“And now he’s got a Rorshach mask.” <— this is a damn good catch!

It’s not Nazi propaganda, it’s WWI Imperial German propaganda.  And I doubt that’s going to make him ignore the blatant white supremacy of the Nazis. 

It’s definitely not explicit, and I am 100% just inferring. But the comics are pretty explicit about the preferences and affairs of everyone except Veidt. All we really get is Rorschach wondering if Veidt is gay.

And Hollis Mason says that Hooded Justice expressed sympathy with the Nazis, which is totally incompatible with Will being him.

Topher! That’s his name. Think I blocked it out because it’s such a ridiculous name/abbreviation of a name.. haha

Yeah, my first thought was Topher, too. Cal surprised me. But I’d also bet money that the kid is Manhattan too. Everyone seems to forget how much he liked to divide himself into different beings, doing different things.

God, the literal elephant in the room shows up. That ep was like 7 or 8 great reveals in a row.

“if Angela’s children are Manhattan clones.”

I would still very much fear a white supremacist becoming like Dr. Manhattan. Especially a set in his ways conspiring arrogant person. Dr Manhattan did win Vietnam and claim it for the US. At the very least error in the side of caution on that one.

Veidt may be all flashbacks to when he was on Europa. He was then gilded and brought to Earth by Lady Trieu when her satellite spotted the message in dead clones. Or something like that.

Definitely on Looking Glass - one of the 7K in his shelter was missing his mask, so got to figure he’s wearing it.

I just immediately thought about his aggressively logical explanation of death to the kids. 

Honestly my first thought was Manhattan was Angela & Cal’s strange boy child (w/ his crystal palace model and other general disconnectedness), but Cal makes more sense overall. Great reveal either way!

I can’t help but wonder now if Angela’s children are Manhattan clones. The floating magnets, after all.....

sad!prediction: Angela’s grandfather says she’s going to hate him when the millennium clock thing is over, and he knows dr. manhattan is Cal, and his whole life is oriented around foiling the 7k/Cyclops conspiracy, HJ is gonna kill (or try to kill) Cal so that the 7k can’t get their hands on him :( once again…

Veidt was on Europa. We’ve been following him in the past. He sent a distress signal that said “Save me daughter” that was for Trieu. On Europa, Veidt was gilded (“guilty!”) and became a statue. Trieu somehow retrieved him, and that statue was in the ship we saw crashing into the farm that she purchased. She set the…

Lots of reviewers have said that making Hooded Justice black was a change from the comics...even though it really isn’t because everything that we knew about HJ was speculation.

Great review! This show goes well above and beyond the source material.

Also props to internet sleuths for figure out the twist early: the dildo’s name is Excalibur ——-> Literally for the Ex of Cal Abar.

Phew, I need to lie down.

What’s wrong with Kinja? Tried posting via Safari, Chrome and Opera and nearly pulled my…

Joelle,

As soon as Trieu said Manhattan was in Tulsa, we all knew it was Cal, right?
