Primeval 305
Well, we're certainly cleaning house, aren't we? It says something about this show's very joyful willingness to kill off its leads that I thought for sure Jenny was dead, and was a bit surprised they let her live. Usually with a show, it's sort of the other way around. Well played, Primeval, well played.
So, that's Steven, Cutter, and now Jenny/Claudia gone. Goodness. Though, I have to say, while I'll miss Jenny, I won't miss the wardrobe department's 'cruel fashion jokes to hide a pregnancy' game. Polka dots? Seriously? And the belts? What?
I'm surprised they missed out on the fantastic chance to stick it to Conner one more time, though. Not nearly enough people have died in his arms or by his actions/inaction. "Not again, please not again," oh Conner, you went from comic relief who made me roll my eyes a bit, to a guy I feel compelled to hug and then buy you a beer or six. Best guess, Abby gets mauled by some sort of vicious future sea urchin and dies in Conner's arms. Death by dodo, death by crazy ex-wife, nearly death by giant stompy mushroom, death by sea urchin -- it all makes sense. The end of the show, it'll just be Lester and Conner standing awkwardly all alone in the ARC.
I like Danny quite a lot, and find him disturbingly attractive. A+ on the absurdly 'can do' attitude, too. Bless. Helicopter last week, flame thrower this week, next week? ICBM?
"At the risk of sounding like someone from the old testament -- is there any sane reason why you're keeping animals in the arc?" Ha. Lester always gets the best lines. Though, I think Conner comes in second with "it's like prison break with ... beavers."
Oh show -- even with giant, ridiculous mushroom creatures, you still hit all my 'entertainment' buttons. Don't care what anybody else says, love you lots.
