Howard_Casto:
Yeah but he wouldn't be on mars unless he was still distancing himself from humanity.

Mr. Peabody:
Doctor Manhattan is of course the insecure, self-unknowing character, unable to figure what to do with his capacities. He should come sit with me.

Howard_Casto:
Well I'm unsure why the creators of this show kept denying that this was a sequel to the original Watchmen, because it clearly is. It isn't "it's own thing" at all as it looks like the entire surviving cast of characters are going to be involved with the story in some way. They are doing a decent job thus far so I don't understand why they would want to hide that. I mean if you slap the Watchmen name onto a project isn't the point to draw in the Watchmen fan base?

Silk Specter was chewing the scenery this episode which was great. I love how jaded she's become. The giant blue vibrator was pretty damn unnecessary though... I'll never get that image out of my head. So if Night Owl II is in jail somebody else hijacked his ship because the one that swiped the car seems to be the original.

The writing has been good thus far but what concerns me is the fact that they proclaimed Oz's name this episode as if it was going to be some sort of surprise revelation to the audience. Unless you are dumb as rocks, you knew the old man was Oz from the previews before the show even started. Speaking of which it appears that Oz is trying to build a space suit. I guess we know who his jailer ultimately is then. I think it is suggested all of those hides he tanned in the beginning were skins from all the clones, but didn't he barbecue the last one? Anyway I guess Dr. Manhattan has him trapped in some sort of geosphere on Mars and all of his servants are in fact his jailers, meant to keep him comfortable and obey him so long as he stays put.

The show is 100% more watchable now... they've convinced me to tag along until the end of the season.

I dunno, man. The "sigh.... this thing again.... screw it, let me call my coworker and see if he's DTF" scene was pretty funny. Even ice queens have needs, bro.

And now we wait on that Dr. Manhattan reveal.
