I don't have to work tomorrow! And I still get paid for it! Legally, even! !!!
To celebrate I am watching Psych and wishing new episodes were coming back before the ass-end of summer. I miss the crew, and I miss oogling Gus. Did you forget how awesome this show is? Did the memories of Shawn and Gus' Hetero Life Mate adventures dim a little? Lucky you, I'm in a pic-spammy kind of mood - and randomly settled on If You're So Smart, Then Why Are You Dead? as the episode to review.
Little warning: some of these photos are HUGE. Sorry. I am too lazy to resize them right now.
Okay, seriously. Most flirty look ever. I would wonder how Gus could resist, but it's hard to consider someone doing a terrible Richard Roundtree episode impression sexy. Hilarious, but not sexy.
Still. How could you see that and not think that Shawn's at least a little interested in some sweaty LOGO action with Gus? I can't even fathom it.
Though to be fair I'd sure as hell be giving Gus the same looks. He's hot while making 'Bitch, PLEASE' faces, and dresses So Damn Well.
UGH OMG THAT MAN IS SO WELL DRESSED. IT'S CAUSING ME PHYSICAL PAIN. BUNNY THIS PHOTO IS TO BE USED AS A REFERENCE JSYK.
But ANYWAY. This is the episode where they go undercover to the private school and Shawn gets offended that no one would believe he's still a teenager. It's also the episode where Gus finds out he was accepted into the school way back when but his parents turned down the opportunity. Unsurprisingly he does not take this well.
I love this part because Shawn is so damn nice. He's so reasonable when faced with Gus' near-incoherency that I really thought until the end he had done something to stop Gus from going (and was kind of disappointed in him, so yay for his vindication). He's very sweet with Gus at times, and it's almost more adorable than I can handle. Oh and the middle picture is him "dying of the plague, apparently" because HAHAHAHA. It hits my laugh switch every single time.
And just to highlight that the love goes both ways - when Shawn makes a completely random comment about the killer being trapped like a salmon or something equally weird, Jules gives him the same look I would, but Gus just nods like he is in absolute agreement. No one is going to know either of them as well as they know each other.
At the end Shawn plays chess with his dad and yet is still completely aware of Gus. Admittedly this isn't very hard, as Gus is screaming into his telephone at his parents. If the dust made me laugh this makes me completely fall apart. Oh, Gus.
Shawn: [to his dad] He finally got a hold of his parents.... He doesn't deal very well with surprises.
Gus: [on the phone] I HAVE NEVER BEEN CARSICK A DAY IN MY LIFE.
They could not be more married if they tried.
Tune in next time, where I may (or may not) further discuss the death of Shabby. Most likely I'll make stupid comments about how there is absolutely nothing on earth Shawn would not do for Gus, including attending a funeral despite his general rule of refusal.
He doesn't want to go, but then he realizes it matters to Gus and of course....
...he caves. Oh, Shawn.
Well this was a good way to avoid the fact that I have to find something like 400 DOLLARS for brake repairs on my car. FOUR HUNDRED. I almost burst into tears when my mechanic told me (and he's an old family friend and nice as pie - even paid for some of the parts out of his own pocket, the whole thing could have cost quite a bit more). I just. Finding extra income for this is like trying to pull blood from a stone.
Maybe it's time for another episode. Hah.
