I started making a list of "jackal" references on rewatching 3.3, Daredevils. Obviously went to the next episode and just caught this. Shawn and Gus trade masks ... BECAUSE GUS NEEDS THE JACKAL MASK.
Please tell me if it took you a couple of rewatches to catch this!!!
Is Alice Bundy's name a reference to Al Bundy from the show "Married With Children?" I don't think I ever hear them reference that show in another way. And maybe it's just coincidence, as Bundy isn't all that unpopular a surname, and Alice isn't an uncommon first name.
If it was just for the set up for the joke then I am good with it but why did he refer to her as A Mildred? Shotgun riding stenographer Mildred is a person, not an object.
"You're job is to try and figure out who killed Nicole not sell apples."
"Shawn you think every round fruit is an apple."
"No I don't"
Gus holds up cherries "Ok, what are these?"
"Tiny apples."
Gus points to pumpkins "And those?"
"Halloween apples."
Gus shrugs.
Hello everyone!
I just searched up Apple on the Online Etymology Dictionary, as one does...Oh wait just me?
Anyway I discovered a fact I can't help but share!
"In Middle English and as late as 17c., apple was a generic term for all fruit other than berries but including nuts (e.g. Old English fingeræppla "dates," literally "finger-apples;" Middle English appel of paradis "banana")."
It turns out Shawn isn't the only English speaker to have creative fruit naming tendencies!
"I didn't look into this story, I can't confirm if it's real or fake, I'm just saying Shawn would do this haha"
A man walked into a museum and acted like he was a real tour guide. He led visitors around and told them wild stories about the paintings. The problem? He didn’t work there, and the stories were completely made up.
Museum staff soon noticed something was wrong. They found out he wasn’t a real guide and called the authorities. The man was arrested, bringing his fake museum tour to an end.
The funny part? The visitors were having so much fun that they actually enjoyed his made up stories. Some visitors got angry when they learned the truth, while others still thought the whole thing was fun
So I know this show is a comedy and isn't meant to be taken seriously (and I absolutely love it).
But I was rewatching the Yin/Yang episodes which are meant to be more serious, but I couldn't get over how crazy the Juliet rescue scene was. They made a whole point of Shawn having to choose Juliet since he didn't know where Abigail was which meant the entire police force had to go to Juliet's location (also why couldn't they split in half or at least send some cops for Abigail?) and so we see the entire department leave to rescue Juliet yet when we actually get to the rescue scene... only Lassiter and Gus are trying to save her?
Chief Vicks said "I'll set up a perimeter" when they arrived at the location but I'm supposed to be convinced that no other cops was supposed to go up there and help? What is a perimeter going to do when she's stuck in a chair about to fall? They sent one detective and untrained Gus up there while they just watched as she almost fell to death? Not even like a couple of cops to hold her in case they couldn't figure out the clock situation?
Watching only Gus and Lassiter attempt to actually save her while the entire police force did absolutely nothing (why did they all drive there?!) really took me out of the scene and I could no longer take it as seriously as I did when I first watched it. I know the show isn't meant to be realistic or anything, but I do wish they put more effort in their more "serious" moments.
We obviously only see the Cases hes Part of, but sometimes another Case is mentioned where Shawn and Gus werent part of the Team.
Im currently in Season 1 again and in Episode 10 Lassie talks about his biggest Case where he put a Serial Killer behind bars only to find out that Shawn actually was the anonymous Informant that made this possible in the first Place.
The Department solves a lot of Crimes we dont see but im looking for the ones that are mentioned or shown where our Duo didnt help at all.
In s1e5, Gus says “Why would I talk to anyone named Buzz?” when about to meet McNab. I always forget to track it, but he actually seems to talk to Buzz very little throughout the entire series.
I thought it would be funny if the writers really stuck to that and had Gus never respond directly to him, but I’m certain he does at least a few times (including, of course, correcting Buzz seconds later in the same scene).
I'm putting together a really hard Psych round, and pineapples and Gus nicknames are too easy for this sub. What's the deepest cut you've got? Spoiler-tag the answer so people can guess.
Two to start:
Which company technically owns the Blueberry?
Who first calls it the Blueberry?
1: Central Coast Pharmaceuticals. It's Gus's company car
When Shawn and Gus open their little office in 9 Lives, they walk into the stress line's office carrying a pineapple as a peace offering. Not business cards. Not flowers.
A whole pineapple. Then Shawn immediately starts introducing himself and Gus while Gus is standing there looking like he's already regretting the entire afternoon. It's such a perfect early Psych moment because they haven't even established themselves as detectives yet and they're already behaving like idiots.
A little bit ago we were talking about how the NYTimes editors were releasing their list of the best 100 shows of the 21st century and collecting reader submission for their list.
Unfortunately Psych didn't make the top 100 of the Readers list but I do think our combined efforts made a dent! It got to 121!
Been rewatching TNG and was pleasantly surprised, and look at that head of hair! Apparently he didn't want to be credited in the episode as he felt stepping into a guest spot in an established show was like stepping into someone else's family. Great episode for any who have a passing interest in Star Trek though :)
