Telepathy

I can't believe so many people are missing this. Arthur DOES have telepathy. If anyone paid attention to the scene right before he took Adam's power, you could hear the sound effects characteristic of telepathy while the camera focuses on Arthur's face. It also goes out of focus, a camera trick that is also used with telepathy. Also, right after this, Adam is visibly frightened and starts protesting. So leave telepathy in there...

Here's a devil's advocate case: Certainly Adam previously knew about Arthur's ability. All that needed to be communicated in order to freak Adam out was that Arthur intended to use it, and that could be done with body language, facial expression, or perhaps with some other unknown ability that Arthur may have stolen. I think at least some kind of "maybe" language should be used. But I won't force the issue. --Tisco 21:17, 24 October 2008 (EDT)

With all due respect, everyone that plays devil's advocate almost always completely ignores my stated fact about the sound/camera effects. However, if those weren't present in the scene, then I would agree with you. Sincerely, Thrashmeister [ U | T | C ] 21:24, 24 October 2008 (EDT)

Maybe Maury was nearby, supplying the thoughts necessary to frighten Adam and trigger Knox's ability to hold him down. --Tisco 21:48, 24 October 2008 (EDT)

Camera and sound effects shouldn't be considered as proof of abilities being used. Remember when Micah touched Monica in S2 and there was his technopathy music? Doesn't mean he was using it on her. --Ciwey 21:51, 24 October 2008 (EDT)

Episode reference

Do we use the episode the ability was stolen in or the episode in which the stolen ability is used? Intuitive Empath 17:36, 21 October 2008 (EDT)
