Primeval

This surprised me by being a lot better than I'd expected. The characters all seem to be acting intelligently and actually sound like they really are experts in their field. (Can they avoid the usual problems of all scientists gaining tehcnobabble skills in twenty different fields?)

The military character was intelligent too. I was impressed by his method of getting the obsessed scientist to return with him - showed an understanding of psychology.

The CGI is excellent. I was particularly impressed with the dinosaur treading on things as it went down a corridor. (though there was one point when the scale felt slightly wrong)

This has the potential to come out a little bit like Stargate - I wonder if they can keep the character specialities relevant to the storyline? I hope so. It would be nice to see biology skills made use of for once.

If you didn't see it, it may be worth trying to download the first episode as I don't think there's a repeat.
