I think Trieu is behind the rise of the 7th Calvary. Building a giant "clock" and the "tick tock" chant can't be coincidence.

---

The weirdest part there is Will being aligned with the 7th cav. I'm all on board with them not being exactly as we expect, but they are clearly pretty racist.

What do we think that meteor was that fell on the farm seconds after the bought it?

Was that scene a flashback to acquiring the area the clock is being built?

So Treiu imprisoned Veidt took over his company and teamed up with Will, because she wants to get revenge for American colonialism in Vietnam. And will is on board because it will let him get vengeance for the Tulsa massacre???

Or it's something completely different and ****ed up

Maybe the clock is actually an intrinsic field generator, and they are trying to make Will into another Dr Manhattan

---

If you read the comic, Blake (The Comedian) and Doctor Manhattan went all Apocalypse Now in Vietnam, killing indiscriminately, literally roasting Vietnamese people to death.

Trieu could be the Comedian's daughter with the Vietnamese woman (slashed his face) he killed. Only the mom was shot. That would make her Laurie's half sister.

The daughter could be a clone of herself or her mother, hence why she is recalling the events of the war via her dreams.

I am betting the giant clock is a tool to trap and punish Doctor Manhattan for doing nothing.. So this is all a play for her to get revenge on him.

She created the phone booths to call/leave msgs for Doc Manhattan. Maybe the fact her never answers proves he continues to do nothing. They could also be used along with the giant clock thing to yank him back to earth?

And she is planning to use Laurie as bait, due to her past history with him. (Also, her revenge could be against Laurie too, for her father's sins.

So just spit balling on what amercer said, and my rambling above:
Lady Trieu could be the one responsible for the squid fall, with her bio tech
She wants Manhattan, and the way to get him is through his past attachment with Laurie.
Hence, teaming with Will to kill Crawford. That brought the FBI and Laurie Blake into it. It is through her that Trieu will be able to get Manhattan's attention and possibly try to get revenge on him with her device.

Or she is regrowing her mother and wants Manhattan to recreate her father to get revenge on him.

Given we never see Angela's father.... it is possible she too might be a daughter of the Comedian from Vietnam?

So we would have 3 daughter s of the Comedian all together.

I think the Trieu intro was in the past, but early in the construction process. They literally made a point of ending the scene with a birds-eye-view shot coasting over the empty land and then superimposing/fading to what was built on it. At least that's what it looked like to me.

...the statue that Trieu had looked exactly like he does when we see him, how would she know what he looks like currently?

---

amercer said:

She "bought" the company from him 4 years ago right? So if nothing else she probably knew what he looked like then, which was still old.

She does say when they are talking about the statue that it's how he looks now though, so it pretty clear she knows he's not dead. Maybe he went to Mars and the scene when she buys the farm is him coming back 4 years ago, and at that point she buys his company/ sends him to exile island.

Also would the farm couple be happy to know that their baby was made in a pond?

So do y'all still think Will has powers of some sort or just something Trieu gives him to slow down aging (or something like that)?

That is where he is farming his clones like catfish. It was the culling of his catch that was so well done.

Look at me. I know all about clone farming....
