I miss Dylan. I love Max Thieriot. He looks so different now though. He buffed up so much for his new show Seal Team. Too much muscle for me. I do miss Dylan though.

I haven't seen him recently. Only in House at the End of the Street, and now watching this finally.

kayrey · 06-29-2020, 05:54 PM

I remember him from a couple kids' movies. He's great in this.

I fell in love with him in House At The End Of The Street. He was so cute in that movie. It was awful, but I loved him in the role. He was great.

I didn't realize for the longest time he was the kid from The Pacifier with Vin Diesel.

I did love him as Dylan though.

I guess I can count that as a movie I love that others don't. I really enjoyed it personally.

Wait?! He was in The Pacifier?!

***BLONDIE*** · 06-29-2020, 09:27 PM

Yes, he played the son, Seth in the pacifier. I think he was sneaking off to do musicals or something? I can't really remember too about his character from that movie.

Oh wow.

I did not know that

I kinda miss this series and decided to rewatch the pilot. It was so good. Super eery and fun, and it's a much different perspective watching it a second time.

Bradley came on a bit too strong at first and it didn't really make sense why they were all over Norman right away. She is pretty though. I felt like they were kinda pushing that as a potential romance too fast. I also feel they could have waited to introduce Emma until ep 2 cuz her random scene felt a bit off to me.

Dylan was definitely intriguing right off the bat, wanted more of him but will be patient. I think the animosity in the phonecall worked well for the first ep.

Norma is so manipulative. She was trying to guilt trip Norman for not helping with the hotel when it wasn't even his choice to move there. Then she didn't want him to hang out with the other girls... very strange behavior. Not to mention the ending scene where she kissed his neck and the line on the boat "we belong to each other." Their relationship is so creepy (but fun to watch). I feel like the actors have way too much real chemistry lmao.

The cops were both great. Romero giving off very suspicious vibes, and then the other one clearly interested in Norma already.

The rape scene was the worst part of the whole ep, and def. one of the hardest scenes to watch in this entire series imo. Poor Norma. Rape is just so damn infuriating and humiliating and disgusting! It was sad that she felt like she had to cover it up, and how she reacted afterwards def. proved to me she's been through something like that before.

Forgot Richard Harmon was in this! That was a nice reminder to see his face, though I think his character is probably a bit forgettable in this series.

I loved this series so much!
