TAKING RISKS - When John (Luke Mitchell) finds himself in a dangerous situation, Stephen (Robbie Amell) 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 (Peyton List) and Russell (Aaron Yoo) negotiate a trade with Jedikiah (Mark Pellegrino), which ultimately makes Jedikiah take a big risk. Madeleine Mantock also stars.

Yeah a few of us here do including me, it's not just you. What's so embarrassing about watching this? It's solid entertainment for a rookie show.

I dunno, I feel a little old (45) for this show. It's not bad as far as fantasy goes, but it feels a little hollow. I get the sense it might not be renewed.

I feel like this has done a good job giving 're characters backstory and motivation, while quickly developing a mythology. I find myself looking forward to it more and more.

I thought it was reported a few weeks back that it was renewed?

No, it got a full 22 episode season. Renewal decision won't be made until May 2014 when the season is over.

I watch it and I am 48. Definitely geared toward a young audience. The only real critique I have with the show is the same I have with any show that starts with "humans' trying to delay/destroy the next step in "evolution". Its is very stupid. You can't fight that which is inevitible. So by trying to stop/kill them, all that it is doing is creating enemies. These people are unrelated and popping up all over the world for at least 2 generations now. How can you stop that? At best you are causing a slight delay, at worst you are going to cause the speeding up of your demise by making them enemies.

Also, I don't like the uncle. I keep seeing him as "Satan" for Supernatural.

It is kind of ridiculous to end up creating the thing they are so worried about. Reminds me of part of Heroes were they think it's a good idea to round up a bunch of people with powers. That would basically create the problem they are so worried about.

Okay episode. Some good character scenes, but I think last week would have been better for cliffhanger purposes. That or leave this episode with him flatlined.

Boo - no more Amellsdays - after March 12 that is. Not surprise of the move as they want Arrow to help out another one of their rookie
shows. I guess I can delay watching my recording of "The Tomorrow People" a few days until after I watch my recording of "Arrow" thus
still making it a Armell double-header.

Amellsdays - http://www.cwtv.com/cw-video/arrow/a...9-df68fd2927d1

Edit: Added the "after March 12 that is" part - orginially thought they were making the move when they come back in January.
Added the link to the "funny" Amellsdays promo that was on the CW Website.

They could have ended that on a better cliffhanger. Cara should have professed her love for Stephen to bring him back from the dead, right in front of John. I did like the fake-out with Jed killing the girl.
