    This makes me want to watch Twin Peaks

    I tried really hard as a teenager to like Twin Peaks, but for some reason it just wasn't my thing. This episode is 100% my thing and everything I would have wanted the actual Twin Peaks to be. Now I'm off to find a cinnamon pie recipe.

    television masterpiece

    Really. It is.

    An homage to Twin Peaks, and the usual Psych references to other pop culture, especially television shows, this entire episode is brilliant. To fully understand its conceit, you probably had to have been a fan of the original David Lynch Twin Peaks series, at least year one. If you were, then this Pysch episode will be one laugh out loud moment after another.

    I can't get over how awesome this show is. It stuns me that the writers and producers put this much thought into one standalone episode in the middle of the season. I want to write them personally and thank them.

    Brilliant.

    Dual Peaks!! Twin Spires!! Eeeek!!!! Dammit!!!

    "Dual Spires" is a delightful homage to the quirky and offbeat TV show "Twin Peaks." The episode perfectly captures the essence of the original series, from the small town setting to the eccentric characters and bizarre plot twists.

    The Psych writers & cast do an excellent job of channeling the Twin Peaks characters, with James Roday and Dulé Hill bringing their usual humor and charm to their roles as Shawn and Gus, respectively. The guest stars, including Sherilyn Fenn, Dana Ashbrook, and Ray Wise, are spot-on in their portrayals of their Twin Peaks counterparts.

    The episode's mystery is engaging and intriguing, with plenty of twists and turns to keep viewers guessing until the very end. And the humor is top-notch, with plenty of clever references to Twin Peaks and pop culture in general, right down to the eerie theme music similarities!

    Overall, "Dual Spires" is a must-see for both Psych and Twin Peaks fans. It's a loving tribute to the original show that manages to stand on its own as a great episode of Psych. Highly recommended.

    Damn Fine Cup of Coffee

    As a Twin Peaks fanatic and Psych addict, could not ask for a better homage! So fun to see all the original actors!

    .....stop rating 10 because you liked Twin Peaks

    The appeal of Psych is the same as South Park: every episode is a parody and no one is safe. Well, except for Twin Peaks. There are very few jokes, the over the top serious moments were only mocked on a few occasions, the Psych characters are tamed to the feel of Twin Peaks, the action sequences are minimal compared to the average Psych episode, the Psychic bit is minimal, the writing is clunky, and what's up with that intro remix? It wasn't funny or fitting to the theme.

    I get Twin Peaks is good and stealing from it's material means the episode is going to be alright at worst, but this was the least "psychy" of Psych episodes.

    • Trivia
      When Shawn mentions at the beginning of the episode that somebody in Washington invented silent window shades, he is referring to Nadine, the woman who wore an eyepatch on the show "Twin Peaks" and was attempting to patent silent window shades on the early episodes of that show, which was set in the state of Washington.

      The library classification was not the Dewey Decimal Classification as stated in this episode but rather the Library of Congress Classification. Note F796 covers the state of New Mexico.

      Maudette Hornsby: Isn't cherry the best?

      Burton 'Gus' Guster: The best what?

      Maudette Hornsby: Everything, silly. I thought you were psychic.

      Shawn Spencer: I am. I'm the psychic. But how did you know that?

      Maudette Hornsby: Word travels. You know, we don't get a lot of gossip around here so an untimely death, a psychic and a black man all in one day. Epic.
