Okay, see I thought he said angsty too - but he says TASTY?
HE WOULD.
That man makes me SICK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
God I feel your anguish about Psych so much that it hurts. I’m also on the latter parts of season 5, but motivating myself to actually go through them is just so hard. Like Shawn was so smart and unique, noticing all the little things and making connections, but then he just became so dumb in the end that i was like,,,, why??? He just stumbles and tramples around places and then suddenly the case is solved 😭. And Gus was just reduced to a comedic sidekick, who’s always hitting on the ladies? Just there for the jokes. And Juliet became The Girlfriend. Just there cuz she’s the girlfriend. And Lassiter too. He was a very complex and interesting character but became a gun toting republican or something lmfao. There are definitely some cool episodes where they tried out interesting things, but the character dynamic that I fell in love with is just not there :(
Anyways sorry for rambling in your inbo haha
analysis and discussion are always welcome in my inbox and also commiseration over our shared pain. 🥺😩 you get me and im sorry we gotta suffer like this
I’ve found tho that having a watch buddy does wonders for getting me through episodes because at least i have someone to yell at real time. maybe that could help you push through??
Which like!! They made Shawn a ditzy goofball facsimile of what he used to be in the early seasons by the end. Season 7 has been like a parody of psych produced by the people that made psych. That’s what i have to tell myself to get my brain to calm down enough that i can just watch it and try to find little bits of amusement and not just frown at my screen for 40 minutes.
But yeah, they basically commit character assassination on the whole cast and do them so damn dirty. The humor also just seems to degrade and that’s why we’re tossed these gag scraps of humor instead of the more substantial and amusing feel good packed early season episodes encapsulated. Which was so amazing to me!! early season psych is such a feel good show where these characters paly off each other so well and create this fun interesting energy while investigating these mysteries with good pacing to allow the story to be character driven and attend to both a main plot and the general byplay. Meanwhile, s7 is entirely driven by story beats with no breathing room, no resting, no byplay. only short gag jokes that skip to the next scene. 7x02 nearly sent me into a conniption fit, ngl, with the major mishandling of nearly everything imo. There’s all these fun concepts they have that just fall flat to me due to poor execution and it’s such a god damn shame because we literally know they can do better because we’ve seen seasons 1-4.
and the CONTRADICTIONS the writing hits us with the longer the series goes on 😩😩😩 that’s just bad/lazy writing. really, the character degradation is that too. they dumbed everyone down and flattened them out to make it easier to write them instead of having to maintain complex and interesting characters that existed outside of a gag
no need to apologize, im known for going off so like. i feel u. we good.
Devotion
Arya and Brienne both would murder her if they knew Sansa was outside the walls of Winterfell without guard, much less after dark. Beasts, man and animal alike, roam the land, emboldened by the fading light and warmth: summer is long dead and buried under ice.
It is quite foolish indeed, but Sansa’s need for peace, outweighs her caution. Besides, she knows she won’t be alone. She never is; not anymore.

The Who -- Underture
It's not a Who song that gets a lot of praise, but I really love Underture
The gentle intro, the rising tension in the bridges, and a specific fondness for the strumming ending the first part. It all fits the cover art in Tommy both for the peaceful blue sky but for the black diamonds during the turbulent segments.
It encapsulated a lot of the calmer, introspection of the era's counterculture, and it still has a storytelling I rarely feel in instrumentals
