Bates Motel 2017

[Jane2]

I know we have another Bates Motel thread, but I searched for it, posted in it, but it doesn't show up, so I started this one.

Final season starts tomorrow night and I can't wait!

"A dead woman and a mentally ill boy."

Love it!

I thought any scenes between Norman & his [dead] mother were fantastic last night! Revealing her corpse in the basement gave me chills. It would truly be a great final season if that's all that was focused on. But then they throw in the boring scenes between Dylan, Emma & Caleb. Though in the previews it does seem like Dylan returns to the motel to find out about Norma being dead.

That sure was chilling to see Norma in the basement! I thought the episode was a showcase of Highmore's acting skills. I can't wait til we see him actually moving around and speaking as Norma.

Hate being this person but not sure why you have a private thread when this show is currently being discussed on this long time thread:

answer- Because 1. If you bothered to read my opening post here, I explained why I started this thread.

2. If you haven't seen a current episode of a show, SIMPLY  don't read that thread.

You hate being that person? Then don't be it.

1) I read it, you said you couldnt find it, so i provided you a link so you could.

2)  No good deed goes unpunished

MY FIRST POST -" I know we have another Bates Motel thread, but I searched for it, POSTED IN IT, but it doesn't show up, so I started this one."

Reading comprehension 101.

Let me know when you do a good deed.

[Petralicious]

God Bless You. I will pray for you. that will be my next good deed.  

[Jane2]

That's the best you can do after realizing you made a mistake? Don't bother with the prayers, just say oops or something that shows you are human. If possible.

Ignore the moron Jane, I'm gonna watch it tonight, I can't wait. 

[Jane2]

Oh  good, I hope you post your reaction!

I'm surprised no one is talking about last night's episode.  The ending was so perfect. I'm wondering how much of Psycho we're going to actually see in the show - it looks like it's getting very close to the movie.  I don't remember Dylan and Emma in the movie - I'm trying to figure out how they'll figure into that....

Was just going to post about last night. It was easily one of their best episodes & the final 5 minutes was beyond captivating & thrilling. Eager to see how far they make Norman take on Norma.

[Jane2]

I'm waiting for Norman to be Norma, wig, makeup and dress, for more screen time.

I think this supernatural element is starting to ruin the show.  In the preview for future episodes they have Caleb hugging ghost Norma.  They've deviated too far from the reality of the show.

[Jane2]

Was he hugging the actual dead Norma in the chair?

^Ah maybe!

I watched it again and it does look like he's hugging "ghost" Norma, but then we see later in the preview that he's really hugging mummified Norma. Of course we don't know who's eyes we are seeing the first part through. If we are seeing it through Norman's eyes, we would be seeing Norman's confused reality. Then the second part could be seen through the camera (our) reality.

I don't think there is a "ghost Norma. There is mummified Norma, Norman's imagined Norma that he interacts with, and the Norma that Norman becomes in his head. None of it seems supernatural to me.
