Holy ---smurfing--- crap. She married the dude? For an "evolved being" Dr. M sure has a thing for damaged goods. I thought the Calvary was going to squid bomb some black folks.... this is the first time in maybe 20 years that a tv show surprised me and it didn't have to do with ---smurfy--- writing. So the scientist's dad has to be either Dr. M or Oz. I think it could go either way honestly, but my guess is it's Oz and the clock brings him back to earth where he can smarty pants a plan to save Dr. M.

I can't believe how impressed I am with this show. It's a shame that, apparently, nobody is watching it.

I'm watching it. A friend gave me the graphic novel as a birthday present many years back and it became one of my favourite comic book series of all time. I nearly didn't bother with this series when I saw it was written by Damon Lindelof (of Lost and Prometheus fame. Yuk.) and the first couple of episodes really weren't doing much for me, but I've been gradually warming to it and the Dr Manhattan twist at the end of this week's episode really had me on the edge of my seat. Really diggin' the Trent Reznor soundtrack too. The Hooded Justice origin story was pretty awesome too, interesting conceit to take what was a very minor character in the original source material and tie him so intrinsically into the plot of the whole show. I know the show is a totally seperate entity to the film, but if they do any flashbacks with the comedian, I'd love to see Jeffrey Dean Morgan back in the role.

I just got caught up.
I'm banking on OZ as the pappy.
Considering she bought the company when he went awol and is also ultra genius type.
I mean a moon on mars it seems.
BTW his "SOS" was fricken awesome.

also, whole lot of dude's asses getting barreled out the last few episodes.
jus' sayin.

One thing that has really annoyed me with the Watchmen world is the way masked heroes utterly pound the snot out of multiple people in ways that not even Tyson could of in his prime yet maintain the "no super strength" BS.

pbj:
I figured the scientist Trieu was going to be Dr. Manhattan up until the reveal. :lol

I do wish the plot would giddy up a little. I don’t see this being resolved in 1 season. Season 2 of American Gods was such a mess I’d hate to see it happen again.

have not seen american gods but it sounds a lot like The Almighty Johnsons.

edit: didn't realize last episode came out. went and watched right after this.
We now have a solid evil plot that makes all the other stuff make sense.
but who is behind it?
