Hayter said Daniel Craig was supposed to play Rorschach for that test footage, but had to drop out at the last minute. That would have been interesting. This was three years before Casino Royale, so he was still a relative unknown then. Hayter said if his version would have actually been made, he ultimately wanted John Cusack for Night Owl and Denzel Washington for Dr. Manhattan (???). Then I think I read way back when that he wanted Mel Gibson for The Comedian. Hayter's draft, I think, was also set in the present day. I have it, but have never read it. If anyone's curious, let me know and I can post it...


Ugh, that sounds like the real version of that "If the Avengers was made in the 90's" thing.

Agreed. I wish Jackie Earl Haley was a little more physically imposing, but his voice, mannerisms, and all around vibe were so damn good.

Btw, this has potential for one of the greatest "In" gifs of all time.



Oh hell yeah. Saving that link.

Btw, completely forgot about that weirdo. Do people still think it's Petey?
CNN is an enemy of the state and should be treated as such.

I'd be curious to read that 2003 script. Might help pass the time on one of my long holiday flights this weekend.
Thanks and gig'em

Trying this from my phone, so hopefully the link below works. If not, I can do it from my computer when I'm done traveling tomorrow. And again, I *think* this is Hayter's "present day" draft, but I'm not 100% sure...

Maybe we discussed this before, but I forget. Was the opening scene of shooting the cop a random moment of opportunity the 7K used to kick off whatever they are up to?

It looked like random violence, not part of a plan, to me

There was speculation that Angela's husband was Doctor Manhattan in disguise - there have been a decent amount of clues so far - but the fact that Angela knew all along is obviously huge. That said, there had to be a reason she was from Vietnam, and now it makes sense. Still, so many questions.

Cannot wait to see where these final two episodes go.

Speaking of Laurie's special friend...

Reddit user AlvinItchyCock is responsible for this one: The brand name for the Doctor Manhattan dildo is Excalibur, meaning it's a very short walk indeed to Ex-Cal-Abar.

yeah, I was very hesitant bringing any of this stuff into this thread, because many people of the Watchmen reddit have been nailing a lot of these points in advance going back almost 20 days.

Anything I have brought in here were my thoughts from the episode, before I went to reddit see what others were saying or thinking.

And THIS is why binging is the suck. I love how ideas ebb and flow over the weeks before the finale. You cannot have that with a binge release.
Yeah I gotta say that I hate not having the instant gratification but it certainly does add something in the end. Week to week is probably better. The slow burn i ****ing nice.

I was legit shocked tonight.

To you guys point, one of the recap videos called Cal as Dr Manhattan weeks ago. I guess I'll avoid those for the next couple of weeks. I love getting the Easter eggs I missed, but this show is so good at putting them in that anyone who gets them all is probably spoiled.

Also, happy that mirror guy is alive and will be infiltrating the 7th for our final shoutout. Interesting that people were thinking the clock was a Dr Manhattan trap, when we are now told it's the 7th with a trap. Ironic that the press was asking the senator about the Russians making another Dr Manhattan...
