Watchmen (HBO)

Tim Blake Nelson is awesome in many things and I loved that he got a spotlight episode this past week. Loved his backstory and the connection to mirrors that traumatized him. Funny how he's not as good at reading people as he acts/believes himself to be. He got fooled by that woman pretty easily. His world was just blown up. Crazy stuff.

next week looks like a real trip. Angela experiencing her granddads memories? Should be good.

Ignoring current conversation, this show is friggin amazing. That’s all from me right now.

Fucking awesome. So many other little hints and previous scenes make a little more sense now, too. Dying to see what the final two episodes have.

Also the piano rendition of Life on Mars? was nothing short of perfection.

Watched last couple episodes of Crown into last episode of this and the song was in both and that was fun.

Trieu seems to know that Manhattan is on earth but it's not clear she knows that Angela knows. Seemed like she wanted to drop that bombshell but couldn't.

Looking Glass is likely going to save Laurie Blake considering we don't know where he is and one of the 7th Kavalry members dead in his home is missing a mask. So he'll possibly be infiltrating them and people pointed out that Laurie likely planned on being caught (she gave Judd's wife a ton of time to get that trap door to work so that seems like she was waiting for it) once she knew that Looking Glass wasn't dead and survived the attack.

She knows he is Manhattan but does she know that Angela also knows this and has known it for years? At least that possibility is still open.




That doesn't mean she knows the future. She could have been alerted somehow or it's part of some plan that we don't know full details of yet. Or that scene could have taken place in the past...since the show has clearly played with time already (all of Veidts scenes take place at least a year after their previous one).

Well I missed all the damn breadcrumbs.

GTFO

I'm sorta asking myself this question as I watch the show. I've only seen three episodes (out of order. I've seen one, five, and seven lol..)

The music is so on-the-nose to me. I'm probably pre-disposed to dislike the show, based on what I perceive its politics to be and what Alan Moore (who is no doubt a surly MF) has had to say about it.

I'm as big a NIN fan as anybody on here, but Life on Mars?? Come on.

Yeah. Watched episode one and thought it was whatever. Saw another episode at a friend's apartment. RNGed a third.

Rereading the graphic novel now to prep for the show; can't wait to start.

It’s ok. Takes all the style from the graphic novel, but missed a lot of the nuance, characterization and themes. The ending diverges from the graphic novel as well. Some prefer the movie ending, but I think it’s nonsensical.
