katikatI finally caught up on Psych. Well... *sigh*
This was a really good episode. I loved all the allusions to Twin Peaks, all the guest stars - but especially Ray Wise and how much fun he had making fun of his own character on TP, like with the white hair. LOL!
We'd Like to Thank the Academy, The Polarizing Express, Dead Bear Walking - do yourself a favor and skip them. Shawn. Is. An. ASS in those eps. Especially in the Academy ep, he's a real and incompetent asshole. The same goes for the Express ep where his stupidity almost cost the cops a case. And the Bear ep is simply embarrassing. If you want to keep on loving/liking Shawn, skip those episodes. I ffwded through them because they were pushing my squick embarrassment buttons just too hard.
This was a good episode, too bad that there weren't more of those. On the other hand, I expected something more from Yang after all the build-up. Oh well, I guess I forgot it's Psych, so even serious episodes are pretty much overblown. The best part, though? Lassiter's face when he realized that Shawn and Jules were a couple: O.O!
Honestly? I'm not sure if I'll keep on watching this show. I mean, I really love the characters and their potential and some of the episodes are really awesome - the beginning of S5 was pretty much flawless - but when the show is bad, it's BAD with capital letters and it just hurts my poor little soul to see these characters so mutilated. I don't know...
