Primeval - 5.01 featuring Giant Beetles

An underground creature grabs a worker. Connor learns some of Philip's secrets and Philip introduces him to April. Lester is hoping for a knighthood.

Giant bugs - yuck! - but I liked Becker's tank lust. This incident was a good argument for not having Connor and Abby on the same team.

Seven out of ten.

Primeval - 4.07 With terror birds and a surprise return

At a old prison, that is now a museum, multiple anomalies appear.

Rather liked that Danny Quinn made it home but I'm not sure of the point of Ethan being Danny's missing brother Patrick. Yay, Danny confirms Helen Cutter is dead.

Well, the ending seemed rather ominous.

Eight out of ten.

Notes:
-Patrick was 14, went through an anomaly 18 years ago.
-Matt's from the future, to prevent to coming sterilizing disaster of the world that wiped out surface life.

Primeval - 3.01 featuring the Egyptian Suncage

An anomaly opens at the British Museum where Sarah Page works. Captain Becker joins the team.

Sort of a shame they didn't use the mythological creatures angle more in season 3.

Seven out of ten.

Primeval - 4.05 featuring the Witchfield Worm

Abby, Connor and Matt travel to Witchfield Cove which has a creature known as the Worm which turns to be a labyrinthodont. Ethan continues to hold Emily captive. Philip offers Connor a position with his company.

I think I missed Becker.

Primeval - 4.04 - Featuring Killer Detention

On a Saturday, an anomaly appears at a school and Therocephalians come through. Philip threatens to close the menagerie and euthanize the animals, including Rex.

I rather liked the school - most of mine were drab affairs, with little natural light. Does Becker live at the ARC?

Primeval - 4.03 featuring Time Travellers and Tree Creatures

Three time travellers come through an anomaly seeking medical aid for one of them.

Seven out of ten.

Notes:
- Gideon is dying, weeks to months to live
- Gideon has been waiting his whole life for it.
- 15 in Emily's group, interfering in another human era is against the rules,
- Lady Emily Merchant, Born 1840 London - travelling with Ethan, dead woman was Charlotte
- Philip has a black project called New Dawn

Primeval - 4.02 featuring Kaprosuchus aka Boar Croc

Abby is allowed back to work in the ARC as the keeper of the Menagerie while Connor isn't allowed back to the ARC as all front line positions are now military.

Why wouldn't they take Connor back into tech as he developed the anomaly detector and closer?  Let alone his qualifications in cryptozoology and paleontology. Matt's motives are rather intriguing - along with Gideon. I liked Jess' flat.

Seven out of ten.

Notes
Philip is the one who implemented the military only on the front lines rule. Matt and Lester wanted Abby and Connor back on the front lines.

Primeval - 4.01

Abby and Connor have spent a year surviving in the Cretaceous, hoping to find a way home.

Eight out of ten.

Primeval - 3.10 3rd Season Finale

Danny, Abby and Connor chase Helen in the future anomaly. Sarah and Becker deal with an open anomaly at Johnson's facility.

And this is why time travel is bad and improbable. It gives someone the opportunity to wipe out their entire species.

Helen and the raptor next to the Australopithecus would make quite the confounding find and given that the Australopithecus were probably preserved Helen and the raptor should be too. Maybe Danny hid or destroyed them so they wouldn't fossilize.

Eight out of ten.

Primeval - 3.08 featuring Future Insects

Abby's brother Jack ends up in the future after accidentally going through an anomaly.  Becker, Abby, Connor, And Danny go through the anomaly to the future apparently devoid of humanity and instead populated with giant flying ant/wasp descendants and super predators.

I hate insects.

Seven out of ten.

Primeval - 3.06 featuring Terror Birds

Christine Johnson takes over the ARC, with Danny, Connor, Abby and Sarah escaping to what they believe is a safe site, but is, instead, an anomaly through which Terror Birds are emerging. Lester is dismissed and Becker is kept on by Christine. Abby's brother holds a poker game in her flat.

Eight out of ten.

Primeval - 3.02 "Gremlins"

Cutter makes a prediction of an anomaly site based on their new model mapping anomalies through history.

Danny Quinn is introduced.

Seven out of ten.

Primeval - 2.07 featuring Leek's Zoo

Cutter, Jenny, Abby and Connor are held by Helen and Leek at Leek's zoo, while Stephen deals with a giant sand scorpion released by Leek unto a beach.

I am still annoyed that Stephen hasn't been brought back to life.

Eight out of ten.

Primeval - 2.05 featuring Giant Scorpions

A teenage girl gets trapped on the other side of an anomaly in desert full of giant scorpions.

Seven out of ten.

Primeval - 2.03 featuring Sabre-tooth Tigers

The team tries to track down a potential Sabre-Tooth Tiger in an amusement park.
