Primeval/YMMV


 * And the Fandom Rejoiced
 * Upon hearing of the show being renewed for two more series.
 * Usually with Abby and Connor getting a relationship upgrade of some sort, in episode 8 of Series 3 and the finale of Series 5
 * Complete Monster -.
 * Crowning Moment of Awesome - A lot. A fan favourite is when Lester
 * Crowning Moment of Funny - Oh, so many.
 * Crowning Moment of Heartwarming -
 * Crowning Music of Awesome: - Nick and Stephen playing tag with a raptor on motorbikes to the tune of Ready to Go by Republica.
 * Ensemble Darkhorse - Lester.
 * Evil Is Sexy - Helen.
 * Fanon - A surprising number of people believe that Jess is either Lester's daughter or his niece.
 * Foe Yay
 * Helen lives and breathes this trope
 * The relationship between Lester and Christine Johnson. They used to be married in real life.


 * Germans Love David Hasselhoff: The show is much, much better known in America than in its native Britain.
 * Hell Is That Noise - In the series 1 finale, the team carry an oscilloscope which can detect the high frequency calls made by the bat-like future predators. Whenever it starts to bleep, you know you're in trouble!
 * High Octane Nightmare Fuel
 * Any and all appearances of the future predators. They've done a very good job of avoiding Villain Decay, despite the fact that they're clearly not impossible to kill.
 * Pretty much any creature qualifies for either this or regular Nightmare Fuel for someone.
 * Ho Yay - Nick and Stephen are pretty well suited for this.
 * Monochrome Casting - Until Sarah, and then again after her.
 * Moral Event Horizon
 * Helen takes a flying leap over the Horizon earlier on, when
 * Narm: In the last episode, Matt says "Nothing can survive out there, except for those ugly freaks".
 * Matt's fight with the tree creeper in the Cretaceous was also pretty silly.
 * Seasonal Rot: Series 3, 4 and 5 tend to get pretty mixed reactions, with the two former series taking most of the blow.
 * The Scrappy - Matt (with a side order of Creator's Pet), half an hour into the first episode of the Revival and he already is hated by some for being a smug git. Then again, his background is both false and was created specifically to appeal to the ARC recruiters, so he's supposed to seem like a Creator's Pet.
 * Too Dumb to Live: A woman who raised a Smilodon and thought it'd think of her as its mother and thus wouldn't attack her. She was very wrong.
 * Ugly Cute: The baby future critters at the end of S1.
 * Visual Effects of Awesome - The effects are by Impossible Pictures (and Framestore). This is to be expected.
 * Wham Episode
 * The end of Season 1, where Nick gets back from the past and finds Claudia has been Retgoned.
 * Even moreso Episode 3.3, where Nick.
 * What an Idiot!: the Future Predator that Leek
 * The Woobie
 * After losing Danny, Connor, Abby and then Sarah, whilst on a mission to rescue the former three, Becker certainly qualifies for this. He's practically in tears in the first episode of the extras on ITV's website.
 * Connor and Abby after their year in the Cretaceous.
 * Connor and Abby after their year in the Cretaceous.
