"Romero flees into the snowy forest with Norman, whom he has taken hostage. Norman manages to get rid of him. Back at the motel, Norman welcomes a client and her children, as if nothing had happened."

Certainly not what I expected...let's just say that.

Ok so first, unfortunately I don’t think you picked up enough of the childhood trauma they revealed the last two seasons with Norman and how it created who he was. He deserved psychiatric help. Actual Norman only ever killed one person knowingly, Sam Loomis, after learning his father raped his mother and “Mother” compared Sam to him. Obviously disassociated with Norma’s death as he just remembers in the finale. His other “Mother” personality did the rest. It’s a Greek tragedy. Although I enjoyed you hating him, I wish you commented on the obvious tragedy of him and how this show literally showed how he was formed. Also, in the beginning Sheriff Greene says “Send someone to check on Romero and the Bates house” so they explained why cops weren’t stationed there early in the episode, you just missed it. And later they were focused on the area where the lady said she drove them to, it was explained in episode. And when Norman walked outside to the hotel and it was all bright and well lit, that was in his psychotic head, it was winter outside in reality, but they moved there originally in summer. There was a deleted scene where Emma immediately called the sheriff after hanging up with Dylan to send them to the house. Also, my theory as to why corpse Norma’s head shifted at the end was because of “defrosting” lol. This is my favorite show after Buffy the Vampire Slayer, so well written and acted. My favorite series finale after Buffy the Vampire Slayer and like Breaking Bad, Six Feet Under so please forgive me lol. Completely encapsulated the themes of the show. Powerful stuff to me. Loved Dylan’s arc, he just knew his brother was sick and loved him deeply, and he was right, he’s just very sick. He’s not bad he’s psychotic. I loved Psycho, so great to see a well written show focusing on mental illness and taking it seriously. While being funny, tragic, campy, suspenseful, and dark. So Alfred Hitchcock. Thank you for the reactions! 💛

No, I mean I definitely understand that Norman was a product of all of the trauma that he went through in his youth, I totally get that. I wouldn’t say that it justifies what he does, but I also feel like majority of the people around him through all five seasons consistently failed him as well and ultimately allowed a lot of the events to occur. I still think that it’s wild though that there wasn’t cops on the house 24/7. Regardless of any sort of throwaway line there would’ve been zero chance that there wasn’t cop station there throughout the manhunt.

You know I love you (in a non-creepy internet way), but as someone whose dealt with trauma from a very young ago I'm watching Season 3 and the way you talk about Norman breaks my heart. I understand being annoyed with the character, but making fun of her mannerisms and the way he talks, when he's probably on the spectrum hurts and this boy has been abused and groomed since before the show started by Norma and his father. He literally killed his father to protect his mother, who also abused him. Yes, he acts irrationally and inappropriately towards people, but he's never had good examples and people who loved him enough to get him help. You're blaming him right now for wanting to have sex with his mother...she GROOMED him to be that way. I can't see how you get more bothered by Norman caring when Norma dates than when Norma gets jealous of Norman's girlfriends. There's just a lot that you say that, as someone whose had to deal with very different circumstances, but you're very emotionally intelligent and to hear you talking about an abuse survivor like this makes me feel bad about myself. I know you're not meaning to, but you jump on Norman for everything without realising he is completely unwell and it's his parents' fault and Norma even keeps him from getting therapy when he comes to her early and tell her there's something wrong with him. I now you aren't trying to be rude or minimise anything on purpose. Just maybe in the future for movies/shows if you want to even ask while you're watching if someone's actions could be because of something I'm sure your fellow subscribers and I or anyone would be happy to answer questions about why a character might act in a way that seems completely ridiculous to most people. Please don't take this as an insult or anything! I just wanted to say it for the future because lots of great shows have characters that are complex and with your big audience it's easy to get great info. TLDR: Psych/Criminal Justice double degree and your'e so harsh on Norman, but if anyone just reads this please know I'm not judging Nick. I'm sure TONS of people thought this way when watching the show.

Hey Janet! Please understand that I am not actually making fun of anyone who actually deal with these things in real life. I am making fun, well...more getting annoyed at, a fictional character, who exists within an outlandish and unrealistic story. If I were to take a step back and look at it through a realism lens, yes, a lot of the actions of Norman make sense. The trauma that he experienced growing up caused him to be the way that he is, as well as the people around him consistently failing him over and over during the early years when he was asking for help. I love Norma, despite her flaws, because I love the actress. I dislike Norman because the character is written to be an annoying petulant child, who makes wild faces (Freddie Highmore is NOT on the spectrum). Thats truly all it is!

Janet Michelle- You Caught Me

Oh definitely. He is actually incredible in The Good Doctor which is an American remake of a K-Drama where he plays someone on the spectrum and he doesn't make those wild faces (trust me I know the ones you mean) on the show. It's all very subtle and character based. I wanted to reiterate in my comment multiple times how much I know you aren't one to judge and I know you've been through enough judgement and therapy in your life (woo go all of us therapy buddies) that I knew you meant no ill will at all. I hope that as you read my comment you could tell I never meant it as "Nick is a bad person/judgemental/hateful towards any groups of people". It was more like, "Ouch! I find Norman annoying too, but dang!" There are always going to be characters that just make you want to punch them, haha. Vera Farmiga is a queen and yes, despite how horrible she is as a person on the show she's definitely more entertaining and makes me laugh out loud at some of her outbursts. I do think that was smart of the writers because if she was just like Norman honestly it would be hard to watch because we're already watching two villains, so we at least need to enjoy the characters (kinda like Ledger's Joker...he's horrible...but so entertaining). You know I respect you and have been a longtime viewer and I'm a creator too and I just didn't want you to feel judged by me. PS: Please talk Alanda into watching Dangerous Animals, haha.

Also! The you mention Romero's hair. I used to act andI have dark hair and even during headshot photoshoots they'd sometimes color in where they'd part my hair with brown eyeshadow because it looks better and for women they use extensions/hair makeup and for men they use hair makeup. I noticed on "House" because Hugh Laurie has a bald spot and they'd spray it with gray makeup that kind of attaches itself to smaller hairs and makes them thicker and basically gives thin/balding areas coverage and that could definitely be what they did with Romero. Sometimes it's just a spray or even just a powder you shake on top, but it usually noticeable when you can even spot a part in one's hair.
