Did anyone else cry a little that it was the last episode of the season?

(followed the link from the psych comm...)

Agreed with most of your comments. Especially the ending. I don't mind the date part, but the part that bothered me most was Juliet's little confession. I don't really ship anybody in Psych, and honestly I like the Shawn/Juliet dynamic the way it was back in season 1 -- a little bit flirty, but nothing serious. They've been pushing the Shawn/Juliet angle really strongly this season, and that's been sort of disappointing for me.

I'd actually prefer Shawn/Abigail, if only because Abigail would be the off-screen girlfriend and probably wouldn't get in the way of The Funny nearly as much as whatever tension a romance between Shawn and Juliet would create.

[/my two cents]

I agree with your two cents. I used to really like Shawn/Juliet during the 1st and 2nd season. This season it just felt awkward to me.

And I like your point about Abigail being an off-screen girlfriend. I could see it working.

I totally agree with everything you said (but then again I usually do! lol) I have seriously fallen in love with Gus this season, and this last episode topped it all! Gus made a complete and total idiot during all that to support his friend and I wanted to hug him even as I giggled helplessly ( ... )

It's because I've brainwashed you. Muhahaha.

K not really. (But I might have to if you try to steal Tim for yourself)

I think the train part was where I totally fell in love with Mary too. He was funny before, but seeing him jog along that train just CRACKED me up.

If I wrote the show, Gus and Juliet would be together already and pushing Shawn and Lassiter into a relationship. But, sadly, I don't write it. I just wish they'd at least flirt around more with pairing Gus and Juliet together on the show. Even if they only plan to use it as a love triangle with Gus-Juliet-Shawn.

Actually the brainwashing makes sense... *raises eyebrow*

I am willing to share Tim, but only because I also want James Roday and Dule Hill. :D But I love Tim too much to let him go! :D

Oh yeah... Mary has the best (sexiest) jog ever! lol

I LOVE the idea of Gus and Juliet. They have so much in common (comic book love for one) and they were just be so cute! I did like "Talk Derby To Me" when Gus tried to save Juliet from the other rollor girls. That was so cute! :D

First, I apologize if this has been stated before. I haven't looked through the entire comments section yet.

However, I can see Jules suddenly asking Shawn out in this episode, mainly because she felt more impressed by his abilities while he was under extreme personal pressure. This was the first case that really hit close to home and his family was in jeopardy.

Though hopefully they bring Abigail back for season 4. Her and Shawn click much too nicely, especially since she gets Shawn's sense of humor and reciprocates 95% of the time.

The waitress was adorable! I remember thinking, 'Oh, I actually really like this week's girl, for once!' Alas, it was not to be.

I really can't get over how much I want Gus/Juliet to happen. First of all, it seems that Shawn always attracts girls so easily, while Gus is stuck with Miley Cyrus look-alikes who turn out to be engaged. It would be nice to see him get the girl. Also, it would be a nice twist- the lead girl doesn't end up with the lead guy. And they have so much in common! The comic book love alone makes me want that pairing.

Lassiter and Gus were in top form this episode. I love that Lassiter's Civil War knowledge was used to help solve the case, instead of a way to poke fun at Lassiter. And Gus is such a good friend.

That waitress would be Emma Lahana.
Hi I'm an Emma fangirl

I totally agree with your twist on the lead girl not ending up with the lead guy. Gus/Juliet would be an awesome couple.

And I totally love that history saved the day! I could've done with a little more Lassiter this episode, but I'm glad that much was in there at least.

dj_rocca February 22 2009, 16:47:17 UTC

I know! I loved that they actually had the toss backs to season one (The Bee and the Civil War Recreations) that was well done!

MARY LIGHTLY APPRECIATION THREAD!

In other news, this episode was the bomb. Diggity I might even say.

beggar_always February 22 2009, 05:46:55 UTC

I'm going to be sad if Mary isn't in at least one episode next season. For serious.

Gus was AWESOME. I love how he listened to Shawn's reasoning and then just went with it.

The ending just felt weird when tied to such an intense episode. I know the end is always semi-fluffy...but this just went to that from intense way too fast. Especially after the creepy serial killer was being creepy and saying it wasn't over and such.
