Yeah the score is really dope... Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross killed it. Really digging this so far.
Never read the comic, never saw the movie. Didn't pay attention to it until I saw a trailer on HBO. DVRed it and finally watched the first two eps. I want to thank my brothers on BGOL for filling me in. There is a lot to learn.
Roflmao! Ol girl rolled the suicide guy into the grave of Don Johnson then rolled his dead ass in there too to absorb the blast! His dead ass was useful after all! Now he’s in pieces but still dead lol

Really deep episode. If you've read the novel, you saw how this week tied into it. Laurie Blake is serisouly messed up from her time as Silk Spectre.
Yeah this was the most revealing episode so far in terms of connection to the source material.
I figure he's a descendant, considering his name is Will Reeves. At first I thought he may have just taken the name of his idol because he may not have known his own history, but he seems to know it pretty well, especially since he's taken up the task of telling Angela who she is.
Yeah, Will has two ancestors (Bass and ?) and two descendants, (?) and Angela, who has yet to have children of her own.
No shit! She travels with a Dr. Manhattan "Dick In A Case."
I was watching it with a chickNo shit! She travels with a Dr. Manhattan "Dick In A Case."
It took us both a second to realize what that shit was
Laurie WILDING
Indeed. Also, notice the callback to the novel. When she goes to dude's room to get broken off, she has him wear his mask, just like when she and Night Owl finally hooked up.
Yea, she an ol deranged mf. Pause....I bet she got some killer pussy with her mentally disturbed ass. And why aren’t her and the rest (Adrian) able to move like they did? Their reflexes and shit. Oh, they old as fuck huh? And what happened to the Owl? He dead too?
No shit! She travels with a Dr. Manhattan "Dick In A Case."
I was trying to waiting to watch this with the wife and changed the channel briefly during football and saw that case with the dick in the box ....... was like WTF!!!
Maybe she missed the one on one, two on one, three on ones and so on.
Who could live up to that
prison. the senator made reference to it. that how got her to go to tulsa. he said as president he can pardon ayone, and get her owl out of his cage
Set Batman up like that
‘Watchmen’ Companion Site Explains That Secret in Judd Crawford’s Closet

If you’re not checking out the companion site to HBO’s Watchmen, you’re missing out on a ton of fun fill-in-the-blanks to go along with Damon Lindelof’s trippy superhero drama. The info on the Peteypedia—named after Anti-Vigilante Task Force agent Dale Petey, who made his debut in episode 3 played by Dustin Ingram—isn’t essential to watching the show, but it does color some of the bigger questions with intriguing evidence. Like, for instance, why exactly Angela Abar (Regina King) discovered a KKK hood in the closet of her friend and late Tulsa sheriff Judd Crawford (Don Johnson).
That’s the subject of a piece of Peteypedia material classified “EVIDENCE: Four Letters”. The evidence in question is a letter written by J. David Keene—the Congressman behind the bill that eventually outlawed costumed vigilantism—to “Sheriff Crawford”. (The letter is dated June 2, 1955, meaning its recipient is almost certainly Judd Crawford’s father.) If the letter makes one thing clear, it’s that the elder Keene and Crawford were members of the Ku Klux Klan, and high-ranking members at that; Keene notes that the painting we saw in episode 2, “Martial Feats of Comanche Horsemanship”, is symbolic of a position of power in the white supremacist organization. Here’s what Keene writes:
If anyone is likely to know for sure, it’s Joe Keene Jr. (James Wolk), the senator’s son introduced in episode 2 and nearly kidnapped by the Seventh Kavalry in episode 3, who is the most prominent name floating around to nab the presidential position soon to be vacated by Robert Redford. If anything is not a mystery in Watchmen, it’s the fact that the roots of the racial divide in everything we’re seeing run deep in Tulsa and beyond.
For more in-depth theorizing, head over to this week’s Watchmen Guide to dive into “She Was Killed By Space Junk”. Make sure to head over to the Peteypedia, which also has intriguing info on the story-within-a-story American Hero Story: Minutemen and a bonkers white supremacist call to move to Mars with Doctor Manhattan.

That’s incredibly damning for Judd Crawford, considering the painting still hung prominently in his living room at the time of his death. The question is: Did the younger Crawford inherit the mantle from his father or break the family tradition altogether?

I missed that. Being he is a 'Batman' type, I wonder if he has a failsafe plan? Eventually, Manhattan has to show up. In all this time, no body else is powerful enough to fight his Godlike ass?
pause to the dude posting the dingus and pause to the dude who liked the post of the dude posting the dingus
Laurie was there for it all. She's seen some shit and she isn't impressed. She literally loved a GOD and settled for a man.
She's been on fucking MARS.
Still reaches out to her boo every chance she gets.
Now she knows he's listening.
I love how we're catching up with these characters because they've had 30 years to sit with this shit.
Absolutely love that she's completely taken on her father's personality. She is her father's child.

Ozy’s life seems fuckin dull
Just by dragging the bomb I the hole was enough, didn’t have to do the old cac like that but fuck it
Looks like Manhattan sent him some dimension and he's trying to escape. He reliving every day on some groundhog type shit
great episode
I can't figure out how long the loop is though. Maybe a year? He used skin from the clones that died in the play to make the space suit. After the last attempt failed, he went after "thicker skin," like Buffalo.
Three years so far. Each episode there is another candle his birthday cake.
That's a good catch! I recognized that he was tanning hides but I didn't put that together.
Remember the four globes from the classroom? I wonder if he's on one of the other Earths?
Can you guys clarify something for me.
The old chick is in love with Dr Manhattan AND Night Owl too?

In the novel, Laurie hooks up with Dr. Manhattan when she's around 16 or so and is with him till damn near 30. When she sees that he's growing increasingly disconnected with humanity, she starts getting closer to Nite Owl. At the end, she and Nite Owl are together. He's currently in prison.
"On one hand, the anti-Redfordation camp are presented in a negative light, but the legislation itself has clearly worsened racial relations, suggesting Redford's liberal tenure hasn't been wholly successful."
yeah, using the excuse that reparations would make white people mad is not a good enough reason not to do it. They're the ones that fuck this shit up and caused this imbalance. "Worsening race relations" is their fault, not our problem
