@ChangAlang - So you can watch the episodes right now yeah. But it isn't going to make much sense.

I mean in this episode Ozymandias pulled fetuses out of a pond and grew them to adulthood in a machine and this is not a spoiler becuase it happened exactly as I said it, without any context whatsoever.

So if you're not invested right now. Just wait till the season wraps and then watch it in one go.

This show is baffling to me, I mean who was it made for? lol.

It certainly wasn't made for the diehard fans of Watchmen because it is not an adaptation of the original graphic novel, this is a straight up sequel.

And it wasn't made to attract new fans because this show is utterly dependent on the events from the source material for every element of the story thus far. lol. right down to the raining squid.

This show is creating new questions with every scene and is definitely not going to answer all questions. Also the viewership is low so it's highly unlikely this is getting a second season.

Lindelof should have done a straight tv adaptation of the graphic novel and then made this show.

Ah well... too late now.

People be crazy. Watch the movie, read the comic, this show is fantastic. What a great way to build off of the foundation than to put the context of the story in a completely different setting where what the comic layed and ended with has reverberated across the land. With the way the approach has been written so far, I have zero doubt that it will not come full circle. So many questions, yeah, but isn’t that what makes a good show?

Oh and for all those people that keep complaining about the show moving to slow, suck it. Immediate gratification is what’s wrong with the world today, and that can be applied to story’s that ultimately, we all should love and appreciate.

Peace!

Many Superman references on this episode, mainly in the Clarks (not the Kent's) farm scene where the couple that can't have children suddenly receive one out of nowhere, right after that something falls from the sky that looks like the fall on Earth of Kal-El's spaceship, and later we find out that Will's last name is Reeve (like George and almost like Christopher), a man that was saved by his parents when he was a little kid by getting him out of his birthplace before it was destroyed, and the track used in that first scene of the pilot was titled "Orphans Of Krypton" in the Reznor+Ross official soundtrack album...

Yep, and i loved it!

This show is slowly winning me over, holy shit what a weird ass episode, not as much as a Legion one, but close enough.

Looking Glass is the best character on the show, I like him a little better than Sister Night.

Anyhow I hate what are they doing with Laurie, they changed her way too much.
