C'mon, son




As I have mentioned before, I freaking love Psych. 

Psych is one of my all time favorite TV shows, it makes me.... very happy.

And now that I have seen the final season and the final episode, I feel highly motivated to do a review on it.



Summary:

Shawn Spencer is an incredibly observant person who cons the police into thinking he's psychic. With the help of his best friend Burton Guster, and his ability to notice the tiniest details, Shawn opens a private detective agency and embeds himself into world of solving crimes, eating countless snacks, and making random pop-culture references. 
(And I apologize for that excessively rubbish summary. I am bad at them.)


Apparently I love detective shows. I love Monk, and Numb3rs, Sherlock.... Psych.

I like the idea of good guys catching bad guys and sticking them in prison forever. It makes me happy inside.

So Psych is kind of a perfect show for me, because it combines hilarity, cleverness, character development, and detectives all into one.

Like my other review, I'm going to list the stuff I need to warn you about first.

1.) The occasional inappropriate scene. (But they are few and far between, one per season at most.)
2.) Sometimes the dialogue gets off-color.
3.) There are some gay references.
4.) Once in a while there is an impressive kiss scene.

But then we have the good...

In between the lines, there's a lot of obscurity, 
I'm not inclined to resign to maturity
If I'm all right. Then you're all wrong.    
Why bounce around to the same old song? 
Who'd rather run when you can crawl?
I know, you know, that I'm not telling the truth, 
I know, you know, they just don't have any proof.  
Embrace the deception, learn how to bend.  
Your worst inhibitions, they will PSYCH you out in the end.
      
1.) It's a detective show. With a pretend psychic who does this:

I'm having a vision.

Shawn is one of those characters you can't help but like. He's such an idiot, but he's so smart at the same time. Yes, he's insanely immature in the first couple seasons... but it's funny, so it's okay. He has a knack for getting out of intense situations and by being a weirdo. But he's brave, and he's loyal, and when he's not acting like a fool, he's really sweet. (He makes me laugh, so that always make me like people more.) He's aweeesome.




2.) It has a really awesome friendship stories.






3.) It's hilarious.


4.) Shawn and Gus grow up quite a bit... well, as much as their characters can grow up without changing.


5.) A likeable female lead (who holds her gun right and causes me do dance in delight).



She is so cute and spunky. She's brave and tough, but not in an annoying way. She's feminine, but not girly, and honestly, she is just so adorable. :)



6.) Lassie.

Lassie ended up being one of my favorite characters. He's just so awesome. And mean. And nice.



7.) Did I mention that the show is also hilarious?





8.) I won't mislead you though, in the first couple seasons especially, Shawn and Gus are less mature than my nieces.



But they grow up a bit.

9.) The friendship stories that develop and progress are really fun. They're nice friendships that come slowly and aren't forced.





10.) The finale was perfect. The last season was actually pretty perfect. (There was that one, random, Walking Dead episode that I did not understand, but was suitably creeped out by.) The final season was both mind-numbingly funny and bittersweet because it was Psych, but the whole season was kind of wrapping up the stories. AND EXCUSE ME, I HATE ENDINGS.


That being said, I'm not going to give any spoilers, but I will say that the last episode was probably one of my all-time favorite series finales. It didn't feel like an end so much as a new beginning, which left you hopeful. (Including a subtle Monk reference that I freaked out over.)
Everything that I wanted to happen in the finale happened, and the more I think about it, the more I like it.

I already own most of the series, but honestly, I'm planning on collecting them all.

On a scale of 1 to 10, I'd rate Psych a 10. It's one of my favorite shows. It's a comfort show. It's the show I go to when I need to unwind or be cheered up. (Like, after I watch Supernatural, Psych is the best thing to go to because it makes me forget that Sam and Dean are dead/dying/demons.)


I totally recommend it. I think it's one of the cleanest TV series out there right now, and honestly... how could you not want to watch it when this happens every episode?



It's on Netflix.




Why are you still here?

Picture Saturday-- Odds and ends


BOOM! An entrance Kuzco could be proud off. (Hurhurhur)

This whole new laptop thing is tricky, because the mousepad is in the wrong spot and I keep scrolling. And it is so annoying.

Anyway, Picture Saturday is back!


Mostly, it's all artwork that I did for Jack after reading her newest rough draft. (I am obsessed. I am freaking her out with how obsessed.) So if you guys don't care for these as much, I get it. :)


I'm not wild about these too... but... I figured I'd post them anyway.

Those are lyrics from the Jekyll and Hyde musical. FYI.


Yeah. *cough* And I have more ideas for others to draw. I need a life.

And then we have the pitcher that I actually really hate. Like.... the whole picture is just wrong

Theeeen we have the really awkward one that I'm embarrassed to post. It's.... dark. I was feeling angry when I drew it. Don't you judge me. 

I DON'T KNOW WHY. I DON'T KNOW WHO THEY ARE.
BUT SHE'S DEAD AND IT'S SAD. 


But on a happier note, we have the adorable couple. I love couples! (they remind me a little of Percy and Annabeth, but I didn't intend them to.)

 Run.

And last but not least.... (And my favorite this week...) We have the quote that Amy asked me to illustrate.


I'm currently working on another picture collage like the Dance, Sing, Love one that I drew a few weeks ago. This one's about baseball. It's going to be fun. Anticipate! Eagerly! Lalalala!

Which drawing is your favorite? Did the death one freak you out?

Cheers!

Hai.


Five Random Facts:

1.) I have a laptop again!

I bought it. With my own money. (BECAUSE I WAS DESPERATE.)

This means blogging, and commenting, and emailing again.

I feel like I ought to say goodbye to my old one though. (maybe then, when I turn it on to get my pictures off... it won't... kill me.)

Apologies for the cruddy picture quality. *mobiles*

Dear Old Laptop,
I feel like I will miss you. (But, I'm not going to lie, you were kind of a pain the whole time we knew each other. Like... what was the deal with overheating and freaking out? I had to send you in for repairs twice, what's with that?) I liked your pretty design --butterflies are always awesome-- and how fast you were. I really liked how you operated with Windows 7, because Windows 7 is my favorite. If you hadn't sabotaged our relationship, I think we would have lasted a long time. But you kept having issues. I guess what I'm trying to say is, it's not me, it's you. 

Dear New Laptop, 
Still not sure about you. I mostly really like you, you're fast, you're sleek, you're black... black like the night. Batman would approve. You're bigger than I'm used to, though. But your keyboard gives me shivers of delight, and you're so quiet, it's a dream. I need to get used to Windows 8, because I don't like Windows 8. So you and me.... we need to get to know each other before I can decide if I'm head-over-heels in love with you. 


2.) Bella and I video-chatted with Jack, and it was fun. (Naturally.... I mean, it was Jack.) At one point, Bella brought out Henry the Hedgehog, and Jack brought out Sammy the Moose, and we had them say hi, and it was cute. 


3.) I made a ton of boutonnieres for someone's wedding today. I AM AWESOME. 

4.) We finished the final episode of Psych this week.


I think I might have to do a review on Psych, because I kind of like doing reviews, when I'm in the mood. It's one of my favorite TV shows, and I think the series finale was fantastic. Everything I wanted to happen happened and that made my day. 


5.) Here are some random pictures that I took. (If you want more, you can follow me on instagraaaaam!)






   
That's it. That's all I've got. YAY for new laptops, and camera phones. 

Cheers and God bless.
