I feel bad for their kids.

Their real parents were murdered. And now their adoptive dad turns out to be Dr. Manhattan, so you know he's just gonna bugger off somewhere.

Huh? Their real dad was murdered on the White Night.


am I mistaken?? I don't think I am, but I watch a lot of tv so maybe different shows got faded in... but wasn't he in the second episode?? he came to visit the kids, and the parents didn't let him come in to see them?? wasn't he a racist POS???

Discussion question:

So who do y'all think Trieu's dad is? It's gotta be Veidt, right? She's somehow gonna save him from Europa or maybe already has and is trapped in that statue

The kids parents were both killed on the White Night. I can't recall who that person was but I believe it was a grandfather.

No way was veidt’s comment “an elephant told me” just a coincidence. He HAS to be referring to the elephant that King’s character was hooked up to, right?

Some astute viewers have pointed out that the cake he gets in each episode actually commemorates a year he's been on Europa and all the scenes we've seen of him are actually in the past. The farm house scene from episode 3(?) where something crash lands from space is Trieu recovering Veidt, her father.

That certainly makes sense. Although that would clearly require Dr. Manhattan to speak with Lady Trieu at some point in the future, since he would have no way of knowing about what crash landed yet.

That's pretty damn observant and extremely possible. I'm just glad I have more going on in my life than to over-analysis TV shows though.

Very satisfying ending for me.

Works perfectly if they just want to be 1 and done. But also could easily continue expanding if they want to do a S2 with a similar cast.

Watchmen canceled.

Creator didn’t want to do another season and HBO wasn’t interested in building another team to do it.
