PSYCH MADE ME CRY. And then grin uncontrollably. And then cry more. And then laugh while crying.

And now it's the aftershow/cast reunion and I'm probably going to keep crying for a while.

Re: Tonight's Psych:

That was a bizarre idea brilliantly executed. I salute you, Psychwriters.

And now for some mood whiplash! But c'mon, every show should do a big, splashy musical episode.

Psych idk the numbers The Musical )

YOU GUYS THAT WAS AMAZING.

OH MY GOD THEY'RE IMMEDIATELY RERUNNING IT GUESS WHO IS WATCHING IT AGAIN?

The best part of this episode was the facial expressions, particularly those of Gus, Henry, and Swaggerty. Okay, mostly Gus. Dulé Hill, you have an excellent face, I don't mention that frequently enough.

As for the ending, I kind of wanted to shake both Shawn and Juliet. VICK ALREADY KNOWS, SHE JUST NEEDS TO BE ABLE TO MAINTAIN PLAUSIBLE DENIABILITY. (I realize that the show has not actually confirmed this, but, jeez, look at her face while Shawn is trying to spit it out; SHE KNOWS.)

I'm glad they didn't drag out the plotline of Juliet wanting Shawn to confess; I mean, it's a perfectly reasonable reaction for her to have, but on a Doylist level that would pretty much end the show. It's called Psych for a reason. At least they're not feuding anymore; maybe that will shift the focus away from their relationship again?

I missed the first ten minutes of this episode due to Inadequate Reasons, but even with that, it was pretty awesome. I'm coming around to Lassiter/Marlowe, I gotta say. And more McNab! ... quite a lot more McNab, if ya know what I mean.

(Also, Henry/Karen feelings and Karen/her husband feelings. WIN.)

AND THEN OH. That's been a long time coming but it didn't make it any less intense.

That's one way to shake up the status quo...

Well. That was a shippy episode.

You realize that is the coolest dude in the whole wide world.

(Also I really like Gus/Rachel okay.)

See, now I just really want to watch Clue.

(It was really good! Psych in top form! But now I really want to watch Clue.)

My main thought after tonight's episode of Psych is that we need more Henry episodes. Or not even Henry-centric episodes, just lots of episodes with Henry-heavy storylines.

If this is wrong I don't want to be right.

So I'm pretty sure I missed some jokes due to never having seen The Blair Witch Project? But that was still a completely excellent episode.

And then they played Yoshimi Vs. The Pink Robots and I just grinned forever.

Recursive: 40,209. So that's not going to badly.

I've shelved One Spared To The Sea for the time being. I don't know, something else might happen with it, but not at the moment.

In other news, Ion is having a marathon of old Psych episodes, so that's making me happy. ♥

First, NaNo:

Recursive: Currently at 13,013 words and (hopefully temporarily) blocked. Luka is on the verge of death in a hallway no one else can get to and he doesn't have the energy to go anywhere else. I am not sure how this happened nor how I can fix it. SOMEHOW IT WILL GET FIXED. I hope.

One Spared To The Sea: Currently at 10,542 and despite being about 3K words behind Recursive I'm feeling a lot better about it at the moment. Kate and Máirín have finally met properly and Máirín's coat has been stolen and hidden and they are not getting along well at all. So, that's got a little momentum starting to build up.


Second, TV:

My Little Pony: Today's was a RARITY EPISODE. I AM SO HAPPY. Rarity and Sweetie Belle! Srs, this episode filled me with so many happy feelings I can't even express them. TO THE SPA.

Grimm: So I gave this a shot. Two episodes' worth, anyway. I'm not feeling it. I don't know if it's the characters, the concepts, or that I just don't need another vaguely supernatural-influenced crime procedural in my life, but I'm not feeling it. I might give it another episode to catch me or I might not.

Once Upon A Time: I also gave this two episodes' worth of a shot, and I'm loving it so far. Everything about it. The characters, the concept, the worldbuilding, the relationships, the potential. Although right now I'm kind of feeling like it would've been better off a self-contained miniseries, given the way the plot seems to be shaping up; I'm open to being proved wrong.

Psych: The superhero episode alternated between making me really happy (I love when the boys are massive dorks) and really annoyed (really, Tap Man? I know Gus loves his tap-dancing, but he loves his superheroes, too; he would've come up with something better). Still not enjoying the heavy-handedness of the Shawn/Juliet stuff, but whatever, it's not my ship and therefore I'm not the target audience. I still enjoy the show more than I get annoyed at it, so overall it's doing a lot better than most shows six seasons in.

Also, I've been doing sporadic marathons of Farscape and just finished season 4, and ARGH I FORGOT HOW AWESOME/HEART-BREAKING/SHOCKINGLY AMAZING "Bad Timing" IS. Everything from the "Previously On Farscape" montage to the silent credits. EVERYTHING ABOUT THAT EPISODE. Everything.
Now I just have the Peacekeeper Wars and I'll have finished my Farscape rewatch and won't have any excuse to put off shortening my "shows people keep recommending to me but I haven't watched yet" list.

So I've kind of failed at LJ lately, haven't I? I'M SORRY. D: I blame work. Between being too tired to post, having no time to post, and having nothing but work to talk about in a post, I've sort of let journaling fall by the wayside. BECAUSE I SUCK.

Anyway, here's what's going on with teh Chica outside of work:

- Most notably, I just spent wayyy too much money ordering a Sony VAIO laptop + accessories. On the "well, this is a reasonable expense" side, it was all money I'd been setting aside all summer for the express purpose of eventually buying a nice computer, and while Sally is still good to me and I have no intention of permanently retiring her just yet, I do really want a new laptop. One that's actually portable; it is sort of a ridiculous production trying to take Sally anywhere.
On the other side, SHIT $1,600 ON ONE PURCHASE and I'm going to be unemployed two weeks from now and oh God I finalized the purchase less than twenty minutes ago and shopper's remorse is already setting in. Fail, self.

- Currently airing shows I am watching:

Merlin - technically caught up on; not actually paying terribly much attention to what's going on this season. IDK, it's not holding me anymore. This may be because of the hack job the writers did to ALL OF THEIR CHARACTERS (but especially Morgana dammit).

Psych - Woo, Psych is back! The heavy-handed Shawn/Juliet isn't making me enthuse but EVERYTHING ELSE IS. I can even excuse the awful polygraph "I love her" scene where everyone looks SHOCKED AND STUNNED BECAUSE OMG SHAWN LOVES JULES, because the whole plot was kicked off by Shawn and Gus trying to get a kid's Darth Vader action figure back. Oh yes.

Sarah Jane Adventures - I can't believe it's almost over. :/ I keep getting caught up in plots and character-glee and then all of a sudden Sarah will say something and my brain will stop dead and go "LIS :( :( :(". Yes, just like that.
In actual story-related reactions, I have no strong feelings about Sky except that her intro story is entirely too much like Luke's -- it's awkward and weird to do it that way. But CLYDE. Clyde, you are lovely and you should be the next Doctor Who Companion Doctor anything you want to be, Clyde my boy.

...is that all the currently-airing stuff I'm watching right now? That's kind of depressing.

- I have recently and unexpectedly fallen in love with the movie Ondine. There may be some form of pimp post in the future. Probably picspam because it is such a ridiculously pretty movie. So keep an eye out for that.

- NaNoWriMo is coming up! And because I have no willpower and teh Niki is an enabler, I'm evidently going to be trying to do two novels simultaneously this year. WHAT THE HELL, ME. One's a time-travel story about a guy who loses his memory, the other's a mythpunk story about a selkie and the half-evil sorcerer who steals her skin. Yeah. I don't know either.

What have I missed while I was away, LJ? I PROMISE TO LOVE YOU BETTER NOW.

I feel like the Psych set must be one of the most awesome places on Earth to work. Seriously, it must be so much fun. "Guys, today we need to make Styrofoam snow and also a snowman Gus."

brief spoilers for Psych 5x14 The Polarizing Express )

Speaking more generally, was this episode specifically written to make me happy or what? ♥♥♥

and also Psych 5x15 Dead Bear Walking )

So, um. Good episode, just not ~fabulous~ like TPE was.

Air bump!

Is it just me or was Gus really kind of OOC for this episode? :|

Most of my word count yesterday came from Nalini giving Mila a big, dramatic, The Reason You Suck Speech, and now they're not really talking to each other and I'm having so much trouble getting anything to happen today. :| COME ON, NALINI, YOU WANTED TO BE A MAIN CHARACTER, NOW COOPERATE.

Also I'm watching Psych while trying to write. That's probably not helping my wordcount, either. spoilers for the return of Psych )
