Well, (and I hate to defend this film in any way) there could be a range
on telepathy, it may need a medium to travel through, it may not be able to
travel through thick solids like the hulls of starships, the starships may
have some sort of jamming device to prevent telepathic attack. Like I said,
since telepathy isn't based on any real, reliable science, the writer is free
to make up his own rules.
