Episode 15: Enemy of My Enemy March 5, 2014


OK This show just gets better and better. I hope it gets picked up for Season Two. If you are behind WATCH NOW and catch up ... SPOILER ALERT BELOW...





Classic!!! When hero avoids responsibility, bad things happen. We have two heroes in Stephen and John. Cara is more die hard encampment military leader than hero, right. But John painting the town red with Astrid leads to the tomorrow People being vulnerable. And when Charlotte goes looking for John, all are exposed wide open.

Julian is back. Are not most characters named Julian bound to be bad? Jedikiah implants a bomb in Julian's head. Find Tomorrow People or die trying. So as the title lends it's name, two enemies align for a common cause. But Julian is not to be trusted. Show down at the OK Corral is replaced by Showdown at the local Grocery Store after hours. Stephen is fooling no one though when he secretly stops Julian from killing Cara.

Julian instead captures Charlotte, mentally tortures with telepathy, learns the TP hang out (Love typing those words TP hang out LOL) and takes Kill squad...

But TPs get the upper hand. AND BOOM!!! No more Julian. OUCH. Wonder who has to clean that up... Hey Charlotte, now that we have saved you twice now... Grab a mop!!!




Episode 14: Brother's Keeper February 26, 2014


Jedikiah is getting dark. Mom is empowered yet still cautious. John is playing domestic. Cara is pissed by and pissing off all.

With the teams on both sides in fighting, Stephen is set to steal the show and save all...

From imdb
After getting some shocking news, Stephen attempts to restore order in both his worlds by making a deal with Jedikiah. With a new break-out on the loose, Cara and Russell try to lure him in but must contend with a trap from Ultra. Meanwhile, Jedikiah is closer to developing a new secret technology that could change his future.

From wiki...
After recent events Jedikiah makes a deal with Stephen so that he can keep working at Ultra. Steven, unimpressed with Cara's recent action, invites John to stay at his house after Cara had expelled him from the lair. What seems to be a Tomorrow Person with the ability to kill turns out to a twin hit squad, one human and the other a Tomorrow Person. Jedekiah wants to get his hands on the both of them to conduct a dangerous experiment in the transference of the ability of homo superior to homo sapiens. It doesn't go the way as planned after Cara arms one of them in an attempt to assassinate Jedikiah once and for all. Disappointed Cara would go as far to hire an assassin, John declines her offer to return under the impression that she wants another assassin at her call. Marla and Stephen come to an understanding about their situation. Jedikiah unbeknownst to anyone else has the body of his Brother Roger and seems to be working at an agenda which may or may not solely be his alone

Original John from BBC Tomorrow People (1973-1979) appearsin New production



Educated at preparatory school followed by The Corona Stage School, Nicholas Young was already in his early 20s when he auditioned for the role of "John" in The Tomorrow People (1973). Prior to landing the role, he appeared in The Children's Film Foundation production Eagle Rock (1964), the little-remembered television series The Flying Swan (1965) and Front Page Story (1965), Upstairs, Downstairs (1971) and a number of one-off television plays including The Wednesday Play: The Connoisseur (1966), directed by Waris Hussein (whose credits include the first ever Doctor Who).

In addition, while working on The Tomorrow People he featured in the two-part Space: 1999 (1975) story The Bringers of Wonder (the first broadcast on August 4, 1977) as Peter Rockwell, and, in the same year, played alongside Jon Pertwee (the 3rd incarnation of Doctor Who) as a young gangster called Legs Luigi in the film Adventures of a Private Eye (1977).

Young was the only cast member to stay with The Tomorrow People (1973) for its entire six year run. After its conclusion in 1979, he appeared in numerous other programs including the series Kessler (1981), and Cymbeline (1982) (part of the BBC Shakespeare series); perhaps more famously he appeared as a Jeremy Beadle stooge in over 40 sketches for Game for a Laugh (1981) and Beadle's About (1986). More recently, he has worked as a theatrical agent, representing, among others, Philip Gilbert. The two were reunited once again in 2001, as they reprised their roles as John and TIM for the new Tomorrow People audio adventures released by Big Finish Productions. - IMDb Mini Biography By: Gene Simon

Episode 9: Death's Door



Episode 9: Death's Door December 11, 2013
IMDB SUMMARY When John finds himself in a dangerous situation, Stephen is unable to help without revealing himself to Ultra. Not satisfied with the answer he has discovered about his father's disappearance, Stephen decides to take drastic measures with the help of his fellow Tomorrow People to find out the truth. Meanwhile, Cara and Russell negotiate a trade with Jedikiah, which ultimately makes Jedikiah take a big risk.

MY REVIEW
The perfect mid-season break ender. So much is reveal, but like all great mysteries, more questions are posed. But the episode brings the whole mythology of the show to a new level. But the problem with this type of cliff hanger, you know a certain main character will survive. After all, this is NOT HBO's Game of Thrones

Episode 7: Limbo


Episode 7: Limbo November 20, 2013

When Stephen decides to have some fun with his newfound powers, Jedikiah takes extreme measures to make sure it doesn't happen again. After John and Russell return from their trip, John feels a strange tension between himself and Cara. Stephen tries to handle a new and dangerous breakout on his own, but finds himself in over his head and needing help from his fellow Tomorrow People. Meanwhile, Stephen has a moment of clarity when it comes to his father, and is more determined than ever to figure out what happened to him.

MY REVIEW
With two series to draw from (1970s BBC & 1990s NICK) this episode seems to rip off - er, um I mean - pay tribute to 1980s Teen Wolf with Michael J Fox. LOL Using powers to win at basketball, and than choosing (or being forced in this case) to have to win w/o powers....

Love triangle getting hot & heavy, but wait, how much older is Cara? But who cares, this is CW, where teen agers drink at bars w/o need for fake IDS (Have you seen Vampire Diaries LMAO)

The CW formula, cast 20-30 year olds as teens, use the teen angle to sell a show and supply angst, but other times treat them like 25 year old heroes....

Episode 6: Sorry for Your Loss



Episode 6
Sorry for Your Loss
November 13, 2013

SUMMARY (IMDB) When Stephen and Russell head out for a night of fun, they run into a potential new break-out. Stephen and Russell report back to John and Cara about the new person, but they want to keep a low profile from Ultra. Sadly, Russell learns that his dad has passed away and he is torn about whether or not he should go home. John volunteers to accompany Russell to help keep him out of trouble. Meanwhile, Jedikiah has a shocking secret that could destroy his career.

MY REVIEW
I have loved Aaron Yoo (Russell) from episode one, but this is his moment. Showing his dramatic side. Great actor!!!  I did not even recognize Aaron in openign scene...

I feel like Peyton List (Cara) is really coming into this character as well. First few episodes seemed a little forced. But that may be more an issue of the writers. She seems brilliant, calculating and impulsive - all depending on what serves the story - but inconsistent for the character.

This episode is a real tear jerker with both story lines. Sacrifice and Loss...
