Yes! If this doesn't happen, I am disappoint.

Yeah, that's what I think. Giving up your old life for the cause means exactly that. I'm actually skeptical they'd give Elizabeth tapes from her mom, but what do I know really.

Maybe. I'm thinking the intrigue and spycraft of dress-up (plus meeting her grandmother, of course), would be the way to start training her. Give her a nice feel good mission or two until she's a true believer, before the soul-crushing tasks kick in.

So, Paige in a wig with fake papers? YES PLEASE.

It really seems like the best way to turn her and give meaning to her - the concrete family ties that she craves.

So, Elizabeth will take Paige with her to see her mother, yes? Seems like the birds of appeasing Philip and indoctrinating Paige could both be killed with that stone. At least, that is the argument I'd make to Gabriel, if I were Philip &/or Elizabeth.

Oh, absolutely, I'm not saying Norma is blameless - only that the Freudian theory that permeates Hitchcock's movie is outdated and today doctors/scholars/therapists know more about biological aspects of mental illness, family dynamics, etc.

I think there might be more value to such an experiment if Norman hadn't killed anyone until Marion Crane, with the guilt of thinking he murdered his mother being one of the factors that eventually drives him over the edge.

Maybe it is both. Part of it is that Farmiga and Carbonell have such obvious chemistry that other romance avenues just seem like a waste of time.

If it wasn't clear, I'm definitely skeptical. I'm not sure the idea is entirely without merit but ultimately I think that making the murderer someone other than Norman perverts Hitchcock's narrative more than I'd like.

If he's supposed to be charming, or even just above board, I'm not buying it either. The "flirt a little bit, counsel a little bit" schtick is really off-putting.

So given the last few weeks I'm king of wondering if they are building up a reverse murder mystery type of scenario around Norma's future death - a who'll-do-it as opposed to a whodunit. Dylan & Caleb are two crime-of-passion candidates (in addition to Norman). Paris and anyone who is on that list have a tangible…

Unless the rules have recently changed, I'm pretty sure you have to explicitly claim the firstie in order to get exposed.

Boar Jerky. It cures what ails ya.

I took it much differently, I didn't think they were implying that it was a dream or super-cop magic skills, or anything like that. To me, it didn't seem that it occurred to Stan at all, until it did. And now it's just a theory he is investigating.

Thanks, I changed it. It might have been because a couple of weeks ago, there was some comparison between the two - both technically "good" guys who aren't great people or all that likeable.

I guess both, maybe? I can understand Paige being suspicious, but if she wasn't I wouldn't necessarily find that weird.

The name drop was interesting though. It seemed to be implied that Hank Stan had a twinge about Martha possibly planting the bug in the pen. Also, when Hank Stan asked where she was it was explained to him that Martha went home early due to "family" reasons.

Same. I mean, I can understand Paige being concerned about it because of other factors like the late nights and phone calls at odd hours, and just the teen angst of thinking your family are freaks in comparison to other people.
