Watchman
Episode 9 Finale: See How They Fly 10/10
The
Watchmen series was perfect. But first let me recap this which
managed to answer all the questions and show so damn much within an
hour. This was an insane ass hour of television. This episode takes
place over multiple points in time like previous ones so again I can
not describe the in a linear way. It starts off showing Lady Trieu's
mother in Veidt's office breaking into his computer and stealing some
of his man gravy that he has been saving and replacing it with
lotion. She injects it into herself answering the question as to who
her father is. Veidt meanwhile is making the recording to the future
president explaining his plan to release that giant squid over New
York.
Trieu later visits Veidt before he left Earth and reveals that
he is her father, she is the smartest woman in the world, and she
needs fifty two billion bucks to actually do what Veidt could not:
create world peace by having the powers of Doctor Manhattan. He tells
her that he built himself from nothing after refusing his parents
fortune, she needs to do the same, and he will never call her
daughter.
Later
on Europa using that horseshoe that he got in a cake Veidt digs
himself out of his prison as a ship arrives. Remember when he laid
all those bodies out on that moons surface? Trieu mentioned a
satellite that she sent to observe Doctor Manhattan who was no longer
there but Veidt was and he used all those dead clone bodies to spell
out HELP ME DAUGHTER. Trieu saw it and sent the shuttle. Just as
Veidt is making his way towards it the Gamewarden shows up and tells
him that he can not leave. Veidt says he can and gets shot. Son of a
bitch caught the bullet! He stabs Gamewarden with the horseshoe and
lets him know that he was not a worthy adversary. The shit was cold
blooded. He gets on the ship as his other servants line up to bid him
good flight. As he settles into the ship he is sprayed with a gold
liquid. That damned statue was him all along! Trieu wakes him just an
hour before the Millennium Clock is gonna come online.
Meanwhile
with the Kavalry! Joe Keene has Laurie all tied up and is surrounded
by a bunch of rich White racist folk and goes about his speech and
how his race needs to become more powerful and all manner of
nonsense. Laurie does not want to hear this shit and makes fun of his
draws. Someone lets Keene know that Angela has caused some shit at
the attack on her and Cal/Doctor Manhattan. He explains that he
created the whole White Night event, discovered that Doctor Manhattan
was there because one of the members got teleported, and wants his
powers. Looking Glass reveals his is under the mask of one of the
Kavalry to Laurie.
Keene
starts the shit up and there is Doctor Manhattan! Angela shows up and
tells Keene that his plan is shit and that he has only gotten this
far because Trieu has allowed it to happen. Keene is like “Nah...”
and fires the shit up. Suddenly, boom!, the entire room is teleported
outside to the middle of town near the theater where Will Reeves
family was attacked when he was little. Trieu says she needed them to
do the capturing of Doctor Manhattan for her so she wouldn't be
detected. She opens to chamber that Keene tossed himself into a
puddle of human juice pours out. Judd's wife starts talking that shit
and Trieu has all of them, the older Cyclops members, turned to dust.
Trieu gets the party started and Doctor Manhattan and Angela talk. He
lets her know that he does not want to be alone when he dies. It was
the saddest shit ever!
Meanwhile
Veidt, Laurie, and Looking Glass were teleported to Veidt base on
Earth. He uses the squid raining device and says he can weaponize it
by freezing them first turning them into little missiles. Laurie
calls one of those Doctor Manhattan phones and Trieu's
daughter/mother answers the phone and tells Angela its for her.
Laurie tells Angela to get inside just as the police show up as well.
It starts raining squid bullets. One goes straight through Trieu's
hand! Her last words are “Motherfucker” and she is crushed by her
machine. Angela heads to the movie theater where her Reeves and her
children are. He says they are tired from being teleported but okay.
He also points out that Doctor Manhattan made this deal with Trieu
knowing it was the only way to ensure things ended the way they did.
Veidt
tells Looking Glass and Laurie that they can take Nite Owl's and
leave and Laurie is like “Your ass killed three million people. You
are super under arrest!” He goes off saying he saved the world
twice and is not going to trial. Anyway, they can't prove anything.
Looking Glass has a recording of Veidt explaining his whole plan to
president Redford. Then he bonks Veidt on the head saying he talks
too much. Angela offers Will an extra room for a few nights. Later
that night Angela starts cleaning up the house and sees the eggs on
the floor she threw from when Doctor Manhattan wanted to make
pancakes. She takes the egg and heads outside to the pool. All the
shit that was said to her is making sense! She eats the one egg that
was left and begins to place her foot into the pool outside and
then...credits.
Holy
shit this was a good episode! What a great season of television! I
was not excited about this show being made after watching the trailer
but the first episode yanked my ass right into it and never let go.
The acting, the story, the music, the characters were all so damned
good! I have zero complaints and nothing but praise for this series
and how it was done. Any mystery they had got answered. Even if they
don't make another season I'm good with how this ended. It was an
entire story and a great companion to the Watchmen graphic
novel/comic book. One thing I did notice for this show more than most
is the massive amount of people wanting to be “First!” or “I
figured it out before everyone else!” Good for you...I guess. I
don't even watch the next time on clips. I'm fine with letting shows
happen and being happy to see what I get. This series deserves to be
nominated for everything!
