Bates Motel premiered last night (Mon. 18th) on A&E!

Disturbing works for me.

I had to LOL at "stoner hippies" singing Goo Goo Dolls like it was Bob Marley.

I guess I should have stipulated...  The score was of higher quality.

So...  I'm only five minutes into the newest episode, and I am dying.  I love Norma.  She is hilarious.  Her reactions to everything are so... entertaining.  Watching the train wreck that is her life makes everything in my life seem so much... better.

I panicked last night- thinking it was the last episode (I guess I should have done some research)- hahahaha!
What on Earth is up with that teacher??? She gave off a weird vibe. Also, I am super suspicious of Bradley.....hmmmm - what was she really looking for?  Maybe I'm just hoping for trouble 
And I am not sure who brought this to my attention- but EVERY time Norma said "NERMAN"- I laughed so hard! I didn't notice it before, but last night it rang through a few times.
I got no complaints..... I have nothing else to watch on Monday nights anyway, so I'm digging it.

POSSIBLE SPOILER!!!
When Norman finally snuffs Norma, do you think he'll scream, "And my name is Norman, you crazy b*tch! Not 'Nermin'! Why would you give me a name you can't even pronounce correctly?!"

SPECULATION/POSSIBLE SPOILERS
I think Norman will be the one that ends up killing "Mr. Abernathy." But, Dylan might die first. Also, I doubt Bradley lasts much longer...I think her dad had the $100k Abernathy is looking for. Remember, at this point, only Norma and Norman are "safe" characters, who have to survive into season two. It would suck if Emma buys the farm now, but, that's another possibility.

Norman's teacher sure is taking a shine to our Norman.  The woman they cast as his teacher looks a little young for the role.

I also thought it was weird when the teacher told Norman that he didn't need to tell his mom about the story situation. She leaned in a little close and I go a "NO' feeling! I wonder what her deal is, and if Norman is going to go against his mom's wishes.
Somebody is gonna get killed! There seems to be a line up of possible victims.
Count Z.- I need to start drinking- just so I can play a drinking game every time mother says NERMAN! 
I really do like the goofiness of her personality, though. I can relate

if Norman is going to go against his mom's wishes...  Somebody is gonna get killed.

And that is what I love about this series.  It's so addicting because everyone is so expendable.

But, Dylan might die first.

Someone was asking in another post about Norma and the way she dresses, my theory is that they'll bring her and Dylan closer together and then kill him off, putting Norma in a state of mourning and dressing her in black!?  Then again, they may just have Norman wear whatever he finds in mommy's closet!?

[Gillfan]

Why black? Neither Norman or Mother wear black in the Hitchcock version.

[Mord]

This isn't the Hitchcock version.

[Count_Zirock]

This isn't the Hitchcock version.

They cherry-pick what they want from it, though.

[Mord]

No problem with that either. I find it a very entertaining show and those who don't have access to the off button on their remote.

This isn't the Hitchcock version.

Yes, I know, I'm trying to understand the black dress comment.
