Primeval: Episode 3

[the_other_sandy]

I think I'm going to start a Primeval drinking game. Every time Nick Cutter says, "she's my wife," do a shot.

Helen's a real prize, isn't she? She doesn't feel like she owes Nick an apology or an explanation for letting him think she's been dead for the last 8 years. I don't believe for one second that she contacted him because she wants company. For one thing, she's had company (whoever that guy was that was found dead with her camera in episode 1). For another thing, her clothes are in too good a shape to have lasted 8 years and her watch battery still works, so she's obviously been making trips through the rift. If she wanted company, she had plenty of opportunity to find it then. Also, if she wanted Nick for the company, she would've greeted him more warmly. She doesn't seem to have missed him at all, so whatever it is she wants from Nick, company is not it. Helen's "You're rejecting me?" to Nick just about made me laugh. Umm, yes? Is there any particular reason he shouldn't after the way you've treated him?

I did have a moment of doubt for the show when Nick said to check bodies of water for the anomaly. That would make sense if they were looking for aquatic predators, not for the anomaly. Just because the rift opened in water on one side doesn't mean it will open in water on the other. But I heaved a sigh of relief when it turned out the show was smarter than Nick and a rift opened in a residential basement.

Stephen has finally caught on that Abby has the hots for him, but Abby is still oblivious to Connor's feelings. Poor Connor. He's too nice a guy to fight for her.

I'm looking forward to seeing what Helen's up to.

Oh, Connor is definitely no ladies man, but the bumbling cuteness is adorable in the extreme. For myself, I think Abby would have to be extremely oblivious to miss to big crush. Of course, she's been so preoccupied by her unrequited lust for Stepha it might have sailed right over her head. But next week she gets to be a damsel in distress. If she's lucky she'll get to be clasped to his extremely manly chest when rescued! ;-)

And yes, Lester is such a stereotype that it is bordering on the comic, which takes away from the whole Evil Government Conspiracy drama. They need to tone him down or, hopefully, we'll start getting more of Claudia and less of Lester.

I must admit that I might be a little oblivious to the adorableness that is Connor if Stephen were in the same room in tactical gear. ::is shallow::

This show is really a whumper's dream come true so far, but I want it to be Connor's turn soon. Stephen and Nick have been whumped twice each already.

Yes, whumpage all around! Lester could stand to get his backside kicked.
