I’m in the middle of season 5 where Dylan returns home and Norman gets himself arrested- and I’m just so confused as to why Dylan is so determined to defend Norman to police even after hearing that they found Audrey.

I understand that they’re brothers and he loves him and wants him to get help but why can’t he see that being honest about what he knows will HELP Norman get proper help even it’s through the police???? Like this is so annoying to watch. Dylan literally goes back home to investigate his own mothers death and then ends up trying to keep Norman out of jail and dance around what he knows when he could talk to police and help them get a full picture of what’s really going on.

It’s so frustrating and stupid and i hope he makes better decisions before the finale.

So I just got to the season finale of season 4 and holy guacamole, the part where he glues her eyes open 😱 ... I had to fast forward a smidge.

I just got to Norma’s death. I’m so fucking pissed. I hate Norman. I hate that he gets away with everything. I hate that he ruins everything. I hate that he gets to decide when it’s time for him to get out of pine view, I hate that he gets to decide the relationship between her and Alex is over, and I hate that he gets to decide her life is over. I hate that he gets total control. I just hate him and I’m pissed that norma died. I almost don’t wanna keep watching. I’m honestly only watching for Alex Dylan and Emma.

Is it censored? I apologize if this is a stupid question but it’s listen as tv14 so can anyone let me know if it’s the cut down version?

Yall this is my all time favorite tv show, haven’t watched it in years, only place I’ve been able to watch it is on Amazon prime and it only has 3 seasons. There’s 5 seasons of bates motel. Somebody help

I just finished Episode 3 of Season 1 last night!

It was great considering that I've seen all 3 films. (I can't seem to find the 4th film.)

I love this show sm ♡

Ok, so i recently finished a rewatch of the series. And I'm not sure who killed Norman's dad. I know Norma said it was Norman, but she's not exactly trusty worthy. And when Norman is trapped in the box and he remembers killing his teacher, I swear there is a flash of memory that shows Norma hitting someone in the head. So I personally think Norma killed Sam. Am I wrong or just crazy?

Maybe I missed it, but Norman killed Caleb, correct? Did Dylan ever find out?

Inspired slightly by Shakespeare's Sonnet 18.

The first two lines are a general comparison to other works of art(music, film, TV shows.)

Untitled

Shall I compare thee to a Bates Motel

Thou art less lovely and less temperate.

The gentle breeze does part thy curtains just a tee

whence Mother's heavy brow cast shadows on the streets

And in those shadows, Norman, thou shalt play

and kill those who hath hurt both you and me.

Thy latest she is fair as fair can be

But Mother's whispers art ticklish in thy ears;

Forget her, Norman. For in your life, there's solely room for me.

Your maiden's tongue is sharp, thy razor sharper still

Utter betrayal in her face, and watch her rouge run in rivulets,

and as she turns to wipe the tears,

plant thy blade betwixt her ribs.

The cleansing blood will wash away your guilt.

October's wind disturbs again thy dark hair and darker heart

For Hunting season begins anon.

Let thy angelic face tempt all the succubi away from their webs

Their webs of lies, infernal lies.

Let carnal thoughts summon once more murder to your side

and at the height of ecstasy, as they contort and slide,

inflict irreparable wounds with thy knife.

Oh, Norman, why does your sweet visage now crumple so?

Please, Norman, do not cry; do not repent thy crime

Those dolled-up wenches deserved to die.

They would have harmed you in the end

They would have left you, understand.

Just let me kiss away those tears.

The taste of salty metal on my lips

Their blood so sweetly mingles with your tears.

Do not regret your deeds

For theirs is a greater evil than you think

They don't deserve you

They would have hurt you

Come now, embrace me fiercer

For love is lost, and that which is true to life

is only us.

Let us depart then into oblivion together

The sweet thereafter

Forever!

I didn’t bawl until the end. I am now looking for a similar show, any suggestions?

Additional resonance is always good!

My YouTube handle is eagal 11.

I’m two episodes away from being done with Bates Motel. It is an amazing show! Any recommendations on what to watch next? Something similar to Bates?

Why wake the girl if he's not going to let her out?

Something I noticed about the relationship of Norman and Norma. In season 1 Norman seems more independent, he likes to meet other people his age and stuff, then Norma goes crazy and is jealous all the time. Norman often tells her "it's too much" or that he's a grown man now and needs to live life. But then he slowly becomes more and more obsessed with mother. Like in season 4 he seems more obsessed with her than Norma's with him. Anyone noticed?

so we all know the basics of the show, Norman had >!4 suicide attempts!< before the 4th one worked, but i thought about something so we all know what happened at 4x02 >!he turned on Norma, caused her to get scared of him even more, and he had her gun with him!< in which in one point of the episode he said >!we both been broken, we want peace and happiness, but the world just won't allow us, so lets take ourself outside of the equation!< in which i believe that it could have been a 5th >!suicide attempt!< i get you a reminder of the other 4's, i will put them in a order of the show, with the episode and ss,

1. 2x10 >!after he was released from being kidnapped and he tried to tell his mother what had happened with him and Miss Watson, he tried to kill himself because he thought he was bad, which was understandable, but luckily Norma stopped him before he could harm himself!<
2. 4x09 >!he finds out he kills again, but this time he want's to take Norma with him, as mercy for her, not to cry on his grave (what i believe) using carbon monoxide poisoning, he attempts a murder suicide with his mother, he survived, she did not!<
3. 4x10 >!after he was released from the hospital, and has gone to Norma's funeral, and after he digs her from her grave, and Chick broke his bobble, he attempted to shoot himself in the mouth, his mind stopped him!<
4. 5x10 >!his death, he triggered Dylan to shoot him, which he first asked, then triggered Dylan!<

and now, what i believe his 5th

4x02 >!he did not attempt, but what he said, "so lets take ourself out of the equation" i felt like it could be counted as a 5th one!<

so now i ask you, do you think instead of 4

!suicide attempts!<

he had 5?

I talk about this book on the Rate Your Music forums.

Chuck's finest work. A brilliant slice of social satire, written entirely in broken English.

If you love South Park, you will love this.Even if you don't, check it out. It's ingenious.

Demented, heartfelt, unique and utterly hilarious.

Norma's death was expected, yet i didn't expect the way she died i mean, the way is her death is much more, merciful? then in the movies, and it showed the fact that he did not want to cause her pain, but to let her go with him, in a painless way

but maybe it was a act of him, not the fact that he acted like e believe she was dead around what i call for him outsiders, but the fact that he believed that he did not kill her, or maybe he was just delusional about that too, i mean, i think he believed she left him (Norma and mother) and in sort of a way, when he said "what do i have to do mother" i think he meant his hallucination in the form of her, and not Norma herself, and he can different between the two, since Pineview

i could be wrong about this all, its only my perspective, but in a way, the physical form of her and the form his mind made, seem connected, not by the person his mind choose, but by what the 2 represent, the physical one and his hallucination in her form, a sort of cord, the cord he had with the physical one had been cut by her death, and his mind replaced it in a way, or made him think that the cord is fine, and the cord have been connected again by the finale, by his death.

and for Alex Romero? after all he didn't know what really happened, and i am not sure of how he got to the conclusion that Norman killed his mother, but he did, and in a way got to the truth, that by the start of season 5 Norman could not understand, but by the end he understood.

I’m forever looking for bates motel stuff. Recently I’ve been on a mission to find a bates motel ish house. I check every stores Halloween stuff hoping someone will have some decor that resembles the bates house. Anyone ever find anything!? I check thrift stores like weekly and nothing. Not even a shirt, or photo. Someone somewhere has to have a bates motel model home or something that they don’t want anymore haha

im obsessed with the series and currently re-watching it i am on season four and must talk about the show with someone. norman is insane lmao. if anyone is interested in talking with me about the show let me know please.

Does anyone know of a version I can purchase on Amazon, or elsewhere that has French language support?

It's for a coworker/friend as a birthday gift.

Thank you, kindly.
