BBC America
(Series 2, Episode 7 – Season Finale!)
Primeval has been renewed for a third series across the pond and is expected to start filming said series in early 2009. I’m not sure if they knew that or not when they filmed this episode that they were getting renewed, so they worked hard to make sure that we hated Helen as much as humanly possible by the end of this.
So do any of you know what the hell happened to the character of Stephen this series? I guess after the timeline changes between the first and second series, he became a tool. And yet no one mentioned this particular personality change, what with being focused on Claudia/Jenny and all. Maybe Helen has some venereal disease that brings out the stupid in guys. Nick has been out long enough to have started recovering. Maybe there’s a Helen’s crotch brain rot therapy group out there.
Everything I Need to Know I Learned from an Anomaly
- If you turn your music up too loud on the beach, you will get punished by getting devoured by a giant sand scorpion. But if you bury a man in the sand and leave him there, he will get devoured. Karma’s a bitch.
- Two girls thrust into a cell together will get into a full-on brawl, completely with hair pulling and kickboxing.
- When being paraded by armed guards through a facility, it never hurts to swing around a corner holding onto a pole as if you haven’t a care in the world. It helps to raise your spirits.
- The anomalies were created so Helen Cutter could reshape the future. Egocentric much?
- Super evolved future bats wearing tiny flattened red Shriners hats like to play with their food. And they can’t live without their hats.
- When Stephen is grieving and holding his cell phone down by his thigh, he can hear Helen on the other end telling him to listen to her web of lies.
- Jenny went and grew a pair, and I’m not talking about her chest.
- I would say Helen should have agreed to sacrifice herself by going back into the chamber, but as she’s a self-serving psychotic bitch that would never happen. And she deserved Stephen’s fate. Man do I hate that character.
- When you go to a friend and colleague’s funeral, it is appropriate to wear an incredibly short, frilly black skirt so long as you have a long sleeve and sensible top on.
- If you save the world on a regular basis and your would be girlfriend has been erased by a timeline shift in reality, it is okay to litter.
- The ugly guy on Leek’s team who kept getting caught by Team Primeval is a Cylon. There are many copies. Did Primeval just jump the raptor?

awesome show … can’t wait until we get to see Series 3.
Of course I think we’ll have seen the end of Battlestar Galactica, the next series of Dr. Who and maybe Terminator 5 by that time
Nah Terminator 5 won’t come out until 2011 at the easiest, everything else is very likely through. ;)
I am actually going to miss Stephen, he may have been a dip but he kicked butt.
The guys in Helen’s employee are clones, I think.
I really didn’t like this show when it first came out, then it grew on me. It wasn’t about the monster of the week though, it was about the characters. I love Conner. He cracks me up.
The only thing I don’t like, Abby running around in her underwear. They have done a nice job not making her do that through the second half of the season though. Her pet must now be used to the cooler temperatures.
The character of Helen is one of my most despised characters of all time. I suppose that makes her a good actress. When she is being a complete skeez and puts on what she believes is a sexy smirk of evil-doing…I want to climb right into an anomaly and out in front of her to show her who’s boss.
Whereas I liked Claudia up to the point when she was replaced and a few episodes into Jenny’s arrival…I like Jenny much more now. There is more depth to her character, so overall, it was a good move, even though initially my hackles were up.
I’ll miss it. Hopefully they will run concurrently with BBC so we don’t have to wait for the world to change before we see it again.
