Psychic Powers: Difference between revisions

Line 258:

* A running joke on ''[[The Mentalist]]'' is someone asking Patrick Jane if he has these, [[Subverted Trope|only for him to state that psychics don't exist.]] He "reads" people by [[Sherlock Scan|observing details about their wardrobe, surroundings, and/or nonverbal tics.]] Of course, this doesn't stop anyone on either side of the fourth wall from asking questions.

** Shawn Spencer does pretty much the same thing on ''[[Psych]],'' except he doesn't mind grabbing the [[Phony Psychic]] trope with both hands and giving it a big, warm, wet kiss in every episode. Even if doing so freaks everyone else out. Which only makes it even more hilarious.

* In ''[[Wednesday]]'', the title character has ~~clairvoiant~~ abilities that trigger whenever she is close to a person or object with significance to her ancestor Goody Adams, plus seems to be a medium to Goody herself. She has no control of these powers, they happen automatically whether she knows she is close to one of the triggers or not.

* In ''[[Wednesday]]'', the title character has retrocognitive abilities that trigger whenever she is close to a person or object with significance to her ancestor Goody Adams, plus seems to be a medium to Goody herself. She has no control of these powers, they happen automatically whether she knows she is close to one of the triggers or not.
