It was sooo monumentally wrong. Norman is acting so much like a jealous and/or betrayed boyfriend or husband (and as if he has the right to feel that way) that it's completely unnerving to watch. And, as usual, poor Norma completely mishandled it. I want to hug her and shake her at the same time.

I was trying to remember her name, but I'm drawing a blank. However, every time they showed that pitiful papier-mache version of her I sadly remembered what happened to her (that scene back in season 1 made me talk to the TV). This show is killing me. But am I going to stop watching? No way.
Anyone recall what Norman…

Boy Howdy, are they ever putting the screws to us and ratcheting up the tension.
Last week they made me cry, twice. This week I was so tense I almost felt queasy. When it was over I felt like I needed a drink…and I don't drink.
But with three episodes to go, a nightcap might be just the thing after each late-night…

Hey, MIB…makes me smile that you remember (and of course you do) that old movie that can still make me laugh. Lemmon clearing his sinuses…just recently looked that up on YouTube and got tickled all over again.
Of course I don't mind that you mentioned me. That makes me smile, too. Thanks for the link.
So glad that…

I'm so glad someone else knows that movie and likes it!

I love everyone on Team Grimm, but Wu always makes me smile…even in the shortest of scenes.

I liked that line, too…and your version.
I'm usually amused by everything Wu says, and his delivery. Heck, I was even amused by his coughing up a furball even though I was grossed out at the same time, and feeling sorry for whatever that little critter might have been.
I think my favorite line was after his "dizzy…

For some reason it made me think of that old classic comedy "The Out-of-Towners" when Jack Lemmon and Sandy Dennis were forced to spend the night in Central Park (circa 1968?) and Sandy Dennis woke up to find a silent man in a cape standing over them. They'd already been mugged once, so she gave him all they had…

Righto.

"Well, this guy got boned." No, deboned.
I know…silly little line, silly little response, but I had to say it.

No, you're not. I was just about to say I kind of liked him and hoped he might make future appearances as a confidential informant. But, so much for that. I liked his sense of humor…funny, but also sort of touching because he obviously wasn't living the good life.
Rest in peace, Pinky.

I liked the unexpected time jump, but it made me feel a little disoriented…especially as I'd just practically held my breath through that 30-minute-long battle scene. Really, when the fighting stopped I realized I hadn't taken a deep breath for half an hour.

Poor Martha. I alternate between thinking "she's not as dumb as they think she is" and "she's dumber than I thought". All I know for sure is that she now must feel a lot like that rat in the bottle, and I pity her.
Hell…I even pity the rat, wholeheartedly.

Three years ago, if you'd told me that a TV series based on "Psycho" would have the power (and heart) to reduce me to a blubbering mess (clutching soggy Kleenex in both hands), and do it twice in one episode…I would've thought you were as crazy as poor Norman Bates.
But you wouldn't have been, and I would've been so…

As a mother, this episode effected me on several levels (and I'm sure you dads felt it, too)….
Of course I was saddened by Lagertha's miscarriage, and really touched to see Ragnar's and Bjorn's reaction (I've always wanted a real family reunion there), but I was also a little angry at Lagertha for deliberately…

I just wish she'd done it the first time he threatened their child.
And I sincerely hope The Bobsey Twins, aka Harald and Halfdan (he of the semi-Flock-of-Seagulls hairdo) do NOT make it through next week's battle.

Little Ivar the Boneless could give Damien a run for his money.

Okay…so we know Floki is a mystic and not-quite-sane (two traits that sometimes go hand in hand, historically), but wonder why he's so specifically attuned to Aslaug and her love-life? It's bound to lead somewhere. I don't know where, but they've made me really curious.

Yes, I think "seven year itch" was an old expression even before the classic Marilyn Monroe film.
That's a nice bit of research there. Thanks…and thanks for the pleasant Star Trek memories.

You're right. I started to put that but thought I was confusing it with the "seven year itch". Wonder if one inspired the other?
