Is the Electric Slide really that much of a “black” thing? I would have thought it’s at least as standard for white people. Certainly seen it done at many white weddings and bar mitzvahs.

I feel like this might have been Lindelof just getting insecure about the way his other shows have been treated. “You don’t like mystery boxes? Fuck it, let me just lay it all out for you here.”

Ultimately, I’m kinda torn on the ending. Partially, I think it reduces the thematic complexity of the comic to something a…

I agree with you - I also thought it was weird that Trieu’s machine (and her palm) got annihilated by the frozen squids, but Angela was able to escape with what looked essentially like a Tupperware storage bin lid? And Red Scare/Pirate Jenny were fine?

I get what you are saying, first Keane and then Trieu, heck even Veidt, (now we’re going to freeze my squidlets and then they will...........) But they got this very complex show to the finish line. The talk in the theater though was necessary. Possibly also because I was mesmerized by Gossett’s fingers, the arthritis…

Hey, that was me! :)

I’m kinda with huja on this one - I doubt a car roof could withstand hail that Ozymandias likened to a Gatling gun.

Well, he did say in one of the best lines of the series: “She’s a raging narcissist.....it takes one to know one.”

The finale covered a lot of ground and felt a little incomplete and rushed compared with the pacing of earlier episodes.  A few things in particular were disappointing . . . Laurie’s swagger disappeared and her character was just a spectator in the last few episodes . . . the penultimate episode dropped the bomb that…

The journey was great. I was just a little disappointed by the ending. I know this is a very comic book guy thing to say and HBO’s Watchmen is a new story in a new medium and all that, but Dr. Manhattan being killed that easily (or at all, really) feels like a cheat. If you’re going to have a bunch of characters…

Season 2 pitch: Adrian ends up in the same prison cell as Dan for some reason and it’s a remix of The Odd Couple for 9 episodes.

”Finally, it has been my absolute pleasure to take this journey with you guys. Your comments, theories, and general messages of joy made an already great show, a wonderful experience. Thank you so much, TV Club.”

Thanks for the recaps. What a tremendous show.

Petey! The whole Fogdancing excerpt from last week all but confirmed it. V curious if whatever they add to Peteypedia this week will make it ironclad.

I know she was a baddie as well, but seeing Trieu just completely outthink, outplan and outflank the utterly overmatched Cyclops was extremely satsifying.

Whoever it was in previous discussions that called Veidt being in the statue, good work. I thought it was so far out of left field at the time that it couldn’t possibly be true.

Starting to feel like a lot of people owe Studio 60 On The Sunset Strip an apology, since those characters’ insane self-important attitude toward their show seems to be exactly what people are looking for these days from SNL.

I think you got so bent out of shape over their normalizing ‘both sides’ (which is very annoying, admittedly) that you missed stuff. Calling the Macys commerical a pretty decent sketch is.... wrong. It was fantastic. That one’s going in their annual christmas show best of for quite some time. Even if you don’t have…

I’ll add that I think this is the rare week when Dennis doesn’t go far enough to criticize the politics: Che’s ‘Trump may be a better president George Washington’ bit was a smirking, South Park-ian ‘all politicians are bad so everything sux’ bit, one that’s in line with a lot of Che’s political stuff.

This could be okay, maybe? A lot of the satire from the book feels outdated, but with some clever updating it could be at least as good as, say, the Altered Carbon show.
