Psych 3x15 Review

As follow-up to my Preliminary Psych Squee Post from last night, here's a slightly more coherent review post in which I attempt some somewhat "in-depth" character analysis (which really just means I prattle on about how much I love Carlton).

I love it when an episode plays with a trope, and this one hit all my happy buttons. Especially the beginning, with the pretty little blonde, all alone, who startles at the window--then the kettle--then the phone--before the 'killer' finally arrives. I worked at a summer camp very similar to this one once (at the snack bar...I'm not very good with kids), and the fantastic rickety-creepiness of everything made me squee.

Dude, the sarcastic guy with all the hair? Bears an eerie resemblance to a guy who works at the local doughnut shop, sense of humor and all. Considering that I live close enough to Santa Barbara that he very well could be from there... *cue Twilight Zone theme* He also taught me cribbage. Not the strip variety!

Billy or the brunette counselor with the very, very tiny shorts are welcome to rev my engine any day of the week. The hotness... *drool* Juliet's heels were at least marginally more sensible this time, thankfully--maybe the actress saw the setting for the week and revolted against wearing stilettos in a damn forest. I used to loathe Lassiter's character. He's come an extremely long way since then. Good goin', dude. Baby!Gus looks nothing like Adult!Gus, but I still love the little guy. And I adored Baby!Shawn's perfectly disgusted 'you have got to be kidding me' face at little Gus's 'betrayal' with the other kid, secret handshake and all.

All in all, quite the good episode.

LOL! I'm kind of surprised they didn't use Juliet's heels as a way to pull a "Oh my ankle!" moment. But it seemed like they were trying to keep her character outside of the horror movie parody.

I used to be pretty apathetic toward Lassiter, but this season I'm totally in love.

And I totally loved jealous Wee!Shawn (and jealous Adult!Shawn, for that matter).
