Watchmen was pretty good, always down for near future cyberpunk gang wars

I like that most of the world is America by this point, too

Yeah, I don't think it was supposed to be a huge jaw dropper.

My question is also looe where is he, metaphysically speaking? Are we allowed to discuss the documents on hbo's companion site?

yea I was a bit surprised when it ended when it did, it sure didn't feel like an hour at all

music was on point. that veidt stuff was hilariously macabre. also good to see wire alum getting roles even if it's minor. I like how jubilant that dude was. contrast to the newspaper guy in the graphic novel.

Yeah thats insanely obvious at this point, it seems like the chief may have also been the second man that shot Angela.

I watch with subtitles on, and I liked that the guy delivering the papers to the newsstand guy was named Seymour.

This did prove that they really should have done at least a two episode premiere of this show as the second episode re-contextualizes the first in quite a large way. Would have avoided some of the bad impressions of the first episode.

I only knew Regina King from her voice acting in The Boondocks, and now I want to see her as the badass-action-star in everything. She's really killing it.

The little Snyder minisode about Hooded Justice was great too.

Deceitful and black-hearted, perhaps we are. But we would never go against the Code. Well, perhaps for good reasons. But mostly never.

Why are you holy loving this? Like for real is there something else it's revealing?


Ok so Dr Manhattan wouldn't be such a fart huffer, and make a really wierd play about his own creation, nor would he ruminate on his own last words to Viedt "nothing ever ends" so, it's Viedt

But, the emphasis on how Dr Manhattan can't make his skin look like ours is a bit of a... distraction? Like, the way Angela and the old man argued about it made it seem like they were pointing it out as a thing that you, as a viewer, should start to become skeptical about.

that conversation with regina king and the old man gave me some lost vibes too in how the dialogue withheld information but somebody linked earlier how the show was written with an ending to the season and the mysteries set up will be resolved, so I have faith it will end better or at least have answers.
