Psych Episode Finale an Evening with Mr. Yang

We are approaching the end of the season and the psych episodes have come to an end for this year. I can still remember the shenanigans of Shawn and Gus. Especially the first time Shawn pretends to be psychic. I remember the people’s reaction when Shawn convinced him, and his powers of observation were so well executed in the show to make it very believable.

As for the season ender psyche episodes, Shawn and Gus are forced to deal with a devious master criminal. Santa Barbara has this long untraceable and famous serial killer the media dubbed as the Ying-Yang killer. Mr. Ying-Yang gave the Santa Barbara Police Department a formal threat, warning that there will be blood, unless Shawn tracks him down. Shawn, without much choice, is forced to accept the case with much apprehension. However, during all that madness, Shawn has other problems plaguing him. He is also caught between two blossoming love affairs with a waitress he met in some restaurant Jules and with his high school dream girl Abigail (played by the cold careered Rachael Leigh Cook). Also, there was Shawn’s mom played by Ms. Cybill Shepherd.

There is definitely a sense that the Psych episodes are getting a little bit darker. That’s why I got a bit nostalgic about this show’s beginnings. But nevertheless, it has become the better for it. I think it must have something to do with James Roday, he co wrote and directed the last episodes. This trend has been going on since the Love Letter to Friday the 13th psych episode.

Anyway, the intensified tension is very apt for the big hyped up season ending. I feel somewhat disappointment because the show is now finally coming to a big close. It feels a bit cut short for me. I wish that the producers of the show would care to give more time for the ending of the season. The problem is, the seasons end is the only time when shows really up the ante and kick start the tension but they do it in three or four episodes. They should have made more episodes for a good show like Psych.

The Ying-Yang killer story is very suspenseful and interesting. The Yin-Yang killer himself is very interesting, and the dance between him and Shawn is so thrilling to watch. Gus is going more into the background in the past shows, but he still has opportunities to get the spotlight by dishing out awkward and improper diversion for Shawn. That Michael Jackson impression was just hilarious, especially because it was Dule Hill. The guest stars also played a big part in this Psych episode. I especially drooled over Rachel Cook.
