I don't pay attention to that, at all. Which probably means it's never nearly bad enough to notice. That's quite an accomplishment.

I was bashing the dude playing Art only last episode, but he was mostly good this time. Still the weakest actor next to that strange performance by the guy that's playing Paul.

I knew right away it was Helena, which means Maslany played it perfectly, as usual. I didn't see it coming that she would stuck that woman like a pig, though…

The best thing about this: McLatin didn't even bash GOT for lack of subtlety. I fully agree. This show is (as probably the books are) rarely ever subtle. That IDGAF-and-I-am-telling-you-why attitude exchanged among good-to-great tv actors makes for fantastic scenes.

Game of Thrones is a lot of things, but subtlety is not on the list. Not ever. I am completely ok with that.

"One of point I wanted to make before I get into the bulk of my comments is that I find it funny that Dylan and Norma begin to have to uneasy chemistry in the same scene where it feels like they are out on a date at a gun range or something.I want to give props to the things this show has done right."

Right…Taissa Farmiga as Young Norma. This has got to happen!

You and your dirty minds…I honestly didn't get any of those vibes during the dress scene other than slight disapproval for her son to go to prom in general. 
Then again, my very first idea about "B" was…ok, I thought the writing in the letter looked male and then I thought that Bradley's father had written letters…

You sound like a broken record, too impressed by your own theory. There are several possibilites and I very much doubt that even the writers know which road to take. That's how it mostly works. Also, this is one of the Lost producers/writers at work here and you know what they say about that… (doesn't mean, I agree).

(giving you the chance to respond - ok, giving me the chance to be notified of a response - further down)
(I guess I am too impressed by myself taking a dump on your theory)
(oh, the irony!)

"Norma also didn't mention to Dylan that she was going to do her own thing, so I think Dylan probably felt the gun was something Norma would only use as legitimate self-protection if Abernathy broke into the house or her car."
Clearly, Dylan didn't think that at first. He didn't want to give her a gun, because he was…

ParaNorma. You are a genius. Love it!

If the Dylan theory is true (and I think it is), then it's possible that Norma was still "normal" enough to just name a child the usual way. I don't think that she necessarily hated him for being a product of her forbidden relationship with her brother. Her incestual ways - whether or not she was complicit - rubbed…

Norman won't kill anyone who doesn't "deserve" it in that tv "bad guy" kind of sense (like Father sure did) or as an act of mercy (when Emma eventually suffers in season 7 or whatever). The show is not about him killing people, but telling the story of how he became a serial killer after half a life full of tragedy…

And here I thought this was the lamest "twist" in history and that everyone should have figured out that not Norman but whoever was on the phone with the teacher killed her. But no…Todd says:
"The audience knows that Norman has killed his teacher"
You know nothing, Todd VanDerWerff!

Also, Norman's face after she said that. She didn't realize that she was including her own son in that statement while he was right in front of her.
When Norman screamed at her that she is crazy I half-expected her to say something like "Says the crazy one." and I swear that look was on her face there for a while.…

That was excellent delivery by Farmiga.

No. You did.

For some reason. I am constantly confusing this with Thief starring Andre Braugher, Mae Whitman, Michael Rooker and Malik Yoba.

Thought the same thing. They are not doing that very often after this episode. I kind of liked it a little and gave it two more episode which then got me hooked.
