Yah, I agree, Psy vs. Psy was SUPER AWESOME! I was feeling kind of let down by eps 1 and 2, but this one has totally re-energized my love for Psych. Shawn was just FANTASTIC and I, too, feel that it was a robbery that we didn't get to see topless Shawn. ;-)

2.01-2 just weren't as ... 'zippy' as this one. I rewatched 2.03 three times before going to bed last night, that was how much I love it, and the amount of energy I got from the episode was great. I might be able to get back to fanfic now because I just wasn't feeling it before last night.

"We're lucky if our psychic doesn't lick the body"

such a brilliant quote. =]

Yeah, I think that really must sum up Vick's feelings, although it's odd, we've never seen Shawn really disturb a crime scene, I think. We've seen him run around, poke, prod and lean, but I don't recall him really 'messing with' the crime scene.

re: Lassy also makes an incredibly bizarre face when Jules is talking about LDP getting out of the shower.

He does! In saw that the first time around and was all "... no. He did not just look like he was thinking about it in a positive way too." I watched the second aring just to see that... well, that and Lassiter mouth "Washington Black". Too cute!

[pookaseraph]

My brain went to 'Lassy totally thinks that about Shawn sometimes, he understands!'

The 'Washington Black' thing was pretty hilarious too. So many good moments to chose from.

I loved the 'federal bone' 'funny bone' conversation right at the start.

Ahahaha, me too! I love how Ewing was just totally broadsided by the silliness that is Shawn and Gus.

I tend to get annoyed that any time one of the guys is attracted to a girl, she has to be a criminal, just because it makes it really really predictable. But it does also make it very gratifying when you're yelling at the TV, "Oh my gosh, stop hitting on Shawn! Can't you see his big gay love with Lassiter/Gus/whoever else??" Or maybe I'm just biased.

Well, as long as we're on the topic of Shawn/Lassiter, I too loved the fact that they seemed to be working together so much in this episode. Aw. Lassiter looked truly awkward and uncomfortable when they shut Shawn and Gus out of their meeting, and it was great how they were keeping each other in the loop through the whole episode.

[pookaseraph]

I know, and the Shassy was truly topped off by Lassiter's *INCREDIBLY* jealous/awkward look when he finds out Shawn and Lindsay had sex. I swear he's like 'but but ... my psychic!'

[snowystingray]

Ahaha, too true! I just watched the episode again, and Lassiter is definitely the one who seems the most torn up during that scene.

Have you watched the preview scene for next week's episode? I think it also promises to have a lot of Shawn/Lassiter, yay. I can hardly wait.

[pookaseraph]

I did see the online preview. I would love to see Shawn track down the girl just to see what his 'competition' is, or if Lassy made her up.

You know, I had to watch the episode twice because I was so pissed off at all the Shawn/Lindsay that I wasn't able to fully enjoy it the first time xDDD

Although more subtle compared to the first season, I like that there are still Shassie moments. I think my favourite was the moment when Lassy pulls his gun out really fast to protect Shawn whit a look of "Don't touch my man again or you'll die!". He probably hated her already for sleeping with his psychic xD

And I loved how incredibly bisexual (or gay) was Lassy in this episode.

Lassy also makes an incredibly bizarre face when Jules is talking about LDP getting out of the shower.
He was totally thinking that he'd love to see LDP like that xD

I also think that the Henry "I accept you the way you are" comment is something that you say to your son when he just has confessed you that he sleeps with guys xD

Great episode, yup. But I still miss the touching!

[pookaseraph]

I love the Shassy moment(s) and I really hope to see a lot more this season. Lassy was very protective of his man though, way faster on the draw than LDP or Jules.

I'm interested in what you saw and 'gay' from Lassy this episode, as I also got that impression he just seemed to totally want to sex LDP and then Shawn, but any other impressions are keen.

And Henry's 'I accept you' came off really gay. Like maybe Shawn wishes he'd gotten that from Henry 12 years ago when he came out, didn't get it and instead ran off.

I was so sad there were no touchings. Shawn had two whole flails but didn't touch Lassy!

I'm interested in what you saw and 'gay' from Lassy this episode, as I also got that impression he just seemed to totally want to sex LDP and then Shawn, but any other impressions are keen.

I got this impression becuase Lassy didn't only want to impress LDP, he was totally drooling over him; in the Jules talking about LDP in the shower he was just as dreamy as her... And he didn't even looked at Lindsay once.

And then he realized he liked Shawn more and was the only one who put an annoyance face after learning that Lindsay sleeped with Shawn.

In this season, it seems that Lassy just want to be with someone, and that it doesn't matter if this someone is female or male. That's what I thought watching Psy vs Psy (wishful thinking, probably, but I can't help it xD).

[pookaseraph]

Man, I wish the guys had the balls to do Shassy (of course they would mess it up but whatever). At the very least I hope they find him a nice girlfriend (who I can ignore when I hook him up with Shawn).
