Well... holy sh*t.
After another exceptional installment,
Watchmen left us with its best cliffhanger yet as it was revealed tonight that not only has Doctor Manhattan not been living on Mars, he's actually been hiding in plain sight on Earth disguised as Cal Abar (Yahya Abdul-Mateen II) - and that wasn't the only kicker, as we also learned that Angela (Regina King) has known about his whereabouts since the very beginning.
Now, with Cyclops/Seventh Kavalry closing in on the Abar residence to presumably kill Doctor Manhattan and take his power for themselves, it'll be up to Angela to put up a last stand and protect the man she loves.
