I know he's a kid and all but he was a threat to global security. Just shoot him. If you're afraid of him cornfielding you set up a sniper and have him shoot the kid when he steps outside.

I like Gardevoir, just not in that way.

Won't he just be able to read their thoughts and do something before they have a chance to act?

I don't know that they ever imposed a limit as to how far his mind reading/transformation abilities were able to reach.

99% of people were probably too scared or were Stockholm Syndrome'd so they wouldn't try anything anyway.

I couldn't stand that kid. I skip the episode whenever it's on TV or I'm rewatching the series.

I have a feeling this is one of those cases where someone on CE is putting more thought into the premise than the writer did. happens to me all the time.

Yeah, they could have clobbered him as long as he was distracted. That moment presents itself in the episode. The problem is that he could read everyone's mind and react accordingly. From the looks of it, resources were pretty scarce and maybe he got rid of all the guns prior to cutting the town off from the rest of the world.

...and yet here we are, with the defeat of net neutrality about to happen and nobody stopping it. The episode is a great metaphor for many things.

I always assumed it was something like that.
