The George Takei episode! (shawn vs. the red phantom)
Im just going to start this one from the beginning. Look at Shawns face the moment he sees his father. He either instantly knew Henry was upset or is already bummed to have to interact with his dad, like he’s so used to feeling like shit afterwards.
This has to be the biggest reach for henry though. You can’t like superheroes because they make cops look like idiots and they’re the real heroes. He’s so categorically wrong. First of all, police kind of suck lol. second of all, why was he so threatened by comic books??? Third of all, Shawns like 8 here. He’s not allowed to have an imagination??? How is Shawn a somewhat functional adult??
This explains early seasons Shawn so much. He’s a lot more judgmental, has a particular idea about manhood, and frankly comes across as the flippant “cool guy” from high school, the judd nelson if i may. But we later see that Shawn is just as much a dork as Gus, he just wasn’t allowed to be one. i never thought of this part as character development for Shawn, i always just assumed it was drift, like how Joey from Friends got stupider as the seasons progressed. But now i see it as Shawn becoming who he was always meant to be.
This part makes me laugh so much!
Juliets a comic book fan too! I missed that the first time!
Shawn getting Takei to dislike Gus has to be the biggest dick move he’s done and I’m including drugging him haha. Takei was great. I feel like he’s played a primadonna version of himself a few times. That or I’m just remembering all the rewatches of Psych
I wonder how long lassiter and Vick knew each other before she became captain. Did she work there first? Were they rivals at some point? Or did she come from another precinct?
i think one of my favourite things about psych is the perfect balance between shawn and gus being (realistically) charming and attractive young men with reasonable dating success despite their eccentricities and, also, objectively, the biggest, nerdiest losers in all of santa barbara
Will we ever get over Shawn trying to call out to Lassiter, using his first name, while being choked by his abductors in S4E9 Shawn Takes a Shot in the Dark? No? Just checking.
Psych incorrect quotes: a series (cont.🍦💬🐟) (Warning: there will be Shassie)

Lassiter, texting group chat: What flavour of ice cream do you guys want? I’m at the store so be quick.
Juliet: Moose Tracks is good!
Shawn: What the fuck is that!?
Juliet: How dare you insult moose tracks??
Shawn: No. No no not that. What the hell. Why do you spell flavor like flavour, Lassie. It’s like you have flavor but then this guy shows up and is like “Oui Oui Would you like chocolate flaVOUR or vanilla flaVOUR.
Lassiter and Juliet: what?
Shawn: I don’t get it why add the EXTRA u when it’s PERFECTLY FINE AS IT IS!?
Lassiter: You done now?
Shawn: Yeah ok.
Lassiter and Juliet:
Shawn: ...Can I have the Mint Chocolate chip flavour?

Gus: What did Shawn text you?
Lassiter: 'I can't believe I miss you this much after just three hours'
Juliet: And what did you send back?
Lassiter: 'Haha lame'
Juliet:

Lassiter: I was flirting

Trout: It's been brought to my attention that I offended some of you. I'm truly sorry, I meant to offend all of you.
If any show deserved an alternate universe where it's all a show episode it was psych. Shawn and Gus would've KILLED in the psych version of the French mistake
