    Let's address the elephant in the room

    This episode was really great! The cinematography, foreshadowing and plot twist were insanely good.
    allkillahnofillah

    I did not see that coming at all.

    Well played, director and writers and all who made that possible. Well played.

    All the clues laid out directly and indirectly yet I couldn't see it, even when it was right in front of me.

    Unbelievable Episode

    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.

    The perfect speech

    Ever since this episode my husband completes every fart with 'the defense rests'. Our life has another level of inside jokes and I love every minute of it

    "Were in trouble"

    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.

    • Trivia
      The music during the ending credits is a cover of David Bowie's "Life on Mars" by Trent Reznor & Atticus Ross.
    • Goofs
      When 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.
