That rapist Keith Sommers was played by the actor for Mary’s brother who would go crazy at whoever touches his ear. And played Bill in the latter.

Poor Juno

One of my favorite details of the whole show is in season 5 episode 8 when Norma takes over Norman’s body and Norman is looking through the glass and you can see Norma’s reflection. Probably one of the best details in the show🧎🏼‍♂️ When I say this show never disappoints, I’m not joking. The acting is beautiful, the storyline is great, and I love how everything ties together in the end.

Hey People

I hope you're doing well! I wanted to share something really exciting with you. I recently reached out to Telltale Games about an idea I have for a psychological horror game based on Alfred Hitchcock’s Psycho. As you might know, the Psycho film has a deeply engaging narrative, and I think it would make an incredible game—especially with Telltale’s expertise in story-driven, cinematic games.

I truly believe that a Psycho game could explore Norman Bates' complex character and the eerie atmosphere of the Bates Motel in ways that would resonate with both horror and narrative fans alike. Since Telltale is known for crafting unforgettable story experiences (like The Walking Dead), I think they’d be the perfect studio to bring this idea to life.

But here's the thing—just one email might not be enough to get their attention. If you’d like to help make this game a reality, you can:

1. Send Telltale Games an email: Tell them you want to see a Psycho game too! Mention how much you’d love to experience a narrative-driven psychological horror game based on the Psycho franchise. You can reference my email if you'd like or just send your own message.

2. Make posts on social media: Share your excitement for the idea and encourage others to reach out as well. A simple post on Twitter, Reddit, or Facebook could go a long way in showing Telltale that there's real interest in the game. Use hashtags like #PsychoGame or #PsychoHorrorGame, and mention @TelltaleGames to grab their attention.

If we can get enough people excited about this concept, we could help push this idea into reality. I know it sounds like a long shot, but you never know what could happen if we all come together.

Let me know if you have any questions or need help with your email or post! Let’s see if we can make this happen.

Thanks so much for supporting the idea!

Best, Dominik

Rewatching Bates Motel for the millionth time and we were robbed of Alex and Norma. I LOVE their slow burn, they are the perfect example of that. And man I was kicking my feet and giggling at every scene with them. -when Romero already had a ring for her -when she told him about her brother and she told him to pack his bags and he said “where we going?” -when she was beating him up and he just let her and then hugged her -when he got her car back for her -when he hired men to fix the pit Like that man LOVED her and I hate how she was finally happy just to be killed. And then, as if the fans weren’t put through enough, he had to say to her “I love you. I always will, whether you’re here or not, okay?” Like HELLO? Anyways, they deserved more time and in my head, they lived happily ever after and Norman stayed away🫶🏼

Rewatching bates motel for the thousandth time 😭 my favorite parts or episodes is when Norma and Alex got married. She deserves to be loved and it was so sad when she died. I really wanted them to work out. But again she put Norman first before her. I guess I can understand as far as a mother and child, but I wish she could’ve found some happiness as well.

This might be an unpopular opinion/idea since I’m unsure if Bradley is well-liked on this sub, but I view this as a missed opportunity.

She was the only “series regular” that kind of got the short end of the stick in making her feel as important and fleshed out as she likely would have been, had she not had to leave the show for the majority of s2-s3 due to filming transformers.

I would have liked season 3 to have had one extra episode between episodes 8 and 9. At the end of the 8th episode is when Norman is chasing his hallucination of Juno and runs into Bradley, who has just returned to town.

The extra episode could have followed what she went through from the time between her s2 exit when took the bus out of town and up until her return, where she ran into Norman.

She would need to have had an interesting enough storyline to warrant the extra episode. But considering how she looked where Norman even commented on her appearance first thing, and her stating she’s been through hell- I think there could have been a storyline that made her more layered as a character and would have made her s3 death even more tragic.

I’d love to hear thoughts and opinions on this!

It’s a struggle LOVING Norman Bates. Like I feel for him, I really sympathize with his character. He’s such a complex character and there are moments where the show makes you feel bad for him, only to turn it around seconds later and make you hate him. But I’ve seen the show so so many times now, and I’ve never been able to hate Norman. Even after he killed Romero, who is my favorite character. I get why people hate him, but I can’t imagine watching a show and hating the main character. That’s gotta be hell😭 but it’s easy to hate his character and to get lost in all the details and just dumb it down to “he’s a murderer who killed his own mother” but it’s more than that. If Norma (who I love btw no hate to my girl) would have gotten Norman help from the beginning, instead of waiting for so long, he wouldn’t have been so bad. So while Norman is crazy, it’s not only his fault. I LOVE complex characters in shows, where you really have to dig deep into a character and their backstory. Norman has a special place in my heart.

Anyone watch The Good Doctor and imagine this is who norman would have become with a proper upbringing?

So she figured that Norman really was nuts and needed help so she had him checked into a mental hospital, then she just decides he gets to come home and kept ignoring the fact that it wasn’t a good idea so as a result he ended up killing her.

Can someone explain why they don’t like Cody? Sure she wasn’t great with parents, but she really wasn’t a horrible person. I really liked her, and how open she was with Norman. Her saying goodbye to him and reassuring him she wasn’t mad at him about what happened with her father, said a lot about her character.

it really felt like norma could not catch a break at all throughout. she tried to do her best for herself and her son and it ultimately ended up killing her

Hi everyone!

I just finished binge watching Bates Motel for the second time in less than a year! I love it so much and I'm obsessed with the dark feel and the vintage vibe it has to it.

Are there any movies or tv shows that have that sorta feel to them?!

Thanks in advance!!

so, we all know that he killed his mom in a murder suicide, my previous thoughts were that he planned to do it with her as his victim, but, i am just rewatching the episode, and i think that he planned to do it alone, but then watched his mom cry over thinking it was over with Romero, and didn't want her to feel the pain over losing her younger son over divorcing a man she loves for him, so he decided to do a murder suicide with her

what do you all think?

idk what rewatch im on at this point, regardless norma enabling Norman at every turn is driving me up the WALL. currently on season 4 episode 9 and Dylan meeting with Romero to get Norman admitted was the best thing ive ever heard. really glad he didn't tell norma when she asked

Just finished season 4 and can't stand to see this mf get his way. His lil quips and the way he acts all innocent. I like any scene where he's being punched tf out bc thats what he really needs.

for short, i got some thoughts on Norman, i mean, i get it, he got Oedipus complex, and in season 3, after she knew about that he got a second personality of her, knows he killed people and afraid he will do it again (and soo is he) but why did she act like it is normal that he was attracted to his mother (i finished the show already)

poor Aunt Watson

Really sad we don't get to see Norma and Alex as grandparents 😭

About to rewatch again, I never really understood Chick Hogan. Can anyone explain him to me? Where did he come from- was he just randomly living next to Dylan’s farm? Why did he come in all weird, lying about having a dog because he saw that one was shot by Caleb? Then, why did he act so weird about replacing Norma’s window and why was he basically just up their butts from day 1? I know he was writing a true crime story- later. But why did he just stay on them right from the jump before he knew them? Later why was he around Norman?

Finally, what the heck was wrong with him, why was he so weird? It can’t just be loneliness. And surely Caleb wasn’t that interesting to him in the very beginning. Etc. I don’t understand Chick. I love the actor but I think the character was just kind of unnecessary sometimes, others he did push the plot forward but he was so, idk, off the wall for what reason?

She reminds me of Forrest Gump’s mother; screwing around with anyone she thinks can help her. If she can’t do that, she cries and whimpers like a two year-old. I’m just starting season 4 and I want Norman to strangle her already! KIDDING, kinda. 🤷🏼‍♀️

The show and the movies made me want to learn more about his condition which led me down a rabbit hole full of information which led me to look into abnormal psychology and become more aware of my own issues and be able to analyze things i otherwise would’ve overlooked it’s crazy how one show did all that all that’s why it’s so special to me

I’m trying to go for a playlist that’s set in a au where I’m he doesn’t kill but Norma is still over the top loving so I’m thinking sweet songs like somewhere only we know (things like that) I get really creative but for some reason on this particular playlist I’m stuck the vibe I’m going for is more mother singing to her son almost like she sees him as a little boy rather then a teenager

So far I have Mr sandman and a few other from the show but I can’t think of any other songs

In what order should I watch the additional movies of the Psycho franchise? I didn't know about the whole thing until after starting Bates Motel. Just finished the series and wanting more.
