Gone But Not Forgotten



Great to see the show back. I wasn't sure when it was coming back, so seeing that the first episode was up was a nice surprise. The episode was good, but Norma acting like the 'good mother' kind of threw me for a loop. Last season she was unhinged and the harbinger of what appeared to be the seed that tainted Norman. So, seeing her being creeped out about Norman's morbid fascination with taxidermy and visiting the cemetery isn't something that "boys should be doing". So, suddenly she is June Cleaver. Other than this slight of hand thing they are doing, it was a nice return back to the show. Bradley's story just got better. Really wasn't sure what they were going to do with her character last season. Having her killing the guy at the end of this episode opens the door for her arc.....as well as Norman, who will jump at the chance to "help her".

I am so far removed from this show.

It's the classic case, for me, it disappeared for awhile and I forgot about it. And since it's so linear like Breaking Bad, I'm not going to try an jump in. Not even going to try catch up.

If it comes on Netflix one day, then that's probably my way of watching this.

If you have a DVR box (or whichever cable carrier you call home), all of Season 1 is On Demand right now.

All I have is Charter On-Demand. Apparently their contract is supplying only a handful of the latest episodes.

Very irritating. I started to watch SyFy's Helix. I kind liked it. I forgot a few weeks, I go back and all they have On-Demand is episodes 5-8. WTF.

Shadow of a Doubt



Not much really happened because the entire episode was about Norman helping....or trying to get Bradley on a bus and out of town to start her life anew elsewhere. It wasn't a bad episode, just kind of a filler one at that. It did however give us an iconic scene that calls to mind Psycho. With Norman reading Bradley's 'Goodbye' Letter to him, as he sits on the steps below, in the background you see a silhouette of Norma peering through the curtains of that infamous window. The final scene shows the introduction of Norma's Brother. I like how they are expanding the family, which is really the last thing I thought about with the show just based on the classic film. I like that the brother is being played by Kenny Johnson (The Shield, Dexter, Sons Of Anarchy). I just haven't seen much of him in anything since The Shield closed up shop.

Caleb




I don't wanna brag or anything. Okay, maybe I do. But as soon as Caleb and Dylan had their first scene together, I immediately knew that they were going to announce at the end of the episode that they were father and son. So when the twist finally happens, it wasn't a surprise, but a "it took you long enough to tell us". Overall, this episode flew by incredibly fast. Michael Vartan has a small role in this episode, which is sure to become a recurring character for him. But the thing that threw me of a loop is his face. He must have had some major work done, because he looks NOTHING like he did on Alias. If he didn't have work, I commend the makeup department for a bang up job. Paloma Kwiatkowski had a small part in the previous episode, but based on this episode, she's gonna have a bigger part to play for sure as Norman seems to have a thing for her.

Check-Out



Probably the creepiest and most disturbing episode yet for the series by simply having Norman climbing into Norma's bed and "comforting" her. Ick! And then later on, helping her get dressed and getting handsy. Double-ick! We finally get to see (and I mean really see) the psychotic side of Norman's mental state when he goes to confront Caleb and starts talking as if HE was Norma. Creeeeeeepy. As mental as he is, I don't think it's going to be Norman that kills Caleb. I have Dylan as the one doing the deed.
