DON'T READ IF YOU DIDN'T SEE SEASON FINALESo Lilo, what did you think of the finale? Norman seems to remember.  Dylan & Romero unlikely allies. Clever on writer's part, during lie detector test, when Norman sees his mother telling him SHE murdered Mrs. Watkins, thus being truthful(well, in his twisted mind) during test, no? How about the Mother/son "dance"? OMG... I know I know, they are only actors, not related but I hope they keep what I call the "creepy" factor out and just let the audience conclude what happens. LOL TIS Hey TIS, even if Norma/Norman never do that final thing, they almost may have well as already as they are each emotionally intimate with each other in a way that normal relatives just aren't.  It seems like they have set up Dylan to be the town's new drug lord. I thought they too neatly/quickly disposed of Jodie. I thought that if Norman can willingly go into his "mother" mode then he's not so much sick as he is "evil". It's like he was thinking how can I get out of this? Oh yes, summon up mother. Hi Lilo, Yea I see what you're getting at, with Norman summoning his mother when he needs to change personalities. Yet the original Norman Bates did kill while dressed as his mother. I didn't expect Jodie to go so quickly either. As far as Romero, what's his angle? Just a crooked cop? I'm guessing Dylan will owe him now. Tho, every now & then I forget this is NOT your normal family  it was nice for Dylan that Norma bought 3 tickets to Canada. Oh, and what happened to those beads and picture of Ms. Watkins? Could that come back to Norman now?  TIS

Well Norman is getting even creepier. I wonder who he's gonna kill next? Maybe his NOW girlfriend, Emma who hopefully will catch on to him?? His relationship with his mom is getting disturbing too. Dylan is beginning to get a clue. Btw, I really think Vera Farmiga is a good actress and plays the part very well. TIS

Good episode last night. We see more how Norman is "imagining" his mom talking to him. Poor Emma. Does she know what she's getting into? And is that Dylan's father he's working with. He told Emma it was an Uncle didn't he? I find more and more I can reflect back to the Psycho movie Norman Bates and see how he actually got the way he ended up. The mommie issues are revealing themselves more and more as Bates Motel continues. Interesting. TIS

Yeah I wonder if Opie (can't remember his name) will have a bigger part now that Norma's brother took that job. That whole storyline annoys me, seemingly Emma is supposed to be the only "normal" regular character, but she thought it was completely understandable that Dylan wants to hang out with his mothers rapist. Now I know that not all is as it seems there, but it hasn't indicated at all that Emma knows more than what she's been told. All she knows is that he raped Norma and she fell pregnant with Dylan, but she acts as if Norman is in the wrong for wanting to tell his mother.
Now that's not to say Norman isn't in the wrong he clearly has a problem for the completely wrong and messed up reasons, but again there's no indication that Emma knows this. It's kinda ruined her character a bit for me. I mean why does she so desparetly want to be part of this fucked up family? It's hinted more than once that she isn't really into Norman anymore, but was using their relationship to get closer to these psychos. Emma's been getting on my nerves lately. Was she wanting Norman to wake up and see Dylan hitting her chest?

Missed the last couple episodes and just now caught up. Getting very weird now as we begin to see the "psycho" Norman coming out. Very last episode, Norman running in the street. Who's the girl that turned around and called him by name?  Btw, the cop (Romero) is strange along with the Bates family. I think the entire town is a little off. ha ha TIS

Thanks Camarel. I just now saw last night's episode. Norma's brother told her about Norman's visit to hotel after Norma told him about her brother raping her. He said "Norman thought he was you." That along with scene of Norman in Norma's robe thinking he WAS her, and knowing how Norman turns out, it certainly confirms good script writing to emphasize Norman's disturbing personality. Great acting too IMHO Can't believe next week is season finale? What was it 10 episodes? Damn, goes so quickly. TIS

I think it's been a very good season (tho too short). Little by little we are seeing the psycho Norman appear. More and more insight into his imagining his mom coaxing him to do things. Yea, I wouldn't be surprised that Emma could be a target. At least Norma is looking into getting him help, yet....we'll see how that goes. TIS
