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 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....
