Spoiler Seems kind of obvious Trieu is the one who likely imprisoned Veidt. She knows he is alive and there is a pond of clones seemingly based on her tech. Honestly the question of why Veidt is imprisoned interests me more. Edited December 2, 2019 by Eivion 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raziel Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 (edited) Well shit, I didn't see THAT coming. I'm really hoping we get explanations as to how everyone else found out. Spoiler So, the next episode is just Angela holding off the 7Cal until Jon "regenerates", right. Because they'd be pretty fucking dumb to go after Dr. Manhattan with just regular guns.

No, Living In America by James Brown playing during the scenes in Vietnam were the fucking best. Whomever is making the soundtrack selections for this series is a mad genius.

John from Cincinnati Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 (edited) Liza Richardson is the music supervisor. As on the last Lindelof show she worked on, she's to thank for the awesome song choices. Edited December 2, 2019 by West Newbury Bad Boy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Life on Mars is on the list of best song that should suck, but doesn't (actually Space Oddity is probably the David Bowie song that should suck, but doesn't). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.T. Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 It's not my favorite James Brown song either, but it was ironically appropriate for the setting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig H Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 My first thought was, well, that certainly makes Cal's talk with the kids about heaven make a lot more sense for why he was so cold, dry, and factual about it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I already read an article last night that showed all of the clues that everyone, except for a few people, overlooked. Some people on Reddit got really hyper analytical some weeks back showing that the folds in Cal's knuckles match those of Dr. Manhattan's in one of the Watchmen trailers. Even the Dr. Manhattan dildo is called the Excalibur...Ex-Cal Abar. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raziel Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 Yeah, I didn't even realize that Cal was using Angela's name, since her father was using Abar in the flashback this week. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eivion Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 In Batwoman Alice finally got her big vengeance. I'm kind of torn on Kate and Jacob's reactions. Considering who Alice killed its rather hard to feel sympathy there. Beyond that its hard to buy that both would want her outright dead for it even with the damage to their lives it caused. In a weird way there is just a bit too much anger there opposed to what feels like it should be more of depression over what needs to be done. In general though I'm kind of just ready for the show to move beyond Alice as the main villain. Hopefully we get to a point where not every big villain is going to have some personal connection to Kate since the next story have hinted towards for whenever this one ends points to another ex of Kate's with the Coryana hints they have been dropping. Supergirl was another solid-good episode. Not sure how I feel about the resolution since it leaves things maybe a bit too open with Lena right now. I suppose I understand why they didn't go so big with Crisis coming next week. I suppose the real climax to that story will come in the second half of the season. Might be for the best with Leviathan continuing. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well that makes sense given that: Spoiler the name of the episode is A God Walks Into A Bar. The nerds have already updated Wikipedia in advance of the reveal. 1 hour ago, West Newbury Bad Boy said: Quality subtitling. Reveal hidden contents Spoiler After the Looking Glass episode, I will admit to being intrigued by how Ozymandias would justify his actions if he was ever asked that question directly. I finally got that scenario in place in the form of Veidt's trial and what does he do? He farts. I will admit to being a little disappointed but then again, I have no idea why I thought that Veidt would pick that time to show some humility and give an honest account of himself. Flatulence was a very Ozymandias thing to do. I do admire the Game Warden for going insult for insult and convening a jury made up of cloned pigs to deliver the guilty verdict.

Craig H Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 My friend sent me a text and said something I never even considered until now... "Veidt is going to be the statue at Trieu's HQ, isn't he." That would be a funny twist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thought had occurred to me that the events on Jupiter are not in synch with the events in Tulsa and that Veidt may have already escaped and is on earth. That's why Trieu's statue is so accurate.
