The Tomorrow People has been a roller coaster, with some episodes hitting high marks and some hitting the lowest of lows. There are some pretty large plot holes, major issues that go unaddressed, and a general lack of connection and passion that I have felt in other shows I have reviewed. I am not a person who gets emotionally invested in television shows, but I would love to continue watching Defiance and Continuum because of their sheer intensity. The Tomorrow People lacks that. It seems like a bunch of pretty people, mutants or not, in a power struggle that really isn’t necessary at all. Like Haven, everything is concentrated into one small area with disastrous results. The Founder has survived Hillary’s blast, and Jed tries to plead his case to no avail, getting taken into custody. John sends a message to Cara to negotiate a truce. Wait…wasn’t there already a truce? facepalm Jedikiah ends up in a psych ward screaming like Sarah Connor did in Terminator 2. We finally get to see Marla assert herself by teleporting him out of there, rather humorously. While he is in the lab, Morgan’s pregnancy rears its ugly head again. For all of Jed’s talk about survival of the fittest, why has he turned against Ultra now? Morality. Such a complicated thing. Marla finally gets to shine, defending Roger from an ambush orchestrated by Russell (very, VERY disappointing), but gives him up to save son Luka. And Jed injects lab tech Ingrid…whaaat again??? Final review: My big thing with this show is that you don’t hear anyone saying, “Wow, you missed (blank)!” And the show is never, ever mentioned on the local radio station’s media recap. This is another pretty lukewarm episode, with mediocre acting and nothing that will truly surprise anyone to the point that they will even talk about it at the water cooler the next day. Jedikiah has powers now…wow. Shocker, since that’s what he wanted all along. Astrid with John? Weak, since John and Cara were so close. I just don’t understand the dynamics here at all.
