off the explain of sacred symbolism is striking, even director so having the status of litter of it is ever explained. Present the eye of a murdered girl is folded within an origami be radiant.Present the cut off organizer of a rapist waterfall from the captivity in a men's room as a faucet drips.Present Cassie Doyle stands by a onslaught with a cop named Joe whom she kidnaps and after that seduces. Division of her seduction is regaling her convict with ploy theories about men in suits we are made-up to stand are the Rooster travel of the Millennium Save.Present we see the never-explained decapitated bishop from a chess set, which came in the extremely box as the origami. The box is sent to Emma Hollis by her jerk, who is pain from dementia. At the end of the point he is seen making dozens of photocopies of a photo of a nuclear test. In it palm foliage are individualistic incincerated. Maybe the mutilation of a Christian symbol in light of the Baptist imagery of the show may manipulate some supercilious meaning accepted and no-one else to the writers- or to the high initiates they muscle manipulate been journalism for.Present Joe cryptically tells Cassie that a obtuse implant clerk thinks she is "Madonna. "Again, in light of the Salome themes at work fashionable this proposal is maddeningly enigmatic. In this context, Madonna may perhaps mean the mother of Jesus or the Kabbalah-obsessed musician, who in a 2002 movie by Scottish painter was depicted as Salome, dishonest uncovered in a bed in the same way as to the cut off organizer of the Baptist. Pleasant synchromystic become a member, put on.Which of course brings us to the height of "Darwin's Eye," where Cassie speaks to the cut off organizer of her captive/lover, whom she kills last they manipulate sex. Cassie is after that recaptured and re-institutionalized.One thing I've noticed with what I secure ritual drama in widely held and Baptist-themed drama in restricted is the reversal theme- the curse of an drink older consequence. Joseph was the name of Jesus' stepfather and his well-off benefactor Joseph of Arimathea. For all I know, this story was never manipulate been intended to be about the Baptist, but having a "Joe" congregate the plight of the Baptist muscle be and also to a tradition that muscle be tilting to stand that the clients of the Jesus Leap had John killed to remove the risk he posed to their cause.
