The episode begins with another example of real-life racial injustice whitewashed by our history teachers; the sacrifice made by African-American soldiers during WWI, defending a nation practicing racial segregation. A clip from the in-universe fictionalization of superhero history confirms that we’re in good hands; it appears that the heroism of the original group of masked vigilantes, the Minutemen, is greatly exaggerated in this world. But even Angela herself is a suspect; Looking Glass asks her more than a few questions about the night of Judd’s murder, and focuses on her foster children. Episode 2 of HBO's Watchmen series has plenty of call-outs to the comic and history behind the story playing out on the screen. New Frontiersman was the publication of choice for Rorschach in the original Early in the episode, two camera-wielding journalists are seen flying (and painfully dropping out of the sky) in the area where Chief Crawford (Don Johnson) was murdered, flitting around on mechanical wings. Sister Night) investigates Chief Crawford’s home using a pair of X-ray goggles. If they look a little familiar, that’s because they’re clearly based on costumed hero Nite Owl’s high-tech eyewear from the This marks another appearance of Nite Owl’s tech in use by the new generation of costumed vigilantes in HBO’s series. Nixonville is a trailer park featuring a statue of Richard Nixon, who, I suppose, is the Trump-like icon of the inhabitants. But Veidt seems to be cooking up another plan, and seeing as the last one caused the death of three million people, it’s probably explosive; Veidt’s lack of regard for human life doesn’t seem to have improved.Armed with a tea cup used by Will, Angela heads to a DNA testing machine which analyzes potential eligibility for “Redfordations.” Descendants of the Tulsa Race Massacre are entitled to compensation, a concession that is furiously protested by some of the local white population.

Violence isn’t just felt but inherited in HBO’s Watchmen, passed down to transform all those in its wake.

After hinting in the show’s first episode that there was something a little off about his butler and maid, the second episode confirms that the pair are actually clones — and that Veidt has a seemingly endless supply of each of them.Veidt’s talents with genetic manipulation were already well-known to anyone familiar with the It’s worth noting that the play that Veidt has the clones perform is also the origin story of Dr. Manhattan — which should be clear to anyone familiar with the comic (or the movie, for that matter). A propaganda pamphlet highlighting this inconvenient truth is pocketed by a black soldier, and later, scribbled on during the Tulsa Race Massacre, “please look after this boy.” This is the pamphlet carried by the mysterious elderly gentleman in the wheelchair, who introduces himself as “Will.” Will is quickly taken into custody by Angela, who is deeply shaken by the murder of Judd, her mentor. (Note: Plot details from the most recent episode of The scene of tiny squid raining from the sky in episode 1 was one of the weirdest moments of the What there have been, however, are plenty of conspiracy theories. It’s rather telling that the police instantly suspect the most poverty-stricken people they can find, and in the chaos that results, Angela loses her temper and brutally beats a stranger. Her name for them — and their mechanical wings — references one of the members of the original Minutemen team, Mothman, whose real name was Byron Lewis, had a troubled career as a crimefighter that involved bouts with addiction and mental illness. It’s a little on-the-nose, sure, but a great visual that outlines the bizarre fantasy of the cosplaying racist, and the resemblance to modern-day superhero outfits. I'm fascinated by all forms of storytelling; movies, television, mythology, fairy tales, and urban legends.Opinions expressed by Forbes Contributors are their own.I write about film, television, pop culture, and other fun stuff. Sister Night (Regina King) refers to them as “Moths,” and indicates they’re an all-too-common annoyance for law enforcement agents. Angela takes this statement very literally indeed, and uses a pair of night vision goggles to investigate Judd’s house, uncovering a pristine Klu Klux Klan outfit inside a closet.
