I loved the Log Lady and Shawn and Gus' reaction.
"I was gonna say...!"
"Yeah, that would've gone TOO far!"
No love for Robin Lively? She looked pretty good too.

My favorite "easter eggs" were the golf book by "Earl Windom" and the cameo by Waldo.

Great episode, especially for twin peaks fans. Hilarious... I also loved that the only show the town watches is Everwood. I still miss that show

I'm not a Psych fan but I watched this for the homage. Really fun show!!
Knew they were gonna get some really good obscure references in when they alluded to the silent drape runners.
So
to Psych.

Recently there was a thread with someone bemoaning the long openings of HBO shows. Watch the Twin Peaks credits than ran longer than two minutes on network TV. Great credits like these get you in the mood for something interesting to happen.

It's not a terribly exciting story. My friend reps her for convention appearances and I met up with him at a Hollywood Collector's Show where they were doing a TP reunion of sorts. Sherilyn was leaving and needed someone to walk her out so fans (a few of whom were acting crazy/obsessive while she was at her table) wouldn't stop her every 5 feet and bother her. So, I was enlisted. VERY sweet woman, and still a major piece of ass.

You mention two of the things I love about the show. The variety in the opening song, and the fact that the quick fire references in their witty repartee means I miss several jokes per episode, catching them when you all mention them here or on repeat viewings.

Props for Julee Cruise singing the intro! She did almost all of the vocals on the show and I love her songs in the original Twin Peaks album!

Yes, I agree. Not only did the scene connect so specifically to Twin Peaks, but it also reminded me of the final scene of Inland Empire. A 2010 USA Network comedy is the last place I expected to see a bona fide Lynch tribute.
Is Psych always this good? I'll admit to being drawn to this episode specifically because of Twin Peaks, but is the humor similar in standard episodes?

But the early part of this season had a great stretch of shows, and they're 3 for 3 since coming back. Next week looks like they have a lot of great gags just sitting there waiting to be used, and then there's the finale which will finally complete the finale trilogy.
Basically if you're a child of the 80s, you'll probably enjoy this show. And you're getting a run right now that's as good as the show has ever been.

I am liking the different opening themes that they do for Psych. Really liked the tears for fears version; this episodes version was nice too. How are thet getting the money to do this?

I had to give props to this. I had never seen the show. This made me miss Twin Peaks even more. I used to re-watch Twin Peaks every year, but I have been lax over the last few years. This was put together with tremendous love and consideration. Glad to see people still appreciate the influence Twin Peaks had, even though ABC surely didn't.

There is a list of references on WikiPedia

If you have additional ones, add them there or PM me and I will.

More than usual for this Fall (it was up 500,000 ppl from the previous week), it was about on par with what it pulls during the Summer.

This is slightly off-topic, but I think people who enjoyed "Dual Spires" will like the following ("Twin Beaks"):

Looks like there might be a sequel in the works -
