dontdamnmeuyi2015 Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 Two episodes into the final season. This final season will lead up to what happened in the Psycho movie. Not sure how much, since the tv series changed how Norman's mother Norma died. I'm sorry to see this show be over, but I really want Norman to be caught. I felt sorry for Anthony Perkins when he played Norman, but Freddie's portrayal just makes me hate him all the more. I really loved Norma, but luckily she's in Norman's head so we do get to see her a lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jane M. Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 Too bad this is the end but last season was awesome. When Norman starts wearing Norma's clothes and talking like her...fucking crazy. Freddie's portrayal has been excellent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sosso Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 I have watched a couple of episodes but nothing can beat the movies. No one is a better actor for Norman Bates than Anthony Perkins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read a book recently that was about Norman in the mental hospital and it was very good. I could see Norman's life going in some different directions with the proper help. Yeah, wearing Norma's clothes is very freaky. I love the scenes with Norma and Norman, I feel like she's really alive and talking to him.

He tries to have a normal life again but he is interrupted by the sister of Marion Crane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RussTCB Posted March 24, 2017 Share Posted March 24, 2017 So fucking good. I'm current up to the latest episode that aired. I'll use a spoiler tag in case others aren't up to date but @Jane M.: Spoiler Am I reading way too much into it, or was it an easter egg when Rihanna said "I'm Janet's replacement"?? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dontdamnmeuyi2015 Posted March 28, 2017 Author Share Posted March 28, 2017 Last night's episode was killer the writers switched some stuff around, but it was worth the changes. Waiting for the "shower" scene was shocking and so different from the movie. I thought the writers did a great job for shock value. I like how the story is different than the movie. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jane M. Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 Wasn't expecting that shower scene Sam deserved it, he's an asshole just like in TWD. Rihanna looked badass smashing that car. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rihanna looked badass smashing that car. Yeah, that shower scene was terrific and made so much sense since we know Norman is crazy. Yeah, Marion as a bad ass is way better than timid Marion but it's a different time for women. the Texas Frightmare weekend will have the 3 actors from Bates Motel. Norman, Romero and Dylan. I really hope I get to meet them. My daughter loved Freddie Highmore in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Anyway, Marion is a bad ass and I really hope she doesn't die. I wouldn't care if Norman kills that look a like to Norman, but Marion's character deserves to live. yeah, looks like that actor who played Sam and spencer on TWD will continue to play jerks. lol On 3/24/2017 at 6:11 AM, Jane M. said: @dontdamnmeuyi2015 Have you been watching? OMG I know this season is so amazing. Will hate to see it end. Wonder if it'll end just like the movie. I feel sorry for Norman now, but Norma is just horrible now. I loved Norma alive, but dead, it's like Norman is making her out to be this horrible crazy woman, when she did love him and always tried to protect him. I guess Norman's jealousy got the better of him. I think if Anthony Perkins were alive he would love Freddie's portrayal of Norman Bates. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jane M. Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 Best season ever! Can't believe one more episode and it's over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dontdamnmeuyi2015 Posted April 19, 2017 Author Share Posted April 19, 2017 I know next week is the series finale and since this is different from the movie version, which is excellent, I'm wondering how it will end? I do hope they find Norma's body. I think it's terrible what Norman did to her. Anyway, A&E is having a special after the finale with the actors talking about it. I know I loved this show so much. It would have been cool to continue with Norman and what happens in ten years or more. I recently read a book, forgot the name and author, about what happens to Norman Bates in the mental hospital. Although, this was never written about, it seemed like a good way to continue Norman's life. It was a pretty good book. Remember they did do 3 more Psycho movies with Anthony Perkins, which I thought were pretty good, but you never know if Hitchcock would have gone in that direction or not? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dontdamnmeuyi2015 Posted April 24, 2017 Author Share Posted April 24, 2017 tonight is the series finale. I'm curious as to how it will end. Sorry to see this show go, it was so damn good. Both Freddie and Vera deserve emmy nominations for their amazing performances. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dontdamnmeuyi2015 Posted April 25, 2017 Author Share Posted April 25, 2017 Amazing ending to a wonderful show. The writers stepped it up over and over again. And yes I did cry at the end of the show. I will miss this show very much and all the incredible actors who started in it. If Freddie and Vera don't get emmy nominations then it will suck! Vera was an amazing Norma, playing a character who was already dead in the movie Psycho and making her a lovable funny and sometimes crazy character. I think the ending was one of the best I've seen in a long time. Hope to see these wonderful actors continue. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was choked up near the end but full on cried when Spoiler Norman whispered "...thank you..." as he was dying. I also like that they showed Emma & Dylan back together and happy at the end. Dylan's early life was every bit as tragic as Norman's and only got worse through what he found out later about his family. Dude handled it like a champ and absolutely deserved happiness. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It showed Norman as a young man and how his mother was to him. I loved how Vera played her in the Bates Motel. She showed all emotions not just a mean bitch. True Norma had a strong personality, but I think Norman had mental issues since he was little. Anyway, I will miss the show.

Yeah, I cried too. Thought the ending was fitting for Norman. I totally love the movie Psycho and watch it over and over again, but I think Bates Motel did the movie a great justice. It went beyond the movie and showed all sides to Norman and his mother. Very good writers and actors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
