TV Review: Bates Motel: Plunge(2.06)

                                                   Bates Motel: Plunge(2.06)Review

• I liked that at the beginning of this episode Norma tried to get out of her business deal with Nick Ford after she suspects he killed Lee Berman.
• I liked how the girl who's in charge of the pot business brought Dylan back to her house and took care of him and wanted to makes sure no one came after him.
• I think it's odd how much Christine wanted Norma to take the open seat that was available on the council.
• I liked how Norma told Cody that she didn't want Norman drinking due to medical reasons which seemed reasonable to me.
• I liked that Norman told Cody he was sorry about how things were with her dad.
• I liked how awkward it was for Norman and Emma when they met up on their separate dates with Cody and Gunner and I liked how Cody and Gunner were so causally about the whole thing and friendly towards each other.
• I liked how George helped Norma prep for her meeting with the Mayor and told her that her personality was the best thing she brought to the table and that he was confident she knew her stuff.
• I liked how both Norman and Gunner were worried about Emma doing the rope swing but at the same time I liked how Emma encouraged her because she treated her just like she would anyone else which is also nice.
• I liked how Norman saved Emma when she almost drowned and had very short breaths after doing the rope swing.
• I didn't like how Norman lost it on Cody because it was something that clearly was an accident and it was clear she felt bad about it afterwards.
• I liked how the girl who's in charge of the pot business told Dylan that he was to run things secretly because her brother clearly can't handle the job.
• I liked how Emma thank Norman for saving her and that she was grateful for his concern for her and I liked that they both cared about if the other was okay.
• I liked how Cody said she was sorry for pushing Emma to do the rope swing and that Emma said it was fine and she wanted to do it anyways.
• I liked that Cody told Emma about Norman's blackouts because after the day before she was really worried about him and felt she should tell someone.
• I find it strange and a bit frightening for Norma that it seems she only really got the seat on the council because Nick Ford wanted her to and that she really isn't done working with Nick Ford.
• I liked how Norma stopped Norman from getting his license after she found out that he was having blackouts still because it's really not save for him to be driving if he has those.
• While I liked that Norman defended Cody against her father and I didn't like him I don't think him being dead is going to work out well for her either.

Please tell me your thoughts on this episode.

TV Review: Bates Motel: The Escape Artist(2.05)

                                        Bates Motel: The Escape Artist(2.05)Review

• I liked how Cody waited to drop Norman off until after he woke up and even though his behavior worried her she didn't pry.
• So I figured out that Zane burnt down Romero's house at the end of last episode and so he now has to stay at the motel. I loved Norma's reaction to finding out Romero's house was burnt down with wanting to know exactly what happened because I think that's fairly normal in that type of situation.
• I liked that when Norman learned that Dylan moved out he thought that they should try to convince him to move back in although he dropped it as soon as Norma told him to it was nice that he did show some concern.
• I liked how Norman pointed out to Emma that Gunner sells pot and I like Emma pretty much brought up her point about the rumors about Cody, I just find it interesting that they are both worrying about who each other is hanging out with being a bad influence.
• I liked how Norman got to see how Cody has a bad relationship with her dad and that her home life isn't pleasant because it made it easier to understand why she doesn't like parents and finds it surprising that he gets along well with his mom.
• I liked how Emma asked Norma about to expect for her first time having sex because she had no one else she felt comfortable talking to about this sort of thing.
• I liked how Romero beat the crap out of Zane and threatened to bury him because quite frankly Zane deserved it.
• I found the Nick Ford guy that Norma was working with on prevent the bypass from getting built to be very suspicious and I'm sure he's bad news based on Romero's warning for Norma to stay away from him.
• I really like the relationship between Emma and Gunner they're really cute together and he seems to really like her and I like that he was concerned for her safety when she took off her oxygen towards the end of the episode.
• I liked how Norman told Cody about how he has had a couple of blackouts before even though he tried to downplay it I'm glad he was honest with someone about it. I liked how Cody showed Norman her tree house which is clearly somewhere that is just her own so I enjoyed the two of them opening up to each other.
• I really liked the scenes between Norma and Romero where she kept trying to help him out and he was getting annoyed by it and she also kind of gave him crap about never smiling when he actually did smile, I just really loved their dynamic in this episode.
• I liked how Dylan tried to call Norman while he was waiting for Zane.
• I think it was pretty nice and stupid of Dylan to risk his life to save Zane's considering how much trouble Zane has caused everyone since he came back to town.
• I liked how Norma was fairly reasonable with how she told Norman she didn't want him hanging out with Cody anymore.
• I'm curious about Zane's sister and I think it's cool that she's the one actually in charge of the drug business.

Please tell me your thoughts on this episode.

TV Review: Bates Motel: Check Out(2.04)

                                             Bates Motel: Check Out(2.04)Review

• I liked how Emma was very concerned when she saw that Dylan was passed out drunk in his car and she couldn't wake him up.
• I think that Dylan drinking so much that it could possibly kill him makes a lot of sense to me considering what he just found out and I understand why his whole outlook on life has changed with finding out who his father really is.
• I liked how Emma pointed out that she had been through a lot of crazy stuff with the Bates family and that she pointed out that she wasn't exactly an outsider. While I understand why Norman couldn't tell her anything about what is going on I agree with Emma's thing with not lying to her about things he doesn't want to tell her.
• I think it's really messed up that Caleb doesn't seem to find what he did to Norma as something that she should still be upset about and I'm glad that it seems like everyone else disagrees with him on this point.
• I liked that Caleb gave Dylan back his money and that he left town by the end of the episode.
• I liked how Norma wanted to confront Caleb to prove to herself that she wasn't afraid of him anymore but I think it's completely understandable for her to still be afraid of him and to just want to never see him again.
• I thought the scene where Norman cuddled and comforted Norma to have a lot of incestuous undertones to it.
• I like how Norman told Cody that his mother is special since she is someone that would do anything for him, I like this because despite their relationship being creepy in a lot of ways that is actually something that is hard to find.
• I liked how after talking to Norman awhile and seeing how much he was worried about his mom Cody helped him come up with a plan to scare Caleb out of town.
• I like that Gunner didn't want to take advantage of Emma and that he's into her and that she into him. I just really like both of their characters and find them cute together.
• I found it a bit odd how George told Norma that Christine was taken by her because that phrase usually implies romantic feelings.
• While I do feel bad for everything that Norma had to deal with involving her brother I also get Dylan's point that she did use him to get out of her house and I see why it's so easy for him to assume that she never thought of what's best for him.
• I found it very creepy how well Norman is able to channel Norma through out this episode when he goes to confront Caleb.
• I like that Romero told Zane that he wasn't going to let this feud between the drug families get too big because someone really has to make Zane see sense.
• I'm confused by which building was burnt down at the end of the episode I'm assuming Zane was involved in the actual burning though.
• I liked that for all of Cody's bad girl traits it's obvious that she also has a kinder gentler side as well with how she takes care of Norman.

Please tell me your thoughts on this episode.

TV Review: Bates Motel: Caleb(2.03)

                                                    Bates Motel: Caleb(2.03)Review

• I liked how when Caleb first showed up at the motel looking for Norma that Dylan was suspicious of him and I understood why he wanted to get to know his uncle because he never heard about him before or really much of anything about Norma's past so it's natural for him to be curious.
• I liked that as soon as Norma saw Caleb she kicked him out of the house and that he did actually stay away from her the rest of the episode and I liked that Dylan was clearly concerned about her after seeing her reaction to him.
• I liked the friendship that developed between Norma and the old play director Christine because I really enjoyed their interactions.
• I liked how Norman showed he was worried about Norma after she told him her brother came to town because he knows what he did to her.
• I liked how Norman quit the play because Norma didn't get in and I liked how Cody a girl around his age convinced him to join tech because it would be fun even though it's clear that the two of them have two very different definitions of what fun is.
• I liked how Dylan told Zane that he wouldn't kill anymore of the other drug family's men after two of their guys were found dead because that would just led to an unless cycle of killing sadly Zane doesn't take his advice.
• I liked how since Emma and the rest of the town thinks Bradley is dead she held memorial for her because she feels guilty that even though Bradley is dead she still doesn't like her.
• I liked that Dylan tried to ask Norma about what happened between her and her brother before he decides to get know Caleb a bit better although Norma refuses to acknowledge how bad her reaction was to him at all.
• I liked the interaction between Norma and Christine's brother George he seemed like a nice guy and I'm pretty sure that means that him and Norma won't develop into anything or he'll be revealed not to be nice.
• I liked the interactions Emma has with that one guy that gave her a pot cupcake last season they were entertaining and I kind of like the idea of them strangely enough.
• I understand why it's easier for Dylan to believe Caleb than Norma at the end of the episode because Caleb told him more about Norma and his childhood in one day than Norma had his entire life and he's actually nice to him.
• I really hated how Dylan claimed Norma was lying about Caleb raping her because even though she does a lot of messed up things this is just something that I don't think she would ever even consider lying about because it's too horrible to say if it isn't true.
• I was somewhat surprised to learn that Caleb is actually Dylan's father which would explain why Norma has such a difficult time with caring about him.

Please tell me your thoughts on this episode.

TV Review: Bates Motel: Shadow of a Doubt(2.02)

                                      Bates Motel: Shadow of  a Doubt(2.02)Review

• I found it a little strange that Bradley spent the whole night in Norman's basement before she told him that she killed Gil but I can understand why she want to tell him.
• Even though I found it odd how Norma asked her doctor about blackouts I'm glad that she's taking Norman's blackouts seriously enough now to at least ask someone about them.
• I find the whole thing with Gil's death setting off a potential war between the two drug families to be interesting and frightening.
• I liked that Norma went to the library to check out books on mental health but I find it strange that what she seemed to take a way from her visit was that she and Norman should audition for community theater musical in order to bond more.
• I find it interesting that Miss Watson's father is the head of the other drug family and I find all the stuff we have learned about Miss Watson's lifestyle after her death to be very interesting as well.
• I liked that Dylan kind of guessed that Norman might know what's going on with Bradley and that you could tell he suspected that Bradley might've been the one to kill Gil.
• I think it's worrisome and dangerous that Zane the new guy in charge of the drug operation is pretty much reckless idiot.
• I like that Norman was helping Bradley get out of town and start over and didn't seem to try to be anything more than her friend.
• I think that for someone who claims to never sing that Norman is quite good at singing.
• I find it interesting that this drug dealer Kyle who dealt bad drugs, killed his ex-girlfriend and had had sex with Miss Watson shortly before her death who Romero is charging with her murder is someone that Romero clearly wants to take down but I also think Romero knows he didn't kill Miss Watson.
• I liked how Norma confronted Norman about the pearls she found in his room that they both know are Miss Watson and while Norman is still thinking up other possibilities of what could have happened that night Norma knows that he killed her and she's so scared she's loosing Norman because of this.
• I liked that Norman agreed to go through with the musical auditions for his mom after she broke down instead of driving Bradley to the bus station because Norma being happy was more important to him.
• I liked that Norman called Dylan and had him drive Bradley to the bus station and that Dylan went through with it and had Bradley write a suicide note so that if anyone found out that she's Gil's killer no one would try to hurt her for it.
• I found Norma's brother showing up looking for her to be frightening since I believe she mentioned last season that he use to rape her.

Please tell me your thoughts on this episode.

TV Review: Bates Motel: Gone, But Not Forgotten(2.01)

                                   Bates Motel: Gone, But Not Forgotten(2.01)Review

• I liked how after Norma heard about Miss Watson's death that she became slightly suspicious that Norman may have been the one that killed her since she knows he was with her the night before.
• I liked that Norman was really upset by Miss Watson's death even though he was the one that killed her he clearly didn't know this.
• I liked how Norma pointed out that Norman only knew one side of Miss Watson and I liked how you could tell that Norma was just holding out some hope that Miss Watson wasn't as nice as she appeared to be since she so badly didn't want Norman to be looked at as a person of interest in her murder.
• I was surprised by Bradley's suicide attempted early on in the episode but I was glad to learn that she survived it and then spent several months in a mental hospital.
• I liked that there was a 4 month time skip early on in the episode because that passage of time I think really helped the story.
• I liked that the motel was actually having pretty good business and that this put Norma in a better mood than normal.
• I liked how when Norman was working on taxidermy and said just let me finish this that Norma pointed out she had no idea how long that would take, I also liked that she was concerned with how much time he spent working on taxidermy.
• I don't really like how Norman sent letters to Bradley everyday when she was in the hospital because after awhile it just comes off as creepy rather than thoughtful.
• I liked that Dylan wanted to start paying rent to Norma and while I think Dylan did have a point about how the entire town is run on drug money I can understand why she doesn't want to take money that comes from that business.
• I liked that Norma was really concerned about Norman not being able to get over Miss Watson's death and his whole thing with spending more time with the dead than the living because this is something that should worry a parent so I'm glad that these were her concerns for Norman this episode.
• While the whole thing with the building a new main road is crappy deal for Norma and I understand why she's so upset I think it's completely unrealistic that she can do something to stop it.
• I liked that Bradley seems to be distant and a lot more screwed up than she was before since returning from the hospital. I find Gill being willing to give Bradley some information about her father (that Bradley is clearly desperate to get) only if she's willing to do sexual things with him to be majorly creepy.
• I liked that when Norman came over to Bradley's that he told her that he would always be there for her as a friend, I'm glad that he said as a friend because his crush on her creeps me out a bit at this point.
• I liked that Dylan warned Bradley to stay out of drug business stuff because he was afraid that she would get hurt if she kept looking for answers.
• I like that Dylan didn't contact Bradley because he knows Norman likes her and he didn't want to cross that line with him but I understand why Bradley would be upset with him because she really needed to talk to someone while she was in the hospital and he was really the only one she felt she could trust.
• I think that Norman going to Romero about Miss Watson just ended up making himself seem suspicious.
• I liked how Norman tearful told Norma what he remembered about the night that Miss Watson died and that even though Norma convinced Norman he didn't do anything wrong you can tell she's pretty sure that Norman killed Miss Watson during one of his blackouts.
• I found the scene where Bradley seduced and killed Gill to be pretty disturbing but I really do think that Gill deserved what he got for being such a creep.
• I like how Bradley went to Norman after she killed Gill and I'm really looking forward to where this storyline could go in the future which surprises me quite a bit.

Please tell me your thoughts on this episode.

TV Review: The Bates Motel: Midnight(1.10)

                                          The Bates Motel: Midnight(1.10)Review

• I liked how Norma went to Sheriff Romero the next morning after she was threatened by Jake and I also liked that she didn't feel safe with just Romero giving her his word because she doesn't really trust anyone in this town because she doesn't have a real reason to.
• I enjoyed the scene were Norman asks Emma to the dance it was a sweet yet fun scene that I really enjoyed.
• While I got why Norma felt like she needed a gun and I agree with her not thinking that Romero is trustworthy I also agree with Dylan thinking that Norma and a gun is a bad idea.
• I found the scene with Miss. Watson on the phone with someone yelling at them to be pretty surprising while compared to her normal tone. I also thought it was a bit weird how touchy feely she was to Norman when she asked him to keep the phone call a secret.
• I liked that Norma went to the therapist's office even though she mostly just lied because I think that's at least a small step forward for her.
• I think it's suspicious that Sheriff Romero knew exactly where to find the money that Shelby had.
• I liked the scene where Dylan taught Norma how to shoot a gun and I really loved that he called her mom once and I liked that seemed to make her happy as well even though she knows it was just a slip from Dylan.
• I get why Norman would dislike how Bradley came over to see Dylan I wish that he would have believed Dylan when he said there wasn't anything going on between them.
• I found it really sad and disturbing that Norma was raped by her older brother while she was growing up and while I think it's a bit strange that she told this to Norman I think that her reasoning of wanting the person closest to her to know the truth made sense.
• I liked how both Emma and Norman admitted that they've never been to a school dance before.
• I felt bad for Emma because Norman kept looking over Bradley while they were dancing and I agree with Emma's statement that Norman does like her but is too stupid to realize it.
• I was surprised that Bradley's boyfriend was in this episode because he's been gone for so long but I do think that Norman deserved that punch in the face.
• I find it odd how Miss. Watson decided to bring Norman back to her place and get change with the door open and I kind do thing Norman's hallucination was probably right about the seduction thing although I'm sad that she dead but I'm glad that Norman doesn't know it yet.
• I think that it's really suspicious that Sheriff Romero is willing to let Jake continue doing business in his town and I think that's a good enough reason for Norma not to trust him.

Please tell me your thoughts on this episode.

TV Review: The Bates Motel: Underwater(1.09)

                                        The Bates Motel: Underwater(1.09)Review

• I liked how at the beginning of the episode Norma questioned why it is that she always seem to attract crazy people in her life.
• I found it really odd that the thing that made Norma decide that they have to move is that a lot of people smoke pot openly that just seems like a pretty minor thing compared to all the murders from earlier in the season.
• I found the dream that Norman had about drowning Bradley to be very disturbing.
• I thought that the way Norma reported about the flowers she thought were from Jake to be very odd considering she didn't mention to the woman on the phone that she has good reason to believe that it's a threat.
• I liked how this episode showed that Norman is happy with living in town and I liked that it was mentioned that he wrote a short story that was very good and I found the idea of a man being on fire inside to be a pretty interesting one.
• I liked the scene were Emma told the stoner guy Gunner that he couldn't smoke at the hotel, I just really liked the way those two interacted.
• I liked how when Norman told Dylan about his dream of drowning Bradley that they both tried to play it off that it was a dream and didn't mean anything but it obvious that the dream had them both freaked out.
• I wasn't surprised to find out that Jake isn't a real name and that he didn't give out any real information because that guy has always seemed rather suspicious.
• I liked how when Bradley explained that she just wanted to go to her dad's office because she wants to feel close to him again that Dylan decide that he would sneak her in there so she can have her moment.
• I liked that Norman stood up for himself and told Norma that he didn't want to move because he likes this town and that he said that trouble always follows them because Norma does stuff that doesn't make any sense.
• I felt bad for Bradley when she discovers that her dad had been having an affair but I liked how Dylan told her that it doesn't change that her dad loved her which was the important thing at that time.
• I found the whole Norman and Norma sharing a bed thing to be very weird and I found it even weirder that the two of them use to have sleepovers.
• I was very frightened by Jake showing up in Norma's back seat and putting his hand over her mouth and a gun to her throat and threatening to kill her and her boys if she doesn't give him 150,000 dollars tomorrow night.

Please tell me your thoughts on this episode.

TV Review: The Bates Motel: A Boy and His Dog(1.08)

                                 The Bates Motel: A Boy and His Dog(1.08)Review

• I enjoyed the relationship that Norman and Emma's dad developed in this episode with Emma's dad teaching him taxidermy.
• I liked how Emma defend Norman when she heard Bradley's friends talking bad about him especially since the thing that Emma told them is something that she doesn't really like talking about.
• I understood why Bradley didn't want anyone to know about her and Norman but at the same time I understood why this upset Norman when she said she just wanted to forget that anything ever happened between.
• the man from room number 9 creeped me out through out the entire episode and I'm glad that Norma caught onto how creepy he was and found out that he was involved with the same kind of stuff that Keith Summers and Deputy Shelby were involved with.
• I liked that the people at Norman's school had noticed his strange behavior and suggested that he should be in therapy. I disliked that Norma once again tried to ignored Norman's obvious mental health problems and tried to get out of sending him to therapy.
• I liked how in this episode Dylan found out why his new partner has a problem with him is because he feels like no one really respects him. It's also mentioned that they can't actually quit their jobs.
• I understood why Norma would be against Norman doing taxidermy but I also really liked the way that Emma's dad defended having taxidermy as a hobby.
• I disliked how Norma seemed to get in the way of Norman really saying anything in therapy but I was glad that the therapist suggested that Norman should have therapy sessions without her there and that maybe the two of them should have private sessions.
• I liked that once Norma figured out what the man from room 9 was up to she made him leave.
• I was kind of freaked out by Dylan threatening one of the trimmers with a gun to get out of the car because he's the most normal person in his family so any time he does something like this it surprises me.
• I really loved the speech Emma gave Norman about why she told the girls about him and Bradley and how she likes him but she doesn't really expect that things will work out the way she wants them to and how she happy to just be friends with him, I just found that whole scene very sweet and I especially loved that it ended with hug between the of them.
• I liked that at the end of the episode Norma invited Dylan to have dinner with it being just the two of them, I just liked that their relationship seems to be getting better.
• I was really freaked out by the dead body that the man from room 9 put in Norma's bed because that was really creepy.

Please tell me your thoughts on this episode.

TV Review: The Bates Motel: The Man in Number 9(1.07)

                               The Bates Motel: The Man in Number 9(1.07) Review

• I'm glad that Sheriff Romero decided to cover things up in a way that would keep the Bates family safe and not having to worry about any other police investigations.
• I can understand both why Norma's upset that Dylan isn't going to stay to help her with Norman and why Dylan doesn't think that him staying there would do Norman any good and he still has a lot of the same reasons to leave.
• I liked that Dylan is really suspicious of the man in room number 9 because that guy is really quite creepy and his behavior has been pretty odd but at the same time I can understand why Norma wants to ignore all the obvious signs of that guy being dangerous because she really needs to have some good business.
• I like that Norma seems to like the idea of Norman and Emma getting together and just generally likes Emma because I too think Emma's a great girl and I like that Norma doesn't disprove of anyone seeing her son just certain people.
• I feel bad for Emma because she so clearly likes Norman but Norman is too busy convincing himself that he's in a relationship with Bradley to even notice her.
• I kind of really like the relationship that Norma and Emma seem to have where Emma confides in Norma while she tries to both reassure Emma and get information from her about Bradley.
• I feel bad for Norman with how he's the only one that can't  see that Bradley isn't interested in him in the way he's interested in her and I felt really bad for him in the scene where she tells him that their night together didn't really mean anything to her.
• I liked that Bradley did feel bad about hurting Norman's feelings and regret that she had a one night stand with him because she should have known that he would get too emotional invested in their one night.
• I really enjoyed Norman's relationship with the dog and how he just wanted to take care of it and how he thought that them having a dog would make them normal and I was really sad when the dog died at the end of the episode.

Please tell me your thoughts on this episode.

TV Review: The Bates Motel: The Truth(1.06)

                                         The Bates Motel: The Truth(1.06)Review

• I enjoyed seeing Norma freak out about the revelation that Officer Shelby is part of an Asian sex ring and I liked how Norman was able to convince her after a time to not confront Officer Shelby right away. I also liked how Emma saw all this and sort of realized how messed Norma is.
• I enjoyed that Emma wanted to so badly go to the police with the Asian girl and to get her justice but I'm not surprised at all that Norma said that they couldn't go to the police until after they got the belt from Shelby.
• I liked how in this episode Norman once again asked his mother if there was anything wrong with him and although she denies it to him by the end of the episode she does acknowledge that she knows that there might be some thing wrong with him.
• I liked how Dylan actual helped out with Norma and Norman's problems in this episode when he and Norman found the belt on Keith Summers boat. I also like that he brought up how he was suspicious about Norma being involved in Norman's father's death to Norman.
• I was very frightened by Shelby when he was trying to kill everyone in the Bates home and I'm glad that Dylan was able to kill him in the end even though both him and Norman were injured. I also liked that Norma actually called the cops so that Shelby's death won't probably lead to as big of a murder investigation as Keith Summer's death.
• I liked that after Dylan dealt with Shelby that Norma hugged him because this is one of the only moments when the two of them has shown that they do care for each other despite their troubled relationship.
• I was a bit surprised to find out that Norman killed his father but was in a trance but I had my suspicions since the beginning about the father's death. I also like that Norma told Dylan that he can either help her with Norman or get out of the way.

Please tell me your thoughts about this episode.

TV Review: The Bates Motel: Ocean View(1.05)

                                              The Bates Motel: Ocean View(1.05) Review

• I think it's a bit odd that even after Norma is arrested and charged with murder that she is still in complete denial about the police having any evidence on her and I didn't like how she somehow thought that it was Norman's fault she was in this mess because he didn't do anything to put her in this position.
• I really like how the relationship between Norman and Dylan is becoming closer and I love that Dylan wants to get Norman away from Norma in order to keep him safe from her negative influence.
• I liked that Emma was in this episode and I like that the mystery of the Asian girl was expanded upon during this episode.
• I feel really bad for Norman when he had to deal with Norma  accusing him of abandoning her(which he didn't do)even after he was able to get her the money to make bail and he found her lawyer. I also feel bad for Norman when he admits that Norma scares him which I can understand but sadly Norma can't and it only causes their relationship to become more strained.
• I was very surprised by some guy coming up to the car of the guy that works with Dylan and shooting him in the neck and I was even more surprised that Dylan ran the shooter over later on in the episode.
• I was slightly surprised to learn that it seems that Officer Shelby and Norma's feelings for each other are real and that Shelby is willing to destroy evidence for Norma.
• I thought that the message that Norman left for Bradly was really sweet and quite a bit awkward that made it all the more sweet.
• I'm glad that Norma was cleared of Keith Summers murder because that means that new plot lines can no develop in different ways.
• I felt bad for both Norman and Emma in the scene where Emma tells Norman that what Norman did with Bradly was just hooking up not a start of a real relationship. I felt bad for Norman because he really likes Bradly and obviously thought what the two of them meant much more than it actually did for her and I feel bad for Emma because she clearly has a crush on Norman and had to hear about how he slept with another girl.
• I was surprised and distributed to learn that Asian girl was in fact real and was being held captive by Officer Shelby for quite some time.

Please tell me your thoughts on this episode.

TV Review: The Bates Motel:Trust Me(1.04)

                                                The Bates Motel:Trust Me(1.04)Review

• I liked how Dylan saw that Norman snuck into Officer Shelby's house that he made sure that Norman wouldn't get caught in there.
• I found it interesting that both Dylan and Norman tells Norma that they think that Officer Shelby is untrustworthy.
• I felt really bad for Bradley this episode since her dad died but I really enjoyed her scenes with Norman in this week's episode I really enjoyed the bond they had.
• From the scenes between Norma and Officer Shelby I'm thinking that Norma enjoys their time together a bit more than I originally that she did.
• I find it odd that Norma doesn't find the fact that Norman hallucinates and goes into a trance often to be something that is of concern.
• I continue to be frustrated that Norma won't just tell the cops the truth considering it's obvious that they know she killed Keith Summers and she had a fairly good reason to do it so I think she'd be better off just tell them the truth.
• I liked that Norma broke down about what happened the night that she killed Keith Summers in this episode.
• I loved the scene where Norman tells Dylan about how Norma killed Keith Summers and how he's been scared of them getting caught ever since that night. The relationship between Norman and Dylan is the one that I'm most interested in on the show so far I like how their not really close but Dylan still worries about Norman and Norman feels like Dylan is the only one he can confide in when it comes to their mom.
• I loved how Dylan convinced Norman that he should go over to Bradley's because he deserves to have at least one night of being a normal seventeen year old.
• I'm curious about what exactly where the police able to find that has given the confirmation they need in order to arrest Norma.

Please tell me your thoughts on this episode.

Game of Thrones: Game of Thrones season 3 premiered this week and I really enjoyed the episode although it didn't feel like a lot happened in it which is okay because it was enough to just see my favorite characters again. I really loved everything involving Margaery, I loved seeing her offer kindness to the common children and how by her showing this kindness she was actually able to get some of the common people to like her which I thought was amazing since she used kindness in order to win the people over and it worked better than anything the Lannisters have done since Joffery became king. I also loved seeing Cersei barely concealed hate for Margaery in their scenes together and I loved how Margaery's kindness and smile never faltered, I just really love Margaery I have since her first scene but this week's episode increased my love for her by a lot. I really loved Sansa's scene where she was playing a game in which she would make up stories of where the ships were going and I loved that her answer to Shae's question about why would she make up story when she knows the truth was "The truth is always terrible or boring." I love this quote so much because it shows that even through all the things that Sansa has been through she still the girl we met in the first book in a lot of ways which I think is great because that means that her being held prisoner hasn't completely broken her spirit. I also enjoyed Sansa scene with Littlefinger when she tells him that she wants to leave king's landing and I love how she used what he said about her being a bad liar against him in this episode. I also really liked the exchange between Shae and Ros where they talked about how far they have come from where they started and how Shae said that she always looks out for Sansa, I just really love the relationship between Sansa and Shae in the show. I also loved all of the stuff with Danearys with how she actually has managed to get herself a ship and that she is now looking for an army for herself. I was also very interested in how Ser Barristan has come to join her Queen's guard and I'm interested to how she'll respond to his request.

2. Doctor Who: Doctor Who also returned this week and we finally met the version of Clara Oswald that will be traveling with the Doctor. I really loved this episode it had a really interesting concept with the whole wi-fi stealing people's souls and I really loved seeing how the Doctor and Clara interacted. I enjoyed seeing how the Doctor introduced her to the taradis and how he does things, I liked how Clara called the taradis a snog box and she was surprised that the doctor didn't really have a plan beyond finding the bad guys. I really enjoyed this episode and I'm looking forward to the next one.

3. Psych: There was an another new episode of Psych this week and it was an another great one. In this episode Shawn investigates the death of a circus performer and most of this takes place while he his helping Gus look after his girlfriend's son Max which causes problems for Gus because Max keeps seeing things that a kid shouldn't see. There also a bit of a brief break up of sorts between Shawn and Gus but things are back to normal by the end of the episode. Lassiter also as his girlfriend released from jail in this episode and because of her parole officer they have a few problems being together so Juliet tries to help them out. I overall loved this week's episode it was funny and had good character and relationship moments in it.

4. Degrassi: If you follow my blog you may have noticed that I haven't posted much this week and that would be because I have been watching Degrassi obsessively this week I watched most of season 11 and about half of season 12. Well I'm still really enjoying this show which should be fairly obvious considering how much of it I have watched this week. I enjoyed the whole plot with Holly J finding out that she was adopted and how she had to convince her bio-mom to donate one of her kidneys for her but I didn't like how the show somehow made Holly J look bad for wanting her bio-mom to help her out without paying her 20,000 dollars especially since it's illegal to buy organs. I just don't get why the show made it seem like it was wrong for Holly J to be mad at someone for holding an organ transplant that she needs or she'll die in the near future hostage but I'm glad that Holly J was able to get the organ when Fiona bought her bio-mom's old prom dress for 20,000 and I love that Fiona was so willing to buy it for her. I found the plot line were Anya was doing cocaine regularly to be pretty weird considering that it seemed more like the symptoms of binge drinking then cocaine and when her mom found out about it she seemed to take it far too well considering how dangerous cocaine can be. I really enjoyed Bianca stroyline in season 11 where she was doing things she didn't want to in order to protect Drew even though they weren't even dating at the time and I liked how in the second half of season 11 she was working on getting her life together and being a better person than she was before because of these storylines I really started to love Bianca has a character in way that I thought I never would and I also really enjoy her and Drew as a couple. I also ended up really liking Katie as a character after it started to be revealed that she not as in control or perfect and she pretends to by, I felt really bad for her in the election episode when Marisol treat her badly overall and told people about how Katie use to be bulimic and when Drew broke up with her and got with Bianca right afterwards, I also really love the relationship that developed between her and Jake. I also really love Jake as a character he's just seem like such a nice guy and he takes almost everything really calmly which isn't something that you really see on the show ever, I also like his whole plot about building a garden with Katie. I really loved watching the relationship between Fiona and Imogen from a nice friendship to a romantic relationship, I adore both characters and I love them together. I also have really enjoyed watching Clare and Eli get back together in season 12 and I love their relationship in season 12 even more than I did in season10. I love the character Cam he's such a great new character he's sweet, shy and awkward but he's also really sad and lonely all he wants to do is find happiness which he does with Maya and their relationship is really cute. I'm really loving the show and while I'm sure there's more I could say about it, I think I've said enough for now.
5. The Bates Motel: This week's episode of Bates Motel was a good one and it really dealt a lot more with Norman's character and the possibility of a mental disorder which I found fascinating because those types of things always intrigues me. I'm really loving this show so far and I can't wait to see what happens next.

TV Review: The Bates Motel: What's Wrong With Norman(1.03)

                          The Bates Motel: What's Wrong With Norman(1.03)Review

• I really liked how much Emma cared about what may have happened to the girls in that notebook if they really existed and how she explained that she didn't believe the story was true until they saw that shed.
• I find it very odd how defensive Norma was when the doctors asked if Norman had a history of blackouts which makes me wonder if he does of a history of black outs.
• I really enjoyed the scene when Bradley visits Norman while he's in the hospital and how she talks about how she just wants to be happy.
• I found it weird that Norma decided to take Norman out of the hospital before he was ready especially since the police had just gone to their house with a search warrant.
• I found it both interesting and sad that Norman doesn't know why he kept Keith's belt and I find it especially sad that Norman just doesn't know what is wrong with him and that this seems to trouble him more than anything else.
• I liked how this episode confirmed that Dylan has got a job as one of the people who guards the pot field and I liked that he asked quite a few questions about the town works because this town is a really strange place.
• I think it's interesting that Deputy Shelby was willing to withhold evidence in order to get Norma to date him and I find it interesting that even when Shelby was being completely open  to the truth that Norma just continues to tell him unconvincing lies.
• I find it sad that Dylan is completely estranged from his dad and isn't close at all to either his mom or his brother but I do like that Dylan does seem to care about Norman's mental health despite the two of them not being close.
• I liked how Dylan tried to talk to Norman again this week about how Norma's behavior is not good for Norman but this week he was much calmer about it so it seemed like a little bit of it actually got through to Norman.
• I find it interesting and frightening that Norman doesn't remember coming after Dylan with a meat tenderizer from last week's episode.
• I found Norman's brief freak out when asking Emma not to show the journals to the police to be very interesting with how it seems that he views being himself as a problem.
• I find it interesting and frightening that Norman hallucinated Norma telling him to get the belt back from Deputy Shelby and this also makes me wonder how much of what Norman was seeing in the basement of Deputy Shelby's house was really.

Please tell me your thoughts on this episode.

Fangirl Friday 33

Fangirl five Friday is a weekly meme host Nancy Drew is my Homegirl and what it's meme that has you list the top five things you've been fangirling about this week.

1. Revenge: I really loved this week's episode of Revenge like a ridicules amount of love for this week's episode I'm not exactly sure why I have so much love for this week's episode but I'll try to explain. I really loved pretty much everything with Nolan this week, I loved all the moments he had with Padma who I've shipped him with since their first kiss and never really stopped so seeing them say I love you to each other made me very happy even though I knew that something bad was bound to happen to her by the end of the episode. I really loved how Nolan just really wanted Emily there during the exchange with the initiative even though her being there wouldn't have made a difference. I loved how he didn't want to be part of killing anyone even if he knows that those people are awful and I like that it's this moral that causes the plan to go worse then already did. My favorite scene of the episode was the one towards the end with Emily and Nolan where Emily told him to start working on finding out where the test message he received came from and that she promises that she will help him which I loved so much because we don't really get scenes were Emily says she'll be there for him while we often get scenes with him promising to be there for her so it's nice to hear that she'll do the same. I also loved how Emily hearing that her father sent her letters while she was in foster care made her consider how much her life could have been if she had known the truth back then and while it makes me sad that she jumps to blaming herself for Amanda's death I'm glad to see that her death is still effecting her. I also really liked seeing Emily's old foster mother revealed to be abusive and that she is now ruined. I loved the last scene of the episode when after Emily finds out that Victoria has another son she has this smile that shows she'll use this information to cause a lot of problems in the future.

2. Psych: The 100 episode of Psych aired this week and it was a very entertaining episode which took place at a dinner party inside of an eccentric rock star or former rock star's mansion. The episode was hilarious and had a great cast of guest stars that made the episode even better. The mansion was also a great set for the episode because it was very odd with having a screaming doorbell, a hidden chocolate room and panther outside the front door that is known to ripe people's faces off. This was another great episode of Psych which plot had many hilarious twists and turns.

3. Community: This week I watched pretty much all of season 3 of community and I found this season to be even more enjoyable then the last I continue to love the shows willingness to have unique episode formats and I love the characters more and more the longer I watch the show. My favorite episodes were Remedial Chaos Theory, Horror Fiction in Seven Spooky Steps, Urban Matrimony and the Sandwich Arts, Virtual Systems Analysis, Basic Lupine Urology and Curriculum Unavailable.

4. Vampire Diaries: I enjoyed this episode way more than I thought I would so that was a pleasant surprise. I loved seeing all the scenes in the dinner between Elena, Rebekah and Katherine they were just really enjoyable and I actually loved them all. I loved that Elijah was back and I particularly love all of his scenes with Elena which isn't much of a surprise to me since I've always liked their relationship. I also enjoyed seeing Klaus suffer extreme pain while Caroline tells Klaus that he deserves it. I also loved that Stefan wants to get out of his toxic relationships with Damon and Elena once and for all because that's pretty much the healthiest thing for him to do.

5. The Bates Motel: The second episode of The Bates Motel was another good one but not quite as exciting as the first one which is understandable. I liked how this episode dealt more with the dark things that happened in the town rather than the dark things that happen within the Bates family. There was still lots of evidence of how messed up the Bates family is especially with the arrival of Norma's other son and even more evidence that Norma murdered her last husband as well.
