"She is clearly a raging narcissist whose ambition knows no limits. It’s hubris, literal hubris. Anyone who seeks to attain the power of a god must be prevented at all costs from attaining it. But believe me, that girl will not rest until she has us all prostrate before her, kissing her tiny blue feet."
"Raging narcissist, hunh?"
"Opus esse uno, unum cognoscendi -- It takes one to know one."
-- Ozymandias and Laurie Blake, Watchmen: "See How They Fly"
Hello again, everyone! My co-host Jesse Jackson and I are back with another new episode of The Fandom Zone Podcast! This time, we discuss "See How They Fly", the season finale of the HBO series Watchmen, featuring Regina King as Angela Abar, Yahya Abdul-Mateen II as Doctor Manhattan, Jeremy Irons as Ozymandias, and Hong Chau as Lady Trieu!
In this episode, Jesse and I talk about things like both of us being off for Christmas vacation, our thoughts on whether the Watchmen season finale stuck the landing, the debate over Watchmen having a second season, the Beatles' song "I Am the Walrus", the abandoned mind-control aspect for the season finale, the other two possible endings for the season finale, Adrian killing eight years waiting for Lady Trieu to rescue him from Europa, Bian artificially inseminating herself with Ozymandias' sperm, Lady Trieu meeting her father in Antarctica, Adrian's humbling space message to his daughter, Lady Trieu's need for an audience being her downfall, the Russian Doll of Angela being almost killed during the White Night, the end of the 7th Kavalry, Joe Keene Jr. turning into a pile of red goo, the return of Looking Glass, Adrian's using frozen squids to defeat Lady Trieu, the return of Archie, Adrian finally being arrested for murdering three million people, Jon saying goodbye to Angela, Angela finally coming clean to her family about her secret identity, Will telling Angela that Dr. Manhattan could've done more, Angela making the decision to eat the egg, the Sopranos-esque fade to black, why the ambiguous ending was a good call by Damon Lindelof, Dale Petey being revealed as Lube Man, our favorite quotes of the episode, the critics doing a coordinated hit-job on Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, and more!
