Text and/or other creative content from this version of Bates Motel (TV series) was copied or moved into List of Bates Motel episodes with this edit on 12 June 2013.

WWHD? (What Would Hitch Do?)

A little note if you want to get truly freaked out by this creepy show... if you have a PVR, go through the brief bondage scene in the third episode frame by frame, right before Norman faints. Check out the third to last frame, then the last two frames before the cut to the faint. I won't comment about the quality of the series, but just from those two frames alone, those two very very disturbing frames, almost subliminal, it's very obvious that the film-makers have been studying Hitchcock very much (and that A&E probably let this one slip by)! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.68.3.181 (talk) 09:23, 8 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hey guys? Would it be possible to link a new article with a chart of the "list of all bates motel episodes??" I know the show house of anubis has a page like this. I will do the episode descriptions and other information ect. but like I said I'm really bad with code. Thanks.

Creating a "List of Bates Motel episodes" page is not a good idea at this point. There is insufficient notability to create a page just for the episodes at this point. If the show is renewed for a second season, then the episode information can be moved there. Until then all information relating to the episodes should remain here. -- SchrutedIt08 (talk) 05:17, 19 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Also, please see WP:SIZERULE for this and any other article splits. To easily find an article's current size, just open the article's history. — Wylie pedia 04:26, 17 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the move request was: not moved. Arbitrarily0 ^(talk) 00:09, 14 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Bates Motel (TV series) → Bates Motel (2013) – A TV show with the same title also exists; see Bates Motel (film). It was not a true film, but pilot for television and thusly a made for TV film (by way of being a pilot). I am also requesting a change in that one as well. MagnoliaSouth ^(talk) 23:08, 6 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose it'd be Bates Motel (2013 TV series) per WP:NCTV if it were to be renamed, and you haven't shown the film is a TV series. A pilot does not a TV series make. 1 episode is not a TV series. -- 70.50.151.11 (talk) 05:11, 7 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose - exactly as 70.50.151.11 In ictu oculi (talk) 10:33, 7 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. This is the only actual series with that title ever made. -- Necrothesp (talk) 14:51, 12 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose for the same reason mentioned above. MrAdaptive343 (talk) 23:59, 12 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Contemporary "prequel"?

The article calls this show a "contemporary prequel" to the Hitchcock movie Psycho (1960) but the original Bates' Motel was located 15 miles from Fairvale in California fifty-four years ago while the current series is supposed to be in Oregon. This cannot be the same Norman Bates or even the same motel. Surely a prequel must take place in the past and not the present. OrodesIII (talk) 18:20, 5 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
