Primeval 3.7
I rather liked this one. It was silly, but then this series of Primeval is silly. I thought Becker and Abby were the only people showing sense, until the end, when Connor actually showed a bit of common for once, and I liked his recruitment of Becker and the boys to get Rex back.
A lot of people seem to have thought Sarah was rather good this episode, while I thought she was dreadful. Putting on some (highly inappropriate) clothes and trolling off into the past was plain bats, while if she had not had the scriptwriter on her side she would not have been able to talk to anyone - the Latin bits were great but then it was all modern English which was as wrong as the horse and the costuming and the weapons and the fighting and... but why go on? Someone of her skin tone was likely to have been killed out of hand, probably being mistaken for a Saracen. (Though what period this was supposed to be was never very clear.) And what did she find out? Nothing that could not, apparently, have been deduced from that bit of gravestone she picked up.
As for her yelling "stop!" and "Don't kill him" and whatever, in modern English and expecting it to make a difference... oh, pull the other one, scriptwriter!
However, the bits with Sir William trolling about London and the sequence in the car park were hilarious, and Abby was awesome.
