Little Fear of Lightning

If you needed a reason to watch Watchmen, to binge Watchmen, to immerse yourself into Watchmen, Episode Little Fear of Lightning is your calling. This season of Watchmen has been like the intrepidness of riding a rollercoaster: You get on and fasten in, the car slowly makes its way down the route(speeding up a bit, slowing a bit, bumpy slow turns), then you begin to elevate while your anticipation escalates as you look around and take in the totality of what you're about to endure -not really capturing the big picture....until the bottom drops out from under you as you white-knuckle the safety bar -Watchmen has engulfed you, has taken you in, and you will not stop until Watchmen has decided to be done with you.

The (necessary) worldbuilding, character establishment, and initial plot is over, ladies and gentlemen. Now we get to the real squid meat and extradimensional potatoes of the story, and it's absolutely delicious. That's honestly all I can say without spoiling things. Do yourself a favor and just see it for yourself.

This episode elevates it all to the quality of the original comic.

And, the reason why there is a gang of a Rorschachs running amok is revealed. If you have read the original comics, or watched either the motion comic or the film, the ending of those are the same.

Just remember the final thing that happens in the film version. That pretty much explains it, but you actually have to see it for yourself. So we get an idea of why, but the next big question is what?

Everything here focuses on the cop who calls himself "looking glass". Who he was and who he is, and why he is looking glass in the first place.

Also, we finally get to see exactly where Adrian Veidt has been stashed away for all of these years, so the question is still who is responsible?

Sooner or later Dr. Manhattan is going to show up. But when, and where? And, why?

The pieces keep falling into Place, while everything else falls apart.

I find myself looking forward to this show every weekend.

Tim Blake Nelson's episode. This was a great episode. We get to see the Looking Glass backstory and we get to see the plot evolved.

The music ain't just Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross, it has memorable tracks from the 50's to the 70's.

Tim Blake Nelson is great as Looking Glass. He is a great actor with a very peculiar role, but still interesting.

The episode is about Looking Glass and his evolvement in the storyline and it will confuse you and make you thing about the bad guy. Who the hell is the bad guy?

If you liked the graphic novel, this show is an absolute slapper. Thus far each episode has been the new best episode of the season. Can't wait to see how they top this!
