What is this guy's deal? WTF? He's keeping the secret? Staying at the house?

He obviously has an ulterior motive. Recording the conversation at the dinner table and writing stuff down. Maybe his writing a novel?

Yeah, I watched the newest episode tonight. This season is really living up to the hype. I find it laughable when I read people are upset Norma's dead and what not. It's a modern prequel to "Psycho," not "The Brady Bunch."

So funny because my sister just started watching it over the weekend (she's a psycho fan) and she texted me tonight with a omg he gassing her he killed her and I'm like uh yeah.

He's injecting himself into the story - so he can write his book = WTF
Will his pen name be "Bobby Bloch"?

I think he kind of liked Norma and is doing this as some sort of favor. I think he genuinely wants to help Norman. That would be nice

I'm not sure if I like Chick. He's so shady, but such an awesome dresser. Lol. I definitely gained some respect for his character the way he sent of Caleb's body in such a ceremonial way.

I'm guessing he's not from the books? I hope Norman takes him out in a big way. I wonder if he's going to end up being a big pain for Norman.

He is using it for his "suspense novel".I think he is fascinated by Norman's psyche. But he has other motives. I think he thinks he'll hit pay dirt when and if Norman goes back to the sanitarium. Chick probably thinks he'll take over the motel,the house, he prob thinks there is money stashed in the house, as well. I hate him and I'm just not sure why he is figuring so prominently in nearly every episode.

Chick seems to be obsessed with human behavior. He is almost like the audience, observing and sizing up Norma and her family. Interestingly, they've established enough of a connection between Chick and Caleb/Dylan/Norma/Norman that he can definitely have enough material for his novel, just has to embellish here and there to flesh things out a bit. I like how they slowly insinuated Chick into the story with the Caleb-Dylan Season 3 subplot, then found a way for him to be involved with both Norma in Season 4, and now Norman in Season 5. And it works because now Chick has had the most significant interactions with the most important character, Norman, for his novel.
