The ”Ashley Simms, have you seen her? If you’ve seen her, call this number!”song is going to be stuck in my head forever now, unfortunately.

[comeoveragain]

taking a short break from Tumblr for most of January!! Prepare yourselves mentally because High Potential will be airing again and I will be INSUFFERABLE

one relationship i really wish psych explored more is gus and juliet. they're always around, I know. a lot of the time they're both exchanging commiserating looks while shawn is getting up to whatever he's getting up to. once in a while they get paired up briefly, like in shawn takes a shot in the dark. there is, of course, "jules, will you marry us?" and I love that, but like, I want something more substantial. they both know juliet is shawn's girlfriend and gus is his wife and they've all been cool with it from day one, no questions, and it fascinates me. I want gus and juliet to go on a whole solo adventure together and solve a crime and each learn one (1) important thing about each other nonromantically in some sort of dire circumstance before stylishly kicking the crap out of a gunman while shawn is otherwise indisposed raking leaves for his dad or figuring out who's stealing the newspapers out of his neighbor's driveway or leaving little origami frogs around the police station to confuse lassiter or something

In my psych mail I asked what people would have loved to have seen in the show and honestly for me it is just this. I think the closest we come to Gus and Juliet interacting is in ‘A Very Juliet Episode’ with the vault of secrets and I would have loved that explored more especially before Shawn ans Juliet got together because there is a lot of unspoken ‘I know my best friend has a crush on you/I know your best friend has a crush on me’ but finding out more about eachother other than them both knowing Shawn.

Also Shawn could still be an A storyline and have Jury Duty where people know he is psychic but he is the only not guilty vote and he has to prove he is right using evidence while still needing people to think he is psychic.

this one clip has been FRYING ME for 24 hours

I could write heaps of essays on Wake Up Dead Man as an aspiring pastor/chronically ill person/murder mystery fan, but none of it would matter as much as that scene with Louise.

[comeoveragain]

I intentionally try NOT to solve murders on TV because I like to just enjoy them, but unfortunately Pattern Recognition Go Crazy. So what ends up happening is that I usually know who the murderer is within minutes, but couldn’t tell you why

[may-darling]

I love the symbolism of the jewel becoming part of the new cross after the events of Wake up dead man. I am literally chewing dry wall over how perfect this ending is for Jud Duplenticy, specifically.

Throughout the movie Jud keeps repeating that religion should not centralise the ego, hatred and violence. It should centralise community, love and acceptance in line with the teachings of Jesus. And then Jud takes this jewel that has caused so much pointless violence within the community. That has caused so much pointless violence against him. And what does he do? He gives it to Jesus.

He doesn’t keep it for himself, he doesn’t throw it away or give it to the church. No, he gives it to Jesus. Jesus who internalised all sin to give the world a clean slate after his death. Jesus who forgave humanity.

Jud forgives and lets go of the grief the community and church brought him. He acknowledges the sins his community and his church have committed and counters the hatred and violence with love. Because that’s what Jesus believed in. That’s what he fundamentally believes in. He is not here to “fight the wicked or bring them to justice”, but “to serve them and bring them back to Christ”

By “displaying” the stone as the heart of Christ Jud also buckles down on his belief that we need to openly acknowledge our shame and not hide it away. We should not let it fester until it consumes everything good in us, but acknowledge and accept it as a part of us. Because God acknowledges and accepts it as a part of us.

It’s a poignant callback to the exchange between him and Benoit Blanc where the detective accuses him of only joining the church, because it gave him a place to hide from his mistakes and to get a clear way to absolution. And Jud, who has openly talked about the mistakes that lead to him joining the church from the very beginning of the movie, counters that he didn’t find his way to god, because he wanted to find absolution.

He says he made these mistakes with open eyes, but that his faith helped him acknowledge those mistakes. He believes that his mistakes don’t condemn him for eternity in the eyes of God. He believes that God does not hide or fix people who have made mistakes. He believes that God loves people when they are guilty.

So he takes this jewel that has been tainted by violence and hatred. That represents the sins of the community. And makes it the heart of Jesus. Symbolically the community is not only forgiven, but also told they are loved even though they are guilty. Because that is the heart of Jesus’ teachings in Jud‘s eyes.

Thematically it fits so beautifully into Jud’s character arc. Honestly one of the most satisfying endings I have seen in a while

”Another Christmas in the trenches” is such an unbelievably hard line and for what? A ten-year-old? Thank you John Hughes

The duo ever

[lunadove]

High Potential Christmas ep. where Karadec gets bumped on the head during a case and wakes up in a world where Morgan didn’t get hired by the LAPD (aka “It’s a Wonderful Life”). He figures he’s dreaming bc he got knocked out, so he’ll figure out a way to make his brain wake up. Since he’s hallucinating a world without Morgan, he’ll just go find her, and that should do the trick.

Cue a very confused and not at all happy Morgan Gillory standing at her front door, trying to figure out why the heck this random cop is on her doorstep and telling her they’re partners.

Morgan ends up agreeing to consult on a case cause she needs money for her kids’ Christmas presents. She actually ends up enjoying consulting work, although she is weirded out by the detective who won’t stop giving her big, sad “Why don’t you remember me?” eyes.

(Bonus: Eventually they solve the case and Karadec wakes up.

Morgan, upon hearing his dream: You imagined a world where I didn’t get hired by the LAPD? Was it awful?

Karadec, a lying liar who spent the whole dream terrified he’d never get back to a world where he was partners with Morgan: Actually, it was quite peaceful.)

Leland revealing Monk is alive rather than listen to Randy’s (admittedly bangin’) song is peak.

[comeoveragain]

I know it isn’t a mystery series but have you watched MASH? Every time I see your profile I have to remind myself it isn’t Hawkeye.

I actually haven’t yet!! But it keeps getting brought up, so I think I need to 😂. Would you recommend it? I trust your taste!

[comeoveragain]

Sometimes I don’t say anything when my parents show me AI content because I feel like the grinch every time they’re excited to show me something and I have to tell them “that’s not real”

[comeoveragain]

people think that when I threaten to fight them it’s a weird personality quirk. Then they meet others from the east coast of the USA and realize it’s a culture.
