Watchmen |OT| This is the Moment

My only gripe is not hinting at Doc Justice, and in fact implying he didn't have his powers. Or maybe he does and is hiding them.
The whole season was perfect. One of the most beautiful shows I've ever seen. I knew Lindelof would be the perfect fit for this series after watching The Leftovers.
What a payoff ! Lindelof delivered with this one.
I knew they were going to show her foot linger and move slowly and then cut away right when it touched water, before it happened. But I think it's safe to assume that she has the power now seeing how Lindelof confirms it too, might as well have shown the foot staying afloat.
Is there going to be a season 2 or is it done/unconfirmed?

I actually agree with that, the cops seemed to have been doing mostly fine despite being out there for quite a while, whereas the very first drop poked a hole in her hand.
Was absolutely a crucifction parallel right? Jesus on the cross was right behind her too.
I do agree, though, there was gonna me more collateral damage
They think they're being cute-cheeky but I don't need that shit and I definitely don't need that shit baited on finale night without giving the season any time to settle
OP I DEMAND A POLL GAUGING THE INTEREST IN A SEASON 2
AND IT SHALL BE 100 to 0
'I hope there's no one down there you care about. NM just some broken glass.'
I love that Veidt was the perfect answer for Manhattan's people. He gave them their purpose and set them on a great game and challenged them. The wink of the prosecuting attorney, the lovelorn farewell of the Warden. They wanted parts to play, and he gave it to them.
That second sentence is just about what I would expect to follow that first sentence
Lindelof is GOAT.
Fuck racists, wonder where they were transported. And the Cyclope's eye is real.

Indeed.

Yeah...I'm sorry but that finale just confirmed all the problems I previously laid out with the show. It's a pale imitation of the original that can't hold a candle to it. The ending was insulting.
I'll post more in-depth thoughts tomorrow.

Were they teleported? I thought they were zapped to oblivion like Rorschach.
What a terrific season of television from start to finish.
If they do do a season 2 it should be different characters and a different aspect of the Watchmen universe. They sort of set up a possible season 2 with Nite Owl being in prison, but I think Angela's story is pretty done.

Well there were no remains...I thought she transported them. Also, this:
There is no way there isnt another season of this. I mean, the sheer instinct of seeing this greatness will have someone writing a check. For better or worse, who knows. But this seasons was wonderful.
There's no secret or grand mystery about racism.
The Senator explained everything. White people were pissed that they had to pay reparations and apologize for what their ancestors did, what happened in the past. If this doesn't sound familiar, then a TV show isn't going to provide you any additional insight.
BTW, check out the book White Rage. it explains how historically, whenever black people make gains, white people systematically enact destructive tendencies to force regression. This show is a proxy for that IRL tendency.
The other "grand revelation" to consider is how, if a person can become a god, what lengths they would go to become one. Or, put another way, nobody should become a god, because ostensibly, they would abuse that power. As Veidt said, Trieu would make everyone prostrate and kiss her little blue feet.
This is why, even though the show-runners have made an ion-clad tight season, there are sprinkles of potential for another season, with Trieu's mother/daughter, and Angela possibly inheriting Manhattan's powers. Except, her feet are "black" rather than blue.
The main leaders of the white supremacists all died. ANd think about it: did Trieu really HAVE to kill them? She was going to become a god. She could have came back for them or enslaved them. You have to consider the fact that she killed them with PLEASURE, despite being a character who takes very little pleasure in anything.
Also, you should have been side-eying Trieu since the episode she was introduced, bringing genetically engineered babies into barren women's homes to guilt-trip them out of selling their whole lives away.
The "more" to Veidt's and Trieu's relationship is that the only adversary worthy of him is...HIM (but in the form of herI).
Amen to that, but I'm sure HBO is gonna airlift by helicopter literal bank vault of money on Lindelof's property to convince him to do another season. I ain't rich or will never see that kind of money, but I still would say no. Like I said above, there's stuff other people can work with, but this show is masterful. DO NOT TOUCH!
No thank you.
If they have to, and they really don't, move forward.
If it goes forward, I could see them exploring the prior heroes, Minutemen, etc. with a very thin but thematic tie to the past. Mothman as insanity, etc. But couched in the present and future. Nite Owl as The Prisoner would also be fun.
Ok great, fuck em! Lol. And all the racist haters can go fuck themselves too. The show was a remarkable achievement that paralleled society today as Watchmen did in the 80s. To dislike it because you're a racist fuck, just the peak of ignorance.
It is going to be a damn shame when the inevitable sequel to t his sucks.
Of course, I thought this about this show as well, so I hope to be proven wrong.

Yet the series ends with a character becoming a god...
Yes, because Angela wouldn't also take pleasure in killing leaders of white supremacy.
LOL, this is so true.
Except backwards. The show started weak and became stronger as it went along.
This panel is called: "Before Doc Stopped Giving a Fuck"
Tangentially related, it's nice that all the "A bunch of dumb hick white supremacists from Oklahoma couldn't possibly figure out how to capture Dr. Manhattan" complaints were totally acknowledged and validated and gleefully encouraged to clown on those fuckfaces
Manhattan's look before he dropped them for hanging dong. A conservative look, if you will.
It really is. LOL. I'm fine with this being the only season, but Nite Owl II for season 2?
Angela would have arrested them. Her grandfather would have taken pleasure in killing them.
As far as her becoming a god, does she? Guess we'll never know. Pretty sure she didn't have to step on water to determine if she had PHENOMENAL COSMIC POWERS!
The real question is, what is it that Angela has that Laurie didn't, that would make Manhattan fall in love to give up his PHENOMENAL COSMIC POWERS???
ANother plot hole: isn't Angela still a fugitive. We gonna forget she rammed through a cop car on her way home before the Kalvary raided her house? Why didn't her police friends come and try to stop her? Stop the Kalvary?
I don't think another season is coming soon but for what it's worth, I think it would be interesting for Angela to be the Dr. Manhattan going forward. A couple episodes ago (with the Cal=Jon thing) it was revealed she wasn't the everywoman people thought she was and was actually way deeper into the main throughline, and besides that she was a hardliner with regards to law and brutality and "doing bad so good can come eventually" stuff. So the idea that she would take what she learned here and try to build a better future for the world...well, at least before becoming distant like Jon did, but hey, she's got the limiter thing already...could be interesting. It would just send the show into a wildly different tangent that would feel like a massive epilogue, so I would have to assume that another immediate season would be set somewhere else that would just eventually tie into this season towards the end. This really didn't leave much to explore immediately afterward and it would have to be a major time jump to have anything to pull from.
Another 30 years? Maybe. Maybe in 30 years we'll get Angela's oldest kid and Trieu's motherdaughter having a proxy war through other masked vigilantes in a sad corporate dystopia that has completely turned pirate-themed media into the only thing people care about, and it'll be relevant for the time. I dunno.
In any case, this was pretty damn good overall. Kudos to the team behind it.
