I want Emma to be the last one standing, after a wildly successful transplant. She's my favorite.

Hello Carm & Mal

Glad you liked the link and had time to read it, Carm.
Mal, now I remember I read way back that you watched the show also. Thanks for weighing in.

OMG, this is so morbid! I love it ...

I'm going to ponder about the one person I'd like to see make it to the end. Just think of ALL the characters who were "killed off" this season. I think there will be some more (bad) love interests for Norma, who will "get to" Norman. She's just too easy.

Wanted Bob to stay, glad Bradley is gone - wanted her back at one time, but her return character was boring, except for showing Norman's inability to have an intimate relationship with another girl.

Is Dylan sole head-honcho of the drug operation now?

I hope Caleb never returns but there is some reason they didn't kill him off. He came so close.

Thanks, ladies!

If I had to pick my favorite it would be Romero. He is so like Norma, fated by his parents, his life a hell hole because of his terrible roots which have twisted him by force into the man who he is now. But still he does everything he does out of a good place in his soul.

Molly and Mal, glad to have you join in Mal

Carm and Mal

I watched the last two episodes over again.

It's between Romero and Dylan. I do think Caleb will be back if Dylan continues on the show.

So I'll go with Romero, but Norma does NOT deserve him. She passed up too many chances this season. I am guessing the producer/writers will make it happen, eventually.

They chose the perfect song for that last scene. "Be My Baby" (Ronettes)

Until next season ....

All I can find is the season will begin early 2016.

Bates Motel season 4 spoilers: crazy mountain man makes an appearance, Norman unleashed

VineReport.com
By Pam Tan | August 20, 2105

Bates Motel will return on screen with familiar faces from its previous season.

Ryan Hurst as Chick Hogan or the "crazy mountain man" will return the fourth installment of Bates Motel, along with other cast members from Season 1 "that you haven't seen in a while," said showrunner Kerry Ehrin in an interview with TV Line. He will continue causing trouble in the White Pine Bay for the Bates family.

In the previous season, Chick hired Caleb (Kenny Johnson) and Dylan (Max Thierot) to go on a gun run for him in exchange for a huge amount of money for Dylan, which he needs for Emma's (Olivia Cooke) transplant surgery. However, things began to get complicated when the exchange was made through Chick's "partner," who was not expecting anyone at all!

"Norman unleased"! I can't wait.

A&E’s new teaser trailer for the upcoming fourth season pays tribute to the show’s Psycho roots, teasing the film’s legendary shower scene with a shot of blood flowing down a drain. Even the music gets into the Hitchcockian spirit, with a slow, creepy cover of The Supremes’ “Where Did Our Love Go” culminating in those iconic strings.

The upcoming 10-episode season will follow Norman (Freddie Highmore) as he spirals further into madness and Norma (Vera Farmiga) as she becomes ever more concerned about her son — and what he may be capable of.

Bates Motel returns March 7 at 9 p.m. ET on A&E.

Woo hoo! I am excited and 10 episodes? I think that is more than normal. I hope that it is as well written this season as it has been in the past. Norman is supposed to go to the Bin for a while so it should be interesting.

And Romero has a girlfriend it would be nice if at least he gets to walk away whole, and of course Emma

Hi all ~

I can't wait! Just seeing Norman in that robe gives me goosebumps for the new season.

Me too Molly. Creepy crazy Norman

OK, I have looked at all the previews and spent too much time on Twitter reading all the cast/producers' TLs. Finally made a hidden List with all of them for future reads, all but Norman .. he doesn't seem to have an account. Looked for "music" for tonight but can't find it (yet).

Tonight's episode will blend into last season's, but apparently last episode of Season 3 has been changed a bit.

I'm watching the last episode now on A&E.
The Bates Motel Recap (of all 3 seasons) starts at 7:45PM CT.

If you put in your actual address, they will place it in front of a photo of your home. Who does that? LOL

eta: I am NOT obsessed.

Woo hoo! I am so excited! I've watched the previews. My understanding is that Norman is off the rails and everyone knows it, it is no longer hidden. It also picks up with the Emma storyline and her lung transplant.

Oh darn! I missed the catch up show! I'll have to watch the rerun st midnight eastern.

Enjoy the show!

Oh my goodness! I won't mention any spoilers until Mal watches.

I thought it was a really good 1st episode and I wasn't disappointed. They are ALL such superb actors. Romero's part surprised me ... I have an idea why the change.

THAT last scene.

I agree Molly, we can wait for Mal for details but

Very well written again this season. And Alex be still my heart.

Does Norman seem to transform into a rat like creature to you? That "snitzle" nose he does is amazing.

YES, that is exactly what Norman does .. a slight transformation.

I swear, when I am watching, the story is REAL until it's over, then I remember & visualize the cameras/crew across the room. This is how I get through watching scary movies .. which I hate, but I guess Bates is more suspenseful.
