Sounds like you need to go rummaging in your “friends” closets to see if they have some robes hiding about.

They’re not your friends. 

Imagine my disappointment when Keene’s speech mirrored almost word for word what my college-educated friends told me this weekend; that they were suspicious of a show like Watchmen because whose agenda is it serving really? idk maybe the agenda of people trying to be more open and empathetic?

As someone here said last week. If they don’t stick the landing it’s the journey. That landing I think came very close. To humanize a superhero/god in the moments of death Manhattan/Cal was genuinely great and it was surprisingly moving. The mechanics to get there were fine in a kind of techno-forward dance club…

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

“Crudup Manhattan” sounds like a Key & Peele football player.

I wouldn’t trust many people to pull off an ending, but I trust the guy who did “The Book of Nora” wholeheartedly.

I do wonder how they are going to wrap it up next week, but I do not worry.

I think you broke my brain. Thank you?

Agree it was Viedt crash-landing on the Clark’s farm, and he’s definitely in that statue. Interesting to consider how it happened, with all the referencing of thermo-dynamic miracles (‘like oxygen spontaneously becoming gold’).

“if Angela’s children are Manhattan clones.”

The Wizard of Northampton grudgingly appreciating someone successfully expanding on his work? HAH! Next you’ll be telling me he’s going to vote in an election!

I don’t think they’re Manhattan clones. Judd tells Angela that Topher got his sisters and hid in the closet. I don't think Angela and Cal having kids was planned. 

I know Moore will never watch it and even if hell does freeze over and he sees it, he'd probably be too angry to engage with it properly. But I do hope he'd appreciate how much love and respect the show has for his work, even while it's boldly creating it's own unique narrative.  

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.

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…

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.
