Line 14:
** Helen lives and breathes this trope
** The relationship between Lester and Christine Johnson. [[Real Life Relative|They used to be married in real life]].
<!-- %% -->
<!-- %%Fridge belongs on its own tab -->
<!-- %% -->
* [[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!
Line 23 ⟶ 20:
** 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 [[Dropped a Bridge Onon Him|after her]].
* [[Moral Event Horizon]]
** {{spoiler|Helen plans to wipe out humanity before it starts}}.
Line 30 ⟶ 27:
** 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 [[CreatorsCreator'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 [[CreatorsCreator'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 [[Walking Withwith Dinosaurs|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 [[Ret -Gone|Retgoned]].
** Even moreso Episode 3.3, where Nick {{spoiler|is murdered}}.
* [[What an Idiot!]]: the Future Predator that Leek {{spoiler|sends after Lester. Whilst Lester walks, confused, slowly, unaware, down an exposed pathway, it does nothing except make scary noises. This costs it its life.}}
* [[The Woobie]]
** After losing Danny, Connor, Abby and then [[It Got Worse|Sarah, whilst on a mission to rescue the former three]], [[Survivor Guilt|Becker]] certainly qualifies for this. He's practically in ''tears'' in the first episode of the extras on ITV's website.
