Primeval: Series 3 - Episode 3 - Professor Nick Cutter's Death (2009) 

Agreed it’s a shame the show sort of lost focus after Cutter died I was disappointed ☹️ and sad but it’s a well directed scene but very ill timed

@@MrTardis11 To me Primeval died with Professor Nick Cutter.

I disagree with you both. I thought Primeval got better with he die.

I disagree. Primeval never die when Nick die.

Notice how this show never let a character have a happy ending well Connor and Abby did.

Your forgetting stephen

@@slankerwanker1714 “Tell Claudia Brown… the show will get canceled without me…”

He was my favourite too I watched this when I was a young child and cried when he died

Me too 😏

We all were.

Cutter was best. 😢😢

No was, is ...

I wasn’t ok with this

At least they didnt kill connor

@That Lad Fortunately.

That Lad Connor should have die back in series 1 because he been near death quite a couple times in this show but he survived. That why I think he was the greatest one out of all of them in the team.

Yes. Despite their arguments. James Lester respected Nick Cutter as leader of the team. Why he took his time to find a new leader. Because no one can truly replace him. Because he's the reason why they know what they know.

And also passing the torch of the main character on. After this point, it was kind of the Connor and Abby show. I mean, we followed them a lot, for the most part, but it always felt like Cutter was the main focus.

0:03 Claudia Brown still lives...

ProfiYntroz no that’s Jenny Lewis

@Muhammad Lo yes, that is Jenny... Jenny Lewis Claudia Brown

@Muhammad Lo Technically she does but when they changed the timeline she was a completely different person.

Claudia Brown and Jenny were same person. But after the anomaly to where Captain Ryan died. Something went wrong causing Jenny to be there and Claudia never existed

And how about Stephen's?

Awesome Productions to me Stephen was kinda bland as a character, but i must say the way he went was gruesome way to go.

I thought Captain Ryan's death was really sad. I loved him and Cutter's respect for each other and the twist with him seeing his own corpse was heartbreaking.

I think it’s down to Andrew-Lee, he’s really good at acting upset

Who's Tom?

He kinda was the key character after this. Maybe not the team leader but hell he was important.

The thing is if they chose Connor, they would of done the same thing, find a way to kill off the main character

Sharkdiver345 that's y the show got canceled cause of low reviews

I love Matt, he's awesome. Douglas Henshall shouldn't have left so early.

I felt the same way. After Cutter’s death the show just wasn’t the same. Out of everyone he was the Main Main character and without him it just was hard to watch it go on

Why did cut went

@@tommystudiotomdunn4506 Douglas Henshall his actor didnt want to be in the show anymore. Probably given the show was always on the edge of cancellation every season though thats just what i believe. But i definetly know he was written out cause Douglas didnt want to do it anymore.

Danny was gonna come back. The only reason he left was because the actor who played him was filming x-men at the time Primeval was filming series 4 and 5 so he could not come back for them but if the show did more series he would have come back.

Tbh I want to learn Directing and shit to hopefully buy Primeval and make a film out of it with the original writers and the cast from the new seasons, but I doubt I’d be good at it

@@jedininja3016 I saw an interview with Henshall, he said he felt cutter’s time was up & wanted to see the show move on & developed without him

If only the homework was to analyse the major character deaths of Primeval.

If only all homework was like that

There was actually some writing in the Primeval novel, The Lost Island, hat shone just a bit more light on this dynamic they had! “The entrance to the base was a slaughterhouse… …For the first time, he believed they might all truly be dead. He hadn’t allowed himself to think it before- Cutter, that arrogant ass, always seemed so indestructible. But now the possibility was very real.” -The Lost Island, ch 20.

for Info Nick cutter is not a paleontologist but a Professor but I see what you mean, even after his death he is still my favorite character

I agree. I liked the episodes that follow from this, but the series wasn't as good after this.

The show was kind of stupid without him. If you were going to kill him. At least let him see his work til the end.

I liked that the series showed you can carry on even if a leader dies, it encourages you to carry on and keep fighting.

Apparently the actor wanted to leave. Which sucks because imagine him against Helen at the end

well, he went from just a functional person without interest and who is despised to a real leader who takes care of the safety of his team and is involved

Sarah Page 🪦

Helen Cutter

Always gets me every time. 😢

I totally agree with you, but it’s just the show didn’t feel the same after cutter left

I love Matt, he was one of my favourite characters.

@@llocinema Yea true, series 4 and 5 felt a little different but they were def not bad (Tho series 3 is prob m fav)

@@deanwicks1278 Yea Matt was a really good character, wasn't my favourite but out of the new members (Matt, Jess, and Emily) he is def one of the best

@@Louis-vv7eb I agree and S3 was my favourite series too, it had so much great action and I honestly thought Danny was a breath of fresh air, he injected so much life into the show.

The actor Douglas Henshall originally liked the show’s premise (as he loved dinosaurs himself as a kid), but he felt the show became repetitive with each monster every week during season 2, and decided to move on to other projects. It’s kinda sad because he said one of his best filming moments was the first episode of series 3. But he did like his time in Primeval (as shown in some making videos).

Danny remains acceptable and nice but he is not better than Nick, it is especially Matt the black point

​@@remynatorrr5011 I have to disagree. I actually think Danny is one of the worst characters in Primeval. He's reckless, cocky,, completely ignorant/incurious about the creatures and does not learn anything or grow as a person. And ultimately, HE is the reason why the team gets trapped in the past at the end of Series 3 because he chose to disobey Lester's orders and break Eve/Helen out of Johnson's HQ. Yes, I know people like him because he's an 'action man', but that does not make him a good character. Matt isn't perfect, but he is objectively a better leader than Danny. He's far less reckless, he takes responsibility for the team (I never noticed him using Connor as terror bird bait) and he actually understands something about the creatures they're dealing with. Also, unlike Danny, he actually has a character arc in that he learns to open up to other people and accept love and help from them.

@@wildtom3076 I really liked Danny obviously not as much as nick but he was still great it just went downhill with matt

​@@harryvideoz8863 Do you like Danny because you thought he was cool as a kid? Or do you like him because, in hindsight, you still consider him a well-written and compelling character? Because I genuinely struggle to see how anyone could make a compelling argument for the latter. I know a lot of Danny fans like him for being a (debatably) cool action man who cracks snarky one-liners. But once you look beyond that, there’s really not a lot he has going for him. He’s cocky, reckless, pretty disrespectful to the other characters sometimes (he refuses to apologise for wrongfully arresting Connor even when confronted about it) and really doesn’t seem to care about the creatures beyond beating them up. This wouldn’t be such a problem if he at least showed meaningful development as a character, but he doesn’t. He starts off as an abrasive, cocky dickhead and ends as a very slightly less abrasive, cocky dickhead. Also, when you think about it, it’s actually his fault that he, Abby and Connor were stranded in the past. If he hadn’t disobeyed Lester’s orders to not break Eve/Helen out of Johnson’s base, Helen could never have stolen the artefact and there’d have been no need to chase her through the anomalies. Becker wouldn’t have had to stage rescue missions to find them and Sarah wouldn’t have been killed. In fact, if it wasn’t for a raptor coincidentally attacking her, Helen could very well have succeeded in wiping out humanity, all because of Danny. Conversely, I really don’t understand the anti-Matt sentiment. He’s a much more responsible, sympathetic and qualified team leader, and he actually has a character arc in that he learns to open up to other people as the show goes on. So far as I can tell, the real reason why people don’t like Matt is essentially because he’s not Danny Quinn, which is a good thing!

would’ve been great but the actor wanted to leave, and after the relocation of set after season 3 the show was pretty much ruined for me in season 4

@@Skriptts I am awear of that, and I think it establishes how lacking the characters that made the show interesting in the first place makes the later Series far less interesting.

season 4 felt more like a soft reboot, especially with the irish cast, felt way too different i think thats what throws it off, it wasnt a very smooth transition. If they couldnt of kept what they had season 3 wouldve had a good cliffhanger to keep for awhile. or wait until they can keep their cast for a return and set, not revam the whole program. imo ^^

@@Skriptts I was very upset myself at how Danny only returned for 1 more episode, and Sarah Page was killed offscreen. Between the 2, I prefer Season 4 a bit more only because at least it had Danny for 1 appearance, and it had a decent set of cool creatures for ARC to face. Season 5 was worse because it didn't even present any interesting creatures. They all were either ones we've seen before or looked a lot like ones we saw before. Plus that cliffhanger ending I felt was very unnecessary. Much like how I would enjoy Season 3 more if Cutter stayed at least till it's finale, I would’ve liked Season 4 & 5 more if Jenny's gradual shift of mourning Cutter's loss and moving was fleshed out over 7 episodes instead of just 2. And that the storyarc with Danny & Patrick wasn't crammed in to 1 episode, instead was fleshed out for at least half of that Season.

If I remember correctly, she dies in between Series 3 and 4 in an attempt to rescue Danny, Connor and Abby

Evan Kirincich she got killed by a Future predator

She died offscreen as the actress didnt want to return.

It was the actors.

Actor wanted out

The UK Series ended after Series 5 due to bad reviews so there is no Series 6. Primeval: New World is the American Spin off show I’ve never seen it but apparently it’s 13 episodes

Primeval new world is a sort of a continuation of primeval just not has good

The characters in new world were fucking annoying
