[Mr Roxy]

Thanks.

[Jane2]

I. CAN'T. WAIT.

[hork]

Love this show.

[Tag]

Apparently this season will pick up right where last season ended (ie. no time jump).

Jamie Ray Newman will recur heavily as Alex's former lover.

Adore this show and performances, can't wait for it's return.

[ACL2006]

agreed. can't wait for season 4. It just always stinks there's only 10 episode and rumors are that season 5 will be its last.

[Mr Roxy]

I think it is. There is only so much they can do with the characters. Add to that, the actors might be getting itchy to spread their wings and do something else. Doubt the actors doing Norman and his Mom want to get typecast. Get out now while on top.

[songanddanceman2]

I don't think it's anything to do with the actors wanting to move on, they only shoot 10 episodes per season so have plenty of time to do other things. Vera is already doing lots more. I think like Sons of Anarchy they only planned a certain amount of seasons and I'm guessing the end season 5 will bring us full circle to Psycho. 

[Jane2]

Agreed, song and dance. They have plenty of time to do other projects. It's doubtful any of them will be typecast. It's not like Freddie hasn't done tons of other roles. Check his resume, it's quite full. Vera's too.

Freddie Highmore was a very successful child actor who could have easily vanished as he got older, like so many child actors do. I'm sure he's grateful that he was able to land a series like this that will help him transition into being seen now as an adult.

[SNAFU]

Highmore, like Daniel Radcliff has made some very smart moves in continuing his acting career into adulthood. They must have very good agents.

Ya but has he done anything of note since Bates Motel began?  Not really.  And come to think of it, Farmiga hasn't really either.

[Mr Roxy]

Not to my knowledge on both counts.

[SNAFU]

To be fair though, it wasn't until the winding down of the Harry Potter franchise that Radcliffe started branching out.

New Season 4 trailer.  Nothing of great substance here, except the Psycho shower imagery.

'Ya but has he done anything of note since Bates Motel began?  Not really.  And come to think of it, Farmiga hasn't really either.'

Vera has had The Conjuring that was huge and the sequel coming up and has done a few other films and 4 more upcoming so she is doing plenty

 

Freddy has Close to the Enemy Mini Series and 3 films coming out.

[Jane2]

Freddie's always busy and has been since childhood!

[SNAFU]

Freddie is a very good actor and will transfer into an adult acting career quite easily!

[ACL2006]

Is anyone else watching this season?? First two episodes were fantastic & tonight's episode had my jaw on the floor!! Very excited to see were this season goes. Norman (& Norma) seem to really be the focal point of this season(no more pot plot).

[Jane2]

I'm watching, of course!

Yes, the focus definitely is on Norman/Norma, thanks god.

 

It occurred to me that if it weren't for the sublime acting of the two of them, this could very easily be a really bad campy show. But I'm glad it isn't. Looking forward to the point where it ends at the point where Psycho begins!

 

[Broadwayboobs]

I can't believe I missed 2 episodes! Time to check OnDemand. 

[Mr Roxy]

Highmore makes Perkins look totally sane by comparison.

[SmoothLover]

I am finding this season to be a little slow moving. I like the direction it is going however.

[ACL2006]

slow moving?? Maybe, but it's setting up the break-up of Norman & Norma. And I think we'll see Norman go full on crazy at Pineview.
