- Synopsis:
Although the series was planned to continue, this is the last of the original Tomorrow People shows. It is a satirical dig at the UN and USA foreign policy of the time. "War of the Empires" tells of when the Earth becomes entangled in a vicious intergalactic war between the Thargons and the Sorsons. A peanut-butter eating US president (a wicked parody of real life president Jimmy Carter) forms an alliance with the Sorsons who build a base on Earth and supply the Americans with new advanced weapons. The enraged Thargons threaten to destroy the Earth in a massive attack if the Americans continue to be allies with the Sorsons. John is thrown into detention and stripped of his powers after insulting the Galactic Trip Council while asking them for assistance with this politically volatile situation. Back on Earth the Tomorrow People are left powerless after being exposed to Barlumin given to the Americans by their allies the Sorsons....
