BATES MOTEL - THUR 9PM Universal

[Blondeshavemorefun]

Usa drama about Norman bates as a teenager and events that turned him into a serial killer

given good ratings over there and always did like a bit of Psycho

I've seen the first half so far. The mother is awful!! It's alright for her to get laid but, not Norman!!

I think she is a sex maniac - and that's why Norman suffers guilt over sex

Oooh, found the thread! Hi Blondes, I shouldn't be surprised to find you here as you have fabulous taste in tv like me!

I love Vera Farmiga and Freddie Highmore, both great actors.

I think Dylan is actually the only character who isn't (completely) fucked up.

So once in every episode Norman has had 'discussions/conversations' with his Mother, but they are only in his head. He thinks they are real. He isn't unsaveable at this point, just needs therapy as his father was abusive. Such an odd relationship with his mother. Very well acted.

Waves to bear

We always appear on these thread [ grin]

I still wonder if Norma had sex with Norman

Young Norman? Not so far I don't think.

That was a great episode wasn't it. How are they going to explain it all to the police because bad cop wasn't in it by himself and the whole town is odd.

I think Norman has confused feelings towards Norma and she isn't helping matters with her behaviour. I like Dylan because he wants to take Norman away for a normal life. It's all going to go wrong......

Tbh I guessed it was him that killed the father. I love Dylan but I get the feeling he won't be around for much longer.

fab epsiode

so norman killed his father but blocked it out/thought he got up/walked inot garage and shelf fell on him?

I thought the mother was going to attack/betray the Chinese girl for stealing her man.

Do you think the Chinese girl managed to escape?

it wasn't made clear was it? I hope so but not many people seem to make it !

I hope she made it as well

Wonder how they are going to explain death of copper?

Roll on tomorrow....

you watching bear?

Arggh! Sorry Blondes. I ended up watching on Friday. I've been crap on MN lately. What did you think of the latest episode?

im just about to watch last weeks :)

Enjoy. It's a good one.

i was a little confused why other copper was happy to cover up the death

poor doggy :(

wonder why and who the stranger in the motel is who wants to rent all rooms for cash

God knows but he's been in something before hasn't he?

i thought so but couldnt place him

I think he actually looked like Anthony Perkins (Norman Bates). I'm going to check and get back to you on that in a min.

Nope. It isn't. I don't think. It was his eyes and eyebrows.

It obviously is some dodgy reason for wanting the rooms.

The cop who ended up helping the Bates, he is going to want a favour, or he is secretly in on the whole girl-slave business too.

Def dodgy. Prob gonna have sex orgies

blondes Apparently there are only 10 episodes and I think Season 2 is still filming, or only just airing in the US.

The cop who agreed to cover up Shelby's murder played 'Richard' (I think, AKA eyeliner guy, because he looks like he has eyeliner tattooed on!) in 'Lost', if you remember. He's called Nestor Carbonell.

Did anyone else think it was creepy when Norman was walking away from 'Bradley's' house (what a name for girl!) after she had rejected him, and started repeating to himself the things his mother had said about her? Do you think this is the beginning of his 'mother' alter ego taking root, like in the original film. He is becoming the Norman we all remember!

Freddie Highmore is a very good actor.
