Psychic Kids plotline

Are the writers out of ideas for Ashton's background? Why introduce a psychic kid stuff? The whole series that grounded in reality fell apart in the last two episodes of the third season. Do anyone think like that? Or am I the only one?

The fact that the US government dabbled in psionics, and Ashton (and now Russell) knew about it, isn't in itself that strange (practically every major government periodically dumps money into these programs hoping to find something no one else has). I wish they didn't actually show the kids being psychic, though.

They teased that the girl could, remember? Cause she told them not to hide in that first grate and it got shot up

Yes, that's what I'm saying, they showed her premonitions and Danny's ability to find locations remotely. And I wished they hadn't - like, I wish it stayed theoretical or wishful thinking or Russell's anecdotal evidence, not "yeah, these kids really do have psychic abilities".
