   It's amazing how well it takes watching multiple times.

   Use of telepaths in ships is used extensively in season 4.  She might   
   have gotten special additions that allowed her to run a ship but I think   
   it more likely it was an error in continuity.

   At that point in the series I went "Huh?  That was too easy".  Then   
   later when we met Lorien I went "so that's what that was about".
