Gugino really nailed that moment, trying to keep a straight face while being asked about what happened with her and Comedian.

Man, this is a fascinating little featurette, even as something of a Watchmen purist myself

Knowing how good Sani-Flush is at cleaning toilets changes EVERYTHING.

Love the undercut of “We’ve been replaced” to “Hollis always had a flair for the dramatic.” :smiley:

Yeah, this is very well done as an adaptation of the text pieces of Watchmen.

I wonder who one could say was Manhattan’s nemesis. Ozymandias?

Seems so, in the context of Watchmen ‘09. But maybe you could say it’s an increasing disillusionment with humanity.

Man, was that in the book? Hollis having a thing for Sally? It seems familiar.

Maybe in subtext, but I don’t think it was stated directly like this.

That’s fair.

Well, Hollis was right about that.

Man, this guy is freaking savage on how the Keene act stopped superheroics.

The ending was a little hamfisted, not gonna lie, but overall an interesting special!

A bit hamfisted, but I guess that’s realistic to news specials like that from the time.
