In the world of Watchmen – and its unauthorised sequels – America won the war in Vietnam, courtesy of Dr Manhattan at the behest of President Richard Nixon So much so, that Vietnam became a full member of the United States Of America, the 51st state  – and its citizens could vote in American elections[...]

Someone else who used their social media might to help bring down Trump at the election booth was HBO Watchmen series creator Damon Lindelof Up until today, we've tracked Lindelof's posts as he railed against the Trump administration's horrors and rallied folks within his reach to get and vote- and help others to vote, too. Angela takes[...]

The final page of Watchmen sees Dan Dreiberg and Laurie Juspeczyk meet up again, after learning, courtesy of Rorschach that Eddie Blake, The Comedian has been murdered, setting off the whole Watchmen storyline But it also involves the pair reminiscing about Rorschach and their own superheroic lives, and shows the kind of contrast between the[...]

Rorschach is the latest unauthorised sequel to Watchmen, by Tom King and Jorge Fornes, published by DC Comics In the first issue of the series, we heard a cassette tape based on a real-life seance event, with Frank Miller, Otto Binder and Randy Cox – with the addition of a fictional Wil Myerson In Rorschach,[...]

Well, if there's one thing positive thing that the raging disaster that's still sliming his way through The White House has done over the past week or so (inadvertently, of course) is that it's given us an excuse to check back in with HBO Watchmen series creator Damon Lindelof Previously, we covered how Lindelof agreed with[...]

The last time we checked in on HBO Watchmen series creator Damon Lindelof, he was agreeing with culture critic Soraya Nadia McDonald (The Undefeated) that the attack on our nation's capital fueled by Trump and his gaggle of goons was looking eerily similar to what a second season of the Emmy Awards-winning series would probably look like[...]

Aside from it making President Barack Obama's list of shows he watched while writing his latest memoir, it's been a while since we've had a chance to revisit HBO and Damon Lindelof's pseudo-sequel 'remix" of the comic book classic Watchmen But when find ourselves living in the age of Trump, it's not surprising that still[...]

When Zack Snyder brought Watchmen to the big screen in 2009, it was touted as one of those stories that just couldn't be filmed Snyder had to significantly change the ending for his adaptation, but he was far from the only A-list director who tried to make Watchmen There is a long line of failed Watchmen pitches, and[...]

Rorschach #3, like a post-election article in a major newspaper of record, to humanize people who are threats not only to others but to themselves as well.

Along with The Boys, President Obama also explains what it is about Better Call Saul, The Good Place, and Watchmen that made that perfect for a writing vibe Oh, and don't think he forgot hoops: Better Call Saul, because of its great characters and examination of the dark side of the American dream The Good Place[...]

That's the mystery to be unraveled in the comic. In the original Watchmen series, Rorschach was Alan Moore's commentary on Ditko's Mr A character, taking the absolutist black-white moral stance of the character to its logical conclusion It was Moore's opinion that such a character would likely be psychotic, deeply alienated, dangerously violent, and smelled bad[...]

Fans of Damon Lindelof's pseudo-sequel "remix" of DC Comics' Watchmen still continue debating whether or not the multiple Emmy Award-winning HBO series should move ahead on a second season or if the second season should be a direct sequel or something set in another part of Lindelof's universe BCTV has gone on record as saying[...]

To be honest, barring anyone taking up series creator Damon Lindelof's challenge to jump into HBO's Watchmen universe sandbox, we figured the Emmy Awards would be the final chapter on our coverage And a great note it would be to end on, with major wins for the series overall, for actors Regina King and Yahya[...]

In Damon Lindelof's defense? He's been saying all along that he had no intention of coming back to craft a second season of HBO's Emmy Award-winning series Watchmen– but that didn't mean the series' universe shouldn't continue to be explored Now, we're on record saying that we feel Lindelof should go the Fargo route and[...]

Eleven Emmy Award wins isn't too bad of a way for Damon Lindelof's pseudo-sequel "remix" of the comic book classic Watchmen to wrap its "life cycle" as a series (even if there are additional seasons) The HBO series would earn the honor of being the first comic-book adaptation to walk away with the kind of[...]
