What was the last line you heard?

Wait, the episode was 65 minutes long. I think I missed the very last segment. Time to rewatch.

OMG!!! I turned it off when Marion drove away, originally. THAT was badass!

A few seconds can change everything.   

Pretty sure that final minute was my second favorite in the entire series.  It was really well done, much like Norma's death. 

I am glad they didn't try to re-make any of the most famous scenes.  There are nods and references, but the scenes in Bates Motel are totally different.  I think that makes this series all the more authentic. 

My favorite scene in the original is Norman and Marion's conversation in the office of the hotel.  It is an exceptional piece of cinema and, by far, the greatest scene in Psycho.  That dialog!  They did a nice job incorporating some elements, but ensuring they did not remake it.

Agreed. I also like the Bernard Hermanesque score that accompanied this episode.

My favorite line....."If I had a quarter, I'd make a wish" (Norman after dumping a body in a well)

My favourite scene from the original is when Arboghast interrogates Norman, and my favourite part of the book is the first conversation between Norman and his mom, when she ridicules his choice of reading and scoffs at his interest in psychiatry, that would have been great had it been in the film.

I'm looking forward to the final season, but we have to wait another week for it over here. I've enjoyed the series, mainly due to Highmore and the guy who plays Romero, although I think it took way too long for Norman to go full Psycho. All that cannabis farm palava was tedious too imo.

I know.  That storyline took so long it became legal.  haha

Last night's episode was pretty good.  Lots of interesting twists and turns in these final episodes.  Still don't know where they are going with Romero.

The woman who's caring for him seems slightly off. Notice he couldn't find his gun. She said that he must have lost it (I think not). It may turn into a whole "Misery" scenario (or she might be after whatever reward is being offered for Romero).

Misery with 3 episodes left!  That is exactly what this show would do!  hahaha

We'll, it would beat that badly dated pot subplot. This show has been quite a ride. I wouldn't put anything past them. Maybe Norman and Romero will wind up in the same prison. Then the series turns into "Orange is the New Black" or "Prison Break" for the final two episodes.

This week's episode was really boring.  The only part I really liked was Norma taking over... but then it didn't work...  Maybe that's because it's not the real Norma???  The real Norma got out of everything.  Now Norman is facing more charges.  Not sure how they're going to end this.  Hopefully not with Norman going to jail/institution.  That'd be a real cop out at this point.

This would be the breaking point for you?   After all the other aardvark feces we've endured with this show? You must have the patience of Job,lol.

The last two episodes seem to be going the "Law and Order" route. Maybe they can have a cgi Raymond Burr as Perry Mason. Would that even be far-fetched for this series?

That might get it back in my good graces. At least something would be classic besides the house design,lol. Raymond only lost one case, beat back Godzilla...twice, and didn't let a bullet in his spine stop him from continuing his detective work. CGI him in as DA Arbogast.

It wouldn't surprise me in the least if Romero is blamed for everything and they say he threatened Norman into confessing to exact his "revenge". But who knows. my kids keep asking me why I watch a show I despise. My only response is I guess I'm Psycho,lol.
