Given The viewers Primeval has been raking in for ITV why delay the last episode?? It has ramped up a following second only to "Doctor Who" and has Kicked "Robin Hood's" backside whenever they clash. The Introduction of new characters and the removal of old has been dealt with very well and it is attracting a good calibre of replacements. Now a US spin-off is mooted along with a Film. So long as they keep the "play book" and run with it it looks like being the most successful ITV drama show for a long while.

what happened after the artifact was taken with the bird with the hologram disguise?

She headed to the other birds HQ and jumped thru the anomaly she had back to the future

what was the artifact?

A Map of the anomalies

where did the bird get that device which opens portals?

Helen Cutter would have found it in the future. She has been moving thru the anomalies at will since season one

who has been replaced?

Nick Cutter,(Douglas Henshall) was killed by Helen two episodes back. As such Danny Quinn played by Jason Fleming Replaced him. Laila Rouass has joined as Sarah Page and Claudia Brown/Jenny Lewis(Lucy Brown) Left after Cutter was killed.

I got up to were a character went through the portal with dodgy bird and then the portal disappeared, reopened and she jumped back through to be clawed back via an animal.

What have I missed?
A lot by the sound of it!! The animal is a "future Predator" that was introduced in Season two. Vicious and deadly. The Character was the Head of a rival to the ARC or "Anamoly Research Centre" trying to use the anomalies for military purposes. Helen Cutter identified her as the "trigger" to the disaster that leads to the desolate future earth. Rather gutting as She thought it was Nick Cutter so killed him.

There is a Hollywood Movie in development as well as a US spin off. The way that time operates in "Primeval" also means that the previously "lost" characters could be retrieved. This has already been done by Helen Cutter with Sciswell who is her "foot" soldier. He appears several times in the current series and he appears to have been "cloned". It isn't clear whether this is due to Biological cloning or He has been taken from the time line several times.

Good end to the series finally!!! Helen's plans thwarted, Connor and Abbey have a way out and hopefully so does Danny. However Helen did manage to kill some of the ancestors so how will that leave the Future???

Plot developments this year. Due to Other commitments Jason Flyming wasn't able to do all the episodes but could do three. Hence Danny will return. Sarah was killed trying to find Connor, Abby and Danny "In between" the seasons. Claudia/Jenny is returning and, going right back to season one, the surviving University "buddy" of Connor's is to appear again.

I'm quite liking it. The extras are a bit sparse but they are building a "canon" and not "losing" characters. Instaead "old" characters are part of the current story but not dependant on it.
