‘The Tomorrow People of today
Vintage British show
gets modern revival
Lauren Paulsen, Contributor
OOO
Gupernatural television shows
are coming out in droves
nowadays, and it’s hard to find a
fresh new idea.
The Tomorrow People recycles
an old idea about a teen who
thinks he’s crazy when weird
things start happening to him,
but as a mystery woman’s voice
tells him in his head, he isn’t
crazy.
In fact, this boy, Stephen,
is part of a new race of humans
known as Homo Superior,
who develop psychic abilities
during adolescence—this is
also known as “breaking out.”
To make things interesting, this
new species of humans has a
psychological make-up that
keeps them from deliberately
killing other people.
Stephen finds this out by
following directions from the
|
voice in his head and finding
a bunch of other teens with
powers as well. Oh, and we
mustn't forget the big bad
organization that is trying to kill
off his kind!
The original British series
first aired in 1973, was re-
imagined in 1992, and had a
third incarnation in 2001.50
what makes this incarnation any
better?
For starters, the graphics.
One of my favourite parts
happens near the beginning
when Stephen goes to bed
in his room and wakes up to
find himself not only in his
neighbour’s house but sleeping
between the not-so-happy
couple. Apparently, this has
happened before. As it turns out,
he’s actually teleporting in his
sleep. Now, when these guys
teleport, there is a neat swirl
animation that looks really cool.
I just want to keep watching
them teleport.
A second example is when
Stephen actually stops time to
prevent a just-shot bullet from
hitting one of his new friends.
The gun has just been fired, so
you can even see the shell flying
out, and it looks like ripples
in the air are coming out of

Stephen’s hand.
But how can we expect
anything less from a show
nowadays? We certainly do love
our special effects, especially
when they are realistic.
I thoroughly enjoyed
watching the episode until the
ending when Stephen decides to
work for the big bad guy. This
made me give the show a lower
rating than I was planning to in
the beginning. However, the rest
of it was good enough that I will
continue to watch this series.
Who knows, maybe there’s
a reason behind Stephen’s
decision?
