Primeval

Season 3

Primeval is back on screen for the third time. Series number three had a not so great trailer released a while ago, now for the fourth episode already it is back on TV.

Hm, I started up watching it "back in the days" as a huge fan. I mean, great characters, nice storyboard, you can overlook the strangely bad animations of the creatures themselves. You can do that one season, you can do it two seasons but then the third seasons starts up with a supercroc walking on two legs. To fit into ancient egyptian mythology.

Yes, I like supercrocs, I also like egyptian mythology. What I not so much like is when screenwriters can't come up with new ideas anymore and therefore set the whole storyline into a mystery context. First episode, okay Sina, give them a chance.

The second episode came up with ... this ... and what the hell that is describes the website of ITV: "The Camouflage Beast is a visitor from the future. It appears to be a form of primate and shares many characteristics with the Madagascan aye aye: a creature so strange looking that native mythology believes it to be a symbol of death." Is that so? Aha ...

No, ITV, you can not make that up with big carnivore dinosaurs in episode four and it even overshades my love for the characters a bit. Please. Stop. This. The story became a mess. Don't stop the series, get it back on a straight path! Pleeeeeaaaaase!

Primeval Season 3 - on TV since April 2009
