upgunned shitpost posted:I like the scene with the trapdoor. just some random old nazi bitch waving around an actual 'clicker' from a tv made in '78. no one would register that as a threat. ...not if you live in a world where supervillains are real and exist and you personally used to fight them! My response in the moment was "oh my god, DO SOMETHING"

She even gave Laurie a head start by loving around with the remote for a few seconds. Just punch her!

Even though this show is on HBO and its probably dark enough to do an incest storyline, there’s no way they would do that to the female lead of the original novel.

Orange Devil posted:I guess we give them the benefit of the doubt for at least another episode. It's actually just a mental health issue, really. I guess the show is going to sci-fi the explanation, but Keene's plan is to go into an intrinsic field chamber to become like Dr. Manhattan? Isn't there a throwaway line in the comic about the Soviets killing tons of people trying exactly that? And they intend to kill Dr. Manhattan, something Veidt also tried and failed to do with an intrinsic field chamber. I'd love if their plan is actually that ill-conceived and they straight-up fail in the exact same ways. But I guess we're supposed to take them seriously.

They're practicing with basketballs. They're going to teleport Joe's head onto Jon's body. Or maybe brain into skull.

plan is to mesmerise Manhattan, have him reassemble Keene, then destroy himself? edit: nah, doesn't explain the teleporters. Plus maybe only Trieu's team has the mesmerise tech, 7th cav have not been shown using it at all. I got no loving clue. I've been floored by every twist so far and seems like I will continue to be swept along. Really interested to see how Veidt works into this: Could be he set one or both sides of the whole plan in motion long ago and entrusted Trieu to carry it out. Maybe he decided that he couldn't take more slaughter and didn't want to be a part of whatever is going to happen. Has it been explicitly stated that all the guys and gals Veidt is hanging out with are Jon and Janey clones or is that just based on the play he made them put on?

Almost as though you only post in show's threads when you're able to say they suck without immediately being identified as a troll. I have been lol. Thanks for keeping up with my posting in this thread! I just don’t post in here because every time people got upset. I’m still watching cuz gently caress it I need to know. Not a good show in my opinion!

Rewatching the episode, when Angela is detoxing and connected to the other subject I wonder if not only were they trying to bring her back but also making copies of here memories and storing them for later. Is the other subject the keeper of all the memories? Also, I kinda like the anachronistic nature of this timeline. Sort of like Archer where somethings are old school and others are modern.

Why not just read the wiki or something? Because again I have to know and it’s just 1 hour (or less or more) each week. I watch a lot of stuff and right now I don’t really have anything I’m watching. I’m not up to date on a lot of tv like Mr Robot. I love the watchmen comic and have read it many times and for me this show has done a very poor job of being a sequel and adaptation of the source material. You don’t get stuff like the smaller details in wikis. I want to be able to discuss the show when someone asks me why I don’t like it. Sometimes people don’t want to hear about that, that’s fine. It’s not personal, it’s just TV. The only things competing for my time are a few games and maybe some anime series as well as movies/documentaries. I just manage my time to be able to watch the things I am interested in. Personally for me this show is a wash, but I knew this by the 2nd episode. The only thing keeping me here is just to see what other things they’re going to do to subvert or whatever. The soundtrack as well is still the only consistently good thing in the show for me. Prestige tv is weird. The only show I’ve truly loved recently is Twin Peaks the return and nothing comes close. I fell off the Americans and other shows on Netflix don’t appeal to me much at all.

If the clones are of Jon and Janey, wouldn’t their genetic memory imprints or whatever make them want to gently caress? Are the clones secretly loving all the time? Where’s the clone orgy scene?

Where’s the clone orgy scene? In what is perhaps the most subversive act possible for a drama on hbo, Watchmen has featured to date only naked dicks and man assess. There has not been a single boob or girl merkin anywhere on this show (naked clone butler lady in the aging booth was obviously a mannequin).

This episode had a great second half and a weak first half imho. Everything was very IM GONNA EXPLAIN THINGS even about little stuff including Looking Glass's murder spree. Second half was loving gold. Unanswered questions right now for me are 1. So if the chief of police was with the 7K, why did he take part in the first raid 2. Is there more subtle mind control going on with the 7K. People seem to do dumb poo poo around them and then get caught I.E. Looking Glass and Laurie. (Though knowing Laurie, she probably wanted to get captured) 3. How is the 7K so good at rigging lettuce to fall off trucks!?!? 4. LUBE MAN WHEN

Laurie was just surprised guys. The whole season her thing has been making bare-faced power plays to gently caress with whoever she's talking to and get them on the defensive. She was trying to do that with the widow by nakedly accusing her of being 7th Cav and was just honestly taken aback by her immediately confessing and pulling out a dumb looking remote which didn't seem to be doing anything. I mean who the gently caress expects someone to have a goddamn trapdoor in their livingroom in 2019? It was completely out of left field.

Did anyone mention that the truck with the 50cal on it, the one that was at the beginning of the show with lettuce, is outside Angela's house? I thought the ep was going to end with her house getting ripped apart by a machine gun siege

Part of me thinks that Keene's plan will go right, setting up a Trump analogue and portraying the futility in relying on trusting power structures to enact progress, and part of me thinks that it will go horribly right, transforming Keene into a real version of the squid monster that annihilated New York on 11/2. And I'm still wondering what Trieu is up to. It seems obvious that she and Angela's grandfather are going to hijack American Hero Story's signal to broadcast a hypnotic message, but I couldn't tell you what that would be or how it relates to the Seventh Cavalry's scheme.

Ohhh, save me daughter could be what Viedt wrote on the planet. The vid I posted seems to say Angela doesn't believe the Keene/7k plan that Lady Triue posited. Interesting, cuz there is a good chance that Angela actually knows what's going to happen because Cal told her long ago
