Aside for the fact that both shows have Terry O'Quinn playing major roles, I saw something wierd in the "sneek peek" of Recon, just after the "Dr Linus" episode.

In the said sneek peek, we saw a flah saying :"The time is now!" and another saying "The end is near". Both of those sentences were key quotes of season 2 and 3 of Millennium. I know there's probably 0 link between the two shows but I just wanted to know if I'm the only one to have saw the familiarity?

I do now. Nice catch.

However, I think it just might have to do with being so close to the end of the series.

TO'Q always gives 110% to all of his characters.

I didn't catch that right away but I definitely see it now.
There are a number of similarities between Lost and Millennium. (There are also a lot between Lost and Carnivale.) The biggest are the battle between good and evil and the theme of science vs faith. (Seen in Millennium in the two factions of the Group.)
Peter Watts seems very Lockelike to me too. (Not because he was played by TOQ but because of his beliefs and attitude. I can think of a couple of scenes where the things he says could have easily been written for Locke.)

Choice being given though, I'd take Peter Watts over John Locke

I noticed the same thing when I was watching some old episodes of Millennium. Then I remembered that before Frank Black and his family moved to 1910 Ezekiel Drive (the Yellow House), their previous address was 108 Mariner Drive. 108....the numbers in LOST One episode in Millennium talked about "The Beginning and The End" and then "Beware of the Dog" or something like that. The cyclical nature of life was mentioned and 108 popped up several times in both episodes if I recall. The BOTD episode also had a man who lived in a cabin surrounded by a circle of stones (not ash) to keep the dogs/evil out. Interesting!

That was a good episode of Millenium. I liked that show until they ran out of ideas, cliff-hanged an apocaplyptic plague, which anti-climactically - and due to no efforts exerted by the good guys - went nowhere, and turned the show into a poor imitation of the X-Files.

TOQ is very good in that show.
