Tim Blake Nelson is probably one of the most underrated actors working. He's definitely a "that guy" but he's also such a chameleon that sometimes you don't even realize you've seen him.

His full message was cut off and read "SAVE ME D..." which implies Dr Manhattan, but doesn't really add up considering he was trying to get photographed by a satellite?
If TBN and Stephen Root had a Southern Character Actor-off I think the universe would end. They're both far too good.
Not sure why you're spoiling.
However, I do believe they'll be looking for him in his house but he'll be hiding in his bunker guns ready.
holy fucking shit
could be "dan" as in nightowl or "damnit"
I don't think the times would match up properly, as Veidt would have known he was in prison already, but "SAVE ME DAN"?
great minds think alike
His delivery alone makes him compelling to watch. The way he said, "I know you know it's Looking Glass" after Laurie was clowning his name was great.
It was pretty cool we got to see the dead squid.The clone-a-pet store from the mention in the comics was a pretty cool consistent detail, despite being quite horrific at how non nonchalant puppers are incinerated 0_o
The Squid ground zero was really accurate too, green blood dripping down buildings, the design of the squid lines up very closely down to the pattern of the suction cup thingys, and you can even see the advertisement board for Pale Horse on madison square garden during the fly-over, never would have guessed we would actually see this event in this show.
Missed the D part, but agree it would seem like Dr. Manhattan would be the only one with the power to put Veidt in a prison like that. And the way the Warden was talking about their God abandoning them, sounded like him.
Yeah, following the discussion, a lot of people predicted much of what has been revealed such as Senator Keene being the leader of the 7K (or at least working with them), Veidt being in some sort of outer space prison, and I even saw someone predict that the pills would have something to do with memories due to Will's conversation with Lady Trieu about telling Angela about her past in his own way instead of like how Trieu's daughter seemingly was having nightmares of another person's life, probably from the nostalgia pills.
This was definitely an episode that made various plot threads come together more than making things more confusing and messy.
That would be a lot of dead bodies to spell that out.
I'd assume he'd just call Manhattan "Jon".
it's a lot like its namesake. cold food, but not the good stuff, like pizza.
jeremy irons has kinda always sounded old and especially scratchy
It's a long shot, but I think I'm favoring "Dan" -- it's about time we got that Nite Owl drop, and he's a tech guy, and he's already been alluded to via lenses several times throughout the show.
Next episode's gonna be wild.
You need to watch O Brother, Where Art Thou? He's great in it.
We also saw the police have basically the same Archie vehicle with flamethrower included, but no explanation for why they have his tech. It is a connection that will have to be revealed eventually. I'm not sure if I'm on-board with the "Dan" theory but it would be unexpected if Dan was in a position to do anything to help Veidt.
Is this the first episode of a TV show to ever feature 3 (or more?) distinct versions of Careless Whispers in a single hour?
Oh yeah, that was great.
Also
*crosses fingers for all 8 hours of Veidt's Redford Squid Tour about to go up on Peteypedia*
TV tonight was nuts. We have this and then Mr Robot 1-2 punch of awesome. Probably the best respective episodes of their seasons.
Damn this was a fantastic episode. The opening in Jersey was perfect and a level of fanservice I didn't expect but probably should've lol. The Veidt Method newspaper ad, the Knot Top gang, and then that beautiful Squid. And then leading into the "Come Back!" NYC commercial which was a fascinating look at what the feelings towards the city would be following the events of the comic (also loved the Michael Imperioli cameo). Was interesting to see the Squid Attack used seemingly as a stand in for every traumatic event in the last 100 years or so. Referred to as 11/2 to connect it to 9/11 (and the NYC connection) and then Spielberg choosing to adapt that historical event in place of the holocaust. But I think the 9/11 connection is more overt and the intended one.
With the Kavalry / Keene stuff, the show seemed to know that people likely already pieced together that reveal and so they dispensed with it quickly which I appreciated. Very curious what his endgame is. Same with the Veidt stuff. We still need his place in all this (aside from being responsible for what a lot of the other characters are doing like Keene, Trieu, and Looking Glass).
This show has me hooked. Cannot wait to see what's next.

Name one show that does world building better then this. Having speilberg do pale whale is awesome and really adds to the world.
That was absolutely insane! Fuck! One of the best episodes of any show I've seen this year. The opening and the ending especially...masterful stuff
That was some fantastic stuff. Man. An hour packed so much!
I was screaming at LG to go to Blake! Just freaking go and tell her! Ahhh!
Episode 6 is the one, y'all. It was the last episode critics received and everybody had great things to say.
I assume Episode 6 catches everyone up on all the plans and machinations, ratchets everyone up to modern day, and propels the protagonists to stop whatever bad thing is about to happen.
All cards on the table
I wonder if there's any significance of Veidt being on one of Jupiter's moons. Jon just being sentimental? Also this is assuming that Veidt's location is Manhattan's creation which I feel has basically been confirmed in the last couple eps.
Doing a rewatch now and it's interesting to hear Panda say "Hooded Justice is Dr. Manhattan" when talking to the Russian dude in the precinct. Will said he was Manhattan in the first ep. He's gotta be Hooded Justice.

There's really nobody else who would be capable of creating a pocket dimension on a moon of Jupiter.
Trieu may be a trillionaire, but I think that a soft-barrier self-sustaining earth quality clone farm biome/prison on a Jovian moon in a technologically stunted society is probably out of reach even for her
What a remarkable hour of television. I must admit, I found the first two episodes to be slow, but 3-5 have all been top notch.
I do think the episodes like this one and (presumably) the next, that focus entirely on one character but still push the story forward and fill out the world around them are probably the truest to the best issues of the Watchmen graphic novel.
