Is it Watchmen?

Because the first 10 minutes basically has nothing to do with watchmen. 

If there isn’t a blue naked man from mars and them not trying to make Rorschach a bad guy by the end of this episode I’m going to be seriously pissed. 

Not a bad show so far. But don’t call it what it’s not.

Rorschach, Ozymandias and Dr. Manhattan as well as others are all referenced. Relax my guy. Also during that "storm" it looks like the after effects of the monster that Ozy set loose on NYC as an easter egg. But I believe HBO said this won't be a direct adaptation but it clearly draws inspiration from it and will be using it's characters and themes. Plus it takes place 30 years after the comic so the world is going to be different.

The First Ozmandias scene should have been the first scene. HBO has seriously lost its touch since before GoT.

It’s just bad writing. No matter how good it could be. It’s just bad writing(and editing. And direction).

While GoT certainly ended up being a steaming pile of poo toward the end I can't agree with you overall. Succession is brand new and fuging outstanding!

 

Also Chernobyl just won 10 Emmys. Even though HBO is going through internal changes they're still the pinnacle of tv entertainment.

Emmys are the equivalent of a participation award except market trends take the picks. 

That entire episode should have been in reverse almost. Horrible editing. 

Plus Dr. Manhattan wouldn’t have let Rorschach's name be used in vain, he still had a heart.(the only actually morally good character in the entire thing being turned into something he wouldn’t hesitate to kill; Yaaaa, y’all loose serious points.)

Overall, intriguing show. Wasted effort on the concept of watchmen.

What the hell did I just watch? Had this show not been entitled Watchmen I would not have been able to tell you what I was watching. So why call it that?

This first episode was disjointed, un-intriguing, incoherent and nothing grabbed me to want me to stay. I really hung on hoping they were going somewhere interesting, instead I sat watching something I thought was done by a mentally inept David Lynch.

What this has to do with the original Watchmen graphical novel or movie, which both satirized the super-hero concept in a very entertaining way, is a complete mystery.

I really had high hopes for this show, I'm gonna try to give it one more episode and hopefully it changes my mind.

I think its great i am hooked. my only complain is that they just give you question after question, while not really answering anything yet. 

Get used to it.    These guys made The Leftovers.   One of my favorite shows ever and I can tell you, there will probably always be questions.    Just enjoy the ride lol.

I'm enjoying it.  The idea of this alt-history with contemporary race issues is an interesting way to look at it.

I do love the questions that get asked, and I think there's a lot of room for the show to have it's own story in the same world as the Heroic Watchmen.  I'm halfway through the 3rd episode at this point.  I really like the characters well, they feel interesting, fragile and damaged.

And certainly, if you don't like, that's great.  Opinions are wonderful, and it's fine to disagree.

      Some Thoughts on Legette based upon an ex-scout's ranking him WR1 in the draft

      By MHS831 · Posted

      No, he has a long way to go to be that--I think he is probably referring to his ceiling--I think Legette has more room to grow from where he is that those more polished WRs.  When you look at his potential, it presents an argument that is not so one sided.  Of those three, only Odunze had a higher RAS score 9.92.  XL had a 9.90.  Malik Nabors had a 9.67.  Harrison Jr.  did not have one.  I am not sure that Legette has not overcome more obstacles to be where he is, and if you consider his adversity, his story might be more incredible, even though he is only a second tier rookie right nowm with Mitchell, Thomas, Pearsall, and maybe McConkey.  I am going from memory-but you have to think of things as a kid-when he was 16, his mother died of breast cancer.  When he entered S Carolina, his father died.  They had some issues and QB problems and the OL was terrible in Columbia---the others you mentioned?  None of that family drama, and they played at Washington, Ohio State, and LSU.  Huge difference.  I am proud of him as a man--when all his chips were on the table--when he had no more chances, he broke through and became a first round draft pick.  A school with a losing record, mediocre QB, and bad OL.  Mentally, he was struggling through the losses of both parents.  Amazing story.  Is he as good as those three who played at top universities?  Not yet.

      Nice contribution.  Appreciate it. I have seen him on interviews, and I just like the kid.  He breaks so many molds and stereotypes, I doubt trying to put a label on his is going to work.  I think he can be special.  During his presser he was talking about riding horses and doing wildlife stuff.  This came to mind:  Lil Nas XL
