Primeval/Tear Jerker


Examples of Tear Jerkers in Primeval include:

  • Stephen's Heroic Sacrifice in the season 2 finale.
  • Shortly thereafter, Cutter's death during season 3, particularly his last words. This soon prompted the real heartbreak of Jenny leaving the Arc, closing the chapter for good on Cutter and Claudia/Jenny.
  • Nick's death in the third episode of the latest[when?] season.
    • The first few minutes of the following episode managed to be Tear Jerkers without even doing anything at all. Just the whole mood of the characters and the ARC was able to convey how upset and lost everyone was without him.
  • In Season 2, during Abby's Disney Death. The worst part is seeing Plucky Comic Relief Connor absolutely destroyed by it.

Connor: [fighting desperately not to cry] "We can just go out there and we can find her! All we need to do is get back in the boats and do something; why is nobody doing anything!?"

  • In the final scene of the Season 4 premiere, Connor wakes up to find Abby already up. He correctly deduces that she's still used to keeping watch from when they were stuck in the Cretaceous. That fact just hammers home the absolute hell those two went through.
