Psych 3x04 and 3x05

I like the new direction this show is taking. The cases are less cracky and more real, Shawn isn't just a loon anymore, he has more depth now. I like it very much indeed.

Steve Weber! Oh my, how I loved him on Wings and in Jeffrey! He's just great :) I liked the way in which this episode was told. I also loved the case itself. And the double danger/betrayal was a nice twist. I also adored the interaction between Shawn and Juliet, when he gave her his message. And then Shawn's little smile when he managed to trick his uncle. I bet that Henry was really proud of him :) Though it was a bit sad, as if Shawn lost some childhood illusion...

This episode was quite interesting. First, we are shown that Henry a) might have forged evidence to get the guy and b) that he was wrong, at least partially. Shawn was portrayed as quite competent and he told his father outright that it was their case, his and Gus', and that he would play by their rules or not at all because it was his, Shawn's, butt on the line. And Gus being fed up with their constant bickering was quite funny too :) And of course, disco! I felt a bit sorry for McNab, though - Jules and Lassie are quite cunning, really. But it was funny how it always turned against them! XD

So much love for this season so far!! I agree that it's less cracky, and although I loved the crackiness I do love the new direction too. I ADORED the interaction between Shawn and his uncle, that was an awesome ep!

I love the humor which sets this show apart from other series on TV these days. But I'm happy that now, they solve real cases. I felt like some of the eps - the American Duos one especially - were simply too over the top.

I love how Jules and Lassie play off each other now - so different from season one!

Oh yes. Jules and Lassie are now equals and they behave so. Jules isn't the newbie anymore :) And I love that they show Shawn's darker side a bit too, that it's not just fun and roses for him all the time. During S2, I feared that the show would jumpt the shark with eps like the American Duos one :(

You know what made me really happy during this last episode. Did you notice that they made the credits at the beginning longer? They added more of the theme song and now there's a lot more scenes of all the other characters besides Shawn and Gus. It made me so happy that they balanced it out more.

I also noticed that there was something different in the opening credits this time. They added a lot of scenes.

The OP changed, the show lost its over-the-top crackiness... It feels like the people on top, TPTB, changed, you know what I mean?
