PRIMEVAL, 5.6: tomorrow's world


This was easily the best episode of series 5 and possibly Primeval's most satisfying finale yet, despite the story feeling stretched to twice its natural length. Steve Bailie and co-creator Adrian Hodges are two of the show's best writers, and you can usually expect an increase in quality for the episodes they're behind. This was certainly the case here, as the finale delivered the action and jeopardy you demand of a monster-hunt show like Primeval, but also reduced the idiocy, delivered a few scenes of real emotion, and restored something the show lost this series: camaraderie between the characters.

Connor (Andrew Lee Potts) was last seen vanishing into Philip's (Alexander Siddig) super-anomaly, appearing in a barren future-Earth contaminated with a thin, noxious atmosphere, pummeled by erratic storms, and crawling with mutated Future Predators. Matt (Ciaran McMenemin) opted to go through the anomaly to rescue Connor, later joined by a gun-toting Abby (Hannah Spearritt), giving them both first-hand experience of his home: the dystopia Philip's "New Dawn" project is destined to cause. Back in the present, egomaniac Philip began to lose control of his man-made anomaly as it started to grow exponentially, eventually causing a bizarre atmospheric change in the skies above his facility, and a vicious Future Predator appeared in ARC for Lester (Ben Miller) and Jess (Ruth Kearney) to contend with.

There was a great deal to enjoy here, surprisingly, forgiving the fact Primeval lacks the budget to do a few ideas full justice—like the trip to the future. More importantly, I was surprised to see a genuinely good performance from Spearritt (her tearful reunion with Connor in an underground bunker was possibly the actress's best moment on this show), and even the terribly dry relationship between Emily (Ruth Bradley) and Matt was given some spice when Matt decided to sacrifice himself by altering history and potentially erasing his own timeline. The show works better, dramatically, when it’s less about wandering around trying to capture CGI monsters (that the actors can't see) and more about the characters facing things that test themselves. Siddig also looked more comfortable somehow, finally given a script that gave him something to play—as Philip realized the error of his ways and sacrificed himself to try and reverse the damage he's caused.

It's also worth mentioning the direction of Cilla Ware, who pulled off some decent sequences this week—in particular, there was a lovely shot when the camera pulled back from Lester and Jess to reveal the snarling jaws of a Future Predator before it started to prowl the ARC. Never underestimate how much a good camera move or choreographed action sequence can boost a show like Primeval, which demands a level of care and attention it rarely receives. The effects sequences of the intensifying super-anomaly, causing bizarre cloud formations and dragging entire buildings into its twinkling heart, were also notable highlights from a visual standpoint.

The story was largely unsurprising and could have ended a good half-hour early with some trimming, but overall series 5's finale was a great deal more exciting and watchable than every episode that's preceded it this year. I'm not sure what to make of the last-minute twist, however, when Matt encountered a bloodied doppelganger of himself in a darkened corridor who implored him to "go back". Primeval just broke a time-travel rule it established in series 1's finale (when meddling with history had an immediate effect on the present-day, and didn't result in an alternate timeline), so are we to assume there are two timelines now vying for existence? It doesn't make much sense right now, and to be honest I don't expect to provide a solid explanation from a show like Primeval, but I'm sure fans are just happy the ending suggests the writers expect to be recommissioned.

Whether the show deserves to come back after this frustratingly limp series is another matter.

Asides

  • I never did understand Helen Cutter's motivations, or have forgotten whatever we learned over three years, so WHY did she manipulate Philip into causing the end of the world with his New Dawn project? How is causing the apocalypse in her interest?
  • I seem to always mention this whenever the Future Predators make an appearance on the show, but they really are a great creature design. If you enlarged them, you almost end up with the Cloverfield monster, a good few years before that Lovecraft-inspired beast was conceived. The mutated versions here were perhaps even creepier because they sometimes moved around with a more human posture.

Chinese Telecom Company Huawei will check all telecom equipments for spyware in India for the India MOU signed between Huawei and IISC Bangalore

Chinese Telecom Company Huawei will check all telecom equipments
for spyware in India for the India MOU signed between
Huawei and IISC Bangalore

Huawei Technologies is a Chinese company based in Shenzhen
Ren Zhengfei, a former soldier who worked for 10 years in China’s Army Engineering Corps, founded Huawei as a reseller of telecommunications equipment in 1988.
Huawei is the largest networking and telecommunications equipment supplier in China


Huawei has 17 research centers around the world, including in Dallas, Moscow and Bangalore, India, and most recently in Santa Clara.
In May, Huawei opened a stunning $340 million research center in Shanghai

Huawei is now the world’s second-largest telecom equipment supplier behind Ericsson of Sweden, and with Chinese government backing, it has sewn up major deals in Asia, Africa and Latin America.
In Europe, Huawei has outmaneuvered Ericsson to supply equipment to big carriers.

In 2008 Huawei tried to buy 3COM, Motorola and 2wire but both attempts failed.
Media has reported that American government will never allow those deals thus both attempts failed.

Even Many American politicians are afraid of Huawei because of security reasons.
In past Huawei has supplied communications equipment to Iran and Iraq during Saddam Hussein’s regime, possibly in violation of United Nations sanctions.

Now this shows that Huawei is very powerful telecom company and to control them is very difficult.

Media has reported that Huawei receives subsidies from Chinese government.

In 1999 Huawei set up its Research and development centre in Bangalore.

In 2005, India had blocked Huawei from supplying equipment to India's national network, BSNL.

in 2010 the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) had insisted on canceling the rest of the Huawei contract with BSNL and questioned the dubious links of several top BSNL officers with Chinese firms.

Furthermore security agencies found that part of Huawei's Bangalore R&D office building was off limits to Indians.

Earlier, the Indian government had banned telecom equipment from Chinese manufacturers like Huawei suspecting spy software embedded in the gadgets.

Currently 80% telecom equipment in India is imported.
the Department of Telecommunications has decided to develop a safety certification regime for all imported equipments because of security reasons as malware and spyware may come with them thus enabling the enemy or people or group or countries who think bad about India to disturb Indian telecom sector or tap the phone etc.

Currently No Indian company in India is capable to do this Job if its capable they should declare it that way.
Still you think India is going to become Super Power?

Now Indian Government has decided that selected Chinese company Huawei
to help India find out spy software hidden in imported telecom equipments.

the Department of Telecommunications (DoT) and the home ministry have sanctioned a project to develop a safety certification regime for all imported telecommunications equipments and an agreement has been signed by the Indian Institute of Science (IISc) and China’s Huawei Technologies.
On June 15 IISC and Huawei signed MOU.
MOU signed between the two is more like a NON-DISCLOSURE-AGREEMENT so that the information that IISc gets from Huawei is not disclosed to others.
"A Chinese firm being allowed to tie up with the Bangalore-based Indian Institute of Science (IISc) for testing imported telecom gear shows that India has no foreign policy.

China's Huawei Technologies will work with the Indian Institute of Science (IISc) to test all imported mobile handsets and equipment for built-in malicious software.
The company will become the entry point for all the imported telecom equipments.
The company will provide "documentation, expertise, methods and standards for studying telecom equipment".
The company will assist Indian agencies in scrutinizing their equipment by providing data starting from manuals and extending to source codes.

To test all the telecom hardware manufactured world over the Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore will set up a lab at an estimated cost of Rs. 60 Crore (Rs. 600 million) of which Rs. 50 Crore (Rs. 500 million) would be funded by the government.

Let us hope that Indian government has taken full precautions while signing MOU with Chinese company Huawei will not allow backdoor entry to Chinese government.

Why No Indian company is capable to do this job?

How to take a walk

I take a lot of walks, Venkatesh Rao writes.In my 13 years of taking walks in the United States, I could remember only ever seeing one native-born American taking a walk. All other examples I could remember were clearly immigrants. Middle-aged eastern European matrons strolling. Old Chinese men walking slowly with their hands behind their backs. Even elderly Americans don’t seem to take walks

電玩遊戲中的角色跑到現實生活中一較高下,你來我往難分軒輊,劇情緊張得讓人目不轉睛。仔細一看,後頭的紙箱上竟然有「台灣製造」四個大字!原來這是一名從未接觸過電影製作的網友黃興良,花上2個多月時間用1萬張照片完成的停格動畫,影片一上傳,引起網友瘋狂轉載,就連國外知名雜誌也找上門,給予實質贊助,鼓勵他繼續創作優質影片。

影片《世界毀滅者》,上傳不到兩天,已有1萬5千多人點閱。影片中,男主角克勞德「Cloud」、女主角艾莉斯「Aerith」與反派角色賽飛羅斯「Sephiroth」展開生死對決,三人就在貼有「台灣製造」的佈景前揮劍互擊,還要閃躲對方威力強大的法術攻擊。克勞德在目睹同伴陣亡後,使出渾身解數猛攻賽飛羅斯,賽飛羅斯因承受不了強大攻勢,不慎露出破綻遭克勞德擊敗,令這場決鬥分出最終勝負。

網友看過後,稱其為「台灣之光」;還有人留言說:「動畫做得這麼好,老闆會不會擔心你改行」,對於網友的關心,黃興良接受採訪時表示不會考慮轉職,最初製作動畫只是興趣所在,沒想到會引來網友好評,才又陸續創作了20支停格動畫。而為了行銷台灣,才會在片中設計寫有「台灣製造」字樣的場景,讓國際間的網友能夠認識台灣;另一方面也是替影片打上「正字標記」,讓人無法盜版。

提及拍攝影片的經驗,黃興良表示因為主角都是公仔,可以省去不少溝通困難,也能盡情發揮天馬行空的創意;但相對的,迷你版的主角也增加了取景的困難度,某些鏡頭還需動用黏土、衣架固定相機才能拍攝。他也坦言因為拍攝器材不足,某些時候動畫會較不流暢,希望將來能獲得器材補助,改善拍攝方面的問題。目前,黃興良已擬訂後續的拍攝計畫,更透露將會跟台灣網路名人合作拍片,未來也希望能自創角色拍攝影片,繼續為台灣爭光。
