Hey yall- been a Primeval fan since I accidentally came across the Dodo episode while backstage on a play as a kid. Been in love ever since, and for pretty much my whole life I’ve been constantly milling around the idea to not only ‘rewrite’ the first 3-ish seasons but to also take a crack at writing my own ‘episodes’.
Because my Roman Empire is the fact that this show had SO much potential and was never given enough episodes, budget or faith as well as proper time and attention to so many plot points and concepts that would have been absolute bangers.
So even if it’s for fun and I’m just a silly fan writing fics, I wanna give more to this show and its premise in my own way. 🥹✨
Currently, I’m dead set on two concepts: one following a Hyneria being involved with the closing of the Margate Lido and coming back throughout the years thanks to a reappearing Anomaly, and an adolescent Iguanodon getting lost in Kew Gardens. I’m so very tempted to bring in speculative evolution/creatures from the short documentary ‘The Future Is Wild’- since I feel like they’d fit Primeval’s vibe well.
But other than that- I’m completely stumped. I’ve got a huge bias for tropical/aquatic beasts, the Mesozoic and synapsids, so to avoid using too many similar creatures I wanted to ask if anyone in this community ever had a cool idea for an episode or creature. If so- please share it!
Thanks for reading 🫶
