At first I was like boooo, but it was a good twist, and in this story makes more since, considering how much he disliked Sam.

I thought they telegraphed it, a bit, particularly after the wine throwing. Regardless, I liked how it went.
I was really rooting for Marion by the time they got to that point.
They way they're handling Norman/Norma is very well done. Freddie Highmore is convincing to the point that I was glad that he was calling 'Norma' on her shit. Then you have to say 'wait a minute, he's calling himself on his own shit.'
This show is really going out with a bang.

Perfect timing to finish the series as I am starting to get a little tired of post-Norma and the constant nagging. Another season of this would have been a disaster, so being the final season it was a great decision.

This was a very well done version of Marion's arrival and departure. My only problem was the head-on shot of the shower nozzle. It wasn't like in the film. They weren't able to figure out how to do it I guess. So many highlights in this episode.

I first thought it was a gimmick, a feminist switcheroo, but after living with it for a day I'm alright with the change. This show has always been about the Norma - Norman relationship, so does it even matter who gets it in the shower? The true tragic murder of this series has been Norma all along. I don't think I've ever heard a single Rihanna song (not that I was aware of), but man, what a babe! She's hot as fresh milk!

Another awesome episode. I'm gonna be thoroughly depressed if Norman bites it at the end of this series haha.

Norman looked really scary with blood all over his face.
Just hope maybe in the finale or sometime before the end they have the Bernhard Herrmann score or a fresh take on that theme.
