Primeval - Episode 8

Cutter and the team are joined by a new PR guru, Jenny Lewis (who looks exactly like Claudia Brown). Sharp, cynical, and witty, she almost immediately develops a sparky and adversarial relationship with Cutter.

Meanwhile, Connor is picked up in a video store by a beautiful young woman called Caroline. Poised, well-connected, and effortlessly sexy, Caroline is everything Connor is not, and her interest in him is all the more surprising for it. I am already suspcious of her, so I'm curious to see what she is after! Obviously, Abby is feeling the same way I do because right from the beginning she is uneasy around Caroline, for reasons even she herself doesn't quite understand.

But on to this week's story, a gleaming new skyscraper in the center of the city has quickly developed a reputation for teething problems in its electronics, so no one is surprised when smoke is spotted creeping out from the server room. On inspection, the janitor finds a thick layer of mist hugging the floor and a foul sulfurous smell - but no fire. Then something moves in the mist and he is suddenly yanked out of sight by a shadowy creature. The mist continues to spread through the building and huge ancient worms are lurking in the mist.

These are easily the ugliest creatures so for on this show - huge, long bodies with spikes and a retractable head that suck onto its prey - eghhhhh! Several of our team members get physically attacked by these icky worms.

On other insteresting news, Helen is a bitch! I don't like her and I don't like the fact that she is still after Stephen. She's been gone for 8 years, why doesn't she stay gone? Also, remember the janitor from the Rapter episode? The one who was attacked in the throat just before Connor shot Abby with the tranquilizer? He has showed up as one of Lester's drones at the ARC. What is that all about? Hopefully, all these questions will be answered in later episodes.

I love Dexter! I've read all the books, too (though the third one wasn't really...good, IMHO).

This was a great first episode for season three. Can't wait to see where it goes!
