Dr. Manhattan is chasing that young tail throughout time and space.

Plus I don't think the Vietcong had a fancy tachyon laser cannon to scoop him up with or years of planning for the express purpose of doing so. I am kinda surprised they didn’t have the cannon hidden under the "you can't future-see what's in here" material they introduced earlier this episode. It gave that scene a kinda bad "either this is really contrived or they're spoiling that this is all part of his plan" when he didn't just vaporize the truck first.

For whoever it was (or multiple people) saying it's silly that he didnt kill all the Klansman/ stop the tachyon beam it should have been easy for him, after all he he wiped out the VC etc. It's likely because he know he has to be hit by the beam, he needs to not kill all the Klansman and get captured because all of that leads to something we can't see yet and his capture leads to something that (hopefully) pays off. Maybe it'll lead to that Utopia Veidt wanted in the first place, who knows? But likely there's some sort of happy end that comes as a result of his death. Plus honestly I think he kinda hates his existence and wouldnt mind a future where he's not in it.

I'm disappointed that this super hero show wound up being a super hero show with a time travel twist instead of solving race relations in america.

badjohny posted:So this episode confirmed the theory that Veidt's story is taking place before the rest of the story. The Dr put him in paradise right before he put in the memory chip. That was 10 years before the current story. The cakes that Veidt gets to celebrate his anniversary have not counted up to 10 yet. I think the one in this episode was only 6 or 7 candles. That gives him a few years to dig his way out, find a way to get back to earth, and crash land in the lady's field. Oh duh. I had just been assuming they'd been giving him a cake every day cause they're worshiping him. That makes so much more sense, and is hilarious.

It certainly does feel like they have a lot to wrap up in a 67 minute episode next week which does make me a bit worried.

Only part I really hated was Angela telling Hooded Justice everything by way of Dr. Manhattan time fuckery. Felt extremely unnatural, and I hate that kind of poo poo. Overall though I think it did well trying to represents Dr. M's sense of seeing time and how his fate is predetermined. I really don't know how all this wraps up in one more episode though, especially because the last few episodes have been somewhat slow and singularly focused. Now it's time to bring the entire cast back in.

She was born in 1976 per Peteypedia, she was 10 when her parents were killed, 32 in the bar scene and 43 in 2019 (just going by the years at least). Jon and Janey were both like like 30 when they met and late 30s when he met Laurie. Edit: yeah she was 33 in 1966 when he met Laurie. So Angela is well past her prime by his reckoning.

Definitely not understanding this influx of “uh it’s a superhero show it’s just supposed to be dumb fun” takes when the whole appeal of Watchmen was that it’s maybe the only capeman story ever that’s somewhat smart about social issues. Anyways rip to everyone who insisted that the twist at the end of episode 7 wasn’t the stupidest poo poo in the world.

Yeah it's really dumb. I really hope when all is said and done the series actually has something substantial to say. So far it seems to understand that Watchmen is an inherently political story/setting, and has tried to introduce political elements, but has done nothing substantial with it.

I want to hear more about your learned take about how Watchmen’s living god’s decision to live as a Black man with amnesia for a decade at the site of one of the most notorious racial massacres in U.S. history has no social commentary issues. Anyway, I have a compromise for Keene: he can go live on Europa and be King of a planet of only White people. No race mixing there! Also, everyone’s a moron, but he’s used to that already. Fish gotta swim, birds gotta fly, Manhattans gotta explode Rorschach heads till he dies...

The first masked vigilante was a gay black man whose origin story was the Tulsa Massacre and disguised himself as a white man because he knew the racist world wouldnt accept him otherwise. He discovers the police is a secret KKK surrogate attempting to brainwash African Americans into killing each other. His grandaughter relives this and now carries his racial trauma with her for the rest of her life. When is this show gunna make a damm point? Ugh.

knowing the exact moment you fall in love with someone, but not having any clue to the why or the reason they love you back is the one good time travel story. it's... mundane, I suppose, in the best way possible.

I'm glad they're not making a second season. One was too much. The wacky Veidt stuff remains great however. That and the soundtrack are the only things that aren't absolutely dogshit.

Anyway everyone is pointing out that there's a ton left to do in the finale so maybe hold off on takes that the show blew it because the penultimate episode didn't give them what they wanted. Nervous they won't stick the landing but the show has been so good I'm confident in them. This episode seems like it's going to stand out on a re-watch when I'm not spending the whole time stressing out about how much is left to do as the runtime dwindles down.

doc also knows sister night won't run from the life they've built together. now, later or previously nothing will change the fact she's willing to kill every muthafuck who gets in their way or die trying. he can rearrange every molecule in her body. he can send her across the universe. whatever he does, that bad bitch is coming back to tulsa with a gun.
