Actually, I came back on to say that I'm finding it hard to believe she's anything other than a time traveler, the more I picture her. Unlike frootloops, I can almost buy the haircut—it's easier in some ways to maintain (though must be hard to find someone to cut it that way).

Her hair and makeup were distractingly modern. I suppose it was meant to suggest how ahead of her time she is, but it just looks like she wandered in from the wrong set.

In Oregon, if there is no will, and there is both a spouse, and children who are not also the children of that spouse, half the intestate property goes to the spouse, the other half to the child or children. So, assuming no will, and that nothing is partly in Norman's name, Alex would get half, and Norman and Dylan…

"Perjury" isn't the right word, but it is a criminal offense to lie to a federal agent.

Yes, but Norma's that way for a reason, too, broken during her own childhood. It's just that kind of generational tragedy.

Well, Norman's dissociative identity disorder did used to be able to keep his psychotic rage totally walled away from his innocent core personality. So you could feel that part of him, at least, was wholly sweet. Not so much anymore, the rage is bleeding into Norman from Norma/n. If he becomes the movie version, it…

Damn, I must have blinked during opening credits and missed that. Nice job, Freddie Highmore. You really know what you're doing.

Netflix? Amazon? DirecTV Audience? Somebody. C'mon, it can't be the spendiest show to produce, and it looks like we're going to be cutting off in the middle of things.
I need more Pappas!

Nope, he's leading live election coverage on MSNBC alongside Rachel Maddow. I'm sure it pays less than the network anchor gig, but it probably pays more than Girls.

Deeply sad and ultimately pointless? A lot like life, with death always barreling down at us. Doesn't mean it can't also be funny and sweet sometimes.

Nothing—Dale is just the most easily annoyed person on the planet, with the possible exception of his twin.

Yeah, Brenda Blethyn, who certainly is overqualified for the part, but it's hard to imagine even her doing a better job than Louie.

Tom and Lorenzo suggest the same thing about Colony, so I'm keeping the episodes on my DVR for when I have time to check them out.

I did feel a little bad for her, unexpectedly. The way they played it, you could see Penelope and Mama Baskets actually getting to like each other.

They all do.

"Nathanial had accidentally fallen off that bridge. While admiring the river."

I haven't read all the comments on previous episodes, but my best guess right now is that Taylor was roofied, but not by Eric—that someone else, likely including Kevin, had been doping drinks with girls as the targets. That would be why Kevin's teammates were assuring him that nobody was going to talk, and why Eric…

At any rate their honeymoon was inland, in the snow. So it's not only a tropical beach that makes a honeymoon work. (If anything, by the roaring fire when it's snowing outside is all the cozier.)

I wanted other Ryan and Jacquelyn to work out too—one hopes everyone gets what they want—but geography was really against them. There was no good way Ryan could continue to be present for his orphaned niece on Long Island and Jackie could continue her New Jersey career. The compromise apartment in Queens was too far…

Neil, in this season, has old-world grandparents who did have an arranged marriage that worked out lovingly, so it's not so surprising he'd give it a go.
