Monday

Thanks! Not long to wait now!

If you haven’t read the graphic novel then a quick watch of one of the YouTube Easter egg/reviews will help. I’ve read it a few times and these were still helpful.

Apprehensive about this, the film was about 90 minutes too long and the usual Snyder nonsense that could have been condensed into a music video. Wasn’t a fan but if it’s a step away from that I’d give it a go.

So far it has been, very much, a step away

I heard the orginal Watchman writer totally washed his hands of it. And it’s all SJWs whiteman bad propaganda.

I heard the orginal Watchman writer totally washed his hands of it.

You clearly don’t know much about Alan Moore, he hates every interpretation of anything he’s ever written, irrespective of the quality!
Not entirely sure what you mean by the last bit of your post, unless you’re a Trump-supporting white supremacist who views any alternative view as leftist commie propaganda…
The events in Tulsa in the first episode actually happened, that’s fact, not fiction.

Well that was rather good.

I enjoyed Ep 2.

Here’s a Watchmen 101 to help with a bit of background to characters and events:

Oh, and some more to add to tonight’s episode:

Episode 3 is very good. Things are starting to come together. Very interesting new character emerges.

Is Veidt in some kind of simulation?

Is Veidt in some kind of simulation?

I reckon he’s on Mars, trapped inside a construct of Dr Manhattans, hence the small “mistakes” – Episode 3 has convinced me to stick with it. The Watchmen naysayers will say that it’s an afront to the book and what moore had in mind, but at least they’ve kept it squidy

I reckon he’s on Mars, trapped inside a construct of Dr Manhattans,

Yep,   Reckon that  Dr Manhattan is  “The Game Warden”

I’ll third that view, although Jeremy Irons’ accent slightly troubles me. It seems to echo that of Reversal of Fortune, and I am almost expecting him to say “that was the year Sunny drank too much eggnog”.
The contents of Laurie Blake’s attaché case was a little surprising.

I thought it was more like when he was Simon Gruber in Die Hard 3 trying to do an American accent

The building he’s in seems significant, the kid was building it in episode two:

I thought the GameWarden might be Manhattan, but then Manhattan wouldn’t care whether Veidt was killing Buffalo, also, the Black Freighter pirate flag will probably be significant somehow I presume……..ok, it must be good if it’s keeping me thinking about it, Eastenders doesn’t do this

So. Many. Questions.

And that lake. WTAF!

Half remembering the comic, sorry graphic novel, I wonder if Lady Trieu is half sister to Agent Blake? If she bought Veidt’s company, she may turn out to be his warder.

I’m guessing that Trieu is the one holding Veidt due to the cloning and business takeover, I also think that her daughter is a clone of herself due to Will’s reply, and he seemed pretty spritely and gave the impression they’d known each other a long time. Really digging the series so far.

I was very unimpressed with the first couple of episodes but (unusually for me) stuck with it and I’m certainly warming to it now though I don’t really know what’s going on. I expect to be loving it just as it ends.

Wondering if Veidt  is in an alternate dimension and  what he perceives to be his cloned servants are actually alien squid.

He fires them out of  his dimension in his catapult and they rain down on earth in ours.

And that lake. WTAF!

Which lake?

Has anyone found a good episode review/Easter eggs/theories site yet? Feels like theres a lot to overlook on this.

Which lake?

In the last episode, the lake full of clone fetus babies…

On a breakdown video I watched they think veidt’s timeline is one year per episode, the anniversary cakes have the same candles as the episode number, so he’s now 4 years in of being incarcerated.

In the next episode trailer they also allure to multiple dimensions, looking glass mentions this when he talks about the squid.

Great. Multiple dimensions, multiple timelines, this is getting like westworld but more complicated!

In addition to all the Media/Culture/Fan sites, there’s also the HBO Peteypedia – http://www.hbo.com/peteypedia – which has episodic updates.

Ep 3 was amazing, really enjoying the Laurie Blake character..

Useful if you haven’t read the comic (I haven’t):

Bloody stinking arseface country & western earworm! Islands in the damn stream!
The Deadpool influence is strong.

Mmm, I was wondering where the corpses would end up. This theory would be far from the strangest thing on the show.

Bloody stinking arseface country & western earworm! Islands in the damn stream!

Yep. Goddamn it. How do you make it stop?

I’m wondering if Veidt’s on Mars – & that meteor was him escaping.

Veidt is actually inside Lady Trieu’s giant clock.
Will is actually Dr Manhatten.
Red Mist is actually a pro wrestler.
Wade is actually the boss of the 7th cavalry.
I actually have no idea what is going on in this series.

Anyone still watching? Really really enjoying this, the week to week drip feed is much better than bingeing.

Yes – looking forward to watching the latest episode tonight. I liked last week’s adaptation of Hooded Justice’s origin to suit this story. Regina King’s acting reminds me how much I miss SouthLAnd.

Anyone still watching?

Yeah, I think it’s excellent. And I too watch it week-by-week and not binge it .. I like the anticipation..

As above. Loving it.

Yes it’s excellent

‘mrmonkfinger
Will is actually Dr Manhatten.’

🙂

That was good, total left field with the Elephant and the Life on Mars at the end, beautiful.

That was an excellent episode. The elephant was a big WTF!

I’m really enjoying it, sucks there’s only a couple of episodes left though (and may not be a second series) 🙁

Elephants never forget, doesn’t everyone know that?

The mega clock opens a portal and turns the entire 7th Kavalry into Mini-Manhattans?
Or is it waking up Daddy Manhattan in order for him to stop the portal plot?

I dunno, still confused.
