re: Psych: How will writers ultimately deal with Shawn's "Psychic' Abilities??

To be honest, the psychic thing has been played out for awhile with the whole putting his hand to his head and stuff thing.

Of course, The difficulty is in presenting it in a way that it is believable that police would keep him as a consultant and would not arrest him for fraud or something.

But yeah, I guess it could be argued that he does have some sort of "gift" beyond just a photographic memory. The point could be made that something is drawing him to the specific items he focuses on. It's not like he just does a complete coverage grid scan of the crime scene and then later pulls it back up in his memory and systematically goes from grid to grid
