So, Primeval started on BBC America for the past couple of weeks and I've been re-watching it, having had completely forgotten how effin' awesome the first series was.

- DUDE, Nick Cutter FTW, for reals. What is not to love about that man?!

- There's something really fun about re-watching this show. I don't know what it is, maybe it's that you can catch things you didn't see before, and/or that you can appreciate things better because you know what's to happen, but so fun.

- I'm actually a little disappointed that they dropped Stephen/Abby in the second season. I get why, with the revelation of the Helen/Stephen affair, but still. They would've been hot.

- I totally forgot that Captain Ryan was really that present! I thought he was more a minor character than he actually is.

- WHY HAVEN'T MORE PEOPLE WATCHED/TALKED ABOUT IT? Personally, I love it more than Doctor Who currently. Which really isn't amazingly surprising, so that's pointless.

And....that's it. Boring.....

I loved Primeval. Though I never really paid that much attention to its finer plot points. I just went 'Yay! dinosaurs!' A lot.

Heh, that's a fun way to watch. I liked the dodos.

The most interesting thing is that it's somehow been compared to both Torchwood and Doctor Who, but it's definitely it's own show.

Simple explanation: Dinosaurs running around the present, and there's a team that chases after them to send them back.

There's a lot of messing with time stuff and some humor and awesome characters. It gets a bit darker in the second season (2 seasons with a total of 13 episodes, it's returning next year) but most of it's just fun.

I would definitely suggest it to anyone with some spare time! :D

Yay! Another Primeval fan! XD
Personally, I prefer Connor/Abby to Stephen/Abby, though I admit Stephen has his moments... Just not as many as Nick =P
But better than Dr Who?! Neva!! But, each to his/her own, I guess :P

Heh. It's just how I feel about DW now, I'm sure at one point I would have disagreed with myself! :D

Amazing and funny show that is <33 It's a shame that they only produce so very few episodes per season, but as long as they keep n producing, I won't complain (out loud).

It's so fun! I've heard their third series will have 10 episodes! Can't wait for it :)
