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!

It's kinda pushing my squick buttons too. I must admit I loved most the second season and then the episode Shot in the dark, but lately it's getting a little not so funny so much as cringe worthy. Let's hope they will get back on track soon.

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. :(

omg true facts on the cringeworthyness. I think I watched about 30 minutes possibly less of the episode, skipped the pizza thing and all the stuff with the "think tank" both when they were working for the bad guys and for the SBPD. The way they portrayed Shawn was just so obnoxious!
