Primeval : Discussion/Appreciation

[Flyboy]

Spoiler:

Wasn't massively fond of this latest ep.

I've been very much enjoying the power struggle between the ARC and the military, but today's ep just didn't work for me. It seemed odd that they'd seize the building in such a fashion, and even more odd that it would result in the team fleeing. At the end of the day, they may be "villainous" but, the military in primeval aren't the NID or such like, if it was a legitimatly sanctionated transference of duristiction, I can't see how it went down that way. It just felt extremely contrived.

Bah, I'm so behind on season three...went on holiday and missed a couple of episodes, and ITV catchup online is rubbish. (Tiny wee screen smaller than Youtube, and dreadful picture quality that pixilates if you go full screen. Bah.)

On the other hand, today I bought season two for cheap. Lovely silly fun.

Where I am S3 has not yet started, so I am waiting with eager anticipation as they have started showing clips for it (commences May 16 I think) and looks fabulous. I have avoided viewing the thread so that I would not have any spoilers. I certainly hope the comment above about ITV having cancelled it proves to be incorrect.

[Alder]

Yup, someone points out that ITV have denied that it's been cancelled. I think it's doing fairly well at the moment...

[Marianne_24]

I hope too it's not cancelled/will be cancelled, after the early shock it really grew on me again ...

I decided to tune in to see if this show has improved. But yesterdays episode was an absolute joke.

Spoiler:

I can see why two of the main actors have quit.

I am so happy that season three is finally coming to BBC America, It has taken a lot of determination not to watch it on my computer but its all worth it to see each episode for the first time on my 52 inch plasma screen.

Oh and Dumper thanks shouldn't you have said that in spoilers.

I agree that it wasn't a very good ep this week but i've enjoyed all the other eps this season

Ooh it'll be so worth it. It's not the same watching it on a monitor!

If I mind right doesn't S3 have more eps than the previous seasons?

It has 10 eps.

The dragon ep was a bit...well...questionable...

I don't get why on earth they didn't think to close the anomaly to the dragon's time period that was on the other side of the anomaly to the Knight's world.

Oh cooie, thanks I wish we done shows like the US, they make like 20 But I don't think we have the resourses for that

Yeah it was. I was ok in parts but overall I think it was quite weak for an ep. Well you can never have every ep great. Overall i've been really liking this season. I've liked all the seasons

I prefer shorter seasons. 20 odd episodes leads them to be sloppy and not purposeful, and you get episodes that are frankly dire. Generally a 13 or 10 episode season is much better imo. With more direction.

hmmm, you know, that's actually a very good point It does stop some of those dire standalone eps!
