Bates Motel

[Jangler]

Season 4

I started a thread on season 1, but didn't have many replies. Thought I'd try a again. 

I like they have slowly (42 episodes) shown Norman become his Mother. If you are a fan of Psycho you should like it, but binge watching helps for some of the slower, filler storylines.

So has anybody stayed with the show?

Better than that Damien sh!t. Way better.

I have stayed with it for Vera Farmiga mostly. I love her.

It seems like the only normal people in the entire town is Emma and Dylan. I find all the machinations of the drug empire, corrupt cops, etc. from the past three seasons a very odd focus for a show about Norman Bates.

However, I do like the show and the acting is really good. So far I like the direction this season is heading.

So, regarding last night's episode, isn't there plenty of evidence that Norman is the crazy one, and his accusation against Norma is part of his mental issues? I mean, the farmer saw him talking to "Mother" who wasn't there, in the first psych ward they recognized his multiple personality disorder, Dylan saw him dressed as Norma making pancakes or whatever, he's been pretty erratic in Pine View, etc.

Would the doctor at Pine View really be like "oh snap it's been his Mom the whole time, better report it authorities."

Love the show as well, by the way, great acting. The people playing Norma/Norman do a fantastic job.

Norma ain't quite right, either. But she hasn't killed anybody. Somehow though Norman gets out and will kill everybody (except Emma, Norman loves her) I'm just wondering if the will stop at the movie, or try and do a 5th season.

Yeah Norma for sure has some issues.

 

There will be a 5th season though: http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/live-feed/bates-motel-renewed-returned-canceled-801653

 

Whatever happens, the 5th season will be crazy given how quickly Norman is descending into psycho-town.
