The secret life of Bates Motel season 3 premiere (late post oooops)

SEASON 3: Episode 1: "A Death in the Family" 



Bates Motel is finally back with a 3rd season! YAY. Finally! So I'm going to start of with some complaints and move into concerns and comments:)

**Spoilers about the actual story behind PSYCHO (#3 specifically!) **


1) I am so glad we're going to see more of Dylan (Max Theriort)! His and Norma's relationship seems like it's growing stronger. They actually had a moment towards the end of the episode: when a depressed Norma talks about her deceased mother. So, I'm excited to see more of Dylan/Norma screen time! I am already starting to fantasize about the cute bonding they could share. As for Norman, he might start getting a bit jealous...


2) What about Emma and Gunner??!! They're suppose to be together! Ugh. Not Norman and Emma. Although, that is what she wanted from the beginning of the show, so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. 


3) Did Norman really kill that woman who was staying at their motel?? HMMM...

I'm betting he did. Obviously, the "Norma" in Norman came out. Meaning since he has a split identity (one being Norman and one being Norma), Norman's "Norma" side does not like that he is talking to girls. It seems like the only girl in his life is Norma. And she wants it to stay that way! Therefore, the "Norma" (aka his split identity) goes around killing different women that come into contact with Norman. 

4) Dylan's dad/ Norma's brother...is he really going to end up staying in their area of White Pine Bay? 


5) The funniest scene for this episode was when Norma caught Norman creeping on one of the guests staying at the motel...How she was minding her business going to throw that trash away and then suddenly see's Norman's "head ass" trying to peep through the woman's bathroom window. HAHAHA 


She doesn't even go THAT close to him...but close enough so he can hear her whisper...and she says something like: "Norman what are you doing?! Get back to the house".

Honestly, the funny part was how she swooped up on him while he was creeping through the window. Also, how she didn't go close to him. I thought she was gonna march right up to him and grab him by the hand and yank him away. OoO But nope! Norma just simply whispered that line (that I mentioned up there). She sounded pretty angry though. HAHHA I'm seriously still laughing about this as I'm typing..


I don't know if y'all thought it was funny or not...but hey, I did. heh :P


ANYWAYS, off to bed for me! Need to wake early for a trip to DC! YAY. Plus, my stupid self is waiting for some boy to respond pfft. Well goodnight my imaginary readers! x

The secret life of "The Bates's" PART 1


"A boy's best friend is his mother." - Norman Bates

Well, the heading of this post is mostly directed towards Norma and Norman Bates. Mother and son, Norma and Norman have a very unusual relationship.These characters are based from the novel Psycho by Robert Bloch and the 1960's film Psycho by Alfred Hitchcock. In March 2013, the A&E network aired a TV series called Bates Motel. Bates Motel is a prequel to the film Psycho. Season two of Bates Motel aired two weeks ago on March third, 2014.
I personally have not seen the Psycho film or read the novel, so I was a bit freaked out about the weird mother/son relationship between  Norma and Norman. After watching the first episode of the first season, I remember doing a bit of background research before actually fully devoting myself (and time) to the show. I thought the concept was quite interesting. For anyone who does not know what the gist of Bates Motel or Psycho is, then let me educate you on that.

**SPOILER ALERT AHEAD**

SOO...Basically, the show is a prequel to Psycho. The mom and son have an odd relationship. For instance, whenever the son want to go out with friends the mom feels jealous. She starts getting mad at her son for going out with other "girls" or friends. Also, vice versa, when Norman (the son) sees the mom with any "man", he gets jealous as well. Another example, is the mom (Norma) changes her clothes in front of her son. Now, don;t you think that's a bit odd? I know I do. In addition, Norman (the son) has some odd psychological issue. (SPOILER**) For example, the season one finale, the viewer can infer that Norman killed his teacher. The series does not physically show Norman murdering his teacher, however, in the season 2 premiere, it shows him holding he pearl necklace. QUESTION. How on earth did he get her necklace if he did not kill her?

ANYWAYS, my friends are yelling at me to go watch the film with them soo I will post my feels about the 1960's film Psycho in like a few hours! Good day, everyone. (or no one. because this is my first post!)
