Primeval	comment	Primeval (2007-2011) is ITV's answer to the revived Doctor Who,note The Tomorrow People (1973) being their weapon against the classic Doctor Who series. with less traveling through the cosmos, but more death (of recurring characters, anyway) and more underwear. Or, more accurately, ITV's answer to the Doctor Who spin-off Torchwood.Primeval involves a group of crack scientists and experts note Well... depending on your series, a paleontology professor, his TA, one of his students, an ex-zookeeper, an SAS guy, and a couple of Home Office boffins; or an ex-copper, an archaeologist, a PR lady, the student and the zookeeper, the Home Office guy and an Army guy; or a time-traveling ex-army guy, the student, the zookeeper, the army guy, now ex-army and with a shiny new guilt complex, a computer whiz and the Home Office guy, and occasionally a time-traveling Victorian Lady. protecting modern Britain from trans-temporal threats. These mostly consist of extinct, usually prehistoric, beasties trolling around the South of England after coming through magnetic time portals known as "anomalies".Actual dinosaurs other than birds didn't appear until the second season (despite the show being often initially billed as Torchwood with dinosaurs); Season One focuses primarily on the more ancient time periods, with some dodos, a pterosaur, a sea reptile, and a predatory creature from the future thrown in for flavor. In the later seasons, some completely fictional prehistoric species (justified, since only a small fraction of species have been discovered) and more future creatures appear along with the dinosaurs.The series launched in 2007 and ran for three seasons until its cancellation in 2009 due to budget problems. Two years later, it was revived and ran for two more seasons, the last of which ended in late 2011. Adrian Hodges, Primeval's co-creator, claims that a sixth series will someday be made, but that they must wait for commitment from a major network.A Darker and Edgier Canadian spinoff, Primeval: New World, started broadcasting on Space Channel on October 29th and aired on Syfy (and was added to Hulu) in early 2013. An American Big Damn Movie (currently in Development Hell) was also announced. Unfortunately, New World was cancelled in February 2013.Episode Guide pages for both the main show and New World have started.

Primeval / int_1237828f	comment	Anyone Can Die: At least six major characters (depending how you class Claudia's alteration into Jenny and Captain Ryan's status as a major character) and many minor characters died. Taken to the furthest extreme with the death of the main character in Series 3. By Series 4, only three of the characters remained, with the rest having died. Of the characters introduced later on, Sarah is heavily implied to have died in between Series 3 and 4, Jenny left and Danny got stuck in the past, then ended up wandering through time via anomalies, before also putting in a brief reappearance, have been Put on a Bus, probably permanently. Becker survived.

Primeval / int_1462f0d7	comment	Tom Ryan was originally supposed to die at the end of the first episode, in a classic example of this trope. However, the creators liked the actor's job so much that they kept him around until the Season Finale. Douglas Henshall (who plays Cutter) says that he was pushing for the character to be killed in every single episode, and then back again with no explanation.

It isn't. Poor Connor seems the victim of this more often than anyone else. The monsters seem to wait on cue for him to say something reassuring. Even more spectacularly in episode 4.1, where he cheerfully assures Matt that he can easily close the anomaly (with Abby even saying he's done it loads of times before). Needless tos ay, he's wrong, and the team's stuck with a Spinosaurus rampaging through London as a result.

Primeval / int_16720859	type	More Predators Than Prey
Primeval / int_16720859	comment	More Predators Than Prey: Zig-Zagged. When the prehistoric and futuristic landscapes on the other sides of the Anomalies are seen in full, sometimes this trope is in effect, sometimes it isn't. Averted with the Permian landscape on the other side of the first Anomaly. There's an entire herd of herbivorous Scutosaurus mulling around (plus multiple small, leaf-eating Coelurosauravus flying about), and there's only one or two predatory Gorgonopsids. Assuming that the Gorgonopsid/s chiefly prey on the Scutosaurus and can make the odd snack out of the Coelurosauravus, this is a decent predator-prey balance. The Silurian Scorpions' desert home seems like a case of this. There are only two lifeforms in this desertnote Somewhat Truth in Television, as the Silurian was a time when land-based organisms were still mostly shore-based, and the desert appears to be inland: the scorpions (predators) and smaller giant millipedes (implied to be the scorpions' prey). We only ever see one swarm of millipedes in the desert the entire time that the cast are there, but the sand-dwelling scorpions are never far away during the cast's trek across the desert, and at one point it looks like there's close to a dozen of there under the sand in one area. The Cretaceous pine forest which Connor and Abby are marooned in for a year seems to be almost-exclusively populated by predators. Apart from fish in the forest's waterfall which Connor fishes for his and Abby's diet, the forest's only other inhabitants are numerous Raptors (which are shown to cannibalize each-other to boot), a grown Spinosaurus, and a herd of giant theropods glimpsed in the distance.

Primeval / int_18aff462	type	Artistic License â€“ Biology
Primeval / int_18aff462	comment	Artistic License â€“ Biology: The animals depicted in the series usually diverge from their real-life equivalents to varying degrees and for a number of reasons, ranging from simple artistic convenience to making them more dramatic to suit an episode's storyline. Most notably, the Dracorex looks less like an ornithischian dinosaur and more like a dragon, with wing-like dorsal crests, exaggerated horns, and no cheeks. While the time for tranquilizer darts to take effect varies, it's usually more than ten minutes, as opposed to less than five seconds. In the first episode, Cutter comes across a human skeleton. He is initially worried that it may be his missing wife, but he soon realizes that it's a male skeleton and thus can't be her. Fair enough, but the way he checks is by counting the number of ribs. Never mind that this is based solely on the Biblical account, which even then only affected one individual from who knows how long ago (it was never said to be a hereditary trait). Checking the shape of the hipbones would be easier. An especially jarring example would be the Hesperornis. It is depicted as featherless, despite the fact that it is a bird. The pterosaurs are all bipedal and lack pycnofibres (although the anurognathids are at least quadrupedal enough to duck under a door in episode 5.5 of the original series, and the Pteranodon from the spinoff does have a few pycnofibres if you look closely).

Primeval / int_1c445e86	comment	Poor Communication Kills: A number of civilian deaths could've been averted if the ARC team was honest with them about what's happening. This ends up driving a rift between Stephen and Cutter in Series 2. To name a couple examples, Tom, after getting infected by a prehistoric parasite, asks Abby what's going on. All Abby does is stand there in silence, occasionally giving Tom vague answers and dodging his questions, making him even more suspicious and agitated than he already was. Valerie was convinced that the Smilodon was the product of a genetic experiment, and that the ARC team were sent to kill it. Cutter doesn't tell the truth about where the cat came from, which starts a chain of events that ends in Valerie getting mauled by the Smilodon.

In the first season, Helen just wants to find an Anomaly to the future so she can explore it for herself, and the worst she does in pursuit of that goal is manipulating Cutter and the team into expending their resources and troops' lives to serve her own ends. Oliver Leek from the next season is listed as a invokedComplete Monster on this wiki for a reason: his entire motivations are power-hunger and ego, he's willing to commit terrorism via using captured creatures to mass endanger the public, and he's far more petty and needlessly malicious than Helen; setting a Future Predator on Lester to slowly toy with the latter just for making Leek feel small, and having Cutter's team fed to a Smilodon while Cutter helplessly watches for no other reason than his own sadistic kicks.

Primeval / int_23698fa8	comment	Aborted Arc: After Cutter returns from the anomaly in the Season 1 finale, Claudia Brown somehow never existed and grew up as Jenny Lewis instead. The show looked like it was exploring the conflict of a romance between them - where Cutter loves Claudia and not Jenny - but Cutter dies and Jenny leaves the team, later showing back up to get married to someone else. Season 2 ended with Helen vowing things could change over Stephen's grave, with an army of clone/alternate Cleaner mercenaries giving the impression she could somehow bring him back. The next season dropped Helen's obsession with Stephen entirely, and James Murray revealed he'd never been contacted about a return. Sarah ends the Season 3 finale saying "I've got an idea." But when production moved from the UK to Ireland, actress Laila Rouass opted to stay to care for her young daughter. And so Sarah was abruptly killed off - with the only clue being a brief flashback to her screaming "Becker!" as a creature attacks her car. Jess moving in with Connor and Abby looked like the set-up for a comedy arc, then... nothing. Danny Quinn chasing Patrick Quinn through the anomaly. Neither returned in Season 5 so they either both died or are still running around searching for each other.

However, what's really presented by the show as this trope is the method that Johnson and Captain Wilder use to execute a Predator that wakes up mid-experimentation: they electrify the room, and the Predator is screaming long and hard in agony as it dies. Necessary precaution or no, Johnson doesn't even bat an eye while watching the creature die.

The clones are conditioned and mostly operate like machines, pre-programmed to recognize and obey verbal commands from their creator (to the point where even an obvious looped audio recording of their creator's voice can fool them while their real creator is physically and visually in their presence and trying to countermand the recording), although the clones have just enough innate humanity in them that one clone instinctively hesitates to commit suicide when ordered, and the Cutter clone voluntarily gives his genetic source time to save himself before carrying out a suicide-bombing order after said source had attempted to talk the clone into rebelling against his creator and staying alive.

Primeval / int_3dcc914f	comment	Took a Level in Kindness: For most of Season 2, Caroline is horribly cruel to Rex when Connor and Abby aren't around and when she wants something to do with him, stuffing him in a freezer box for knocking over a salad she made (which almost kills him), and taking a little bit more satisfaction than she needs to in brutally knocking him out to be brought to Leek. She's also at first completely unapologetic to Abby when the latter confronts her. This changes over time, particularly as it really sinks in with Caroline who she's been working with and what she's gotten herself into. She sincerely apologizes to Connor and Abby for what she did, and more than that she goes out of her way to help Rex when he's injured, specifically to atone for what she did to him. At first, James Lester seems to care little if anything for the team's members themselves if his reaction to Abby being believed dead in Season 2 is any indication, and he's ruthless enough to (reluctantly but unflinchingly) agree with Cutter about sacrificing the latter to stop Leek in the Season 2 finale. As the show's five seasons go on, not only does Lester's opinion of the team increase, but he gets subtly but noticeably mellower and a lot more genuinely concerned about their welfare, not that he'll ever admit to it.

The Hidden Villain of Season 2, Episode 3 says they intend to do this once The Team discovers who they are, believing not unlike the above two that there's a malevolent Government Conspiracy (although their motivations for doing so are considerably more personal and tragic than Tom and Duncan's were).

It's implied he feels this way about Claudia Brown ending up Ret-Gone, and he tells Connor the latter's right to blame him when they believe Abby has been killed by a creature in Episode 10. After Stephen's death, Cutter admits in the Season 3 premiere when told "It's not your fault" that he knows Helen is to blame but still can't help feeling somewhat responsible. Connor also does this sometimes. In Episode 4, he briefly declares Tom's death happened because he was involved with The Team. He feels this way about the horrific Bad Future in Season 5 after he aided Philip's New Dawn project. Compounding his guilt is that he should've known better than to put Philip's hubris on a pedestal, but instead he ended up betraying everything that Cutter ever believed in without realizing it. Becker feels responsible for The Team (which is his job, but it also goes a bit deeper than that), and after Sarah's death and the disappearances of most of the team, it's implied he's still carrying around guilt for feeling he was unable to do that job.

There are no more humans around, and all that remains of our existence are decaying, modern-looking ruins infested by Future Predators and Megopterans, surrounded by forestry. Helen Cutter heavily implies that the apocalypse's fallout actually reaches Class 4. The season never bothers to properly wrap this Story Arc up and explain what happened, but Helen claims that humans created the Predators as bioweapon beasts, and she and other characters separately conclude that if the Predators got loose, then "humanity never stood a chance." Word of God here somewhat supports this. The last two seasons feature an alternate Bad Future where the Earth is headed towards a Class 6 (Total Extinction), and in the meantime, the only things left alive are some struggling human survivors and a handful of likewise-struggling future creature species, after a cataclysm that's set to occur in the present (New Dawn forcibly creating an oversized man-made Anomaly) turned the Earth's entire surface into a barren, "sterile" desolation wracked by poisonous wind storms.

Primeval / int_93ed8515	comment	Set Right What Once Went Wrong: Season 3 features a case where it's Helen who's motivated by this as a Well-Intentioned Extremist after she visits a Bad Future. However, she doesn't really seem to know exactly what caused the disaster in said Bad Future or she just madly changes her mind about it in her Sanity Slippage, wavering between blaming the ARC and blaming Christine Johnson. Ironically, it's implied that Helen's efforts are responsible for creating an even worse Bad Future. It's revealed that Matt and his father Gideon came from the Bad Future to find out who and what caused the future apocalypse that has ravaged the Earth in their time, and prevent it from ever happening.

Lester was a Home Office bureaucrat and therefore probably a Non-Action Guy.note Considering the job he was doing though, he might have had light firearms training. However, light firearms don't have the stopping power to take down a Future Predator and Lester's actual combat experience is next to non-existent. The fact that the lights are flickering, he's injured and panicking probably didn't help matters. Also, the Predator is so fast that it would be hard to hit it even with that many bullets.

Primeval / int_974b47a7	comment	Men Are the Expendable Gender: An egregious user of this trope, especially early on. All deaths in the first series (whether special forces or civilian bystanders) are male and it takes until the third episode of the second series for a female one-shot character to die. And even though she's a villain responsible for several deaths, her own death is apparently so much more tragic than the two men that die in the same episode that Cutter goes into Heroic BSoD. A few episodes later, a giant scorpion attacks a beach. Despite the dozens of women around, the only visible victims it eats are men. The show's been getting better about this: one episode of series 4 has the heroes fail to save a girl while managing to save two boys, although the heroes are upset about their failure, they don't dwell on it too much.

Primeval / int_9e1e14ea	type	Ambition Is Evil
Primeval / int_9e1e14ea	comment	Ambition Is Evil: Several of the human antagonists have a case of this. Oliver Leek apparently believes that the Anomaly crisis is going to force the world as humanity knows it to change drastically in the near-future, and when that time comes, he wants to be one of the big dogs standing on top. To that end, he's willing to betray the ARC, murder every and any of the heroes whom even try to get in his way, and he's collected dozens of creatures from the Anomalies with the plans to use them as weapons of terror against the public. It's also made clear that a big part of Leek's motivations is a lifelong inferiority complex which has driven him to crave respect, fear and reverence from others. Early in Season 3, antagonistic Intrepid Reporter Mick Harper is driven by greed and a hunger for career advancement to get in the ARC's way and to try and get proof of the creatures' existence. It's unclear in the end with Season 3's scatter-brained and hobbled-together overarching storylines precisely what Christine Johnson wants, but it's clear that she's a civil servant motivated by ambition and a hunger for power where the Anomalies are concerned, and she's willing to toy with Future Predators to that end (ironically, the latter leads Helen to believe for a time that Johnson is responsible for the Bad Future where the Predators have apparently wiped out humanity). Philip Burton in the last two seasons is a radical scientific businessman who wants to manipulate the Anomalies in order to create a new green fuel source for the world. Although Philip apparently has no interest in making any material profits for himself off of selling this green product, it's implied that he's very eager to make a huge name for himself via the intellectual, philanthropic and scientific victories that his plan will entail. Notably, Philip's obsession with realizing his ambitions on his own terms causes his sense of morality to take a backseat multiple times, and it makes him extremely manipulative and distrustful of others sans the one person whom he should have known far better than to trust (Helen). When Philip realizes how badly he's screwed up, he admits that it was his ego above all else that led him down this path.

Primeval / int_b47f7b7f	comment	T. Rexpy: For the majority of the show's run, it forewent featuring the Tyrannosaurus rex in favor of giving similar, more obscure giant predators from prehistory a chance to shine in the spotlight. The Gorgonopsid in Season 1 was clearly meant to be this trope for the show at its beginning. It primarily resembles the gorgonopsid species Inostrancevia but is far larger than that specimen, and despite galloping on four equally-large legs, the Gorgonopsid's head shape and its dinosaur-like tail end up making it superficially look a lot like a saber-toothed T. rex. It's also a territorial hunter that won't hesitate to go for long pig to match, and even the Gorgonopsid's vicious duel with the smaller, more agile and more intelligent Future Predator seems like an expy for Rexy's fight against the Velociraptors. Season 3 features an even more T. rex-like creature when the T. rex's larger-sized and more agile cousin Giganotosaurus serves as the Monster of the Week. The creature is even mistaken for a T. rex by Jenny, before Connor corrects her and he unofficially dubs it a "G-Rex" for simplicity.

Valerie, although she wasn't exactly in a good frame of mind. The real estate agent from 3x02. Connor and Abby find him hiding in a bathroom screaming and tell him to be quiet so he won't alert the gremlin in the house. After he nods and shuts up, what does he do? Run down the stairs screaming like a moron. The gremlin quickly pounces on him and claws at his back. The fat guy at the barbecue in 5x01. If you see a gigantic insect coming out of the ground and slowly moving towards you, get off your ass and run away. Do not offer it your half-eaten hot dog. The girl running from the T. rex in series 5 should count, since she basically makes all of the wrong decisions when it comes to surviving, but Matt manages to save her. One of the most hilarious examples occurs in series 5 episode 4. An ARC employee flings a beetle back through Connor's New Dawn prototype which it emerged from. Almost immediately, thousands more start literally pouring from the anomaly. What do you think the guy does? He frickin' stands there and watches as they move toward him in the millions. He does panic once they start to crawl on him and eat him alive, but anyone in real life who wasn't commiting suicide would have reacted sooner!

Primeval / int_befc25d4	type	Viler New Villain
Primeval / int_befc25d4	comment	Viler New Villain: Played Straight from Season 1 to Season 2. In the first season, Helen just wants to find an Anomaly to the future so she can explore it for herself, and the worst she does in pursuit of that goal is manipulating Cutter and the team into expending their resources and troops' lives to serve her own ends. Oliver Leek from the next season is listed as a invokedComplete Monster on this wiki for a reason: his entire motivations are power-hunger and ego, he's willing to commit terrorism via using captured creatures to mass endanger the public, and he's far more petty and needlessly malicious than Helen; setting a Future Predator on Lester to slowly toy with the latter just for making Leek feel small, and having Cutter's team fed to a Smilodon while Cutter helplessly watches for no other reason than his own sadistic kicks. After Leek, however, this trope is Zig-Zagged. In Season 3, Helen, though far more dangerous and more of a threat than before, is ultimately trying stop mankind from unleashing an extinction-level apocalypse in the future, even if she decides she can take the same opportunity to prevent mankind from existing altogether so that other species can develop without suffering humanity's shortcomings, and she implies that she's willing to die if it'll achieve her ends. In Season 4, Ethan/Patrick is senselessly murderous, doesn't seem to have any more idea of what he wants than the writers do and doesn't have a higher plan, but he has a fairly compelling excuse for growing into such a psycho and he still has something resembling a heart when it came to Charlotte. Philip Burton in the last two seasons, though he can be dangerously petty, egomaniacal, overly manipulative and ruthless in his own right, is arguably the least violent of all the seasonal antagonists: compared to the previous antagonists, he wants to use the Anomalies to solve the worldwide energy crisis with completely-green energy which he supposedly intended to give away for free, he arguably never breaks the law outright in pursuit of his goals, and he sacrifices himself to try and amend his mistake upon realizing what he's done.

She's also at first completely unapologetic to Abby when the latter confronts her. This changes over time, particularly as it really sinks in with Caroline who she's been working with and what she's gotten herself into.

Primeval / int_d243518d	comment	In Spite of a Nail: Leaving baby Future Predators in the past specifically switches Claudia Brown with Jenny Lewis, introduces Oliver, and gives the team a new home base? Okay. Lampshaded repeatedly. Early on, Stephen points out how odd it is that so little changed, as do several other characters (including Cutter) later on. Toward the end of Season 2, it's suggested that the sheer implausibility of it all is significant to the understanding of the Anomalies. There were also other things that changed, or may have, that were never mentioned. Abby has a different apartment, no longer walks around in her underwear, and seemed to have no romantic feelings for Stephen. Connor seems a bit more shy: compared to him asking Abby for a kiss is Series 1: and his friends are never mentioned, which could imply he never had them One of them (ie, the surviving one) pops up in 4.2. His taste in clothing also changes as instead of button downs and sweaters/sweater vests, he wears mostly tee shirts, hoodies, and button vests. Also, instead of being a dinosaur expert, he instead becomes a computer genius. Lester's suits are a lot less tacky, and he's no longer a knight (check the credits) or an asshole. There are other things as well (the gorgonopsid never died, the scutosarus never returned to its time, etc.).

Primeval / int_deb39de3	comment	Bad Future: In the third season, Helen Cutter and later The Team discover a future world where humanity is apparently extinct, leaving behind decaying city ruins which are crawling with Future Predators and Megopterans. As the team themselves observe, the architecture and technology in the city indicates the future disaster which wiped out humanity isn't far away from the cast's present at all. Worse, it's implied that the Anomaly Research Centre themselves might've been the ones responsible for humanity's destruction in this future. It's actually not the heroes but the Big Bad herself who tries to Set Right What Once Went Wrong during this season (but she ultimately resorts to trying to stop humanity from ever evolving altogether to that end). Ultimately, this storyline is dropped and nothing done with it at the end of Season 3 due to the season's frankly messy Story Arc writing. Seasons 4 and 5 feature a very different Bad Future, although the Team don't actually physically visit it until during the Series Finale. In the future, human survivors still (barely) exist for the time being, but the future Earth is a completely inhospitable wasteland on the surface where only a handful of humans and future creature species (which mostly live primarily underground now) still exist, and even they are still headed towards total biosphere extinction. These two seasons' new team leader Matt Anderson is revealed to have been sent to the present from this world to Set Right What Once Went Wrong, having discovered that the extinction event which permanently poisoned the Earth occurred due to something humanity did with the Anomalies in the present (he eventually discovers that the New Dawn project caused the cataclysm when it created an oversized man-made Anomaly with an infinite lifespan and lost control of it). At the end of the series, Matt succeeds in derailing this future from ever happening. Even more worrying, it's implied that this future was caused by Helen in her attempts to prevent the earlier Bad Future.

Connor was always very intelligent, though his intelligence was exaggerated in the fourth and fifth series, to the point where he can even create machines that can open anomalies. Helen has also grown more psychotic as the series progresses. It could be argued that her psyche is simply degrading, though, and she just does keep getting crazier.

From the uniform of the person working there, it could be that he was put in a senior centre or hospice as the uniform seems to be healthcare oriented

Primeval / int_fbe24ca5	type	Discovering Your Own Dead Body
Primeval / int_fbe24ca5	comment	Discovering Your Own Dead Body: Series 1 has an especially grim example. During a trip to the Permian era in the first episode, Nick and Captain Ryan discover a decomposed human skeleton among the remains of a destroyed human camp, but are unable to identify it before they have to return to their own time. In the Series 1 finale, they unknowingly travel a few years further back in time and begin to realize they're part of a Stable Time Loop, before their camp is attacked by a future predator and Captain Ryan is killed. During his final moments, the captain realizes that the body they found on their first adventure was his own future corpse, and his fate has already been sealed the entire time since then.

Primeval / int_fc3e6e8a	comment	I've Never Seen Anything Like This Before: In Episode 6, Connor says the Home Office's science lab said this when they identified a blood sample from the Monster of the Week as possessing extremely-scrambled bat-like DNA. Connor says as much in Series 2, Episode 6 regarding the neural clamps used on the Future Predators.

Primeval / int_fccd06b6	comment	Beware the Nice Ones: While she never exactly gets serious, it's probably not a good idea to underestimate Jess. She is able to keep relatively composed while being instructed to dismantle a bomb, she was able to shoot a two-inch beetle from about ten feet away while hallucinating and half-unconscious, and she even managed to, somehow, go from one side of the ARC to the other, while running into about four Future Predators, and with an injured Lester, and do all of this without getting so much as a scratch. And she also had to have switched guns between Point A and Point B, which is important to note because when the whole incident started, only one gun in the entire building was loaded.

Primeval / int_fd4f8299	comment	Season 3 features a case where it's Helen who's motivated by this as a Well-Intentioned Extremist after she visits a Bad Future. However, she doesn't really seem to know exactly what caused the disaster in said Bad Future or she just madly changes her mind about it in her Sanity Slippage, wavering between blaming the ARC and blaming Christine Johnson. Ironically, it's implied that Helen's efforts are responsible for creating an even worse Bad Future.
