I was wondering if it was just me, if I was just in the right frame of mind for Psych when the second season started (because I never finished the first season) or if it really had worked out the kinks by then. But it seemed like all of the other characters in season 1 were always getting shafted by the show needing to make Shawn always the winner. Always getting the last line, always getting away with being obnoxious, while leaving everyone else floundering in the dust behind him as he skipped away. Season 2 has Gus actually pulling weight in their operation/partnership, sometimes other people get to get the last word in, other people sometimes get to make Shawn's life annoying, and his character has toned down a lot.
I've always liked the way the show handled Lassiter, he's never really been a bad guy, he's just a cop who doesn't like Shawn, rather than someone you wanted to hate. Season two makes him even better and I think... I think if I were going to ship anything, it would be Lassiter/Juliet, but even that I'm sort of "meh" on, because I like the show as light-hearted gen with dashes of black humor. I wouldn't run away screaming from Shawn&Gus, but I wouldn't say I ship it, either. Shawn/Lassie could be there, but it hasn't moved me, either. I think they do grudgingly respect each other way deep down, but not enough for a pairing yet, not even rival slash for me.
So, I'm all over genfic for this series, because I would like to read some, but I'm sort of afraid of wading into the fandom. XD
