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.

Primeval - Episode 4

Episode 4





A flock of dodos come squawking through an anomaly under a football stadium but they may not be as innocent as they look. Lurking deep inside them is a deadly parasite just bursting to get out. Why is it there is never a nice, safe prehistoric animal?

Helen Cutter - now in custody at the Home Office - is refusing to co-operate with Lester and is furious with Cutter for helping to entrap her. Lester is such a bastard - he's the character you just love to hate! Helen is the only one who understands how the anomalies work but for now she's keeping her secrets safe.

Claudia dislikes Helen, wary of her motives and deep down jealous of her apparent hold over Cutter. You can see the attraction growing every week between Cutter and Claudia. However, Claudia puts her skepticism aside, giving Helen the chance to redeem herself. But instead of helping, Helen uses the anomaly to escape, leaving in her wake, not a pack of vicious carnivores as everyone expected - but a flock of dodos. Contrary to reputation, these birds are far from harmless as Connor's suspicious friends are about to discover.

Connor's secret life, full of late night excursions, mystery phone calls and friendships with girls is really starting to bug his friends. They set out on a covert mission to discover what's really going on. They steal a dodo, unaware that it's carrying a deadly parasite and with one bite, Connor's friend Tom is infected. Can the others find him before a pandemic is unleashed?

Tom finds himself struggling with the urge to attack. A staunch conspiracy theorist - even worse than Hodgins on the FOX series BONES - he seeks out Abby for answers. Time's running out and Lester's livid. Did Cutter know of Helen's planned escape? Did Helen unleash the contaminated birds on purpose? Cutter knows she's ruthless but surely she's not capable of this? He wants answers more than anyone but will he ever see Helen again?

A frantic race ensues to find Abby before it's too late... Will they make it? Can Tom be saved? The dangerous reality of the anomalies is about to hit Connor hard. Is he strong enough to go on?

After only 4 episodes I am totally in love with this series. Part time travel, part mystersy, all action, suspense and romance rolled into one great show!
