Squid Falls

Based on Episode Eight, squid falls are not on autopilot. Adrian is clearly actively causing them at intervals of his choosing. At least until 2009 when without warning or planning, he is teleported to Europa. And is assumedly still there. Possibly returning in 2019 when we see the comet hit...

Watchmen Episode 8 Review

Watchmen Episode 8 Review: “A God Walks into Abar”

Episode 8, “A God Walks into A Bar.” A Watchmen Deep Dive told in three acts. Act 1: Gene Lyons, a man who took two semesters of physics at Arizona State University, attempts to explain the string theory and bootstrap paradox of Dr. Manhattan’s existence while also arguing that Will Reeves destroyed Cyclops on his own. Act 2: Non-practicing Catholic Roger Roeper proves, once again, that any major TV character can be connected to Jesus Christ if you try hard enough. He also examines gods vs. men playing gods as he compares the archetypes presented in Ozymandias and Dr. Manhattan. Act 3: The King Bee explores what Adrian Veidt’s persecution in the post-credits scenes tells us about Europa and Veidt’s motivations. Oh, and he takes a stab at the horseshoe thing. It’s pretty good.

Nostalgia And Dr. Manhattan

2 questions that need to be answered… 1. Why doesn’t Angela know about the meeting between Dr. M and Hooded Justice? She should have experienced it when she was under the influence of nostalgia. 2. Why is the Game Warden different (personality) than the other Phillips on Europa? I’m assuming...

Candles On Cake Count Years On Europa

Love your guys show, have been listening since westworld. I will make this short and let you think on the consequences of this. I think each time we see the cake is another year Veidt was on Europa. The first time we see the cake he is fairly upbeat and...

Angela told?

Hey guys! Love the podcast! You are all doing a great job, as usual! This week I have been home baking Christmas Cookies, and while normal 30 something moms choose Hallmark Christmas movies, I have instead been re-watching Watchmen in anticipation of the season finale next week! I am in...

Episode 8 felt unnatural

Hey guys, this is Cody O’Brien again. Thank you guys for featuring my theory on last week’s newsstand episode. It was cool hearing your thoughts on it. Now I’d hate to say it, but I wasn’t a fan of Episode 8. I was actually surprised to hear that you guys...

Angela, Not Laurie

After another rewatch (i really liked this episode) i realize my wanting of the powers to go to Laurie wont happen because Dr. Manhattan loves Angela, the story is about Angela, and he probably threw his powers into an egg for her to eat. It makes sense. I get it....
