They can read and control other peoples' minds ...


... but they can't tell when someone is sneaking up on them with a shotgun.

Isn't anyone else bothered by this?

Are you referring to the part where they were all in a circle with their minds synchronized? I assumed because of the circumstances that maybe they were all so absorbed in the process of unifying their minds into one that they weren't aware of their surroundings.

Suspension of disbelief... we need that to watch movies. I thought the same thing as you.

Also, when the crooked ConSec head of security tries to kill Kim, she just let's him go without really incapacitating him. Hmmm, Dr. Ruth and the computer's operators could have been saved.
