Quick important question for Psych 4.01: Did the show just make a shoutout to The Middleman? Pierre referred to himself as "just the middleman" and then described his plan as being brilliant "in its simplicity." I... uhh... that could very easily be coincidence, but I want SO HARD to believe that it was intentional, so. As far as I'm concerned it was. In which case -- SHOW SHOW SHOW. EVERY TIME I THINK I COULDN'T LOVE YOU MORE, I DO.
(If I were a good fan I would do a better write-up but it's the middle of the night and I even ducked out of the RH capschat rewatch early because I honestly truly intended to go to bed early and yet somehow... have not. So anyway. I will sum up my feelings by C&Ping my comment from
here: I love that, in under two minutes, at least half a dozen different ships are pandered to, haha. As a chronic multishipper, I find this very pleasing.... Shawn/Gus! Shawn/Jules! Shawn/Abigail! Shawn/Lassiter! Shawn/Raccoons! Lassiter/Jules!)
(ALSO. More actor recycling -- the hotel clerk from Psy vs. Psy, and the calculus teacher from If You're So Smart, Then Why Are You Dead? I don't know why exactly I have become so fixated on this show's guest stars but, well, there it is.)
(ALSO. UNFFFF opening credits with Lassiter from Lassie Did a Bad, Bad Thing. THIS IS RELEVANT TO MY INTERESTS.)
(ALSO. I was watching my S1 DVDs the other day and decided to finally check out the episode commentaries and, oh, my preexisting writerly crush on Andy Berman just jumped about ten levels within a forty minute period. 9 Lives is still such a shockingly perfect hour of television.)
