Perched above an infamous motor lodge, Bates mansion looms even larger in our minds than on screen. Weathered and imposing, the house is an icon of toxic secrecy and insanity contained by wood and glass. It can unnerve us with a glance, as does young Norman, the meek epicenter of “Bates Motel.” His gaze is about to take hold of us again in season 3, premiering Monday, March 9, on A&E.

Last season wrapped up so tightly that viewers may wonder where the series will turn next. But then, many wondered where the story would wander, considering that the end game is mapped out over the last half-century.

First portrayed in the 1960 film “Psycho,” the Norman Bates we know has deviated from the overweight and lewd character fleshed out in Robert Bloch’s 1958 novel of the same name. With the precise vision of director Sir Alfred Hitchcock (“Vertigo,” 1958, “Alfred Hitchcock Presents”) and the svelte look of Anthony Perkins (“Catch-22,” 1970, “A Demon In My View,” 1992), it caused massive lines at theaters waiting to glimpse the innovative film with an iconic shower scene and a twist.

Iconic and twisted are words that work well to describe the series thus far. Enter Freddie Highmore (“Charlie and the Chocolate Factory,” 2005, “The Spiderwick Chronicles,” 2008) as a contemporary version of our young psychopath. “Bates Motel” lays out his childhood and relationship with his mother in a stark character study.

Sure, he goes to school, works at the hotel and has the attention of various female friends, such as the doting Emma Decody, played by Olivia Cooke (“Blackout,” “Ouija,” 2014), and Nicola Peltz’s (“Transformers: Age of Extinction,” 2014) broken-arrow character Bradley Martin who is slated to return in the upcoming season. Alongside these relatable elements, he is living hand to mouth surrounded by madness.

“From the start, it’s been nice to play against people’s expectations of who Norman is,” Highmore said

in an interview with “Collider.”

“He’s such a well-known serial killer, and you know how he ends up in ‘Psycho.’ ... I think the joy of ‘Bates Motel’ is in the nuances

the eye, and her brother Caleb (Kenny Johnson, “Chicago Fire,” “Sons of Anarchy”) returns to dredge up their sordid past.

Norma Bates is no stranger to the troubles that suffocate her son. The series pays as much care to the crafting of the ivory tower that is Norman’s mother with actress Vera Farmiga (“The Conjuring,” 2013, “Touching Evil”), who earned a Saturn Award for Best Actress on Television in 2014 Farmiga expanded on some of what drives Norma in season 3 in an interview with IGN at the 2014 San Dithat she has honed her entire life coming from such trauma, such and being

so alone and being afraid to be alone and the way she has persevered. I mean, look at the way she’s dressed — like a perfect little doll. A construct. A facade from the exterior … it’s masking such turmoil and death and fear within, and I think that’s the way she has learned to persevere. Just pretend it didn’t happen.”

And that is where we left Norman’s dear mother, in stark denial, working to protect her son and claiming they were indeed one and the same. Executive producer Kerry Ehrin elaborated on how much fun it was to peel back more layers on the mother-son relationship.

“That was a really fun area to explore because it’s been bubbling under the surface for so long,” Ehrin told IGN. “One of the things about this show that is so enjoyable to create is that it’s such rich terrain, and when you finally get to play out things, it’s really exciting. The idea we could graduate to a world where Norman had a little more consciousness, on some level, of who he was and that we got to see the progression of the psychological relationship between him and his mother is so exciting.”

Psychological relationship, indeed. Such subversive subtlety is at play, Oedipus himself would be taken aback. Not only does Norman idolize his mother, true to the original films, a large part of her resides in his psyche — be it delusional or not — that drives his violent behavior.

“You see that sort of split personality when he is taken into that different space at the end of the second season,” Highmore said to IGN. “It’s that different side to Norman, and the danger is when they start to become blurred. ... I guess there is this constant debate with Norman as to whether he is a good person or a bad person, to put it simply, and I think that proves that with recognition of the fact that he can do bad things, going so far to say, ‘I’ll take myself out of this world’ for the good of others, is the kind of ultimate selfless decision.”

The world of “Bates Motel” is moving from summer to fall. A season of decay and rot. The nights will get longer and rain turns colder as we trek up the blood-stained stone steps once again. You can check in Monday, March 9, on A&E, and hope the light stays on through the night.

Conan: Conan O’Brien

The inventor of the soy sauce dispenser bottle has passed away. Well, he actually died months ago, but was just found in the back of the fridge.

An old pair of shoes once owned by Justin Bieber has sold on eBay for $50,000. And I’ll be honest, they’re a little tight on me.

It’s been reported that Beyoncé wore $10 million worth of jewels to the Grammys. When asked why, Beyoncé said: “I didn’t want to bring the good stuff.”

It’s been reported that Samsung’s new Smart TVs could be listening to your conversations. The televisions are only listening to us because they, too, are getting bored with “Downton Abbey.”

It was announced yesterday that Brian Williams has been suspended. And a new poll just came out, and it shows Brian Williams has fallen from No. 23 to No. 835 on the “Most Trustworthy Celebrity” list. This puts him right between Kanye West and Voldemort.

Night at the Museum: Secret of the Tomb

It’s time for one final adventure in this third and final installment of the popular comedy trilogy that features an all-star cast. When the Museum of Natural History’s exhibits begin to behave erratically, Larry (Stiller) launches an investigation into the ancient Egyptian tablet that magically brings them to life at night. His investigations lead him to the boy, now an elderly man, who discovered it in an Egyptian

tomb decades earlier, who warns him of the curse attached to it: that removing the tablet from the tomb will cause the end to come.

Director:ShawnLevy.Stars:Ben Stiller,RobinWilliams,OwenWilson.2014.98min.Comedy.

ON WHEELS

By Andrew Warren TV Media

When you’re one of the world’s top chefs, you don’t have to demand the spotlight — the spotlight comes to you.

Eric Ripert certainly deserves to be called one of the planet’s top culinary masterminds. His New York City restaurant, Le Bernardin, was named one of the best restaurants in the world by British magazine “Restaurant” and sits atop three coveted Michelin stars.

Clearly, this French chef knows his food, and like so many great chefs these days, he’s happy to share an inside view of what makes him tick.

“Avec Eric,” which aired on PBS for its first two seasons, has found itself a new home on the Cooking Channel. Airing Saturday mornings, it’s an inside and intimate view of Ripert’s constant search for culinary inspiration.

The Emmy and James Beard Award-winning series follows the chef on his journeys for culinary inspiration around the world, and also lands closer to home when he takes us inside his own kitchen to cook up some delicious meals.

This season, Ripert is headed to the land down under. Sydney, Aus-

tralia, is renowned for its international dining scene, but that’s far from the only thing he’s looking to experience. The southern continent has a wealth of ingredients and culinary traditions, from the indigenous foods of western Australia to the tasty fish that live in the Northern Territory (caught while fishing from a helicopter, of

course), and Ripert is here to experience as much as he can.

Australia isn’t the only exotic land he’s visiting this season. He also has his sights set on the land of kimchi, the fermented vegetable dish that’s the iconic culinary symbol of Korea.

Of course, kimchi isn’t the only native food Ripert will be experiencing in South Korea — although he will be learning a bit about how more than 150 varieties are produced. He’ll also be checking out the gochujang (a

hot pepper paste), trying some traditional temple foods and even visiting the demilitarized zone between North and South Korea to find some of the world’s most sought-after ginseng. When you’re one of the most respected chefs on the planet, the constant search for culinary inspiration seems to know no borders including the borders between TV channels. Old fans and curious new ones can find “Avec Eric” airing Saturday mornings on the Cooking Channel.
