American Idol has its final two, and they are the youngest finalists in the show’s history. Congratulations, teenage voters and old people with bad taste: You have given us a country music-heavy finale and two finalists with the stage presence of paper bags.

January 22nd, 2011 by gerard. No comments Well, that’s a bit more like it, Primeval. Tonight’s episode delivers a much improved blend of action and story progression. OK, Connor and Abby get sent off on yet another chase-the-reptile mission. Except this time it’s in a thinly-veiled Royston Vasey with a terrifying beastie that likes to eat geeky campers. Amazingly, Connor and Abby spend less time fighting the monster than they do trying to escape from the creepy villagers. It turns out, in a moralistic twist, that the anomaly the dinosaurs came through is being affected…by a bootleg diesel operation in an old farmhouse. This part of the episode brought some interesting ideas through – Abby got to joyride around in a camper van with a creature that was trying to eat her (which sounds quite Scooby Doo actually).
