Psych

[crissfan172]

In no particular order (after the top 3):

Six Feet Under the Sea
65 Million Years Off
An Evening With Mr. Yang
Forget Me Not
From the Earth to Starbucks
Cloudy...With a Chance Of Murder
American Duos
And Down the Stretch Comes Murder
Shawn Has the Yips
High Top Fade Out
Viagra Falls
Extradition II: The Actual Extradition Part

I can't put any season 6 episodes on the list yet because I haven't seen them enough yet to really gauge how much I enjoy them.

[The Wedge]

Oh, Viagra Falls, there's another gem.

I'm not too good with episode names, but I liked:

- The superhero vigilante episode
- The vampire episode
- The episode where Sean and Julia were on their long weekend

I wasn't crazy about the episode that was a ripoff of The Hangover.

[The Wedge]

That would be "The Amazing Pysch-Man and Tap-Man, Issue 2", "This Episode Sucks" and "Neil Simons Lovers Retreat." The one you didn't care for is "Last Night Gus." And all of those are from this season, you must really have liked this season.

Yeah, I thought the topic was this season's episodes, that's why I referenced ones from this season. That, and because I'd have a hard time listing the good episodes from past seasons because the details blur together in my mind after a while. Overall, it's a very enjoyable show.

As to this season, I was very happy with the way they kept the romantic angle as a small side-bar. So many shows have been ruined when that became the centerpiece. My only regret about the season was that I wish it was longer and not broken down into segments of 6 weeks or so with long hiatuses in between.

I think the thing that really helps Psych avoid making Shawn and Juliet a centerpiece is the fact that the show isn't about them...it's about Shawn and Gus. With Moonlighting, it was about Cybill Shepherd and Bruce Willis, so it was impossible to avoid it. I'm not really sure how Castle is going to manage it when they finally get together. It'll be interesting to see.

I almost feel like Shawn's relationship with Abigail was like a dry run to see how they could do with giving Shawn a relationship, acknowledging it, but keeping it off to the side of the the main plots. Because if you think about it, how they work in Shawn and Juliets relationship is almost exactly like how they did with Abigail, with the added wrinkle that Juliet is a "coworker."

[The Wedge]

Next week is the 100th episode, and it's the Clue episode. Sweeeeeeeeeeeet.

[The Wedge]

Can, busted wide open. Worms everywhere.

[Solstatic]

Was this the last episode for a while?

[The Wedge]

Was this the last episode for a while?

No preview, so maybe, but that's an awfully short half season, especially after a somewhat longer than usual break between seasons.

[crissfan172]

Was this the last episode for a while?

No...there are two more left in the half-season. No weeks off either.


Ya know...I knew she'd be upset, but I'm a little surprised at how angry and shocked she was. For someone that's supposed to be so smart, I'm amazed she never had her doubts.

Yeah, that was disheartening. Made her seem really dumb frankly. I always assumed that everyone had their doubts about his "powers", but kept them quiet because he got results

I always thought Juliet was the only one (beyond McNab, by the way, when that stripper came in, I actually said to my wife "oh please let that be McNab, that'd be hilarious") who truly believed. And the more we learn of her the more that made a kind of sense, especially in relation to her father. She believed in Shawn because he was pretty good at it, and because she wants to believe people, or else everyone around here is like Frank. Less dumb, and more idealistic. Lassiter down right knows he's not psychic, he just can't prove it, and has eased up because he does actually respect Shawn as a detective (although he obviously hates how Shawn can get around the regulations he's stuck with). And I've always felt that Chief Vick knows, she's just trying not to look a gift horse in the mouth.

[The Wedge]

As to the amount she got upset, don't forget the ending of the first episode with Declan, Shawn 2.0. She flat states that she cherishes honor above all other virtues. Shawn was a second away from telling her the truth right then, but Declan beat him to the punch.
