re: Bates Motel starts tonight

I enjoyed the episode pretty good. I didn't see that much happening in the first episode. They got the weird mom thing down pat already. The Sherrif visiting the hotel scene was pretty intense all the way through.

I'm not really digging the whole "Mom" instead of "Mother" thing. I mean, I know it's set in the modern day but come on. It's Norman Bates.

Wait, I thought he was calling her mother. I'm sure I'm wrong.

The kid did some serious Psycho watching/studying down. He has Normans quirks down pretty good. The way he ran upstairs was just like when the original Norman took off running. I know that's little, but I like when they get stuff like that right. Especially something in connection to one of my favorite movies of all time.

Wasn't bad, I'll give it a shot. Would like some cues to the Psycho theme in the score.

Also, every chick in that town is hot

I could be wrong, but I believe he called her "mom" early in the episode, but started calling her "mother" as it progressed. Not sure if there was a specific point where it changed.

is it me or does momma totally want to jump on her son's dick?

I got that vibe as well.

incest is the best

I've never seen Psycho either. I thought this pilot was pretty hooky. I think I'm in for Bates Motel. I'm a big Vera Farmiga fan, too.

I sort of didn't understand why every female that looks at Norman wants to ride his dong. His mom, the teacher, the girls in high school, the girl with the oxygen tank. ALL OF THEM.

How the shite have you not seen psycho?

That was Warren!?!

I dug the first episode. Interested to see how far they deviate from psycho, the interviews I've read have made it sound like they are changing up a lot.
