    They Pulled it of With Flying Colors

    It wraps up the main story it does leave a few threads left open and that's a little frustrating but this is a masterpiece on the same level of breaking bad or perhaps just shy of it do not read spoilers unless you've already see it cheers

    Goo Goo ga Joob

    I should have figured, everything Dr. Manhattan ever did had some context somewhere else. Why else would he start making waffles right before the gang of Rorschachs attack?

    This episode solidly focuses on the Lady Trieu, and it explains a lot- you just have to facepalm yourself for not realizing it sooner. And also the final moments of Adrian Veidt's exile, say goodbye to Phillips and Cruickshank. But the question is, when did these events actually happen? That question is answered here.

    The events that led up to this point is a tale that has unraveled like a cleverly woven tapestry.

    We already knew pretty much exactly what was going to happen. That's the problem when writing stories about characters that know their own futures. There is a lot of thematic imagery that this episode returns to: Episode four introduces the egg and acorn elements. Egg, acorn. Pretty much the same thing and both become relevant. That's how you write for characters who know their futures, you tell their stories with well-placed references and vignettes.

    The satisfaction is, seeing all of the little things that happened to make those futures come about.

    We had our eyes focused on the Gang of Rorschachs and Senator Keene, Jr. - I suppose this is the same "Keene" whose father wrote the Keene Act which illegalized masked vigilante-ism. Now we know after watching this chapter that even the Keene Act was designed to do something else as well, it was a sham and a scam just like the tax scam of recent. But while we were all wrapped up in trying to figure out what was going on there, something even more insidious was happening. Our attention was taken off of it, in the same way that Dr. Manhattan was fooled.

    A raging narcissist should never be afforded the opportunity to become a god, in fact they shouldn't be afforded opportunities to be in positions of authority or power either.

    "Oh what a beautiful morning, oh what a beautiful day, i've got a beautiful feeling, everything's going my egg..."

    I had submitted a slightly different review just before this, but I think this one reflects my feelings about it a bit better. And none of them were "badly formatted". Insert anger emoji.

    Damon Lindelof & Nick Cuse writings RULE

    The story started off confusing with the first several episodes but halfway it found a groove and has thus ended with another confirmation that the writing duo of Lindelof & Nick Cuse know what they're doing and have brought yet again another rich TV series where I can't wait to watch the next episode. Awesome last episode for the first season.

    "That guy talks too much"

    A wonderful way of ending the season. There was great music, scenes, acting, directing and the script for the whole series was great.

    What I loved about the series ending was that it didn't rush to the end. It was all done very beautifully with Regina King as the main character.

    I just have to say again that the music was one of a kind. Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross made a unique music that had their trade marks.

    The acting in the whole series was great. Jeremy Irons, Regina King, Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, Tom Blake Nelson and Don Johnson, they were all great in Watchmen.

    I don't know how the screen writers are gonna make a season 2, but I'm rooting for more Watchmen. But I also can say that this could be a perfect ending for the film and the series, but I hope that it ain't.

    underrated show

    Loved the movie (2009). As for this series that came as a sequel I honestly didn't like the first 2 episodes, I was like "wtf! this is not Watchmen, not even close... But the rest of the episodes were brilliant and then I thought the first 2 were not so bad, they were essential parts in this great story. If there won't be a second season it's fine, the ending was perfect imo. If it will be renewed for 1 or 2 more season it would be great! 10/10 for this ep and 9/10 for the whole seas

      When Angela talks to Will in the theatre, a horseshoe appears in the middle of the Oklahoma stage background, evoking the horseshoe that has been a recurring theme in Adrian Veidt's story.
