** [[spoiler:In the third episode he rationalizes the narrow focus Ultra has on the basis of a rather twisted "for the greater good" ideology. He barely dismisses Stalin's crimes, only ''pro forma'' reciting the "he was a monster" line. It is clear that he fancies himself a man in that mold, one who must commit crimes against a designated enemy to further hos goals.]]

** [[spoiler:Not so. As of the second episode, he admits that he intends to use Stephen to get to the Tomorrow People-- and kill them all. Though I suppose an argument could be made that he's well-intentioned as far as homo sapiens goes.]]

* WellIntentionedExtremist: Dr. Jedekiah Price [[spoiler:to all intents and purposes honestly believes that everything he's doing is to help the Tomorrow People.]]

* VillainHasAPoint: Jedikiah Price obviously has some FantasticRacism issues, but he is correct about the problems that would arise from teenagers and young adults spontaneously manifesting super-powers. [[spoiler: Which is shown in the second episode as a teenage uses his power to make people rob a bank and then an armored truck.]]

* RestrainingBolt: [[spoiler:The Tomorrow People cannot commit an act of murder. It's not that they ethically won't; their own brains engage some kind of shutdown mode when they try.]]

[[spoiler: Which is shown in the second episode as a teenage uses his power to make a guard rob a bank and then an armored truck.]]

* DoubleReverseQuadrupleAgent: [[spoiler:Stephen decides to do this, working for Jedikiah while secretly reporting back to Cara. Whose side he is really on has yet to be established.]]

* FantasticRacism: Goes both ways. Ultra obviously sees the Tomorrow People as a threat to the human species to be eliminated, while the Tomorrow People hold themselves apart from "saps", i.e., normal humans. One of the reasons Steven won't stay with them is because he won't separate from his family.]]

''The Tomorrow People'' was {{reviv|al}}ed in the mid 90's with the help of {{Nickelodeon}} for three seasons. During the TurnOfTheMillennium, BigFinish produced a series of ''The Tomorrow People'' audio dramas, [[WeMeetAgain reuniting many of the original cast members]]. The audio series has now concluded, although yet ''another'' revival (which will apparently be HotterAndSexier than its past incarnations) is in development for TheCW.

* RestrainingBolt: Like in all previous series, The Tomorrow People cannot commit an act of murder. It's not that they ethically won't; their own brains engage some kind of shutdown mode when they try. Dr. Jedekiah Price's EstablishingCharacterMoment is a truly horrifying example of KickTheDog - he tells a turncoat Homo Superior YouHaveFailedMe, ''admits'' he's going to kill him, gives the HS a gun to ''attempt'' to kill the sociopathic sap first, smirks as the shutdown engages, then nonchalantly takes the gun back and shoots the HS in the back of the head.
