ascertain out the above telecasting to see just how much of an MVP Mark Pellegrino was in last dark ’s Tomorrow People . He ’s a founder digit to the young John Young , an uncle to Stephen , a deadbeat chum - in - law to Stephen ’s mummy , and the boss of Ultra ’s killing squad . And he just makes it all so … great .
Not only is Tomorrow masses well when it ’s featuring Pellegrino ’s Jedikiah heavily , but it ’s also right when Pellegrino is virtuously equivocal rather than just a mustache - twirling baddie . The show seems to be unable to keep from doing the latter , but occasionally flirts with the former .
In any case , the most interesting bits of last night ’s episode were all about Jedikiah ’s relationships — like , he seems like he really cared about John , his sorta foster son . To the stage where he peradventure sort of winces when the grown - up John says he ’s not Jedikiah ’s boy . The item of this sequence is that Jedikiah is proved right — he trained John from puerility that it ’s a “ kill or be down ” world , and in the end John seems to agree that that ’s unfeigned , when he kills Logan Echolls from Veronica Mars and also consecrate to destruct Ultra by any agency necessary . But did Jedikiah call on John into a killer whale to use him as a better weapon in the fight against other Alphas ? Or did he do it to protect his son ? Or both ?
The notion that Alphas ca n’t kill — sorry , I ’m just going to call them Alphas from now on , because it ’s less dorky than TPs — has seemed dodgy from the outset . John , who has on the Q.T. gained the ability to kill , require to consider that the enforce non - deadliness is part of what makes the Alphas “ special . ” And Logan Echolls is decidedly a polarity of what can go incorrectly when you wrick an Alpha into a orca — he becomes a mad bomb
But in the real world we live in , of “ depraved soul , ” does n’t really reward that . There ’s a rare moment of nicety at the start of the sequence , where John tells Stephen he ’s having trouble teleporting because he ’s using Jedikiah ’s training , which is focused on “ conflict manoeuvre ” instead of huffy - feely instinct and spiritual woo - woo whatever . But like I enjoin , the remnant of the instalment totally vindicates Jedikiah and try John wrong .
Mentioning Alphas so much in this recap really underscore how far Tomorrow People has to go . Just ideate if Jedikiah were permit to have more moral equivocalness , so he could become something close to a Lee Rosen - type character . Mark Pellegrino could work out miracles with that variety of material — and candidly , it ’s a very CW move anyway . Jedikiah is this show ’s Damon Salvatore , after all .
