Welcome to the Heavy Spoilers show, I’m your host Deffinition and you’re now locked into the channel where we’ve been Watching The Watchmen to breakdown everything that you need to know about the full season on HBO.
Throughout this video we’ll be going over the entire episode’s plot, giving our theories on what could be happening in the future and discussing the huge revelations in it.
There will be Heavy Spoilers here, so if you haven’t had a chance to watch the latest entry yet and don’t want to know what happens then I highly suggest that you turn off now.
Watchmen Episode 8 Recap
Ok so Episode 8 is a massive trip through time that shows how the past influences the future but also, due to Doctor Manhattan’s powers, how the future influences the past.
It’s very much a chicken and the egg situation which we even see referenced in the episode and for those who don’t know, Doctor Manhattan can see every single moment of his life at the exact same time. He knows what will happen in the future in the past and in the past knows what will happen in the future. Alan Moore wanted to create a character who was aware that time was cyclical and also show that in knowing what would happen in the future, how you would be tied to it, forced to live out every moment watching it all play out the way that it was supposed to.
The best way to describe it I think would be to say, imagine if you watched episode 3 of Watchmen first, then episode 7, then back to 1, you would have the knowledge of what would be happening but they would be re-ordered. Still they would possess the same narrative and thus you would be able to fit together all of the pieces in between.
Yeah..it’s difficult to explain.
Star Crossed Lovers
Anyway, this episode exemplifies what it would be like to fall in love with someone who knows everything, sounds like my Ex-Girlfriend, ey! YOU HAVING THAT.
Doctor Manhattan is a God who is all-powerful, all-knowing and one that doesn’t age. Watchmen really humanises Doctor Manhattan through one of our most human emotions and it shows how love can change someone. Turning God into a Man. Cal was able to accomplish this by losing his abilities and this is about reinstating them in order to save the world.
Ozymandias And Doctor Manhattan
We see the two reminisce over old times and we also see Ozy is the one who creates the Squidfalls in order to maintain world peace. He’s been running them manually from his home, keeping up the lie.
We discover that Ozy created the device that stops Doc seeing the entirety of my life and that this is made of Tachyons. I thought this would be the case last time but here it holds more weight in the episode as we discover it’s pretty much his Kryptonite and it means that the character does actually have a weakness.
Episode 8 Ending Explained
Personally I believe that Joe Keene may even succeed in his plan with Jon passing on his powers as mentioned in the episode. However, he will gain a perception like Doctor Manhattan and then become completely removed from his views and goals due to the detachment that possessing the powers Jon has will carry.
If Tachyons can defeat Jon then they can likely defeat Joe and I think the weapons that he created for the Doc will be turned on him in order to defeat him.
Post Credits Scene
Also incase you didn’t stick around for the post-credits scene in that we see Ozy being punished for trying to escape.
