Sadly I was working the night that the second series first aired and I have only recently had time to see this ‘dummies guide on how to make a bad sci-fi drama.’ And it has made me sad, here are some of the reasons.

If you are going to place a character in an alternate world, DO NOT make the alternate world cooler than the one he just came from. The audience just wont care if he goes back or not.
Make sure a story makes sense, when we are brought into ‘the ark’ we see a team of army type people, why on earth then if there is a Velociraptor in a shopping centre do you send in three scientists and an undergrad? Surley the nice army men would have been better suited.
I dont think I have watched a less ethnically diverse show since the 1960′s

I was so prepared to like Primeval. Unfortunately I fear I will only be watching it again so as to have some ammunition to take the piss out of it.
I know it has an extensive and loyal fanbase but in comparison with the other ‘first of second season’ episode we’ve had in the week, well, there simply isn’t one.
Continuity, continuity, continuity Primeval writers. Please.

where is this is extensive and loyal fanbase?

I believe they are currently all hiding from the public eye and blogging about how raptors ARE like spiders. The rest of the world is just wrong.

I cant wait to meet one in the street and explain to them that raptors do not have spikes that flick up in the style of sonic the hedgehog and then see how confused they get when i try and explain how wrong the time line does not make any sense and that no one cares. Not even their mothers.
