Psych - Lassiter's arm?

[MitchO]

Did I miss why they explained why Lassiter's arm has been in a sling for most of this season of Psych? I thought maybe something happened to the actor and they were going to write it in, but then a few episodes ago I thought the hand looked clearly fake in one scene. I don't see anything under the actor or the show on IMDB or Wiki, so I'm confused.

Maybe it was shot by Skeet Ulrich in the season finale of Jericho?

Didn't he get shot or in a car wreck or something? I thought it tied into a particular episode's plot.

[Sir_winealot]

I thought he had been shot, while in a car wreck.

:D

My guess, it wasn't tied into an episode at all but was due to an off-camera injury.

Ah... http://www.tv.com/psych/show/59369/what-happened-to-carlton-lassiters-arm/topic/76782-843085/msgs.html

just to confirm, a user on the IMDb forum works on the production of Psych in Vancouver. Here's his quote:

"Tim had been mountain biking one morning prior to working, and fell, breaking his collar bone. So they decided to write it into the show. You'll eventually find out what happened to Lassie, keep watching"

[MitchO]

Well, considering there is only one more episode, I guess we'll find out tonight :p

Thanks, TA.

I remember in the first episode it showed up in, someone was warned not to ask Lassiter about what happened. I've been waiting for an explanation since.

Ditto. Season finale on Friday, I'm assuming we'll find out then.

[windracer]

Glad I'm not the only one who has been wondering about this.

[TAsunder]

Apparently I'm special enough to fabricate explanations in my mind. That's pretty sweet.

Someone's clearly on crack! :D

[MitchO]

They didn't explain it in the finale. =/

[windracer]

Yeah, no one even commented that the sling was gone!

[phox_mulder]

They didn't explain it in the finale. =/

As stated in the other Psych thread:

I wonder if it gets mentioned in a "psych out moment" on the USA website?

I've never been a fan of "you have to go to the website to see bloopers or unaired scenes",
TV should be on TV.

thwy started doing this oon mythbusters. "To see the stuff we filmed that couldn't fit in the show like adam being buried go to are website"

I don't wanna go to your ****ing website. I am watching the show on TV not the computer.

But it was never going to be in the show, so why does it bother you (who wouldn't have seen it anyway) if they give other people the opportunity to see outtakes on the web site?

[Hunter Green]

It's only a problem if things on the show later depend on stuff we didn't learn on the show. I doubt that'll be a problem with Mythbusters -- they're not big on "story arcs" -- but Heroes and Lost have edged close to that line. (Some would say Lost crossed it, by answering an in-show mystery outside the show. Would they never have answered it in the show anyway? If so, I'm not upset they answered it outside the show, I'm just upset they set it up in the show and didn't answer it.)

Oh oh ... did I miss something? I hadn't heard of this ...

[pendragn]

Oh oh ... did I miss something? I hadn't heard of this ...
Please use spoilers, I haven't finished the last season of Lost.

[Warren]

they should put it in another episode.

[madscientist]

Oh oh ... did I miss something? I hadn't heard of this ...It wasn't last season, it was the season before that. Over the summer they ran an online game (you know, with clues that are text messaged, and all that stuff). In it they revealed
what the numbers mean
The producers said they were never going to reveal that within the show, because it would be kind of boring, and the mystery turns out to not be that important to the main plotline.

I didn't play the game but you can easily find this info out on the internet; for example Wikipedia had a complete synopsis IIRC.

[cvillacci]

So what do the numbers in LOST mean?

[Havana Brown]

Please use spoilers, I haven't finished the last season of Lost.

Iowa is soooo behind the times. :D

[gchance]

Damn all you people.

I'd been watching Psych and hadn't paid attention to Lasseter's arm. Now I can't stop looking at it.
