As it appears that BigKitty75, who has always started these discussion threads, has been deleted (?) I felt that I would continue the tradition and make sure to get the topic thread up so everyone can have somewhere to discuss the upcoming episode!!

I'm still a bit hung up on the Lassy/Lassie lack of continuity. Yea, I think Lassie is better, but they totally showed *Shawn* (who is the champion of the nickname) writing it as "Lassy" in He Loves Me, He Loves Me Not.

Yeah, I don't know how I got deleted! I didn't even know I got deleted until I logged on today! I did not realize you started this discussion until I posted mine! I hope some one will combine mine with yours. Help USA Adminstrator!

This looks like it could be a fun episode. I just wish we could of seen a preview for it.

Go to the home page, with your volume on. Look for the video down a little ways on the side.

Awesome. Thanks.

I was hoping it would of been on right after the new episode.

Sorry! No worries, we'll figure it out... and I'll leave the duties to you know that I know you haven't actually disappeared

I'm personally really excited to see Lassie (my vote for spelling) and Shawn interact in a new way. Usually Lassie resents Shawn's involvement, even when he knows he needs it. Lassie seems to have a sort of low self-confidence, and he doesn't like feeling as if someone else has outdone him, so he always puts on the tough-guy act to assure everyone that he's still in charge. That's why he gets such an ego when he solves a case by himself. And he always goes by the book to assure himself that he has the law on his side.

But now, he's out of his element, the law is against him, and he's desperate, so he's turning to Shawn. Shawn clearly has the upper hand here; Lassie's at his mercy. I'm excited to see the more vulnerable side to his character, the one who ultimately respects Shawn's abilities a great deal--the one who complimented Shawn while drunk in "Forget Me Not." Lassie will have to accept the fact that Shawn is not below him, but is in fact his equal. Will this earn Shawn any more respect?

Also, I'm curious as to how much Lassie will get to experience Shawn's real crime-solving process. I wonder if he'll get to see how Shawn's mind works and how he really solves crimes--when Shawn takes a case personally, he tends to tone down the psychic-y antics because they just seem disrespectfully goofy. I'm not saying he'll admit he's not psychic--nor should he!--but if he keeps Lassie clued in on his discoveries, Lassie will get to see a bit more of how Shawn processes clues, which could be fun because I want Shawn's intelligence to get the respect it deserves. Personally, I think Lassie already pretty much knows Shawn is faking it. He just accepts what Shawn does because he needs him.

Anyway, looks like a great episode!!

[font="Arial"]It sounds Really good!!!
Im glad Lassie ( perfered speling also) has so much air time. There isn't really one episode (yet) that is just about lassie.
I Cant Wait!![/font]

Im really excited too!

Though for some reason, i was thinking that next weeks episode would be "Tuesday the 17th" so i was really looking forward to Justine Bateman...oh well, lol!

I wish there would've been a commercial for it though. I already saw the preview on the countdown, so that was slightly dissappointing...

Still, cant wait. Great way to end a week of midterms!

there's a commercial for it now. I don't know why they didn't air it during/ right after "Six Feet Under the Sea," but it's airing now. It looks promising.
check out this little exchange:

Shawn: Of course we'll help you, you're like a brother to us!
Gus: umm...
Shawn: step-brother?
Gus: umm...
Shawn: weird kid who lives down the street and eats nothing but mayonnaise on saltines?

I can't wait!!! And oh, I am so incredibly, ridiculously, hardly-able-to-contain-myself excited for Tuesday the 17th. I think it's worth waiting till friday the 13th for that one. James Roday is so talented, I'm sure he'll nail directing. I'm interested to see his vision for the show. But till then, we'll enjoy as Lassie does something bad. And then next week, the football episode!

Yeah, this episode is featured as TV Guide hot spot! Tim will really get a chance to shine! And I don't think Shawn will allow Lassie in his process because he did not allow Juliet in his process when they worked the roller derby case together in "Talk Derby to Me". I love the reference to Thundercats!


Yeah, it will be great to see Justine play Lassie's wife, Victoria! But USA put this episode on Friday the 13th! I love it!


No, next week episode is the arson episode. The football episode will air the Friday before the Super Bowl since NBC, which Universal owns with USA Network, is carrying it this year.

I'm going to join those excited for Tuesday the 13th. An episode that turned out way scarier then they expected? Sounds awesome!!!!!! I can't wait to see James' talent on directing! I don't want to wait until friday the 13th to watch it but i know it will be worth the wait!!

right, sorry, I guess I miscalculated how long we have till the super bowl. I forgot they always take a week off between conference championships and the actual super bowl. in that case, yay for the arson episode!

Tuesday the 17th actually yes i'm looking forward to it but also

i feel like a mean person i'm excited because lassie's acused of murder and monk gets shot awesome!!! yet i still feel mean for thinking that to be exciting and awesome

I'm so so so excited for this episode. It'll be nice to watch after a lonnggg week.

BigKitty, I haven't been around these parts lately. Hope you're doing well!

I can't wait!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

2 more days!!!!!!!

yay new episode friday is coming

I'm so excited for this episode! I'm always happy to see Lassie getting more screen time. Plus, I love Shawn & Lassie interaction. I don't know, there's just something so amusing about how Shawn can push his buttons so well. xD

I totally agree! I love any Shawn/Lassie interactions (especially because then I can put on my Shassie colored glasses and think happy thoughts).

Oh, my. You have Shassie colored glasses, too? Glad to see I'm not the only one on here with a pair. 8D

I prefer "Lassie" as well. Also, IMHO, although Shawn wrote "Lassy" in one of the episodes, it seems like it would be in his character to write whatever spelling he felt like at that particular moment. I don't think Shawn would've put much thought into it when writing that note, and I would not be suprised if one day we see him spell it the "Lassie" way too!

Good point--and Shawn may be willing to save even the smallest amount of time in a "Psychic Haze" is shave a letter off here or there

Oh, and I'll admit, I may be hung up on the Lassy/Lassie thing--only because if they ever mention the "Watch out for the bloggers" comment about it in a commentary (and I'm a commentary whore), I can delude myself into thinking they were talking about me

I am fine, it's just weird to be listed deleted. How are you? I hope you are keeping warm in the Windy City! And who is in your avatar? Either I need a new eyeglasses or the picture is out of focus.

In the meantime, today is the day that Lassiter will need team Psych to help him through. If you have seen the commericals, Lassie (the spelling I always preferred and is in the book that is out in bookstores right now) must turn in his badge! The episode is going to rock!

yay only three and a half hours left ok so thre hours and 44 mins

2hrs!!!!

This episode wins at life!

slasssy slassy - slassy reference

I'm so excited!!!!!!!!!! Less than 2 hours for me!!!

Great episode, I think Lassie definitely has a lot of respect, maybe even friendship for Shawn now. Also the influx of Juliet hints in these previous two episodes are sweet.

Moving ahead a little bit to the future Tuesday the 17th episode, I'm speculating what would happen if Shawn helped Lassie resolve his marriage issue with his estranged wife :0 That probably won't happen but who knows?

Overall, I think these episodes get better and better or maybe its just me because I love this show.

i loved this episode a good plot funny lines and what can i say this was a great episode that i am at a lack of words right now i was not expecting this at all it was great

this one was reallllyyy good!!
one of my favorite!!!

So....Shawn took that punch like a champ, and the fact that he continued to be a smartass toward the bad cop was awesome. Can't wait for the season finale...looks to be a great one.

OT: 1st post, totally didn't know that if you were registered at the SciFi forums it was the same here. . .weird. . .

Okay, first of all, what? I'm kinda confused. What is the Tuesday the 17th thing ya'll are talking about?

About the episode tonight. . .WOW. This episode was amazing! I gasped both times when Shawn was hit (hopelessly in love XD) and when that guy said that Lassiter and Shawn were lovers, and Shawn, bent over and holding his head, "Lovers? Really?" This eo was pure win from beginning to end, which really made my night, after a very sub-par Monk.

i haven't posted on here in awhile but dude i loved this episode soooo much. it was amazing. i will totally be watching it again and every time USA decides to air it. amazing amazing job they did with this one.
next week also looks awesome.
=D

next weeks does look good!!!
btw(random.haha)-the fan(s) of the week r sooooo adorable!!!
love the pictures!!! But its not up on the main page yett???

Lassie Did a Bad, Bad Thing was a good, GOOD episode. This was Tim Omundson's best episode, and I thank the writers for giving Tim the chance to shine.
Loved the Shawn and Lassie scenes.

Some great lines in this, with a good mix of fun and seriousness.

I wasn't prepared for just how serious things got. I let out a loud shriek of surprise when the bad guy knocked out poor Shawn, and then they cut to a COMMERCIAL! I was on the edge of my seat waiting to see what happened next. What followed was IMHO the best part of the show. Shawn kept talking nonstop, trying to keep the bad guy from killing him; Shawn got hit AGAIN! and the hurt/comfort junkie in me was well fed. The bad guy's idea for Lassiter to leave a suicide note including a line that Shawn and Lassie were lovers was a happy-making gift to the slashers.

I was glad to see a bit of comfort along with the Shawn hurt. Henry went directly to Shawn to see if he was okay, and Shawn nearly passed out in his Dad's arms.

So much to love about this episode

What were the subtle Shules hints I keep hearing about?

Awesome episode. I'm a dude, and Shawn's like my hero, so I got very angry when he hit Shawn. Very angry. I also liked how he continued to be classic smart-ass Shawn with references and everything at gunpoint. Also, I think one of my new favorite lines comes from this episode.

Shawn: "Who are you the Great Gatsby? Maybe later we'll go swan watching with Daisy Buchanon"
Gus: "Wow, Where did you get that one?"
Shawn: "8th grade summer reading...whaaaat?

The way Shawn says what is hilarious. Awesome episode, just don't hurt Shawn so much.

BigKitty--I met Jeffrey Donovan about a week ago.

In regards to this episode...I absolutely loved it. It was so well done.

The interaction between the characters was wonderful. I'm a sucker for Shawn and Gus working with/and helping Lassiter. It was interesting to see Lassiter in this sort of position and Tim acted the heck outta this. Kudos!

Kenny Loggins references...amazing.

Shawn and Gus running after the numerous food vendors cracked me up.

Henry being protective.

Oh and second week in a row that we had Shawn/Jules stuff popping up, I'm definitely not complaining dude.

I gasped when Shawn got socked. That was hardcore, then him getting pistol whipped. James acted that well too, the way he came out of that daze, he really go into that.

Again, I can't stress enough how much I loved this episode. The writing was wonderful, good job to Tim & Kell for teaming up and writing this great script. It flowed so well and was non-stop from beginning to end. Then to the cast because it was such a great character piece everyone brought their A game.

There's probably moments I'm leaving out...but it's after 1

I loved this episode!!!!! There was a perfect mixture of funny and serious. Lassie did the best in this episode and I loved watching him and Shawn. They were adorable!

highlights:

Shawn getting hit...TWICE (I was not expecting this and all during the commercial I kept on saying how much that must have hurt. then he hit him again and you could see that Lassie was scared that he might hurt shawn more. it was a great scene for both shawn and lassie)

the jackel switch: priceless

gus and henry being scared when they couldn't find shawn

shawn's vision at the police station with gus and juliet

Lassie having bought a pineapple

these are all i could think of right now but there are much more! Can't wait for next week! The episodes just keep getting better and better


p.s. I creeped myself out during the episode. when shawn, gus, and the cheif were in Lassie's house and they were told that Lassie did have gun shot residue found on his hands I immediatly said "well duh!"(i knew this because if someone fired a gun that close to him, then he would have gun shot residue on him but it doesn't mean that he shot the gun) I ended up saying it at the PERCISE moment that shawn said the exact same thing. my sister just stared at me and we were amazed! I was very creepy. my mom just said that i watch Psych to much

Tuesday the 17th is an upcoming episode that Steve Franks and James Roday wrote and James directed about a camp counselors on a lake. Now if you know anything about the movie Friday the 13th well we all think this episode is going to be great; especially when it airs on Friday the 13th!



I know! I probably can't listen to another Kenny Loggins song without laughing. And my daughter loves Fununs! Right now, I am watching it again because it is so awesome. The balance of serious and laughs were great. Lassie's place was funny how he had pictures of criminals on the wall. Shawn dissing Lassie's psych eval when I said right to the tv: your mom did that! Tim shine! Everyone brought their a game! One of the best episode of the season!

Not to be a bother, but what were the Shules references, exactly? I only saw like, maybe one very small thing...

Since the beginning when Shawn met Juliet at the diner in Spellingg Bee, these two have been flirting with one another. Shawn was hurt this season when Juliet dated Cameron Luntz. Shawn told Juliet that his fling with Gus' sister was way before he met her. In this episode and last week episode, other people have been telling Shawn to be patient with Juliet. As April told him last week, they will get there. Now this week, Shawn was asked if he and Juliet were an item, because Juliet talks about him all the time! So keep watching, Shules is going to happen. Be patient!

I've said this on many topics. The writer's intention is to keep them flirting for awhile so don't expect them to get together soon at all.

Just finished watching this ep (thank God for Hulu) and... what wonderfulness!

First, didn't even need Shassie colored glasses because the writers wrote it in! Seriously, Lassie in Shawn's shirt? Lovers? Banter and all that goodness? Gotta love these writers.

Second, just... such a great episode for Lassie. I love Tim and this episode had him at his best... he was perfect! Looking forward to Tuesday the 17th and seeing him with his estranged wife.

Third, some great lines. "Think you can... think you can... think you can..." "Flip the jackal switch." "Danger Zone." And so many more... not to mention some great callbacks to other episodes and lines. Oh, and he Flashdance move! Though it really meant nothing... so perfect and great--and also got back to some of the "psychic vibration/episode" physicality.

Great episode overall!!

I agree, I can probably make a general guess about the season finale shules scenario. Abigail (Rachel Leigh Cook comes back) and then Jules catches Shawn and Abigail's romance, and Shawn and Juliet get into a fight, where Juliet gets hurt this time. Both Shawn and Juliet decide to only be friends for now and this ends the season. I'm getting prepared for this because I have a feeling this will inevitably happen

great, great ep. am I the only one who was totally expecting those punches? maybe I watch too much Alias...

my top 2 moments:
1) the jackal switch...AMAZING!!! Dulé hill is so great at comedy; I love that he's not always just playing the straight man to james roday's goofiness.

2) this whole interaction. james and Dulé nailed the delivery.
Shawn: "You really wanna know our process?"
Lassie: "Yes."
Shawn: "Well it starts with a 'HOLLA' and it ends with a creamsicle."
Gus: "And if there's time in between: Thudercats. ho-ooooh!!"

KellyQ, I agree with you about Dulé. He is too funny. I am so happy to have gotten a chance to see his funny side. He's good at comedy.

I use to watch Thundercats, when I was younger. I loved that cartoon.

Shawn would be lost without Gus.

I'm rewatching the episode and I forgot about 2 other funny moments:
Shawn: "I can't believe you thought that text was from me. It had none of my trademark sarcasm and was completely devoid of emoticons."

Gus: "How do you share a popsicle?"
Shawn: "I take a lick, you take a lick, I take a lick, you take a lick, I take a lick--"
Gus: "It's yours."
