Watchmen

3rd ep was an improvement, but I'm still not fully sold on this, just enough to watch another ep. The main character, Sister Night, is just kinda bland and I don't care about her.

Ozy's story is the most interesting part of the show.

Laurie Blake is the second most interesting.

Looking Glass is good, but he's a minor player thus far. Seems to solely exist to move Sister Night's plot along.

Sorry it's terrible and I have now officially stopped watching it.

Actually a good episode.

Yeah massive improvement.

Definitely a step in the right direction.

I like how those phone booths have basically become alters that people use to 'pray' to Manhattan. 👆

So is the consensus that

Spoiler:
Manhattan has created an environment/ecosystem...likely on Mars...and has trapped Ozy there in a perpetual time-loop(essentially his own little Hell) that he is seeking to escape by way of the catapults and space suits he's cobbling together..?

^ Interesting theory

Episode 3 should have been the premiere episode. It's easily the best one so far. We're *finally* getting somewhere with this show.

While I do like this theory, as it certainly makes sense especially in regards to the suit that failed to protect from the cold, the "warden" guy and the rest of the world thinking Veidt is dead.

There's one HUGE hole.

Spoiler:
Without Veidt's tachyon device, Manhattan would already be aware of any attempts to break free.

Getting a bad feeling they're trying to be too smart for their own good with this and it'll end up a garbled mess like Wayward Pines or the 2nd season of Westworld or True Detective. I hope not though. Lindelof doesn't exactly have a sterling track record of implementing deep themes in his writing. You usually end up with trash like Lost and Prometheus.

^ Lost wasn't trash.

Lost and Leftovers are probably in the top 10 best shows of all time (and I'd say top 2 when it comes to fantasy/science fiction) and those are I believe the only major projects Damon Lindelof had a central creative role in before this.

Lost is no STtos or GOT.

I love Star Trek TOS but it's not even the best Star Trek (that would be DS9) and GOT's overrated. Battlestar Galactica and Westworld are better competition I'd say.

Spoiler:
Ozy is on the moon, and Lady Trieu is behind it.

I read a pretty interesting theory that I think is likely.

Spoiler:
To escape, Ozy encased himself in metal and used the catapult to launch himself to Earth. That meteor at the beginning is him and the statue that Trieu owns is actually Ozy still encased in metal.

I like that, and it does seem likely. Probably why they made it a point to comment on the statue's appearance and whatnot.

THIS was a great episode!

Yeah, a pretty good episode. Funny that the best episodes don’t focus on the MC.
