I was doing so well at the start of the year and I've failed to keep up with updating like I wanted to these past couple of months. That's going to change now, since I have a busy few weeks planned and there will be lots of updates.

So Psych has reached the end of its 6th season. [Spoilers]Overall it was a vast improvement on Season 5. There isn't an

Are those supposed to be cuts? There's something wrong. I want to know how you feel about Community! :D

[jacqui_hw]

They're spoiler cuts. They should just reveal what's underneath.

Oh, it does work! I am officially an idiot.

Overall it was a vast improvement on Season 5.

Agreed. I think the central reason was that Season Six returned the focus to Shawn/Gus, which had always been the heart and soul of the series. Far too much of Season Five was dedicated to Shawn/Jules, which wasn't even a B-plot dynamic in earlier seasons, even at the expense of Shawn/Gus screentime, especially in the middle of the season. Season Six wasn't perfect--e.g., I would have liked the Shawn&Henry interaction spaced out better across the season, intead of crammed into the final episode, but it had a metric ton's worth of improvement over Season Five.

It didn't exactly end the way I hoped it would. I really want Juliet to find out about Shawn, because I don't like that she's dating someone who is lying to her every single day. They need to address it and deal with what happens next.

I did my own rant on why and how much the lack of reveal is bothering me at this point and comparing it to the Season Four finale of Merlin and that show's equally frustrating lack of reveal. [/

Your review makes a lot of excellent points. I've never wanted Shawn and Juliet together as a couple, because from what I can see, he doesn't really deserve her. As you say, he shows no remorse or conflict about his behaviour. Maybe he does feel it and we just don't see it, but all that presents the viewer with is a man in his early thirties, lying to a woman he supposedly loves and manipulating everyone and everything to get his own way

A+ on all points.

I also agree with everything you wrote about Community, but I never know what else to add about that series besides "Perfect Show is Perfect."
