i've been rewatching psych (as i'm sure you could guess) and three things are really standing out to me on this rewatch

the amount of times gus and shawn have to literally go "no homo" in a situation that really can't be explained any other way is just like. at this point it'd be less gay for them to just have sex

obviously henry is sort of an asshole and a bad parent in a lot of ways, despite his best intentions, but in spite of that, even when their relationship is at it's worst in the show, it's crazy to me how much shawn and henry just like each other. yes we haven't spoken in over a year, now i'm in your house, taking your stuff, of course you're cooking me food, yes we're talking about cases but there's just a lot of - casual hanging out? i really do think despite everything that they had a good relationship until the divorce and falling back into that is easier than not. their relationship is actually the most insane, convoluted parent-child relationship on tv and i'm standing by that, but the undercurrent of like that it has is what i think makes it so interesting instead of just the classic love and hate

they did juliet so dirty by having her think that shawn was really psychic. that makes her the only one in the main cast that shawn fooled, which is just. uncomfortable. and doesn't even make any sense! she's better than that. the only one that should actually think shawn is psychic is buzz and only because he's thinks it's impolite to think that his friends are liars

Maybe it's just that I've been paying more attention but season 3 of Psych feels like a definite improvement. The first two seasons were fun, don't get me wrong, but s3 was banger after banger after banger

every so often, you just have to come to terms with the fact that timothy omundson is extremely handsome, and he tricked you into forgetting. again. bc he's actually a fantastic character actor who exclusively plays tools.

If you genuinely, truly, absolutely, cannot bring yourself to vote for the president of the united states, please just show up for elections anyway and vote for your congresspeople and local representatives.

Please.

Just.

If you cannot bring yourself to vote for the president because he's so disgusting of a candidate you morally cannot bring yourself to cross that line, then PLEASE vote for your congresspeople and local representatives who can block, defend, or present new bills, actions, acts, etc.

These are the people who can actually confirm or deny or impede horrendous acts when they happen.

Like. This is the bare minimum. If you cannot vote for the President, please just still vote for someone.

Change doesn't happen if you don't vote for the people willing to enact change.

You see, Shawn, my life's goal has always been to commit the perfect crime. I've always thought of my heists as... elegant. Victimless. But you made me feel somehow... regretful. You genuinely wanted me to be the greatest thief that ever lived. Well, gentlemen, I need you to know that I am capable of all the things you thought I could do and more.

PSYCH 15TH ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION

Day 6: Favorite Quote(s) - I would rather…

psych episode where shawn begins to have psychic premonitions (carbon monoxide poisoning)

The reason Psych is the Important Show of All Time is because it said "friendship is the MOST important thing." Like, yes, the romances were good but the show spends even more time emphasizing and developing the friendships and that's why it rocks. Lassiter and Juliet love and support each other unconditionally without even the slightest whiff of romance and it is SO. REFRESHING. When Juliet almost dies, Lassie sacrifices his favorite gun to save her without any hesitation. He's the one there to hold her while she cries. She's his confidant. She leaves everything she knows behind so he can chase his dream of being chief without reprocussion. That's a deep, wholesome kind of platonic love. They also never had Shawn be jealous of how close Jules and Lassie are - instead, in the final episode, we see Shawn thanking Lassie for loving and supporting Juliet. We simply don't do that jealousy crap here. Lassie and Jules are best friends and that's an excellent thing. And then there's Shawn and Gus. Those characters are narratively and physically inseperable. The show makes it VERY clear that, without the other, neither one is complete. They balance each other and exacerbate each other's hijinks at the same time. They're closer than close and everyone around them just accepts it. It's just the way those two dumb boys are and no one is going to try to get between that. And then, of course, SO many friendships develop over the course of the show. Lassie and Shawn form a begrudging friendship eventually. Juliet and Karen end up bonding more than I think either expected. Friendship is the beating heart of this series and it's presented in a way that is unique and fun and I just don't see a lot of other shows that do it like Psych did.

Psych reminding you that it is indeed a TV show that airs weekly

Lassiter: “Lesson number two. Cops don’t wait in line. They go straight to the front. Even at Starbucks.” Juliet: Hi, SBPD. Can I please get the class schedules for these students? Thank you.“ Lassiter: "Lesson number three. Don’t say "please,” don’t say “thank you,” and definitely don’t say “hi.” Spirit Squad auditions were over ten years ago. You’re an authority figure. Act like it.“ Juliet: "Ever heard "you can catch more flies with honey?”“ Lassiter: "Lesson number four. Don’t quote cornpone country bumpkin sayings to your commanding officer.” Juliet: “How many lessons are there?” Lassiter: “638.”

Psych Season 2 Episode 7 “If You’re so Smart, Then Why Are You Dead?” (via literarynerd05)

episodes like there might be blood and six feet under the sea are not the most groundbreaking episodes, but they are VERY fun and showcase the best of how the characters interact

there might be blood? chief is front and center. shawn faces a professional conflict of interest, as he is being pulled in both directions by chief and her sister’s rivalry. juliet and lassiter’s case ties into the main one. lassiter’s affinity for women who could kick his ass rears its head. gus is a table. everyone is firing on all cylinders

six feet under the sea? another lassiter b-plot that ties into the main case. a hilarious premise. juliet and gus being unironically passionate about a local sea lion hero. callbacks to the flashback cold open. lassiter being roped into the shenanigans because he wants a good damn case. the entire phil collins gag with chief

tldr: season 3 is a fucking amazing season and you owe it to yourself to rewatch it

[Psych 2.06 - Meat is Murder…but Murder is also Murder]

idk why tv shows even bother with doing theme songs anymore like give up already you're not gonna beat psych's

I’m just a funny little Psych account but George Floyd’s killer and every other pig like him should be rounded up and put in jail for life. Killing them would be a waste of bullets. Just so you know where I stand, thanks.

Dad, kids your age should not be cooped up inside playing video games all day. You should be outdoors feeding pigeons and driving with your blinker on.

Lassie: You're wrong about this one. That girl was murdered.

Shawn: I'm afraid that's not humanly possible.

Lassie: And how come?

Shawn: First, because you think she was murdered.

Lassie: Well, I guess we'll see.

Shawn: Yeah, we will see.

Lassie: Yeah, we'll see.

Shawn: I just said that.

Lassie: No, I said it--

Jules: Boys.

Unbelievable. Lassie has now beaten us to a suspect. I'm afraid history will not look too kindly on your tenure as "lead" investigator.
