The Tomorrrow People -- "The Citadel" -- 1/15/14




Synopsis:

"The Citadel" - (9:00-10:00 p.m. ET) (TV-14, LV) (HDTV)

BREAKING IN - After Stephen (Robbie Amell) returns from the brink, he thinks he has a clue to what happened to his father, but his fellow Tomorrow People are not sure they believe him. When the Tomorrow People learn some disappointing news from John (Luke Mitchell), they make an unexpected decision about their future. The Tomorrow People finally get a lead on Ultra's secret research lab and they devise a dangerous plan to free all those being held captive there. Meanwhile, Stephen's mom introduces Stephen and his brother Luca (guest star Jacob Kogan) to a new man she is dating, but Stephen is having a hard time getting a read on him. Peyton List, Aaron Yoo and Mark Pellegrino also star. Sarah Clarke, Jeffrey Pierce, Ty Olsson ("Supernatural") and Robert Gant ("Queer as Folk") guest star. Eagle Egilsson directed the episode written by Jeff Rake and Grainne Godfree (#110).

Unfortunately I dint think too many people are watching this.

A good episode back after the break. I liked the shakeup with Kara taking over.

I'm almost willing to be the new boyfriend is actually the guy they are looking for.

I'm not necessarily bored of it... but... I do have too many shows on my schedule. And this is number 1 on the chopping block. If anything... I'd just pick up the rest of the season during the summer.

Liked the episode. The "hand-cuffs" bit was both ick and cool.

I wonder why he can't read the boyfriend? Device? Another older telepath?

The boyfriend is clearly the "Founder," the powerful telepath behind the organization.

I've liked this show after a couple of shaky episodes in the beginning. If they had to do it over again, I think limiting most Tomorrow People to one power would have been a smarter long-term storytelling strategy. There are way too many powerful characters if you take these powers to their logical limits.

Interesting. My thought is the boyfriend is actually the "dead" guy they are looking for.

Wasn't the bearded guy from a few episodes back the founder? He visited Ultra and conducted the mind reading? It was the episode where they faked the girlfriends death so she could be safe with the tomorrow people.

I think the bearded guy was the founder's right-hand man. The problem with this show is that it has to keep upping the ante on the hierarchy of powers, so every new character is a more powerful telepath or whatever. In comic book universes (which this show clearly is) you have to have a clearly defined hierarchy of the most powerful characters. This show misses that point, so far introducing a dozen contenders for that title.
