So glad to know that, when I first heard of the series my main reaction was, "please be good". A few years ago when Watching The Watchmen came out Dave Gibbons did a promotional tour. Fortunately I arrived early; the book store and organizers were caught off guard when hundreds and hundreds of fanboys showed up for the book signing.

Finally had the time to catch up and Episode 3 was amazeballs. 'Mister Shadow' as Batman surrogate being taken down by Laurie and the AVTF (Anti Vigilante Task Force) without much effort to start the episode, and Laurie taking down another masked vigilante near the end of the ep (at the funeral) without hesitation. Loved the way Laurie's 'joke' messed up at first, was interspersed throughout the episode, and then the punch line tied it all together; felt like very similar structure to an issue of the source material. Also really enjoying the music, both soundtrack and the songs used, from Devo to Desmond Dekker to Dance of the Knights. And there's even a little nod to the freakin' Black Freighter.

That's when u know a real good genocide is coming on Reminds me a little of Slaughterhouse 5, with the Tralfamdorians keeping Billy Pilgrim as a specimen to observe and that he is trapped in time "like a bug trapped in amber".

Soundtrack amazing again. feedmyleg posted:Y'know... regardless of how this season turns out in the end (nothing ever ends), I think we can all really agree that Lindelof swung for the fences. This show is so loving cool.

Zmej posted:there's some great performances in here. Veidt, Looking Glass and Angela are the stand-outs right now. I understand Laurie's suppose to be jaded and tragic but I find the snark just really annoying and as it inserts itself in every scene. it cheapens it since it's 110% all the time.

Sab0921 posted:The show is fantastic and was good enough to make me grab the comic for the background and holy poo poo that Rorschach backstory. The Nostalgia™ must be kicking in, I'm seeing flashes of 1987. Tenzarin posted:Hang on I watched this one... Thanks, I've now watched/listened to at least 6 episode recaps to help unpack all the levels this episode works on.
