Pretty excited for this considering how outstanding season 3 was. Crazy Norman is a blast to watch.

I'm happy to have this back. Hopefully they do stick to Season 5 being the final season so we can start to see the story wind down to a great conclusion.

There's quite a bit on Monday nights for me for a while. This, Better Call Saul, and I think I'm going to give Damien a chance.

It felt so good to have this show back. I missed these guys, especially Norma she's the best.


This episode was just out of control but completely awesome. Freddie was especially on point in the final scene, acting like his mother and drinking that tea. He's very, very good.

If this is a taste of what we have to come, this season is going to be great.

Remember that huge pit that Bob Paris dug outside the Bates' house?

Neither did the writers, apparently.

I'm glad I watched that recap special before the episode because I realized there were a lot of plot points I had forgotten about this show.

No I wish it could go on forever


I hope the drug dealing angle is dropped for good and it is just a Norma and Norman show.

I hope so too, but I don't think it's going to happen. At the very least, the DEA is going to be coming after Sheriff Romero.

Count me in as another person who wants the drug dealing angle to be dropped for good. Other than that, I enjoyed the premiere.

Wish I knew about that, I could have used a recap. That's the only problem with the short seasons, it's so long between them that it's easy to forget about stuff.

Yeah, I only knew about it because my DVR picked it up as part of the series recording. At first I was like "why are there 2 episodes to watch?" The recap was only 15 minutes long, you should check and see if they re-air it at all this week.

I watch so many shows that I especially for the ones that only air once a year it is easy to forget a lot of the details.

Given how much repetition and marathons these networks have, especially A&E, it really wouldn't hurt them to re-run the prior season in the weeks before the new season to refresh memories.

BTW they really have established Norman as a chickenshit, haven't they? Every time he tangles with men he gets his ass beat. I cracked up when that farmer/samaratin dropped him with one punch, then stood there looking around. But he has no problem getting violent with women. First Bradley, now her mom. Eventually Marion Crane. Not a good omen for Emma, is it?

Also, anyone else think Romero took a huge gamble? He sank the boat in daylight, right off shore. Someone could see him. And he didn't secure the corpse, so Paris could easily come loose and float up. I suspect he's gonna go down badly at some point.
