If all white men from Oklahoma are racist how come Looking Glass isn't racist
I think it was more "if he ain't racist, he's sure likely to have family that was". I see no indication that LG is racist or even a bigot.

I think he meant it as having varying degrees of racism, not necessarily a binary racist or not racist due to the legacy and history of racism and white supremacy.If all white men from Oklahoma are racist how come Looking Glass isn't racist
Yeah, that's how I took it.I thought the point of Wade digging the alarm out of the trash was meant to show that even after learning the truth there's still part of him that's traumatized and scared by the attack and the alarm, even though he now knows it's a useless placebo, makes him feel better. It's meant to show he's still hurting inside even after learning the truth.
I guess he can do the accent on top of great castingOh sorry I mean the actor Tim Blake is actually from tulsa. I reread my post and see that it's confusing
I don't know maybe he is we've only seen him interact with one black personIf all white men from Oklahoma are racist how come Looking Glass isn't racist

This.I thought the implication was that he's woke enough to be aware of his own innate racism (as all white Americans ought to be).
I don't think the video is that unrealistic; Redford and the other government agents who saw the video likely came to the same conclusion the original characters did: we don't like it, and we can't condone it, but we also can't tell anybody about the truth or there will be mass pandemonium and global warfare. If anybody dissented they were probably killed or discredited just like Rorschach.
Loved the opening, but did anyone else find the senator king reveal, and in fact that whole sequence with the 7th cavalry, kinda... Convenient? Why didn't Wade have his own gun? Why did they plant a gun for him to find? Why are senator king and the chief leading these groups? To keep the peace he said, but... They're not?
I still liked the episode overall but the above definitely took me out of it.
i think it was just another episode of the hooded justice show that's been playing throughout the season
So i just binged the available eps recently and haven't caught up with the ongoing discussion, but what are the prevailing theories regarding veidt? The whole situation is just so fuckin weird. I know manhattan is the obvious answer but i also feel like it may be a red herring

I actually liked that LG knew instantly who it was and he was basically like "oh crap, do I still have this on." They didn't try to play it up like some kind of secret.
I didn't like the way the setup played out. Like just grab him. I understand the gun regulation thing meant that he wouldn't have his own gun, but someone as paranoid as him wouldn't check to see if it was loaded with actual bullets? They basically depended on him following them and going in before backup arrives and then not checking to see if anyone else is in the building behind him.
I also liked that the Senator's threat wasn't "I'm going to kill you" but "go ahead, who are they going to believe."
The reason the video makes no sense is that Veidt covered his tracks so carefully, then issued a video that went into extreme detail how it was all a hoax, so that if it ever leaked, even by the dumbest politician, it would convince even the most paranoid skeptic (which it did). Obviously the government, like Owlman and Jupiter, wouldn't just reveal all that (the US would be blamed by everyone) on purpose, but they gave this tape to this senator on his first day in the committee.
The other thing they need to explain and not just gloss over as a way to trick the audience: what was the play in pretending to hold Keen hostage at the funeral? Don't tell me that's how they expected it to play out and they were just trying to remove him from suspicion.
DreibergI think his message was basically "Save Me D-" so he certainly could have been asking Dr. Manhattan to save him. All we know is that Manhattan created that place and abandoned it, and he's on Mars, not Jupiter where Viedt is. I'm also not sure who would have a satellite that's passing over a moon of Jupiter, the only answer from what we've seen so far is Trieu or Manhattan.
I'm not sure we even know if we're caught up to present day in that story, since the creators revealed that every time we see him basically a year has passed (hence the birthday cake, but they really should have given some other indication).
Just to note: Ozymandia organized an assassination attempt against himself for exactly that reason. Lindelof's name for this series started as a "remix" more than a sequel.

The last we saw of Veidt is sometime around 2012-2015, just based on when he was last seen in public and a possible few years of isolation before being captured.
I thought the years-apart thing was obvious by the third episode, and the dialogue in the fourth cemented it. He flipped out on the fourth anniversary when the clone gave him the horseshoe.
Yeah but, if it ever leaked beyond America's borders it would undo literally everything. That's why Veidt making the video is so silly.Yup, almost certainly - this effectively guarantees the government would have actually assisted Veidt in covering it up.
Médecin is a medical doctor, so it could be confirmation the message is for Manhattan. If so I think that's a poor translation. He's not a medical doctor, and Médecin isn't a title. It should be Docteur.This might be an error, but yesterday I watched the last episode on a french channel and the translation for "SAVE ME D" was "À L'AIDE M".
D = M?
It could makes sense, but Doctor Manhattan in French is simply Docteur Manhattan.Médecin is a medical doctor, so it could be confirmation the message is for Manhattan. If so I think that's a poor translation. He's not a medical doctor, and Médecin isn't a title. It should be Docteur.
My French sucks so take this with a grain of salt.
Yeah, that's why it's a bad translation if I'm right.It could makes sense, but Doctor Manhattan in French is simply Docteur Manhattan.
Yeah, it's a bit weird, but probably a bad translation or an error.
It is. It's like a show that airs on HBO in their universe, very explicit.
Agent Petey's been writing up memos complaining about the inaccuracies in that show and he mentions that scene here:
À L'AIDE MANHATTAN MAN
Oh, sorry, I didn't realize it wasn't easily linked back to the main page:I liked this episode a lot, made me really feel for Mirror Guy. I thought he was just a plain psycho asshole before, but he's got real issues, he's doing decently for a guy who's so messed up.
Yo, is there like an index for all the supplementary material hosted on HBO somewhere?
Plausible theory - the video is a hoax and they wanted to make a conspiracy involving the journal and the squid but accidentally told the truth
Galaxy brain theory - this Veidt is an imposter
