Cat) and an asthmatic Chihuahua named Ren, who were, from all inferences (and interviews with its creator), gay lovers. Not that sex really entered into the equation with this series of demented and bizarre cartoons that featured slimy body fluids, spas tic action, genre-bending outrageousness and a gor geous sense of color and design. This DVD set features some commentaries and a featurette, but the episodes themselves have been slightly edited. edged toward “killer of the week" plots, the second season focused more on Black and the Masonic-like secret society for which he works. Horror and con spiracy theories combine as Millennium mines its best season, but it’s the relationship between Black and his young daughter that holds together the fragile humanity behind the series. Unlike many police pro cedural shows that overuse queer criminals, Millennium rarely relied on this trope. For those who love atmospheric horror with a distinctive visual flair and solid acting, this is your best bet. The DVD set also features some featurettes and commentary tracks.

Why is no one rescu ing them? Why is there a polar bear on the island, as well as an unseen gigantic monster? Are the four dozen survivors really alone? Why do their past lives seem to have so many intersections? The creators of Lost seem to dole out the answers at a leisurely pace, but not so slowly that it alienates viewers. The cast is uniformly excellent as they attempt to rebuild some life on an island devoid of comforts, and several of the leads are awfully easy on the eyes. It seems astonishing though that of 44 very diverse survivors, none of them is gay or lesbian. Guess it’s another mystery of the island. Despite the lack of queer characters, Lost is an excel lent thrill ride and an engrossing drama. The superb DVD set has a raft load of extras, including documen taries, commentaries, audition tapes, unaired scenes and more. Millennium: The Complete Second Season Box Speaking of thrill rides and drama, Millennium stars lance Henriksen as Frank Black, a dour serial killer profiler in Seattle who works for a secretive group that is ferreting out evil. While the first season Drawn Together: Season One Uncensored! Baramount Saving the most audacious for last, here is a two- disc set of the most offensively funny parody ever broadcast on television. Drawn Together features eight cartoon “types" put into a reality house and filmed: a superhero, a storybook princess, a black- and-white 1940s-era starlet, a Japanese anime crea ture, a mystery-solving singer, a video game hero and more. Don’t eat or drink while watching this, or you risk spills and projectile spewing, as the beloved car toon characters engage in the most adult-oriented juvenilia ever animated. Watch for copious queer con tent, including a hilarious song duet as the bigoted princess and the foxy African-American mystery solver discover lesbian kissing in “Some Black Chick’s Tongue,” and gape in amazement as God discusses his true feelings about gays while in a gloryhole booth! Extras include deleted scenes and karaoke, but a set this funny barely needs the help. It’s a guaranteed good time. • A ndy M angels is a best-selling entertainment author and DVD special features documentary director. Visit his site at wu w.andymangels.com.
