SNAFU said: "No Jane, we hear Norman arguing with her from inside the house. We think we see "her" during the shower scene.

" is that really his Mother? I thought it was Norman speaking AS Mother. I am confused again.

No he is arguing with himself as his mother. He is a split personality like he is now in the series. He never in the movies becomes his mother full time.

Since the show has the rest of this season and one more after it (am I right?) I wonder how the story will stretch out so much.

Jane, that is my question. I think it's going to be very slow story arcs. It might very well be the show wears out it's welcome. I hope not but we shall see.

hmmm, could they possibly go into the back story of Janet Leigh's character?

I'm wondering if they will do a reimagining of the movie. Bring the whole thing full circle. Norma could die but continue in Norman's head like they have been doing.

"That would be interesting. They could have her go there before her death time with another man or friends and possibly never meet Norman and just meet Norma. Even if it seems like she was never there before in the movie, they can change it up a little bit like the Walking Dead and Game of Thrones does with their originals

tonight's episode kinda of flatlined. Everything that happened tonight was shown in the preview for the episode. **SPOILER** The pot plot got buried without anyone caring **END SPOILER** The one slightly exciting thing might be the marriage between Romeo & Norma, just a matter of who tells who their dirty secrets first.

A Chorus Line played its final Broadway performance on August 17, 2008. The tour played its final performance on August 21, 2011. A new non-equity tour started in October 2012 played its final performance on March 23, 2013.

I was a little disappointed because when they put Norman into that holding cell until the shrink went in to see him, I thought at that point he would be Norma, and would talk like her. oh well.

Great season so far, and no, Nestor does not wear makeup. It's silly anyone would think he would just be lying in interviews.

It's clear he isn't wearing anything and has repeatedly said in interviews that he does NOT wear eye makeup. There is no reason he would lie about that, so perhaps you are not seeing the television too clearly.

Margo, I will try to explain this to you.

Yes, Carbonell has unusually dark and thick eyelashes. When lashes are that dark and thick, it appears that they form what looks like a line under the eye. No, nature did not take a brush and draw a line across his lid from one end to the other. When his eyes are mentioned, it's the lashes they are talking about when they say liner.

Because the thickness and darkness varies on Carbonell from film to film, and photo to photo, it's apparent there has been some enhancement.

I just don't think Freddie is that great of an actor. I wish they would have used someone more interesting. The mother is a far better actress.

I agree as well. Freddie's great as Norman & Farmiga is equally great as Norma. Yesterday's episode we really got to see Norman go full on crazy at Pineview.

I am of the opinion that the casting of Freddie was a pure stroke of genius! He works so well in this series. Just the right mixture of pathos, charm and downright creepiness!

Did you catch last night's episode - SPOILERS

At the end when he was crying to the Dr. for help - what acting! He's superb.

YES!!! The last 10 minutes of last night's episode had my jaw on the floor. So much going on!! Definitely made up for last week's rather dull episode.

The great part of the series is Norma. It is not all about Norman. We see why he turned out as he did. He was bonkers but she had a hand in him going totally over the cliff.

I disagree. You can totally see his wheels turning as an actor. Nothing seems very natural.
