As you (hopefully) all know by now, I’ve been running a readers’ survey since before Christmas to see what sort of things you guys want on this blog, partly to make sure you all have fun here but also partly to make sure I don’t die an early death from over-work and stress.
Anyway, the polls closed on Friday, the results are in and what’s going to happen next is after the jump. I was going to use charts and graphs to break it all down, but that seemed like a lot of effort and would somewhat have undermined my point about not doing too much work.

So here we are at the beginning of the episode-by-episode review of the second season of Primeval. Well, fingers crossed, assuming they prove at all popular that is. Let’s see how it works out, hey?
The great thing about time travel is that you can reboot your whole series if you don’t like it. Don’t like the fact the Chinese guy was dead or the guy off Baywatch is getting too much screen time? Hey presto, use the mighty power of the Witchblade and your entire second season can retread the same territory as the first but with a completely different set-up that you like a whole lot better.
And so goes Primeval. Got a bigger budget but don’t want to explain why you’ve had to change your HQ to a great big sci-fi base? Think your hero’s love interest is a bit wet and pathetic? Think that the young guy is a bit of a twat? Hey presto, through the mighty power of the “anomalies” (which is actually an anagram of “script writers”. In Croatian. Honest), you can change everything in a couple of minutes in between seasons and everyone will just accept it. Or maybe they won’t. Perhaps we shouldn’t be so radical, huh? Let’s keep the young guy as a complete twat.
