Psych 4x09

[katikat]

Well, to sum it up? Overall, I was disappointed. I expected something more... intense, I guess, along the lines of the S3 finale or Wednesday 17th. There were some great parts - Shawn running and using his dad's lessons, Henry following Shawn's clues, we finally saw Shawn's "apartment"... But the rest? I didn't... feel the danger, their anxiousness to find Shawn. I just didn't feel it.

The last chase was ridiculous - up to that point, I liked the ep a lot. But the chase? They all looked like a bunch of idiots, sorry to say. It wasn't even funny. They couldn't stop one guy in a truck going barely 60-70 mph? And Gus' obsession with his car...

So yeah, disappointed. I expected much more, something angsty and/or adrenaline driven and it didn't live up to it.

I was disappointed, too. The thing about Psych is that it's not always consistent. Sometimes, there are great ones (the S3 finale, as you said, the one where Lassiter was framed, etc.) and then there are the "meh" ones, such as this one. Granted, part of the problem was probably that all the fans got so hyped up about it.

And the fact that this was a very lukewarm ep. The end chase was absolutely ridiculous and not the good kind of ridiculous.

I really liked how the flashbacks kept coming in the beginning, and I wanted them to keep coming the whole ep.

So, overall, not great, and I agree with you completely.

I agree. I was so hyped about the ep that I suspected that I would be disappointed. But I hoped against hope that I wouldn't be. Oh well... *sigh*
