Episode
2: Martial Feats of Comanche Horsemanship
Holy
shit this show is good! I keep putting off watching episodes of
Watchmen because I know there are only nine episodes and this will be
over before I know it. Hell, the newest episode comes on tonight and
I'll probably wait a week before watching it. This one starts off in
Germany during the war with a letter being written to be dropped out
of the sky aimed at Black soldiers pointing out how America treats
them like shit and how they can prosper in Germany. The soldier keeps
it and it turns out it is the father of the boy that grew into the
old man who somehow managed to hang a grown ass man from a tree. The
note in his pocket was written on that piece of paper. Angela brings
him to her bakery where he is being vague as hell about everything
she asks. Angela heads to her dead captains house and finds out that
he as a Klan suit hidden. Well...shit.
Angela
takes a sample from the old man and has it scanned at this place
where you can get reparations from those that were attacked and
killed during the Black Wallstreet Massacre. It turns out that this
old dude is her grandfather. Meanwhile there is a flashback that
shows how she and thirty nine other cops were attacked at the same
time which lead to her new identity. This scene got me because my ass
was so into her relationship with her husband and them playing
around. New thing you know shotgun blasts are happening! Back at the
freak manor Lord is chilling watching his servants perform the play
he has written about Dr. Manhattan. The guy gets his ass burned alive
and it turns out that all the help are just clones of one another.
There were a lot of mentions of Manhattan in this episode which makes
me so worried for when he shows up. I'm assuming he will at some
point.
There
are a lot of other things that happened in this episode. I am having
trouble straight up covering this show without it being a long as
hell super detailed thing which I'm not trying to do. I wish more
people were talking about this show because I don't personally know
anyone that is watching this and it is a show I think everyone should
watch whether or not you have seen the movie or read the comic book.
They drop enough little things from the comic to make the people that
have read it happy while also being this world and characters that
could easily stand alone with it actually being called Watchmen.
