I might try to suffer through Ep 2, but I might just as well say fuck this over-wrought mess of a show.

Slow down and explain some shit!

You want them to explain everything in the pilot? That would be awful :lol:

The "weird" outweighed the "interesting" by a longshot.

At best it will be a niche series for fans of an obscure comic book.

It won't cross over like Walking Dead did.

The weird was the interesting.

Great episode.

Was the Klan robe planted in Jud's closet or was he A. Bigot? Is Will the second (or third) Hooded Justice?

Ozymandias and his play about Dr. Manhattan was crazy. Dolphin got his blue dong shot.

Then Will gets saved by MAGNET BlTCH!

3rd episode was the best one yet. I just can't tell if they thought the Ozymandias thing was supposed to be some sort of dramatic reveal. They played it like it was but it was clear from the moment he first appeared on screen who he was.

Yeah I think it was supposed to be a reveal. The bigger one is that Ozymandias is in captivity, most likely on Mars by Dr. Manhattan.

:shock:

I didn't think about that... so is Dr. Manhattan the game warden or whoever that note was signed by?

That's the rumor. I like it because the house Ozy is in is the same one Dr. Manhattan had built (and destroyed) on Mars in the first episode.

Could be underground. Could be in an alternate dimension. Could be far in the distant past. That's the thing with Dr. Manhattan. It could be anything.

I'll reserve judgement until it plays out. And maybe that theory is completely wrong.

The theory makes sense. Perhaps it is the personal hell they are all in according to the joke that was told.

Just caught up.

No idea what this show is about. I think you need a lot of knowledge coming in to enjoy this.

See I don't think you do.

They give you what background you need in the show. There's some nods to the comics but that knowledge isn't necessary IMO.

So pretty much confirmed Ozymandias being held captive. Maybe on the Moon instead of Mars. And maybe by Lady Treu instead of Dr. Manhattan. The fishing for "babies" was sick.

Lady Treu and Hooded Justice got a plan.

Tick Tock. Tick Tock.

Another weird fucking episode.

Ozymandias is on a moon of Jupiter. Maybe? And it seems like Dr. Manhattan is the God who's gone.

Looking Glass was a Jehovah's Witness on a mission in New Jersey when the original squid attack happened and it fucked him up ever since. 7th Kavalry gets him on board (Sen. Keane and Crawford are/were members) and he turns Sister Night over to Blake.

Angela found out her grandfather's pills were memories. And she took a whole bottle when Blake had her arrested. That's gonna lead to a bad time.

Using him as a JW was a good plot device, and Lindelof understands “doomsday” scenarios. That being said totally unbelievable representation of Jehovah’s Witnesses. Headquarters were in Brooklyn there is no chance they had someone from Tulsa go on a “mission” in Hoboken. Now the reverse, maybe but not likely. I did go to Russia after communism fell though to spread the good word. The Panda thing was pretty spot on though. Definitely don’t refer to “sinners”. Anyway that is just me splitting hairs over the representation of a cult of child molesters.

Loved seeing Michael from The Leftovers as young Will Reeves.

Great episode.

I haven’t met very many superhero movies that I don’t like. I only started watching superhero TV shows in recent years. Daredevil, Punisher and many others from the same film makers (?) were like movie quality. Wowzers. It got me to watch CW Arrowverse TV shows too (which are free online). They’re not close to good movie quality, but I watched a lot of the episodes and skipped over a lot of episodes. Watchmen is really well done in terms of the cast, writing, production value, etc. I’m really intrigued by it, because it’s huge in the comic book community, which I didn’t know until I looked it up online and talked to a friend of mine about it. I’ve been watching every episode.

Only 2 episodes left and I don't know who is telling the truth or who is lying.

Angela is crazy. Or she is hiding the mother of all secrets.

Lady Trieu is crazy. Or she is really.....no she's crazy.

Senator Joe could be a poster here.

I have doubts about whether this can all be wrapped up in 2 episodes.

I have no idea either, which is part of why this series is so great. I can't wait to see the rest of it. I'm pretty sure we're going to be blown away by how great this whole series was from beginning to end.

Her husband is Dr. Manhattan.

They just memory blocked him in order to be together.
