Norman's dump sites in Season 5

Something about it just always bugs me. Wish they'd gone into more detail to explain. Emma's mom and that Blackwell guy were found in a lake. Their deaths were roughly two years apart. Were there other bodies there? It was strongly implied that Audrey's body was buried where they'd briefly planned on putting a pool. So are we supposed to assume Norman put her body at the lake initially? Or that she was under the pool and later moved? If so, when and why? And why a lake? He'd successfully hidden other bodies in bays over the years, much better option.

Did "Mother" tell him to do so? Not sure.

I would love it if they made a couple more seasons where we could see all that was happening between Norma's death and to where season 5 started.
They could if they wanted to.
I would definitely watch.

Mmm, I'm fine without, I think that'd be stretching it. The showrunners said from the get-go that they were hoping to do exactly 5 seasons, so this is one of the rare cases where a network let them do it exactly how they wanted, and I think that was generally to the show's benefit. I just wish they would've explained this one thing better.

I know they did and I'd rather have a great show where I still wanted more than a show that dies a slow death.

I'm just missing it so much that I'll take anything.

The Good Doctor isn't cutting it for my Norman fix! 😜
I don't know if you watch The Good Doctor but they finally revealed who Shawn's mother was and it was the female cop in the 5th season of Bates Motel! Cracked me up.
I was hoping it would be Vera. Maybe they can use her for a long lost aunt or something. 😜

I don't watch it, just not into doctor shows

[–] NormaAndNorman (3900) 6 years ago

I understand.

Cool idea though, always nice when there are nods like that. If she were to guest on that, I'd for sure watch that one episode for that reason alone.

If I ever hear of such a thing I'll try to post it!

I think it was Falls Lake. I don't think there were any other bodies there, but those two. [spoiler]I guess Norman put them there because it was close by. It wasn't the site so much as it gave Sheriff Green evidence against Norman for murder since she was checking into Jim Blackwell. It leads into the final season and Sam Loomis being added to Norman's list of murders to be tried.[/spoiler]
