This article is great and really fascinating! -- 66.2.146.89 20:12, 28 Aug 2004 (UTC)

I think the "110 AD" is a typographical error that has crept in over the ages. The original revision had it as "10", as does the posting which is the source of much of the original article, and the cited timeline on Geocities. Somehow I missed this on first rewrite. 60.46.249.243 07:59, 20 February 2006 (UTC) But 10 AD is a nonsense, there were no christians in 10 AD!!!! and no persecution against them until Nero (c. 70 AD) 83.97.184.15 02:11, 11 September 2007 (UTC)

Needs a lot of work

I cleaned up a couple grammar mistakes, but this article needs a lot of work. It's full of sentence fragments, they style is juvenile, and it needs to cite sources. I barely watched Millenium so I don't know where to go for the sources. thx1138 05:20, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

Gnostic references

It's a while since I saw the show, but I think some episodes (e.g. The Hand of Saint Sebastian) as well as some of the episodes in the end of the second series and some third series episodes hinted that the Grouop has Gnostic origins. Autarch (talk) 20:46, 24 April 2008 (UTC)

Image Needs Replacing

While the Millennium group used an Ouroboros as their logo, it looked nothing like this one, with a much simpler design. Can we use a shot from the show itself? 2620:117:C080:520:5E26:AFF:FEFE:6AF8 (talk) 13:50, 11 January 2015 (UTC)
