A lot of people are theorizing that it was him showing up in the suit at the end and picking up the Dr. Manhattan mask. It felt like a 'Dr. Manhattan just showed up to shut this shit down" moment.
Plus, the fact that he's back on Mars makes me think he has to be involved eventually. The comic ended with him leaving the galaxy altogether. If he came back to the same solar system, it's for a reason. Dude's a living chekhov's gun now.

Oh yeah, that was definitely the intent of the original series... I was just spitballing a possible explanation.
I mean, I can kind of see why he'd return to Mars, as it seemed like a special sanctuary of sorts for him... But Jon returning to earth doesn't really make sense to me -- especially if he actually intervenes in their BS again.

I had this great idea. After the first episode there is a media outlet with an article titled "Who watches the watchmen?" and then the article talks about the ratings of the episode.
I'm so good.

I'm watching this right now. It's kind of boring and painfully slow. Doesn't feel like it has anything to do with Watchmen outside of the Rorschach reference.
Yep. It was alright. Nothing particularly great about it aside from the score. It has almost nothing to do with the original comics so far. Probably one of the most disappointing aspects is that the Seventh Calvary (the guys wearing the Rorschach masks) are just racists that are killing cops for no real reason rather than some conspiracy group. Seriously, they have no connection with Rorschach other than the masks and being alt right.
