History Series / TheTomorrowPeople2013

* TheChessmaster: [[spoiler:Jedikiah Price. He has spent literally ''years'' planning to remove The Founder (Bathory) as an obstacle to his long-term goals, whatever they may be.]]

* YourCheatingHeart: [[spoiler:Cara cheats on John with Stephen.]]

* {{Adorkable}}: Irene is a [[HollywoodNerd cute]] TeenGenius who talks like a college textbook, dances like she's having a seizure and [[CoolBigSis whom Cara watches out for]].

* FakeOutMakeOut: [[spoiler: Stephen and Cara use this gambit to dodge being caught by Ultra's mooks.]]
* FakingTheDead: [[spoiler:Jedikiah fakes Morgan's murder to protect her from the Founder.]]

* RemakeCameo: Nicholas Young (John from the [[Series/TheTomorrowPeople original series]]) appears as one of the founders of the original, more benevolent incarnation of Ultra. He provides an InfoDump about Ultra's origins and clues about Stephen's father.

** ''Series/{{Charmed}}'' - In the episode "Sorry For Your Loss", Russell and Stephen met a girl at the bar who is trying to play a round of pool with "her new rod". [[spoiler: Guess who is the new breakout?]]

* GenreSavvy:
** Ultra, in general. They have a pretty good grasp on what makes people tick, and Stephen uses this to his advantage to [[spoiler:surprise Kurt, the would-be teenage bandit, and turn him traitor.]]
** A specific sub-example is Jedikiah knowing his brother quite well, even after several years apart. [[spoiler:Well enough to spot, at first glance, a modified mechanical watch that hides a critical protection chip, the "D" chip.]]
** Jedikiah continues this streak [[spoiler:when he deduces that the long-term goal of the Tomorrow People isn't just grabbing Errol, but to backtrack him to the Citadel.]]
** Jedikiah figuring out what Hillary Cole's plan is, and bluntly telling her to knock it off.
-->'''Jedikiah:''' If I say 'yes' [to punishing Stephen and Astrid] and you smile, you're next, you got it?

* [[HunterOfHisOwnKind Hunters Of Their Own Kind]]: Ultra employs a lot of Homo Superior agents and while some are reluctant to one degree or another, others seem to be fully willing to carry out their missions. This is despite the callous treatment they receive at Ultra's hands. What makes this even more tragically ironic is that Stephen's father supposedly started Ultra to search out and protect breakouts, but Jedikiah hijacked it with his own ideas about how to "protect" Homo sapiens and Homo superiors.

** We see two Tomorrow People training in their underground base. During their spar, one teleports behind the other, putting them back to back. The other looks around and ''[[CrowningMomentOfFunny taps the teleporter on the shoulder to get his attention]]'', and they go back to fighting.

* BiggerBad: The Founder, who is Jedikiah's boss. [[spoiler:He is much, much, much worse than Jedikiah, although in many ways they're counterparts, each wanting to wipe out the opposing group/species. Even the other HS see him as a genocidal maniac that only wants power. And he's easily the strongest Tomorrow Person around.]]

The second reboot of [[Series/TheTomorrowPeople1973 the popular British sci-fi drama from]] TheSeventies, this version debuted on TheCW in October 2013. It was not picked up for renewal for a second season.

** {{Charmed}} - In the episode "Sorry For Your Loss", Russell and Stephen met a girl at the bar who is trying to play a round of pool with "her new rod". [[spoiler: Guess who is the new breakout?]]

** EscapeFromNewYork - Just like [[{{Antihero}} Snake Plissken]], [[spoiler:Julian]] is injected with an explosive that has a timer as insurance for their opponent that the assigned job ''will'' be done and that no thoughts of sneaking off somewhere occur.

* WhamShot: The end of "Things Fall Apart" [[spoiler:shows Stephen's mom having blocked a hail of automatic gunfire from a squad of Ultra agents using a telekinetic shield.]]

* ProtagonistCenteredMorality: When Ultra depowers Homo Superiors who commit actual crimes, they're despicable and wrong. When Cara [[spoiler:depowers Kurt, who was coerced into helping Ultra by threats on the ''life of his mother'']] she says she is perfectly justified [[spoiler:as Kurt's betrayal got several HS killed]] despite the fact that getting the sample to be able to reverse engineer it took them so much effort in the first place.

* PsychicPowers: The "three [=T's=]" -- {{Telepathy}}, [[TeleportersAndTransporters Teleportation]] and [[MindOverMatter Telekinesis]]. Stephen and his father share a fourth ability to [[TimeStandsStill stop time]].

* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: Jedikiah [[SnarkToSnarkCombat observes]] to John that he was always "better at following orders than giving them". [[spoiler:Given that Cara more effectively takes up the gauntlet against Ultra than John ever did, it's somewhat justified.]]

* RestrainingBolt: The Tomorrow People can't kill anyone. It's not that they ethically won't; their own brains engage some kind of shutdown mode when they try.
** However, it's been suggested that soon, they may evolve past this little roadblock. [[spoiler: Ultra can, however, alter agents to be capable of killing by using drugs to kill that part of the brain. There were only two successful candidates until the season finale, when Ultra manages to produce an entire paranormal kill squad.]]
*** [[spoiler: The Founder's Plan can get around this when people are frozen in time using his machine. He plans to use it to kill the human race.]]
** Ultra has power-blocking technology that can shield their facilities or be locked on with cuffs or bracelets to negate the wearer's powers.
* ScrewTheRulesIHaveSupernaturalPowers: This pops up a lot with more criminal breakouts. [[spoiler:And Stephen gets a little bit into it with basketball and, being a bit drunk, forgets his own self-imposed rule about reading Astrid's mind.]]

* ScrewTheRulesImDoingWhatsRight: Stephen shakes up the Tomorrow People's bunker mentality by encouraging them to break John's rules and live their lives beyond mere survival. While this leads to [[spoiler:Kurt's betrayal and Ultra's ambush at the party]] it also results in Stephen [[spoiler:teleporting an injured Irene to a hospital to save her life.]]

* VancouverDoubling: As of the second episode, filming is being done in Vancouver standing in for New York. Some recognizable aspects of Vancouver can be made out if you look closely.
* 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 as a teenager uses his power to make people rob a bank and then an armored truck, a rapist who kidnaps women, and a guy who breaks out prisoners from jail cells.]]
** Jedikiah also has concerns about what would happen if a Homo Superior mutant were born with the powers but not the no-killing limitation. We've already seen them assisting with murders and robbery alone...
*** [[spoiler:The Founder's Plan pretty much sums this up since people aren't technically alive while time is stopped, meaning they can kill freely.]]

* WeaponizedTeleportation: We see two Tomorrow People training in their underground base. During their spar, one teleports behind the other, putting them back to back. The other looks around and ''[[CrowningMomentOfFunny taps the teleporter on the shoulder to get his attention]]'', and they go back to fighting.

* PoisonousFriend: Natalie is this. [[spoiler: She causes things to escalate in the final arc of the season to save her own ass after she pressed some of them into taking the tracer in the first place. She openly challenged Roger, held Luka hostage, and convinced Russell to betray them.]] [[ItsAllAboutMe: She makes it bluntly clear she doesn't give a rat's ass about anyone but herself.]] She led a team of annex agents down the lair with the express intention of killing Cara. When Russell gets in the way she flat-out says he's on his own.

** Stephen's father supposedly started Ultra to search out and protect breakouts. Jedikiah apparently hijacked it with his own ideas about how to "protect" Homo sapiens and Homo superiors.

* ForgotAboutHisPowers: A lot of Stephen's problems could be solved if he remembered he could [[TimeStandsStill stop time]] to get in and out before he gets into trouble.
** Except that [[PowerIncontinence he can't always control it.]] It's usually triggered by extreme emotional surges.

* FakeOutMakeOut: [[spoiler: Stephen and Cara.]]

* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: Jedikiah seems to have genuine feelings for Morgan, enough that he is willing to [[spoiler:give up Ultra intel to the Tomorrow People, help John escape Ultra custody and send her into hiding with the Tomorrow People]] in order to keep her safe. He also seems to have genuine regrets over how things played out with John.

* EasilyForgiven: Very recently, Hillary tried to get Stephen and Astrid killed to advance her own position within Ultra. Suddenly, she's sympathetic to one paranormal's superhero complex and now Stephen's starting a relationship with her. [[spoiler:It turns out she's TheMole for The Founder. But then she was only doing it to "protect" Stephen.]]

* DisappearedDad: Roger Price ran out on his family to protect them from his escalating fight against Ultra. [[spoiler:He allowed himself to be shot and apparently killed by John in order to access the Limbo dimension. Given their relationship, he could kind of count towards him, too.]]

* ChronicHeroSyndrome: Stephen is this, and it gets him into all kinds of trouble.

* ButtMonkey: Russell.

* BadBoss: Neither Jedikiah nor The Founder have any compunction about killing HS Ultra personnel for even the slightest infractions. We have yet to see if their human agents get the same treatment.

* AMindIsATerribleThingToRead: When Astrid suggests Stephen's telepathy is awesome, he points this out by citing how one guy was wondering if he had Crabs.

The second reboot of [[Series/TheTomorrowPeople the popular British sci-fi drama from]] TheSeventies, this version debuted on TheCW in October 2013. It was not picked up for renewal for a second season.

Stephen Jameson thinks he's mentally ill - he sleepwalks, he hears voices that shouldn't be there, the works. As it happens, he's really part of a genetically enhanced new species, and they're being hunted by {{Muggles}} who fear them and their psychic powers. So what's a poor young Tomorrow Person to do? He joins Ultra, the very team that's hunting his kind, as the inside man for a small underground movement of renegade young Tomorrow People forced to live on the fringes as society has rejected them.

** Russell, Natalie, Jody and others allow Ultra to inject them with something called a "tracer." Only Russell is mildly suspicious of this, and then only for a moment. [[spoiler: It turns out that this "tracer" makes it possible for Bathory to kill any of them instantly via remote control.]]

** "Modus Vivendi": [[spoiler:[[MataHari Hillary]] is revealed to be TheMole.]]
