Mr. Yin Presents...A Sick Episode! 9.3/10


This episode finally lets "Psych," live up to its name: Psych is Psych-o! The season 4 finale of Psych was like watching a horror film, honest to God. (Not that I'm the best critic to make this comparison, as I pee my pants at the sight of a homeless person.) NO OFFENSE INTENDED TOWARD YOU, "THE PROFESSOR," on Monk. You are my favorite fake homeless man ever! Anyway, this epic sequal to last season's finale was a new step for Psych. I can honestly say, unlike other sequels--You included, Mulan II, Ocean's 12, and Percy Jackson and the Olympians, that--wait...Percy wasn't a sequel...it just was really, really, bad. Well, I can honestly say that the sequel to "An Evening with Mr. Yang," was an evening to remember.
First, I think that the directors of the show hunkered down on mystery even more this time. The hype from "evening" was so big with us Psych-o's that producer Steve Franks pumped up the clues, creepiness, and comedy. From the second the ankle weight wearing, serial killer obsessed, rat loving girly man met eyes with Shawn'n'Gus, you knew Yang was back, in one form or another.
And she was, creepier and more delusional that eva! There was a fo-show Gus moment when walking to Yang's solitary confinement room. Shawn asks why they must wear white, and is responded that bright colors over stimulate her. A worried Gus responds, "What about my face?" I love Gus!
As for the plot, Mary informs Shawn and Gus that Yang's fabled opposite, Yin, has arrived in Santa Barbara. As Mary truly puts it, Yang was all order, and Yin is ALL chaos. The actor who plays Yin is a mystery, also. He is listed in credits as Christopher Turner, who according to IMBD or whatever was born in British Columbia! YIN IS CANADIAN! OUTRAGE!!! Hahaha, I don't know, there's something about 'em.
I didn't really get much review in, I'm a distracted young man. But it was the scariest Psych in Psych history! I must say, though, that the emotion was a little hollow. I was expecting more depth, not just a, "You must choose!" OOOOOOO! Soooo dramatic. Sorry, I don't respect bad romance! Hahaha! Props, Gaga! Anyway, that was the only bad aspect of the episode!
All I wanna say is, PART III!!!
