I've been on break for the past week, and I've literally done nothing. /Nothing./ And I'm not misusing the word literally. On the one hand, I feel bad. On the other...fuck it. I don't care. Which is troubling because lately that's been my attitude toward everything.
I also can't believe I'm about to graduate in about three months. HOW DO PEOPLE DEAL??
I'm not ready to be an adult yet. But I also know I can't put it off forever.
Anyway! Psych! The remake episode. Before we got into the commentary, I have to admit I totally don't remember the original episode at all.
- OMGGGGGGGGGG THE TRAINING EVEN STARTED WHEN SHAWN WAS A BABBBBY. LIKE LITERALLY A LITTLE SMALL ADORABLE BABY GOING TO THE COURTHOUSE WITH HIS FATHER. SOMEONE HOLD ME I CAN'T WITH THIS FAMILY.
- Oh! I get it: they're trashing the Dukes of Hazzard remake because James Roday was in it!
- Wait...Jackson Hale looks familiar! Wasn't he in that "Dual Spires" episode? Also! That judge definitely played that priest from that one exorcising episode.
- I wish they had re-used the s1 opening credits because that'd have jived much more for me that this was a remake. You're pretending this is 2006, Psych, try harder.
- Ahhhhh! WOODY'S IN THIS EPISODE TOO!! Even though technically he doesn't show up until s4? or s5? transferring from somewhere?
- This has always been in the back of my mind, but Madeleine Spencer is ever hardly talked about or seen prior to s3 which makes me sad, and also makes me wonder what kind of mom she was during Shawn's formative years. (We know Henry and she get divorced in '92, and we know during this episode that Shawn was probably at least a year old in '81 which would make him about 11/12 years old at the time of their divorce which makes him young, but not so young that Maddie wouldn't have been there for him prior to the divorce.) I reiterate again: IT'S THIS FAMILY OKAY. But mostly I have all the Maddie Spencer feels, and canon might forget her, but I always wonder what she's up to.
