It hasn't been explained yet in the show, and it isn't in the comics, but I'd assume it's related to the giant squid attack from the comic.

Ah, gotcha. I'll read a quick refresher on the whole giant squid thing and carry on with the show. Seems super promising going by the first 15 minutes, though obviously anything can still happen.
Been jamming to the soundtrack for the last couple days. So damn good.
Nun with a Mother Fucking Gun is incredible. Objects in Mirror, The Brick, Never Surrender, Watch Over This Boy...they're killing it.

Just catching that this was only conceived as a one season show. Man, that is suddenly really disappointing. Show has been so good and while a self contained story has its virtues, it will probably make it really hard to maintain this quality if they do decide to extend it after the fact. Guess I'll just enjoy it as is.
Also, really makes me wonder what HBO is gonna do? I thought this was gonna be a tent pole but if this is a one off, it's basically....Westworld? And I guess Lovecraft Country looks interesting, and that Whedon show, maybe.

It's conceived as a self-contained story but that doesn't mean it can't encompass more stories within that universe. But I'd be content with one season if it is executed well.
That makes more sense than he's on Mars.From the comic
That's basically Ozy's home now...
I'll just have to adjust. And like I said, there is something to say about having a clear and concise vision. I just had assumed this was conceived as a series, not a mini-series ala True Detective.
Which makes me also fearful of them going after a second season now, because as True Detective also showed, the challenge intensifies when you have to follow up on the thing you put all your initial energy into as a closed story, only now on an accelerated timeframe.
I think he is on Mars, bur I forgot there was a castle in a bubble in the original too.
I'm rereading it and ran across this and had to share.
Sure, but him being in something snowglobe-like makes more sense than him just being in Mars.

Wasn't there a snow globe on Mars? In the comic and a biome would be pretty much the same thing.
Anyway do you think it's bad for me to just listen to the score on repeat all day. Cos praise our Lord Manhattan if it isn't utterly superb.
10 posts ahead of yours.
It wasn't on Mars, but Laurie told Jon about it there.
She was superb. What a great, controlled, shining performance. Loved her.
Yeah, I've had Nun With a Mother Fucking Gun and The Brick pretty much on repeat all morning; this might be my fave soundtrack from Reznor & Ross. It's absolutely phenomenal and there are TWO MORE ON THE WAY!!
Lauries' scene with Looking Glass is great, she just comes in and literally takes control. I expect we'll find some significance in her pausing the image on a squid, as well (specifically in it's relation to Looking Glass).
Ozy's home in the Arctic was full of terrariums and biomes he created. Now he lives in one that he probably didn't create
I don't think it's a literal snow globe.
It's a pseudoglobe where instead of glass stopping you, it's space. So once you step outside the barrier lining the area, you are immediately pushed into space.
What Veidt is trying to do is devise a spacesuit and way to travel back to Earth but he can only use the resources Dr. Manhattan most likely conjured up for him in his prison so he's having a hard time doing it.
I didn't think this was particularly revelatory if you read the comic and paid attention
It's been over a decade since the last time I read the comic.
After watching the motion comic I'm impressed with the show's version of Adrian. It's not how I would have read his character at all, but it works really well.
I'm in the middle of watching it, and that Veidt feels like a 1-to-1 translation of the show's. In spite of being, y'know, released years earlier.
The dude voicing everyone(?) in the motion comic does a fantastic job. It's sooo good.
I feel like I'm missing a big piece of the puzzle when he makes the jump from the FBI dude wondering what Rorschach's journal was doing there to the government knowing the journal is real and therefore raining baby squids, but, I had been wondering what akia was.
Ok. I mean I'm glad it helps you and others but it's framing (by the creator, not you) that it's showinga great deal of new information only applies if you've never read or don't remember the comic. It serves a purpose just not the one it advertises
I think the guy misunderstood the scene. Rorschach's Journal was fully publish but largely ignored and believed to be a hoax by the mainstream and government.
It's a show dealing with race relations, the KKK, white supremacy, and stars multiple female characters. The usual suspects are up to their usual bullshit.
EDIT: I guess this is my 10,000th post lol

I hoped it wouldn't be as simple as that and considered giant men babies were upset at the depiction of their picture book. I just didn't add the sexism or the racism.
Thanks.
Loving the show though, watching episode 3 tonight! May have to buy the book.

Episode 3 will touch on a fair amount of the graphic novel. Far more than the first two. If you want to know more about those elements I would say either watch the motion comic on YouTube or read the graphic novel.
Pretty sure it's Will's car from the previous ep. The one he went, er... away on. It's a lead for her investigation.
