LOVED that too. So haunting. Are the producers usually in charge of picking the songs?

I totally missed that. Cool!

Oh right, Season 3 was the Jimmy Smits season. Ok so I liked it all the way thru season 5 (tho season 2 was dicey in parts…the British chick was fucking annoying). But how can anyone not like the Trinity Killer season?? That was Dexter's best season!

Amazing show. Last season was awesome and this season has been just as awesome. This show really deserves more attention than it's receiving. I'm re-bingeing the first season now since I realized just how much I forgot already (f.e. what happened to Cato and why he's a master now).

But in the movie, Norman never had a brother so the fact that Dylan exists and continues to exist already diverges from the movie canon. Same goes for Madeline Loomis' actual presence in Norman's life. They've actually been diverging since the beginning, so why would this last divergence be such a shock? Did you…

I actually don't like Rihanna at all, but I didn't think she was absolutely horrible. For the reduced purpose that Marion served after five seasons of the show, she did fine. We've had to put up with worse actresses on the show, for more than a season, so Rihanna, in her short two episode stint, was bearable, imho. I…

Whoa, is that true?? I totally forgot what dad's name was. If that was indeed the plan all along, that's pretty fucking amazing.

You mean shitty parts as in he always plays a shithead, right? Cuz for a pretty unknown actor, getting pretty visible roles on The Walking Dead and Bates Motel isn't too shabby.

I quite liked Season 4, the Lumen season. But otherwise, agree about everything after that.

There is no way to make this sound nicer but I gotta say, Austin Nichols seems to have a tendency to wander into good projects even with his mediocre acting skills. First it was The Walking Dead, which, despite the quality, is still a popular show and definitely more high profile for him than he probably deserves. And…

I think I've run out of words to describe how amazing Freddie Highmore is; I just don't have that kind of arsenal in my vocabulary. He's just…WOW. That last scene in the motel with Marion…STUNNING. Honestly, an EMMY is beneath him at this point. This man deserves all the best roles in the world after Bates.

Oh I don't know much about psychology either but here's what I gathered from what they've presented: I THINK that the Mother we see him talking to as a separate entity is just playing along with his delusions that she exists as a separate entity. That in fact, that persona, knows what she is, and when she takes over…

I don't think Norma ever really spoke to him about Chick so it would make sense he'd think they were on good terms. Didn't Chick introduce himself as a friend of his mother's? Or at least someone who admired her. That's probably why he thinks they are on good terms.

I would go with your last notion, that Norma/n was aware Chick carried Norman to bed, so that's why Mother knows what happened but Norman has no idea. I got the sense that she was cool with Chick now because he's willing to play along with Norman's "game".

No but I wouldn’t be surprised if he had since it was heavily implied that Norma/n is a regular there.

Someone did side by side gifs comparing Madeline and Norma yelling in the car. It's sublime:

What was the hole?

You're right, I remember that now. I think I was slightly thrown off at the beginning of the season when Norma/n kept on talking about how she was stuck in the house etc etc has if she was a separate entity. But I guess that persona could have just been playing along with Norman all this time: she only agrees she…

I think that's the part I'm having trouble with. When "Norma" takes over Norman, he completely becomes her, so much so that that persona thinks she's only faking her death. But then at the same time, they're saying that persona is also aware that she is not real and only taking over the body of Norman, so any sexual…

Oh, it doesn't affect how much I love the season or all the episodes so far, but I think these little issues could have easily been avoided. They could have gone about all these reveals in a different way. Let Dylan and Emma know that Norma died early on…that could be the reason for Dylan and Norman's falling out,…
