Psych 5.13

Psych 5.13 We'd like to thank the Academy
Better the second time around, Psych came around with an homage to the Police Academy. A very enjoyable episode with many laugh-out-loud moments.

+ Police academy references. Oh Gus, you really can't do it.
+ Lassiter's sting: he made it happen based on Shawn's idea. Teamwork!
+ "It's 11 am.!" "I know."
+ "I can't believe you're Henry Spencer's son."
   "Me neither. It's an ongoing investigation."
+ "It's 2.15, absolutely not." Another piece of evidence that running around all the time lets you eat what you want.
+ Lassiter's "--beat me off?"
   Shawn: "You might want to rephrase that, sir."
+ Weeks, days, the next 10 hours..You've made a real impact on our lives.
+ "Too late, idiots."
+ Jules has a skirt that shows off her legs, but doesn't appear even a little sexier than usual. How does she do it?
+ "You locked them in the cruiser, right?"
   "Yes."
   "Appreciate that."
   "No problem."
+ Jules saving her own ass for once instead of getting sanctioned over helping Shawn.
+ "You rock my world."
+ Chief's back!
    -Lassiter: "That was mine!"  
    -"We won't let you down, chief."
     "Ha ha..oh, yes..you will."
+ "I really do have a problem."
+ Lassiter genuinely telling Conforth that his students are topnotch. Lassiter and Conforth's awkward moment. When they were going for a hug, Shawn stopped them.
+ "I can wear it tonight." "How about I wear it tonight?" ....

Doctor Who saved my life

It's difficult to watch a TV show where people run around all the time and adventure through time and space without wanting to get into it too. I'm going to start running. Spend less time online. I can be a good person, if I so choose, I think (snort).

Friends 2.06

Friends 2.06 TOW the baby on the bus
I was feeling depressed, so I watched an old episode of Friends from the good old season 2. As much as I think Chandler and Monica are one the most amazing couples out there, I miss terribly the times when it was just Chandler and Joey.

I ignored the Phoebe/Rachel sideplot and simply concentrated on Joey and Chandler. Those guys are just so funny together. I want a friend like those guys are to each other.
+ Chandler mocks Monica for not having a boyfriend or a baby. The former is ironic when you think about the future. The latter is 'Ouch', when you think about the future.
+ J/C pretend to be a gay couple to get Ben. F-un-ny.
+ "What kind of scary-ass clowns came to your birthday?"
+ Frank Jr. makes an appearance and gets money from his sister, though it is unclear whether he's Frank Jr. here or just some guy.
+ "I've got kiwi! Run, Joey, run!"
+ Rachel was finally ignored for the most part. Yes!

The Big Bang Theory 4.13

TBBT 4.13 The Love Car Displacement
It was nice to get a non-Sheldon centered episode for once, as much as I love our pet mantis.
All the main characters got good scenes in and it was a pretty funny episode, too. All in all, very good.

Summary:
Amy asks Penny as her +1 to a panel where everyone save Penny is speaking. (Pretty convenient, considering their varied fields). The group gets to the conference, and Bernadette meets her old boyfriend. Howard gets jealous and drives Bernadette away, leading to her bunking with Penny and Amy. Amy, however, turns out to be a rather unpleasant bunkmate to Penny, and she runs to Leonard and Sheldon. Sheldon finds the former couple in bed together and uses Occam's razor on the situation and goes to Raj. They disagree as well, and Raj comes and interrupts Penny and Leonard's hook up.

The next day, they go to the panel and Sheldon asks Bernadette to speak (now we know her last name. If only I could still remember it..). She obliges, and gets some payback from Howard's earlier insult. Howard fires back, and Leonard and Raj chime in, only for the panel to be highjacked by Penny, who just wanted to go home. Glenn tells her he could take her, and Bernadette introduces them, leading to Leonard yelling 'NO!'

All in all, it was pretty funny. I didn't personally get why Bernadette's ex was supposedly so goodlooking, but he looked pleasant enough to make me believe what the others were saying. And besides, it's the context that counts.

Sheldon was funny but contained, and this episode showed that TBBT works even without Sheldon running the show, which is good to notice. Amy had some good scenes that were sprinkled throughout the episode, one being at the very beginning ("that does seem like a valid concept"[sic]). Penny was sadly mostly in the position of just reacting to what Amy was saying, but she got hers by the end too. I think Bernadette should dump Howard for what he said, but I'm afraid she would leave the show it she did. Maybe she could date Raj, I read a preview of the next episode saying that Raj is going to be dreaming about his bff's gf. I was surprisingly OK with Leonard and Penny hooking up, for once it didn't feel nasty to me. Probably because it wasn't even remotely romantic, but still. The panel was great. Leonard's 'NO!' was awesome. Sadly, this episode didn't include any nerd-stuff, save for Leonard's Star Trek references.


In conclusion, I thought it was an 85% episode and I found it delightful that they found a way to use all characters. I would've hoped for a stronger story for Penny, but she is generally a largely under-appreciated character by the writers, so I'll settle for what I got.

Doctor Who 2.4 (Ten!Doctor)

Doctor Who 2.4 The girl in the fireplace

The episode marks the first Doctor Who episode I've seen without the Master. Oh my God. So beautiful. So funny. So sad. I can't say anything so I'll just make the usual list.

+ Ten and Madame de Pompadour <3
+ "We're not keeping the horse." "I let you keep Mickey!" The line is brilliant, though it could've been delivered better.
+ The French
+ "Don't look like that, we don't have the time."
+ A human who can take on the Doctor's mental capacity.

White Collar 2.10

White Collar 2.10 Burke's Seven

For a show I only watch when nothing else is on, White collar is a pretty good one. It's not too intelligent and relies a tad too much on good looking actors to get the viewers interested, but it kind of works.

+Sara came back and this time they really worked together-together.
+ "I see what you did there" Peter and Neil are just funny together.
+ Peter's wife becoming the seventh member. She's quick!
-the look on one of the forgers' face when Neil says "It's for Mozzie". It just wasn't believable. The woman who asked "Is that the guy who.." was more convincing.
+ like Mozzie
-+Neil's gratitude to Mozzie was not emotional enough to be an emo scene, but not funny enough to be comedy. Just something they do.
+ Is it a sting or con? :)

In conclusion, seeing the ep without any expectations was nice for once and the ep was a nice surprise.

The Big Bang Theory 4.12

TBBT 4.12 The Bus Pants Utilization

The Big Bang Theory is one of the few shows on TV that are actually still good and sometimes even better than they were a few seasons ago. Not to say it hasn't had its not-so-great episodes too, but the show more than makes up for them by producing several good ones to go with them, so all in all I'm pretty happy.

4.12 was one of the 70% episodes, not the best, but with several funny parts. After all the Leonard/Penny scenes we've had this season (yuck), after Amy coming along and kind of stealing Penny moments away (I like her, but I want Shenny back too), we finally had ourselves some Shenny.

Leonard gets a good idea for an app, he ropes the other guys in on it and Sheldon quickly takes over the project. He was being a bitch, so Leonard understandably kicks him off the project. Penny comforts him until she can't take it anymore and gets him to "apologize" to the others. This works but almost instantaneously Sheldon gets snippy again and he's apparently kicked out again. The episode ends with Shenny working together to create an app which will undoubtedly make millions.

+ "Hang on, let's see where he's going"
+ "Then you come up with an explanation as to why this woman hangs out with us all the time"
+Raj: Last night I had a dream we got so rich from the app, you and I bought matching side by side mansions. But there was a secret tunnel connecting your front yard to my back yard. What do you think that means?
Howard: It means that after we play handball I'm showering at home.
<3+ Leonard didn't know what bus pants were, but Penny did (parallel to the Euclid Alternative, where Penny knew about the bungee cords but Leonard didn't)
- Sheldon acting like first season Sheldon, then again, that's when we started loving him.

How I met your mother 6.14

Himym 6.14 Last words

Himym just keeps getting worse and worse. Last words was a new low for the show. Marshall's dad died, and everyone goes to Minnesota to support him. In its entirety, the episode was just lost.

+Robin's bag of tricks and the "spoon full of sugar, who are you kidding?" line was great
+Lily acting like a bitch to get Marshall's mom let out steam was sort of endearing
-Other than that, they should've just stayed off the air for another week and come up with a good episode.

I should just give up on this show.

House 7.9



House 7.9 Larger than life
House showed a man come down with an illness X. The guy's a rocker, who leaves his family to go do his own thing (which is what we already saw in episode 5.21 called "Saviors", only that time it was an activist). Cuddy's mother came by, and her antics were slightly amusing. The medicine part of the episode was less than impressive. Amber Tamblyn's character Masters hasn't really budded yet, or rather they haven't found a way to make it work entirely (compare her for example to Cutthroat bitch, who was an instant success). Chase and Foreman doing rock-paper-scissors to decide who goes to help Masters was kind of funny but felt a bit forced. Like the writers thought "oh, we're doing a funny bit now". The "you have to choose between Huddy or Hilson" bit didn't really shock anyone, I think. What did, however, make me laugh was when House drugged Cuddy's mom and Wilson and the cuddling on the couch that ensued. I think it's good that Taub and his wife finally called it quits.

-medecine is just the uninteresting side story
-the background of the sick person was boring and already done in House-verse
+House drugging the wonder twins
-Not a lot of House being House
+though his ploy to get rid of Cuddy and Wilson was pretty amusing
-all in all, a pretty boring episode

If this doesn't pick up, I might give this show up.

Pairing Analysis

After reading this (through which I discovered the Doctor/the Master), I started thinking what kind of pairings I usually go for. (This is not a complete list, but the ones I remember right now).

More comprehensive shippage:

The Doctor/the Master is of course enemy!slash. They've already had a canon on-screen kiss about thirty years ago, so it's not even slash anymore, it's just fact. And this is a family show, remember. This is the ultimate enemyslash pairing. You don't need to write bondage, it's already there!

Fuffy. Since. Forever. Those two crazy kids should just get a room already. If Buffy hadn't had such problems with coming out, Faith would never have gone with the Mayor. Also includes canon bondage. What more could you ask?

Shassie, I think, counts as enemyslash too, since buddyslash would require them to get along after the rocky start, and though they've had their moments, they're not quite there yet..

I just realized House/Wilson is kind of an outlet for Sherlock-slashfans to get their groove on. That said, it is pretty awesome. Category: abusive buddyship?

Merlin/Gwaine: ...an attractive man shows Merlin how to live and gets some sex in the process? I really have no idea.

Henry/Anne: because they are. Love, sex, hate, violence, dancing, comfort, death, it's all there!

Penny/Sheldon: again, antagonism, but really cute in between.

Spock/McCoy OR Kirk/McCoy. I used to enjoy Spirk videos, but I watched the series and they weren't a couple. Also, Spirk is too easy. Cue McCoy. SpoCoy=antagonism. Kirk/McCoy (which I like less, but like the videos anyhow) is a buddything.

Spangel and theoretical Spander. Again, hate, sex.. I also loved it when Spike comforted Buffy and shipped them afterwards, but what he did to her later kind of threw me off them.

Daniel/Vala: Just get it on! Make a special episode and make us watch!

Destiel: I only watch the show for the angels. This kind of goes from hate to friendship and back again.

Sherlock/Lestrade (thanks to MonstersInside): Because nothing quite says love like holding up a fake drugs bust on your boy toy. (Again, BBC Sherlock. Not sACD).

Huddy: antagonism. Sometimes I'm slightly weirded out by where they're taking the relationship, but whatevs.

Wilson/Amber: loved her. Why kill her off? (To preserve her character and not to screw it up. Okay, that's fine).

Clex: I'm not going to apologize for watching this show. Also, Clois. It's always about someone other than Clark, though.

Batman and Catwoman: because when I was little, I saw Adam West's series and they held hands. Well, Batman doesn't like anyone, but maybe she could be the exception.

Lassiet: I don't know if I want them to hook up, but they're so cute. I almost prefer it that they don't get together, and the cuteness remains random.


For one great video:

Nick/Greg: I don't really ship these two, but the video I saw of them was so full of win.


Anne/Thomas: for one video, it was beautiful to see the heartbreak. This is like a breakup thing or something.

Anne Stanhope/Edward Seymour: because it's such a waste if the only man you don't sleep on the show is your husband, who is gorgeous. (The affairs were actually fictitious, but I loved the character they created).

In conclusion, it would seem I hardly ever go for a functional relationship with actual potential to work out and choose a one with the most friction. I need help.

Two series that confuse the hell out of me

I've never watched either one of these shows for more than a few episodes, but for the longest time, I didn't realize why Chuck sounded so familiar: it's Jake 2.0.

In Jake 2.0, a man that gets infected by nanobots which give him superhuman powers
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jake_2.0

In Chuck, a man receives a message that embeds the only remaining copy of the world's greatest spy secrets into his brain
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chuck_%28TV_series%29

Even the actors look alike.The difference between the series is that Jake 2.0 ended after one incomplete season and Chuck is still going strong in its fourth season (though it nearly died after three seasons and was then revamped to get better ratings). Also, the love interests in both series are called Sarah. Gah.

I know, you probably knew about this already, but I've been thinking about this for years. Fortunately it's now over.

The BBC exception

While I generally don't enjoy anyone being shipped with Sherlock, I think BBC's Sherlock (2010) is fair game for anyone watching it or even those who don't. Sherlock is, albeit being a very, very cool one, just another TV show in my book. It uses the names of the characters, and the relationships between them, but they're not exactly who they were back in sACD's stories.

I still think it's an amazing show. I even wrote a fic on it myself. Not on John and Sherlock ('cause the pairing still bugs me), obviously, but on Sherlock and Lestrade (watching YT brings about obsessions). I think John and Sherlock are great as friends.

Btw: I read a catholic site's review on the series and several commenters said they would have to drop the show for implying that Sherlock and John were gay. One of them even went so far as to say that Sherlock had been doing what everyone should be doing, which is abstaining.

...

Characters that I will defend against rule 34

Warning: contains the author's personal opinion. You might feel compelled to give out yours.

Rule 34 is for the lack of a better word for it, a rule. This is also the case when talking about characters on any type of media. No matter how unlikely, there's usually someone who ships __ and __ even though it shouldn't happen. There are two characters I find especially dear to me, and finding out someone ships them makes me more than a little queezy.

For instance, Tintin. Tintin's sexuality was never an issue, he didn't date, he adventured. I for one would like to appreciate his adventures for what they were. I feel that people who ship these two (Tintin and Captain Haddock) don't really like the fandom itself, and feel it lacks something which only romance can produce. Tintin never dated during the time we saw him. I feel that Hergé's works (among other things) show that it's okay for someone to be courageous and witty and yet not have a relationship, which is something I want to believe.

Another one is Sherlock Holmes and John Watson. My take on Sherlock is a very complex one and might seem contradictory at thimes, but hey, blogus meus, reglae meae. So, Sherlock. Another character whose sexuality was a big question mark. Granted, he "dated" one woman for the sake of furthering a case, but still, mostly he remained celibate. I've always felt kind of put off by this pairing in general (that didn't stop me from reading some fics/watching videos on them. Hey, they were well-made!). I cannot pin-point exactly why that is but I reckon it has something to do with what I already described on Tintin: I oppose the notion that a story without romance is an incomplete story. I also believe that Watson is genuinely straight. Holmes on the other hand was married to his work. Nonetheless, I have to add one exception to this rule.

Firefly Serenity - Pilot

Joss Whedon's Firefly only lasted one season, but during its short run it gathered a fairly loyal fanbase. I was curious, so I finally watched the first episode/pilot, Serenity.

It took off a bit slowly, and I was about to stop watching many times and continue later, but the characters sucked me in. Hour and a half later, I realized I had actually enjoyed myself. I imagine later episodes will contain much more substance plot-wise, as in this pilot we mostly got introduced to the characters, realize that Summer Glau's presence on board is a problem and see the characters sell some nutritional packages.

We have the captain (aka Captain Hammer from Doctor Horrible's sing-along-blog), who has his own sense of humor and justice. There's also a priest, who seems to miss the quiet life of the abbey. We have a courtesan (the ever-lovely Ori priestess from SG-1. I just want to eat her.) who's friends with Kaylée (?), a sweet mechanic who gets shot by a fed. Seemingly second-in-command of the captain (also seen on Angel or Buffy), her boyfriend is also the pilot (who looks familiar, but I can't figure out from where I know him).
I'm sorry, I'm afraid to google info on the characters since they might (=probably) contain spoilers. There's also the usual hot-head who's a mix between two actors that come to my mind every time I see him (Michael Shanks and John Connor's uncle from the Sarah Connor Chronicles). The captain seems to have a past with the courtesan. They're not exactly a couple, though. Maybe they were together before she took on extra-curricular activities.

The end of the episode features a courtesan blessing a priest. Take that imagery. All in all, I enjoyed the episode and would consider watching the next one (I just hope it isn't as long as the first one, I should at least pretend to have a life).

Psych 2.9

Psych 2.9 Bounty hunters!

Lassiet:
01:33 Juliet's screw up gets noticed by one of the officers, and Lassiter tries to avoid it becoming public information. Juliet however addresses the issue head on. He later makes a point to Shawn and Gus that he wants their help in getting Juliet's name into the clear.
14:35 Lassiter tries to talk during Shawn and Juliet's phone call. Oh, just give him the phone Jules!
39:42 "Cuff him, detective O'Hara."

Shassie:
04:10 Lassiter uses Shawn's first name. The whole "we beat bounty hunters!" "..by a knuckle." was awesome.
36:49 Nobody threatens Shawn with a gun except Lassiter.

Psych 4.5

Psych 4.5 Shawn has the yips

"They should call it the sucks."

03:50 Whisper "gun" into Lassiter's ear and you got yourself a crime scene.
12:40 Shawn finds out it's Lassie the shooter's after, and saves his life. Lassiter was actually going to answer his call! (Compare to Disco didn't die. It was murdered! where Lassiter turned down his call).
38:04 Shawn fails to throw the remote, but succeeds in saving Lassie. A nice parallel to 3.11 where he and Lassiter subdued Drimmer in a similar fashion.

Funny:
+"Gus, when did you get it?"
+Shawn's Speed-reenactment.

Psych 1.5

Psych 1.5 9 lives

Shassie:
10:57 Shawn is concerned when Lassiter's nutritional habits are off.
"You're still a young man!" The actors are actually pretty close in age, give or take fivish years.
15:20 A dancing Shawn catches the eye of Lassiter, and of course the older man is intrigued.
16:34 Shawn ends up in Lassiter's lap, and Lassie doesn't even push him away. Personally I think he was afraid of a reaction under the belt, and told Shawn to get up to cover for it. The chief didn't even blink at the pair. Shawn got to sit in his lap for nearly 20 seconds (17) before the man told him to go.
38:28 Shawn turns the conversation to Lassiter for no apparent reason.
While subduing the culprit, Lassiter is unnerved by Buzz being in his underpants. He was not by far as bothered by Shawn being in his lap earlier..
39:20 "That was adequate, Spencer."

Lassiet:
26:00 Juliet tries to set the mood, and Lassiter stomps on it. Sigh.

Funny:
"She had a nose ring."

Psych 2.2

Psych 2.2 65 millions years off

Shassie:
10:00 "[Chassie]?" Lassiter looks weirded out. He thought Shawn was trying to say Shassie :)

Lassiet:
25:42 A fist-bump between Lassiter and O'Hara. Aw.
40:37 "You disturb me." Finally, it's Lassiter's turn!
"Do you need a hug?" "Oh, what do I look like?" *walks away* "..." *returns* "Yeah, I'll take the hug." Awww.

Buzz as a Lassie fanboy returns.

Psych 4.6

Psych 4.6 Bollywood homicide


Shassie:

03:36 Lassiter acts jealous in front of Shawn's new girlfriend. I miss Abigail. Shame she was written off.
Lassiter is rebuked by Juliet for his conduct in the interrogation room. His answer?
11:53 "When has anything he's ever done to me been appropriate?" Nosebleed.

Whatever is the portemanteau for Abigail and Shawn. Hm. I'm gonna call it Shabigail:
39:29 "It's a process." The nose touch.. <3

Psych 5.15

Psych 5.15 Dead bear walking
This episode should have been called Polarizing express. I'm still pretty confused over the titles, but anyway.
Lassiter looked pretty old when he had the coat when it rained and things. Aw.

Shassie:

03:41 Shawn is more protective of Lassiter's sister Lulu/Lewis than he is. Sure, Lassiter doesn't know that Gus is oogling his sister, but still, it seemed like Shawn genuinely cared about hurting Lassiter (Gus with Lassiter's sister, Shawn with Lassiter..there are worse train wrecks, but still). "She seems so normal and humanlike."
35:13 "Look how adorable Lassie is at that size."
40:35 Lassiter winked at Shawn. Shawn looks proud. "He did good, didn't he?" "He did okay." "Oh come on, he has his own certain kind of charm." Gus didn't see it, but Shawn did :)

Funny:
Gus fawning over Lulu in the creepiest way possible.
Psych-out: Gus x Lassiter...fail. Tim can't say it with a straight face.

Psych 3.11

Psych 3.11 Lassie did a bad, bad thing

The epitome of all Shassie episodes.

First of, before I forget, I have to mention Buzz's "cream in my pants" look at 3:02. He's a Lassie fanboy, really.

Then to Shassie.
At 04:00 and onwards, Shawn's jealous that Lassiter is getting all the attention.
07:21 Lassiter holding the gun like that, slightly panting.. Nice.
11:34 "At most, Lassiter would plant evidence." Lassiter's gesture when Shawn says he didn't do it was funny too. "Don't worry buddy, we're all over this!"
15:11 "I know you didn't do this buddy. And I'm going to do everything I can to prove it." Lassiter's look of a puppy that just got kicked made it to the top 5 vulnerable faces of that year's TV.
Then the Shassie just continues. 
26:22 "Dude, is that my shirt?"
39:01 Lassiter looks like he shares the pain Shawn feels when Drimmer savagely punches him.
39:10 "You two being former lovers and all, you were overwhelmed with guilt."
"Former lovers, really?!"
40:25 Is officially the coolest Lassiter moment EVER.
Their meeting at the station is awesome too. Lassiter finally did something decent and actually thanked them more or less sincerely.

Lassiet:
Juliet is outraged to be assigned a new partner, but still does her job like the professional Lassiter taught her to be.
23:06 "And he's letting her drive!"
26:40 Seeing Juliet with another partner makes him give up.
40:16 Juliet's smile to Lassiter is priceless.

Funny:
+"I mean, we all knew he would shoot somebody someday."Stare. "..."
+"--with a fake Swedish accent." "It was the one done by your mother." "Sweet baby J."
+"You wanna know my process?" "Absolutely." "Usually it starts with a Holla! and ends with a creamsicle."
"And if there's time in between? Thundercats. Ho!" "I'm dead."
+"Hit the jackal switch."
+"What, were you raised by wolves?"
+"That bad, huh?"

Psych 1.12

Psych 1.12 Cloudy..with a chance of murder.

This was a pretty cute Shassie episode. We never actually got the explanation as to why Lassiter suddenly got all soft on Shawn, but I'm just happy he did.


Shassie:
10:17 Turns out they're together on the case. Lassiter first seems like his usual self, but then leans in and says "Just don't screw this one up." Shawn is dazzled since he wasn't expecting words of encouragement. Lassiter's half-smile is ever adorable.
20:05 Shawn asked Lassiter for help, despite all of their history together (which at this point is twelve episodes), and to everyone's amazement, Lassiter actually vouched for him.
25:44 Lassiter puts his hand on Shawn for no apparent reason. Juliet tells Shawn he's missing something big.
27:50 When questioned about the letter, Lassiter immediately looks at Shawn. Apparently he's on Shawn's side for once! He seems amused by Shawn's antics now that for once he's not the object of them.
41:58 Lassiter got Shawn's bike pulled from the auction. Aw. Then he acts all "I didn't do nuthin'."
Shawn looks at him like a lost puppy.

Psych 4.15

Psych 4.15 The head, the tail, the whole damn episode

Shassie:
Where do I begin..
Lassiter is becoming obsessed with Shawn.
04:10 "Today, I'm going to out-Spencer Spencer."
05:29 Shawn pats his own chest to signify Lassiter's his homeboy.
07:06 "You got all up in my head!" Shawn spends some time flattering Lassiter (at least it seems to have that effect on him).
08:09 "We're one and the same. We're Shassie now. We're Sharlton. We're Spenceter." <3 "Oh my god." (Lassiter's embarrassed because he realized Shawn had gone through his browser history).
10:37 Just the look on Lassiter's face is enough here.
12:30 "Platonic soulmates?" Yeah right.
24:03 Shawn is impressed by Lassiter's insistance on this having been a murder as evidenced by the approving glance he shoots at Gus.
24:23 "Lassie, I've never been more in love with you than I am at this moment." "You are virtually insane!" Lassiter's smile <3
27:04 Lassie loses heart and abandons the school of Shawn.
39:40 Shawn and Gus torment Lassiter, who decides he doesn't want to be Shawn after all. Nevertheless, when the duo takes their leave, Lassiter sit down to read the paper.


Honorary mention:
08:01 Gus: "How do you think we stayed in business these past four years?"
14:52 Gus: "Let me get this straight. You're doing real police work and Lassiter's following some crazy hunch?" "Stranger things have happened." "Name one."


Lassiet:
03:20 "Not by you!" "Thanks for that."
3:58 Lassiter rants about his work. Apparently he's not that happy being the way he is, after all. The start of many a "Shut it."
06:35 "Sorry about that."
10:50 "You say that again, I shoot you." Lassiter seems convinced.
14:22 "I'm sorry. I'm just dehydrated."
24:07 "I wasn't going to."
Psych-outs: Lassiter and Juliet dance to Let's get physical. Trauma!!!

Funny:
"Do my theories sound that insane?"
"Sometimes insaner."

Psych 5.14

Psych 5.14 Polarizing express


Shassie:

14:31 Shawn's dream version of Lassiter? Priceless. I wish Lassiter would grow his hair out for real.
15:42 I don't know what exactly happened, but when Shawn took a peek at Lassiter, he was suddenly back in his regular clothes and it was quite a tender moment. "At least they respect him."
25:56 Shawn brings Lassiter flowers. More specifically poinsettia, which symbolizes good cheer and merriment. What follows is amazing. While Lassiter starts out mad (understandably), it doesn't take long for Shawn to convince him to go along with his plan. "Sternum bush." "Let's hug it out."
28:50 "You thinking what I'm thinking?"
35:35 Lassiter chimes in on Shawn's emotional plea for the public.
37:58 Lassiter first acts snarky, but then all but suppresses a smile. He knows Shawn tricked him, but he doesn't mind.


Lassiet:
Very little.
37:59 "This is the best Christmas I've had since..ever."

Cute:
Though this episode was too abrupt for it to really work (Shawn has been solving crime since first season, and suddenly one screw-up gets him fired? Right.), it was nice to see Shawn and Henry reunited in the end.

Weird:
I found chief Vick strangely attractive in Shawn's dream sequence.

Psych 5.04

Psych 504 Chivalry is not dead...but someone is:

Lassiet:
03:14 "The Ken-dolls!" Lassiter's expression :)
9:08 "You disturb me."
10:50  "Would you stop disagreeing with me when I'm agreeing with you?"
At 38:20 Lassiter and Juliet share a look when Shawn comments on Lassiter having been right about the mysterious circumstances around a woman's husband's death.


Lassiet and Shassie:
24:00 Lassiet bust Shawn and Gus on their date with the older women. This scene could either be interpreted as Lassiet bonding or Lassiter being jealous and Shawn trying to convince him "it's not what it looks like".

Shassie:
Aside from the aforementioned date scene, this was not a big Shassie episode. The usual bickering.
03:35 Shawn pats Lassiter on his shoulder. "I guess that does make you look a little foolish."

Funniest moment:
40:00 Shawn's rant about Henry pointing at someone else on his death bed because that would mean Shawn's not his biological son. I laughed out loud. The banter between Shawn and Prescot in general.

Also:
10:09 Lassiter's Mrs. Robinson moment. Ouch.
