I haven't had a single plot-twist thought in my mind and I'm still loving this series. The episode had all the right moves. It will get you thinking about who to support in Watchmen, but it will also answer to the regular viewers, questions of it.
I'm still saying that the music was spot on. Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross have talent which shows in the series. The give you the music at the right moment. When the ended the episode with a familiar song that was the right move.
I don't think about the end because I can't. I do not know what the end will be.

Unbelievable episode, unbelievable story can't believe how they have tied all these points together and how captivating and well thought the episodes and plots are. The execution is fantastic too with some fantastic scenes that might well become iconic in the future.

This was a beautiful episode with some clever symbolism. Damon Lindelof to me is probably (one of) the best serious tv art writer of the last decade, with the phenomenal 'The Leftovers' and now with 'The Watchmen', using the same psychedelic road to reveal surreal but still deeply humane phenomena. That road btw is best to be enjoyed as the journey and not to stare blindly towards the end(ing).

I did not read the original comics so I cannot empathize with the lovers distain for the shows divergence from the source material. That being said, this show is incredible. Everything from the acting, writing, and music is so original and compelling. I can't wait to see where this goes.

- TriviaThe music during the ending credits is a cover of David Bowie's "Life on Mars" by Trent Reznor & Atticus Ross.
- GoofsWhen young Angela is questioned by Vietnamese police (22 min. mark), a Vespa scooter can be seen parked at the side of the orphanage. The Vespa shown is a model produced in 2005, way after the time of the event taking place. However, as established in the original comics (which are canon in this series), Dr. Manhattan's presence altered the way in which science and technology developed, and there is no reason to think that his innovations could not have led to a Vespa that would seem, to us, ahead of its time.
