Psych 414

[katikat]

I freely admit that I skipped parts of this ep - they were pushing my embarrassment squick button too strongly. There's a big difference between being funny and being embarrassing. Hey, writers! Go re-watch S1 - and tone down Shawn's stupidity!

The guest stars were awesome! The case itself was awesome! I loved how Shawn figured out that Snowden was the bad guy. And how he saved Bonaventure's life. And how he figured out that Snowden had a partner. Those were awesome, awesome things!

The rest was just too embarrassing. I skipped the whole pizza thing and the whole think tank too. Way over the top and not at all funny. It's NOT funny when the writers turn Shawn into some lazy idiot savant. Too much is just too much!

Two more eps to go this season. Promo for 415!

I totally agree with leoraine with the use of the word "cringe-worthy." Psych occasionally hits my embarrassment squick, and just thinking of the last episode is making me squirm unpleasantly. And I just watched most of season one again a few weeks ago, and the comparison makes these new episodes even more cringe-worthy. I have hope for next week's episode (mostly because I have a soft spot for Lassiter-centric eps) but not too much hope, unfortunately. Psych really needs to shape up, or else I'm going to stop watching. :(

Yeah, it feels like the writers are trying too hard and the results are getting worse and worse. I'm thinking of leaving the writers a tweet over on Twitter, mentioning it. I miss the feel!good feeling of S1.

I too have hope for next episode, though it's purely for the fact that if it will be Lassiter-centric, Shawn won't have so much opportunity to make an *idjit* from himself, he'll be busy doing it to Lassiter. (I'm also interested in the ep, after watching all off the Jericho and seeing Lassie as Constantine *shiver*. That man can play a great psycho if he wants to, lol)

I have high hopes for the season finale. Last season finale was amazing so I hope that they can keep it up this year. And they promised us a twist that nobody would see coming...
