The central storyline of this year’s Primeval enters its final phase, with an unmistakable example of the species “first half of climactic two-parter”. Dinosaurs are running loose, including the first T-Rex for some time, and, yes, Evil Philip Burton’s masterplan reaches its zenith. So will he … [Read more...]

Primeval: Series 5, Episode 4 – Dork Review
For the whole of series four and five (which, to be honest, are a single thirteen-episode run), Primeval has been drawing out a storyline involving the clearly evil scientist Philip Burton and whether he is evil. Well, this week they’re finally ready to talk about it. So will this be long-awaited … [Read more...]
Primeval: Series 5, Episode 3 – Dork Review
So, in last week’s review of Primeval, I was pleased they still referenced the Emily character, since I liked her and thought it was a shame she was written out last series. I should have realised, with the level of subtlety Primeval operates at, the casual mention meant we’d be seeing her shortly. … [Read more...]
X-Men: First Class – Dork Review
After the twin terrors of X-Men: The Last Stand and X-Men Origins: Wolverine, the Marvel mutants turn to their “How to continue your sputtering franchise” guidebook and bring out a prequel. But, wisely, instead of banging it out on a budget, they’ve brought in director Matthew Vaughn and writer Jane … [Read more...]
Doctor Who: A Good Man Goes To War – Dork Review
This is the mid-series finale of Doctor Who. Promising us a resolution to last week’s uber-cliffhanger, not to mention the River Song mystery that has run for literally years, it would be helpful if this was brilliant, wouldn’t it? After teasing us with subplots for so many weeks, neutering the … [Read more...]
Primeval: Series 5, Episode 2 review
This week, after a surprisingly reasonable series premiere, Primeval heads underwater for a claustrophobic showdown with both the usual dinosaurs and, surprisingly, the fear and intolerance of humanity as well. A thematic crossover with the most recent episode of Doctor Who? And was it any good? … [Read more...]
Doctor Who: The Almost People – Dork Review
In the second part of Doctor Who’s putty-kneading adventure, our hero must persuade the nasty humans to make nice with a bunch of (doppel)gangers, including one of himself. This show doesn’t paint a nice picture of our species, does it? I’ve read the Daily Mail, I know some people suck, but … [Read more...]
Primeval: Series 5, Episode 1 – Dork Review
The dinosaur-chasing saps of Primeval return, having stepped through one of their own anomalies (perhaps) to end up on Watch, rather than their usual ITV. So has their move to the lower end of the freeview spectrum left their budget gutted and the whole show in tatters, or is it business as usual … [Read more...]
Doctor Who: The Rebel Flesh – Dork Review
After last week’s loving homage to the hero’s habit of talking to his car, this week Doctor Who gets back to basics and brings us a proper adventure. You guessed it, the cast run around an abandoned building in Wales with some people in prosthetics chasing them. It’s the first of a two-parter, so … [Read more...]
Doctor Who: The Doctor’s Wife – Dork Review
Last night’s Doctor Who featured a famous face: noted fantasy writer Neil Gaiman, of Sandman, American Gods and Stardust fame. Well, it didn’t feature his actual face, although you can see that in Doctor Who Confidential. But still, he wrote the episode, which is exciting for dorks everywhere. So … [Read more...]
