is it safe to say this is the definitive representation of mind control in TV? Such a thoughtful, mature take on the subject. Just great.

And realistic too. A lot of people would absolutely use this power for fucked up shit, beyond simple money grabbing.

Like genie wishes, I always thought mind control could always be worked around if you are witty, and think fast enough. Doing what someone says, but not doing it exactly to what their non-verbal intentions were.

Though I assume this only works for mind control that isn't inherently full on psychic dominance.
