#like some norma fuckin' bates shit idk what that was

[faultyconscience]

real talk they put emma in some of the most ridiculous outfits while w/hook. like the weird 50s lookin little dress? what the fuck was that??

[consequentson]

The Bates Motel Series finale was everything I could have ever hoped for and more.

Unfortunately... my television reception was not. I missed the last couple minutes; the last thing I saw was what I’m assuming was a close up of Emma holding Katie’s hand. I’m so emotional right now idk if I even wanna talk. It was just... perfect. Perfect fuckin’ finale. Perfect goodbye. True as ever to all characters. Perfect.

WOWOWOW. What a start!!! I’m glad they didn’t fuck around with the confrontation with Romero – it felt… right. Like – they didn’t drag it out, y’know? I was worried they would. His plot this season was pretty cut and dry.  I knew the second he bent to help dig out Norma he was gonna die very soon though – turning his back to Norman like that, with his gun so easily reachable? Rookie mistake, but it seemed right, even for a badass like Romero, because he was staring at what used to be Norma Bates and… just…. Sdhjfjsjhk

I’m a little confused about Mother disappearing though. Like… Mother, uh, Norman’s still in a shit ton of trouble with, y’know, the death penalty hanging over his head and stuff??? But maybe she’s more leaving purely because Norman knows everything, like he can’t hide – he had to deal. I dunno. I’m a little confused about this part.

I’m also confused about Dylan’s immediate knowledge about Romero? He must have found out about what’s going on with Alex off-screen. Would’ve liked to have been shown his learning about everything going on with Romero, to know how/why, but I guess it isn’t as crucial as some other things so I get it, although I feel like they wasted a lot of time on much less important/relevant things, but… y’know, I’m not that fussed. I’m super happy he’s again reiterating that Norman needs help, not to be killed, and I’m super disappointed with Sheriff Greene’s refusal to even acknowledge the possibility that Norman is ill and her black and white view of condemning him. I mean, I get it, she’s friends with Regina and so on so forth and she would be her main concern, but she seems so dismissive about Norman. Kudos to Dylan for sticking up for Norman, as always! He loves his little brother so much, no matter what. I can only imagine how he felt when he was called down to the police department. :(

Sidenote: pretty annoyed they considered this episode “adult content” just because Romero dropped an f-bomb. I dunno if I missed the first few minutes or not because I had to guess a pin number to be able to watch :/ and it said it would only give me thirty minutes, which is dumb, bc what if it cuts out mid episode????

 HOLY SHIT wow that was

So painful

Casually just bawling

I’m such a wimp when it comes to flashbacks/references to series pilots in the finales like I just….

Wow…. And Norma… god, I miss Norma so much I feel sick… oh, Norman… my heart is just… absolutely shattered for this family… for Norma, and for Norman, and Dylan who’s gonna be walking in to all of this inevitably… I just… wow… beautiful. So beautiful. Well done, writers. Way to hit us right in the fucking feels… uuuuugh. Absolute pros. I dunno why I was even a little nervous, I mean – freaking Carlton Cuse, man…. I don’t… I don’t even know what else to write…. Just…. There was so much HOPE in the beginning, just… dreams and hopes and now… the contrast is just – absolutely gut wrenching…. Gahhhh this pain is why it’s okay this series is ending, it just – it can’t get worse…. Wow…

((((((

OH MY GOD IF ONLY THAT ACTUALLY HAPPENED BACK THEN THO

I AM SO EMOTIONAL RN? FUCK WHY DIDN’T THAT ACTUALLY HAPPEN

IS THIS NORMAN’S SUBCONSCIOUS SELF KNOWING HE NEEDS DYLAN’S HELP? BECAUSE DYLAN TOLD HIM ‘I’M YOUR BROTHER AND I LOVE YOU’ AND MAYBE PART OF NORMAN REMEMBERS THAT? WAS REMINDED, FAINTLY, BECAUSE OF THOSE GUESTS AT THE MOTEL?

I’m sorry I went all caps lock I just – can’t rn?? Like… really!? I AM SO BEYOND PHENOMENALLY PLEASED

LIKE WE GOT TO SEE REMO TOO! FUCKING /REMO!/ I’M JUST SO HAPPY WITH EVERYTHING SO FAR KSDHJSFDJH

I don’t even know what else to write while I wait for these fecking commercials to end

I don’t even care that there’s only 20 minutes left I’m just so pleased with everything so far??/

Thank you writers for recognizing the need for us to say goodbye and not trying to cram plots at us!! They’re just honouring the characters we’ve grown to love and that is all I ever need from series finales and THANK YOU CARLTON CUSE YOU BEAUTIFUL HUMAN BEING YOU ARE BEING SO GOOD TO US FANS?? We’re seeing Norma, we’ve said goodbye to mother, we’ve said goodbye to Romero, we’re seeing sweet, kind, good kid Norman, we’re seeing how far Dylan has come from the star… this is just all so beautiful and I’m just so pleased so far.

I’m just terrified about like… what Norman is gonna do now when Dylan shows up. I have this really bad feeling about the circumstances , like – I really still feel like Norman will die, but I’m so scared that he’s gonna die in front of Dylan, whether by Dylan’s hand or by his own hand, but for Dylan to ever get over that… oh, man…

I mean, I say I’m terrified, which I  am, but at the same time it’s just a fear because I’ll feel so bad for Dylan, not because I think it’d be bad writing if that makes sense

BUT WOW THIS FINALE SO FARRRR.

I CANNOT I LOVE DYLAN SO MUCH THO OK? HE IS JUST

HE IS SO WONDERFUL AND HE LOVES SO MUCH AND HE JUST HAS THIS HEART THAT IS CRAZY LOYAL AND BRAVE AND FEARFUL BUT BRAVE AND HE DOES STUPID SHIT BECAUSE HE LOVES PEOPLE WHO DO CRAZY SHIT AND I JUST LOVE HIM SO MUCH OH GOD

They really seem  to be wanting us to think Dylan is gonna die!!!!! Which just makes me so anxious bc I know he probably won’t thanks to the dumbass who posted those spoiler photos buTTTT that means something crazy emotional is gonna happen regardless and I just fucking can’t because everything has been so goddamn perfect so far I just can’t HANDLE ANY MORE I’m so scared kshdjfjsh DYLAN IS GONNA WALK UP THERE AND SEE NORMA’S CORPSE I’M NOT OK I’M NOT BUT I AM BECAUSE THIS IS SUCH A PERFECT FINALE???? I LOVE IT AHHH.

WOW I just kldshjkf I’m wasting time now tryna make commercials go faster because I am speechless WITH HOW PERFECT THIS FINALE IS I don’t even know what else to say EXCEPT THERE’S ONLY 8 MINUTES LEFT WTF I’M SO SAD BUT SO HAPPY BECAUSE WE’RE GONNA KNOW IT ALL AND THERE’S AN AFTER SHOW AND I MIGHT HAVE TO WATCH IT  AND I have no sweet clue how I’m supposed to sleep tonight honestly like I better just crash because this is ridiculous I’m so ksjdhsfjhdkjhf about everything

I have no words except that it was perfect.  I’m bawling like a baby tbh. Like… I’m speechless and just sitting here crying.

Unfortunately my tv stopped working lietrally the second the camera panned to Emma holding Katie’s hand so I’m missing the last couple minutes/minute. :/
