After two episodes of intrigue and setup, Watchmen delivers its strongest nod yet to the original comic. “She Was Killed by Space Junk” spends nearly its entire runtime reintroducing us to Laurie Blake a.k.a Silk Spectre while also confirming that Jeremy Irons is indeed Adrian Veidt a.k.a. Ozymandias. “She Was Killed by Space Junk” serves to deepen the mystery, confuse newcomers and raise the stakes. There’s a lot to discuss this week including the giant blue dildo, a plethora of Easter eggs and several fan theories as to what might come next.

In his review, Randy wrote, Watchmen’s second hour is an intoxicating labyrinth of moral compromise, institutional rot, and metatextual reflections. There’s a lot to unpack this week, including the aftermath of Chief Judd Crawford’s brutal demise; the rendition of the play The Watchmaker’s Son; and the fictional American Hero Story, a television spoof that covers the secret history of the crime-fighting group The Minutemen.
