It was a real shock to be watching the show with my son, which had become somthing of a ritual, only to find out that it had been pulled!

Very disappointed. I only watched it originally because my name is Stephen Hart and having a sci-fi show where one of the characters has your name was not something I was going to miss – then a) they kill him and b) they cancel the show!

Not right – just not right. Fingers crossed the American’s will think better.

@king of the Ice Dragons,

This lack of “Bite” in the later part of the series bothered me, too. I really don’t want to see them continue this way. I miss the old team.

I’m very sorry to see the series end. It has been very entertaining. Too often the good shows end after only a few seasons. I wish there was a way to continue the series.

I enjoyed this program immensely and will miss my Friday nite commitment to the program. I typically don’t lock myself down on “tv time” but made this exception. I look forward to seeing something in the future on this in another format.

The only thing that annoyed me about the season as it unfolded was the fact that the team didn’t seem to have the same firepower this season as they had in the first two. But that, too, made for more interesting story telling in that it wasn’t always easy to get these beasts back through the anomolies as it was made to be in the first two seasons, and I’m sure a fourth season would have been great–even better as we got to know the newer characters better.

At least Warner Brothers is looking into doing a movie on the series, and the creators are still trying to shop around the idea of a new series in the US.

*Spoiler Alert*

I admit that I missed a few episodes this season, but I did enjoy those that I saw. Yes, it saddens me that it has ended and that several main characters might be forever stranded in the past. But I recall that Cutter’s portal/anomaly device, which she had accidentally dropped, might yet be found by the stranded crew members. Obviously, the cliffhanger was meant to be resolved in a tidy fashion. I am therefore convinced that our wayward time travelers will ultimately be reunited with family, friends, and cohorts and live to save the world another day. Good Luck guys, we’ll miss you!

Well that certainly sucks …. perhaps if there is enough fan outrage and mobilization we can get another season (or at least a closure movie….like we did with Farscape)

I for one loved the show … or as you Brits say, it was “brilliant”

Allo,

While I will miss Primeval I wanted to let you know that it was not BBC decision to make but ITV’s. From what I have heard and or read on this subject Primeval was an ITV property that aired on BBC America and ITV decided not to renew the series for budget reasons.

Cheers

Just a small correction and a comment…

It was ITV, not the BBC, that cancelled Primeval. There still is talk of a possible film and/or American spin-off.

My comment is that this season was actually one of the better ones. Cutter and Stephen, for all their strengths, had become flat characters, and rather grim ones at that. One of the implicit ideas of the show is that life evolves and changes. That doesn’t mean always for the better, but I find myself satisfied with the conclusion of the series. If the show is ever taken up again, I hope it will be as strong as it has been through these three series.
