Bates Motel on A&E - Anyone Watching? *

I assumed this as well. I didn't even give it a thought that she could be real.

But allusions are almost never as they appear with this show...

 

I assumed she was real. I'm expecting to see her, flesh and blood, talk to Norman at the beginning of the next episode. We'll see in a few days!

 

I don't think she was real. The dog sure wasn't.

 

No, I don't think she's real either.

 

Bradley's dad was involved in some pretty sexy stuff, so maybe she's involved in the sex club somehow?

I'm going to go with her being real.

 

Me too

 

The description for tomorrow's show is "Norman spends the day with a visitor".

 

He puts on one of Norma's dresses and imagines a visit from Aunt Flo.

 

Looks like she is

Spoiler

real?

Here is what I was thinking last week and what I still wonder about today. From what we knew of Bradley when she was on the show, she was dead. She killed herself. So last week when I saw her, I thought it was another of Norman's many hallucinations. The thing we know about Norman is that he's psychotic (he's sees and hears and experiences things that others don't). So when a dead person shows up, I don't expect her to be alive.

Last night we were told that she faked her death. But there was such a lack of anything else with her that I couldn't say for sure that she was alive. When she and Norman were sitting in a red car just off the driveway of her father and stepmother as they were leaving, how could they not see her? That, and Norman's usual hallucinations with his mom in the room still made me wonder. She may be back. But until someone else sees her and acknowledges her, I think she's still questionably alive.

Things in White Pine Bay are becoming very interesting for the sheriff, Norma and Norman. I hope next week's episode keeps the storylines moving along nicely as they are now. Great show!

 

Next week is the season finale.

I think Bradley is very real. . . and quite sexy.

 

I prefer her as a blonde.

 

I don't.

 

So does Norman!

 

It's not a revelation that she faked her death -- we saw Norman and Dylan help her do it.

 

Wow, this has been a fast season. My guess is that Bradley, Chick, and maybe Caleb end up dead next week.

 

Huh?

 

Tonight's the finale! A lot of questions will be answered, I'm sure and new ones to leave us hanging for 40 weeks until next season.

 

Will Norman kill and stuff Norma tonight, or will we have to wait until next year's season finale for that event?

I'm expecting at least one season of "Norma" haunting Norman before the series ends.

 

T -15 minutes and counting......

 

I'm ready!

 

Tonight's the finale? I thought it was next week. Bummer

 

Tonight was it. Another good episode. Several things setup for next season. Hard to believe we have to wait 3/4 of a year for the next season. 10 episodes a season just is not enough.

 

Did I miss it, or were the murders of the women from Bob Paris's parties never really explained? It wasn't hard to think of reasons why they might have been killed, and their deaths were really only important insofar as they affected Norma and Norman, but still.... I kinda thought we should have had a more specific resolution of what had happened there.

 

Well that was a bit depressing. I'm finding myself feeling sorry for Norman. Nice use of Be My Baby.
