"I’m tired, Joe. I’m tired of all the…silliness. You want me to ask you why I’m strapped to a chair in an abandoned J.C. Penney, or what that cage is for? Fine. Just know that I don’t give a shit."
-- Laurie Blake to Senator Joe Keene, Watchmen: "An Almost Religious Awe"
Hello again, everyone! My co-host Jesse Jackson and I are back with another new episode of The Fandom Zone Podcast! This time, we discuss "An Almost Religious Awe", the seventh episode of the HBO series Watchmen, featuring Regina King as Sister Night/Angela Abar, Yahya Abdul-Mateen II as Cal Abar, Hong Chau as Lady Trieu, and Jean Smart as Laurie Blake!
In this episode, Jesse and I talk about things like Hall & Oates vs. Paul Young, Jesse being unsure if he wants another season of Watchmen, more of my wondering about Cal's mysterious "accident", Dr. Manhattan's reaction to Vietnamese soldiers surrendering to him, the Batmanish origin of Sister Night, that awkward moment where young Angela's grandmother dies before she's able to bring Angela back to the American mainland, young Angela's obsession with watching the Sister Night VHS tape, Lady Trieu using mnemodialysis to help Angela recover from her overdose of her grandfather's Nostalgia pills, Bian asking Angela why she hides her activities as a cop from her kids, that awkward moment when Angela learns she's getting memory dialysis from an elephant, Angela learning that Lady Trieu's Dr. Manhattan phone booths are a data mining operation, my argument that Lady Trieu is Ozymandias' daughter, Jane confessing to Laurie that she's part of the Seventh Kavalry conspiracy, Laurie falling through a trap door in Jane's living room, Senator Joe Keene's racist statement about the system being rigged against white people, the 7K's plan to turn themselves into Doctor Manhattan, wondering why Lady Trieu didn't want Cal to come inside, Damon Lindelof cleverly ducking questions by telling people which specific episodes things do or don't happen, my ruining The Sixth Sense for my wife Lori and our friend Tom, Angela taking a claw hammer to Cal's forehead, Ozymandias farting in his trial, our favorite quotes of the episode, racists on social media being upset when a non-white actor is cast as a traditionally white character, Watchmen not helping Tulsa's tourism industry, and more!
