Uh.. he did say keep an eye on him? the interrogator said his debriefing was clean and Price said too clean.


my emphasis was on both of them acknowledging that he failed as opposed to saying the kid was clean.

Is this a remake of the ITV childrens show from the early 1970s? i loved that show growing up. it sounds like it is because people are referencing the movie "Jumper" which was similar in that kids could teleport. ill have to catch this show.

Fun fact. one of the actors who played the Doctor on Doctor Who got his first role on the Tomorrow People. a very young Peter Davision played the role of Man-Boy.

Hmm, not sold on this remake after watching a preview. The original series had characters with a lot of charm (they were vulnerable and inquisitive, sometimes a bit naive). The previews showed characters giving off the "too cool for school"/angsty vibe, which is a turn off. Definitely the same show though, replacing the London Subway base with a New York version.

the girl needs to pretend that she doesn't have powers or else she risks everything. and what does she do? uses her powers a lot the same day. wtf? kid already told lucifer about the suicidal girl. lucifer might have set up surveillance to see what he does. they dont seem to be taking any precautions to meet in secret. lucifer's all-powerful secret organization isn't making any attempt to watch him or find the group they've been after a long time.

i dont like how they make out his organization to be so evil. it would be better if his organization seemed more humane, then the tomorrow people would feel more like rebels which would make a better story i think. would be easier for the boy to show internal conflicts about his loyalty and whatnot.

i think the organization already knows the girl's identity. now that the story established that she's deaf, im guessing the organization could easily figure that out. i assume the hearing is tied to her powers. so when they see she still has her hearing, they'd know the serum failed.

i'm not liking boy's interaction with the black girl either. first he tells her he has these special powers and she doesnt believe him. now that she sees them, she's very hostile against him. imo she should be more sympathetic and try to help him instead of confronting him. perhaps keeping a secret and not telling him, but be understanding when he does the weird things (not answer calls, know things he shouldn't, etc) and offer emotional support.

/edit i gotta figure out better nicknames for the cast. too many white boys.

I got to say this show is pretty good, i'm surprised theres little interest from people on here.. yet my magic pony seems to have more recognition on here.. very worrying.
