#psych commentary 1x05

[psych---ologically-deranged]

I like Andry Berman

Shawn: I don't want to waste my one piece of broccoli! What's the smallest takeout box you have?

They liked Sage Brocks so much in the one scene in the pilot that they brought him back for the show <3

Little Boy Cat is intersex. It has xxy chromosomes.

The Bloggers!

SF: We generally just don't care.

JRr made up the majority of Dazzle & Stretch & the music ones just... put music to it. That's amazing. I love that. (like how the disclaimer song was made by lixian)

HOLY CRAP I DIDN'T EVEN NOTICE he stayed in the same key perfectly. I HATE it when people change keys in movies bc they don't hear what's going on. I mean, a semitone or less, fine that happens but I hate it, a third fourth or fifth because the harmony got you wrong, I get why it happens but I still hate it. I JUST CAN'T BELIEVE HOW MANY PEOPLE CAN'T SING! I mean, I grew up in a very musical family, my parents were together because they did music ministry, my dad learned guitar to impress my mom, I grew up volunteering at seniors' centres singing, I tune my violin my ear, in my head everyone should be able to stay somewhat in the same key, even if your voice trails higher or lower while you sing. I can't even make myself sing wrong. (I do sometimes by accident tho, usually when the jumps are odd & i can't find the harmony, & occasionally I get off by less than a semitone bc the note is just not quite on a place I can easily sing, so my voice slips off that tone into a tone I can sing that is very very close so maybe I'm not as good as I think, but I actually consider myself only an OK singer & musician, so if I'm only ok then I expect everyone else around me to be about the same level. It blows my mind that people are not. I guess I'm just used to being the worst in the room, not to show my chip or anything.

AB: This is one of four apartment buildings in all of Canada that can look like it's in Santa Barbara

He's only the heir to Mushroom Barley XD XD XD

KK: Always some sort of homoeroticism

Copaganda go die. Neurodivergent private investigators (Castle, Shawn, Watts & Murdoch for a few episodes each, Holmes,) you're on thin ice. Shawn breaks the law all the time, wdym the network won't let him break the law? You can enter someone's home without permission & lie to the cops about being psychic (though that's hard to disprove bc being psychic is supernatural therefore you cannot disprove it using natural means; you can't judge paranormal by normal laws) but he can't open someone's mail? I mean I'm glad. Don't break the law, don't let cops break the law.

Initially they wrote it so some homeless guy would open the mail for Shawn or Shawn gave it to the cat & the cat opened it so it was not HIM mail tampering

JRr improv: All the way to the bone!?

Shawn multicultural moments: Mazel tov, dial a psychic!

The one time they didn't include a pinap they had to do a reshoot & added in a pineapple smoothie

AB: Next season we are moving on from pineapple, we're taking suggestions. Mango, maybe starfruit

matt shakman my man

XD he actually banged his knee

Carlos improvised the "Why would you put it on speakerphone" bit which like, yeah this is a stress line (not necesarily a crisis line or a suicide line, just a stress line)

JRr came up with the coconut

Oh this is where Gus gets into coin collecting!

There is a beauty salon down the hall from the stress line

No way Shawn is the only non work friend Gus has... He has hobbies, like at comiccon he was greeted by people...

Andy Berman: If I looked like Dulé, I would streak.

Poser.

When shawn first calls vick: First of all, how are you?

McNab plays guitar

It would be a lot easier if the network let us send in the show like "this week it's an hour & a half!"

DH when Shawn says "maybe you should shoot me" gets out from hiding behind him, subtle good acting

"That was adequate" hhh

Chris Henze: McNab in this day & age is wearing sock garters

KK: Someone tell my husband

I like how mcnab is not a big character but he is there. I read a fic once that included francine & little boy cat.

"If we ever see mcnab's apartment again we should see the cat"

KK: There should be like ten of them, he was pregnant, like "thanks Shawn"

KK: Once again, homoeroticism, by Andy Burman.

AB: I write that & don't expect for it to make it through, but it makes it through you & you're like "yeah set it up that sounds good" & then James'll say it & I'm wondering if there was any discussion at all... but it's great

KK: I hear from the network sometimes, they say "I'm kind of concerned about the overwhelming amount of male love on the show"

CH: These guys like each other. They're "good friends"

AB: Well Kelly has a rule, or three rules. They can hug, but they can't close their eyes.

KK: No that's Henze's rule

CH: Yeah you can hug another guy on camera, but once you close your eyes it becomes a little something special.

DH did that, put Gus' finger in Shawn's cereal.

& then JRr used the same spoon.
