My immediate assumption was also that Trieu is the Comedian's daughter/granddaughter, but in hindsight I think it might be kind of a pointless twist to include in there, not sure yet. Still wondering what is up with that drat clock vis a vis the huge carnival filled with corpses that we keep seeing in the trailers. If they're going for the same kind of incident as in the original, I feel like it's a bad move to show it multiple times.

"Fed" is oversimplifying quite a bit. She's a former masked adventurer who clearly has all sorts of issues related to that, plus she and Dreiberg were caught doing superhero stuff and so chances are she started working for the government as a way to avoid Dreiberg's fate, which is apparently jail. She's always liked Devo (per the comic) so it's not like this alternate reality superhero show in which some guy fishes for fetuses is implausibly positing a boring old G-Man who happens to like an extremely popular band, which we all know could never happen in any universe. She's much more than just some random FBI agent.

Whatever complaints poepople have about the show, the litmus test for me of "this was a good show" is if after it airs, and I know everything there is to know, I can still go back and look at scenes or episodes and draw new information or ask new questions, and that the story and show and characters and design all stay internally consistent with itself. An example of that being bad is WestWorld s2 - when you went back and asked questions you suddenly revealed how nothing made sense. Contrast that with what I'm reading in the graphic novel, and at Comedians funeral it zooms in on Ozy while talking about miseries and death. At the time of first read through you'd think it was just a zoom in on a friend or whatever, but on your Xth read through/watch you can draw a connection about what it is impliying about Ozy So that would make a good show, if it could live up to rewatch or pondering like that and I never go "huh?..... what?" Instead, good sounds more like "ohhh!" or "drat..."

Trieu also said it "tells time" so its possible that like Dr. Manhattan, it allows her to see the past and future, hence knowing when the thing would be crash landing.

That's the line they tossed out so people would give Lost Guy another chance I'm putting on my squidfoil hat here but I'm positive they always planned on multiple seasons, they're just going to claim it's due to strong reviews and commitment to telling another good story or what have you.

I think there's a pretty striking divide between people who watch this show because of the Leftovers and people who watch this show because it's a sequel to Watchmen. (For these purposes, I'm putting everyone who watched Leftovers in the first camp, even if they read the novel.)

I've started watching this yesterday, it has some really dumb and inept parts, but overall is pretty ok. It's nowhere near the original in terms of story or tone though. Good music. I also kinda don't believe that it will be a self-contained story. There's bound to be some cliffhanger or dumb magical mystery. Hopefully no time travel will be involved, cause that could be the laziest resolution imaginable for this show.

Yeah the story of Will and Angela and the Police Chief will be resolved Concurrently the hook for season 2 will be introduced at the end of the season It's the time clock, and it controls time! Edit, yeah Lindelof has done other stuff since Lost, but is it really fair to describe him as the Cowboys & Aliens guy? I think people are gonna consider him the Lost Guy until he does something at least better than it GoGoGadgetChris fucked around with this message at 23:57 on Nov 16, 2019 |

For fucks sake you guys. https://www.slashfilm.com/damon-lindelof-watchmen-season-2/ Damon Lindelof posted:“I felt that if these nine episodes end without feeling like we completed a story, in the same way that we feel that at the end of a season of Fargo or True Detective, you know, then it’s not really Watchmen. It’s just another continuing show where you have to come up with a cool cliffhanger for the finale." It took them 2 years to make this show and they havent even ordered a second season, let alone begun the preproduction process. Relax.
