Damon Lindelof gifts one of the Watchmen writers a very... significant prop from the show (Spoilers+Volume warning)
- Thread starter MadLaughter
- Start date
Is there any other industry where you can gift a female coworker a giant blue dildo and keep your job?

Loved this show, I utterly completely do not understand some of the negativity towards it. Probably people who just cannot accept continuations of the beloved things they gate kept, I guess. Do we know about a season 2 yet?
Really? Giving your own work product?
That'd be like if I brought EA games to my work holiday party.
Lindelof said there are no plans and probably not.
I haven't even seen the show yet still somehow guessed it would be Dr Manhattan's giant blue cock
for the first time in a show like this I'm ok with that, I guess. I do wanna know if
she got his powers or a portion of them.
No, he did not say that. He said he personally does not want to be involved with a second season, but clearly left the show with room for continuation.

Apparently the language used in the actors' contracts imply more than one season.

It's mostly just that they told a super complete story. Somehow Lindelof answered every single question they posed. He says they used all the ideas they had, and that he doesn't have an equally good one for S2.
You have a quote for that? Cause I'm almost direct quoting him from the Official Watchmen Podcast that released last night
Edit: The actual quote I'm referencing
He originally wrote it to be a limited series. I think performance wise that HBO is probably really satisfied with it but I haven't seen any numbers reported (there probably are I just haven't looked)

Not really. He said he'd be open to it if he had an idea for it, but isn't in a rush to go out and make that happen. He's equally as excited to see what someone else would do with the material.
Absolutely nothing is set in stone regarding it. And as usual in hollywood, if HBO offered him the right amount of money, he'd think up an idea for it real quick. (which isn't a criticism, it's just a reality).
By HBO standards, it's actually a smash hit. I'm sure they are going to push for another season. It might be their most watched show atm (excluding GOT final season).
This is from his interview with Rolling Stone. https://www.rollingstone.com/tv/tv-features/watchmen-finale-lindelof-interview-925847/
Combine that with the last scene in last night's finale.

Best show of the year for me and I watched Succession Season 2. Just an incredible and unique experience. Lindelof is a god.
the last entry on HBO's site more or less definitively states who it is.
Not a matter of opinion, check out the Peteypedia.
Which is more recent though, him saying that to Rolling Stone or the podcast released last night?
Not trying to be a contrarian I'm genuinely wondering since either interview could have been made at any time, with one being print and the other a podcast, and things could have possibly changed between one and the other? But also as others have said, I'm sure if HBO wanted him back they could help him come up with some new ideas pretty fast hahaha
The podcast last night is probably more recent, although I think both sources are saying essentially the same thing which is: Lindelof has no current plans for a second season. Everything after that is basically up to what HBO, Lindelhof, and more likely other creators want to do. The material is there for another season (just based the last scene of last night's epidode) and Lindelho openly discusses others taking up the helm if there is content to drive it.
This is maybe the one time ever someone could get away with this haha.
That's standard, just in case, unless it's hard mandated by some big name actor that this limited series really just be limited (or at least they don't have subsequent seasons in first position).
