I feel the same way about what Dylan did in regards to him. It never made sense to me. One of the few weak points of Bates Motel.

Oh the part about him not understanding he raped her is clear. He never did understand or accepted it. And they did have a somewhat consensual sexual relationship (how consensual can it be between a 13 yr old girl and a 17 yr old guy, that's another story.) BUT he did rape her. After she told him no. After she told…

I'm devastated. And reading this beautiful article didn't help. Norma Bates, I'll miss you with all my heart.

During Norma and Alex's first date, she told him she ran away with her high school bf but that it was not good. Her face was very sad when she said it. I can imagine for them being 17-18, uneducated, poor, and with a kid in tow, will put a strain in the relationship/new marriage, and that's why when she met Sam Bates…

This episode was magnificent. I thought no episode was gonna be better than Goodnight, Mother or 'Till Death do You Part but they keep delivering. I'm loving this season!!!

Same with Emma and Dylan. I liked them separately, a lot, but ever since they got together they seem so boring to me, I even fast forward their scenes when I re-watch. But I also think it means something more for the Norman storyline, I mean, he will think everybody in his life betrayed him: his mother (by getting…

Something in the words Norma told Norman during her 'visit' at Pineview clued me in that she was not really there. Then Dr Edwards says so to Norman. And that is scary because they showed now that they can create a scene in which is not entirely clear if Norma is really there or a hallucination. That to me has never…

Loved this episode. This season has given us one amazing episode after the next. The beauty of the Norma and Romero romance is just heightened by the impending tragedy we know might be/is coming. Speaking of, I don't understand how some viewers think the show can go on S5 with Norma being dead and only being on screen…

She actually said "Who's the lucky lady?"

Oh I got you now. Yes, Norman very well could convince people Norma did it, especially if they do find the body. But again, DNA evidence on that body might point towards Norman and not Norma. Oh this is so stressing me out!

Agree with almost everything here, except for the institutionalization of Norma part, because in my opinion she is not mentally ill. I know a lot of watchers of this show seem to think that, and to each one their opinions and projections and analysis of the show, but in a show where there is a full on psychopath, I…

We saw him beating her at least once, and maybe that wasn't even the first time? Even if she was a shitty wife, I think that would make him, at the very least, an asshole. Per Norman's and Dylan's accounts of the past too, both of them have either remembered or said that Sam Bates was not a good guy. Remember when…

It was not creepy since she was not referring to Caleb as her HS boyfriend. It was actually very sad. She was telling the story about how she got pregnant by her HS boyfriend, got married to him and had Dylan. Nobody knows Caleb is Dylan's dad except for her, Caleb (who only learned it in S3), Emma (Norma doesn't know…

It's not like she was gonna flat out say "Oh yes, my brother raped me and he's Dylan's real dad." in the middle of their first date. You can actually see the sadness in her face, and the pause she gives when talking, that she has to keep telling this lie. The only people who she has told the truth regarding Caleb are…

I've been thinking for the longest time, how can they possibly surprise us with the series' ending, and I never thought of this!! but it's possible. I don't think the showrunners will end it exactly like Psycho, but also I'm wondering how they will do it. Maybe nobody dies (from the main cast) on screen, we just know…
