Kid Angela might be the most adorable kid I've ever seen.
She is in Shazam! And more adorable even.

Anyone know what the song that plays during the episode 8 promo is?

Im guessing it will show up in the episode but my curiosity has been peaked.

I'm expecting a GOAT-level episode this week. Dr. Manhattan was the inspiration for Desmond and The Constant on LOST and this episode looks like it will be another love story out-of-time. There may be too much regular plot baggage getting in the way relative to The Constant, which was a bit of a bottle episode in its main plot.

God how good was The Constant though?

Whoa, I never new Dr. Manhattan was the inspiration for Desmond, it makes perfect sense thinking about it now. Now I'm reading a 2007 article about the comparisons by Doc Jensen, who ironically wrote this weekend's ep with Lindelof.

Laurie's "Brick" joke is almost certainly going to be a reference to something that comes back at the end of the show to totally fuck up a bunch of things, but what is she referring to? I totally expect this episode to end with a giant squid-level twist, but what was seeded in the first 3 episodes or so but seemingly dropped to come back to fuck shit up? Mind Control, Clones, and Memory Implants were all introduced and explored too late and don't fit the plot point of something brought up and seemed to go nowhere.

That is, unless, Lube Man somehow becomes massively important to the rest of the show. But I don't think that is it.

I approve of a brick focused ending, as my avatar suggests.

The Brick was Angela's car, it's already been dropped.

The cop that handed Angela a badge and told her "come find me when you're ready" has blue hair and blue eyes. I didn't notice this on first watch. Could she be Manhattan?!

A season 2 will likely happen it's just a matter of when. FX and HBO have shown they're willing to wait for 2+ years if necessary. The show is getting good ratings and good reviews, they'll wait for a reasonable amount of time.

there's a lot of stuff they can go with the show, especially if they go for a semi-anthology route and rotate Cast members with new semi-big names.

I think it has already? Angela smashed Dr. Manhattan's skull in.

Unless Dr. Manhattan dies again later

In just a few hours we finally get some answers.

I was watching this earlier and I think this is going to play heavily into why Manhattan chose to be with Angela and why he chose to become human again,

Can't wait for tonight.

Rewatching the last episode; the BBC style Dr. Manhatten documentary that opens up the episode is so cool. Feels so real lol

Man, only 1 episode after tonight. I'm already longing for another show that will captivate me like Watchmen.

This show has me very anxious. Given how topical and now the subject matter is, I don't want to handle it ending on a downer note.

Yes. Ideally it ends with 7th Kalvary destroyed. Dr Manhattan returns to mars. Angela and Blake becomes friends, and while standing outside one night they look into the night sky, knowing Manhattan is looking down on them, and they both smile.

I think the batteries from the first episode are the meta "brick". Still totally inexplicable what the plan was for, and never mentioned again after that episode.
