Yes, that is why I included that line about the entertainment industry being what it is.

Wishlist for next season:

For a moment there I wasn't sure if Norman was hallucinating that or not, since Romero didn't say a word and had that weird smile. I wasn't actually sure until the undertakers scrambled to help

Everything about the reality of dead Norma was really well done. That rag doll flopping at the cemetery gave me the wig.

Best moment was Alex holding Norman against the wall, by the throat. Rage is his superpower.

This is how you lose someone. And this is how you run them off the road…

I was oddly relieved it was "just" a frame-up so we didn't have watch it actually happen. It doesn't make it any less terrible, just slightly easier to take, for me. I guess. That was super depressing though.

No kidding, right? If Elizabeth ran Gaad's office, you can bet your ass those copies would be logged, and logged correctly.

Or maybe the shrink goes next year when he comes for a home visit and finds a fruit cellar full of bodies.

Apropos of nothing really: Back in the days of the Leno-Letterman feud, I remember Leno put a billboard in Times Square that read "We're #1!", and Letterman retaliated by putting up a billboard that read "We're #3!"

I'm hoping Norma and Alex take off to Mexico with the Bob Paris money, never to be seen again. And delusional Norman only thinks he killed them, while the body of "the boyfriend" is Caleb and the preserved corpse of "Mother" is either Emma's mom or Rebecca.

LOL, missed that. What did it say?

It was a genius move to humanize Norma and make the majority of her extra sour disposition from Psycho as a figment of Norman's psychosis.

That was tense. You know Alex could probably take him hand-to-hand and easily outmatch him, physically. But he just has to underestimate him once and it's all over.

It goes without saying, I hope you don't either!

Very relieved Alex didn't get an axe in the gut. I know comments have gone back and forth a couple of times, but it's hard to see the murderfest not happening in the finale for this year. Norman needs to channel that shit into Caleb, Chick and Rebecca.

Only a "B"?

Gesundheit.

This one really felt like the beginning of the end for me, with Norman finding out about the marriage and getting himself released, etc. Like this is where the prequel to Psycho begins in earnest and it's time for all the set-ups and relationship building to pay off and dominoes to start falling. I'm both looking…

It is understandable. Seductive leader is seductive.
