Hey guys. I’m a long time listener and big promoter of all things Shat. But, sorry, it’s time travel. Sure, it’s taking the form of a blue guy calling it “experiencing” time differently but bc the show has used that element as a plot driver in a linear story of...

Looking Glass New Manhattan?

Hey guys I discovered your podcast after powering through the first 5 episode of watchman in a day and I can’t get enough so keep up the good work. Doctor Manhattan mentioned passing on his powers to another person, I really hope the show doesn’t follow the path of well...

Where’s The Tragedy?

Dear Gene, Roger, & King Bee, Keep up the great work on the podcast! I have gained so much value in watching each episode by listening to your guys’ commentary and predictions every week. Some ideas to bounce off you guys: Point 1) Plot hole w/ Dr. Manhattan falling in...
