Spoilers: Um... S5E6 spoiler speculation? LOL Yeah, probably not the best idea to read if you're not into reading the spoilers and then creating wide range ideas based of miniscule points of refference.
Disclaimer: I obviously do not own Primeval; I just like to borrow the characters and mutate their inner voices a little. Please don't sue: my house is small, my car is useless, and my dogs are pains in the arse, but they're all I have.
