welcome back everyone is Charlie this is gonna be my Watchmen episode 4 video
there were a whole bunch of crazy moments so we'll break it all down
there's also a lot of stuff that's happening this week so a couple
announcements at the end of the video - we're doing a new HBO now giveaway all
you have to do to enter is be a subscriber and leave your best theory
about where awesome anteus is that he's trying to escape from so careful for
spoilers if you have not seen the episode but top 10 and easter eggs
as we go along there were a lot of Easter eggs and a lot of really really
crazy moments but starting with number 10 the new intro sometimes you have to
crack a few eggs to make an omelet there were many different references to eggs
throughout the episode in a bunch of the different storylines but I think part of
the metaphor of the cracking egg title is also that secrets are starting to get
out like will references at the end of the episode in three days Angela will
learn what I've been keeping from her this big secret that I have when they
said three more days I don't know if that means three more episodes if the
episodes will move in real time or if that'll be the finale that they're
referring to but then there was that person selling the organic eggs on the
roadside in Oklahoma reading the book fog dancing if you're a big fan of the
watchman series this is actually a super deep cut fog dancing was actually a book
that was written by someone called max Shay who's the character that within the
world of the Watchmen series wrote the tales of the black freighter comic book
but it also relates to all the weird stuff that Ozymandias was doing this
week hatching in microwaving the babies into brand-new clones to serve him
within the world of the Watchmen this writer max Shaye who wrote that fog
dancing book also disappeared with a bunch of other creatives and wound up on
an island owned by Ozymandias he was using it in secret to clone a bunch of
alien squid babies to test what would eventually be the alien squid that he
bombed New York City with so they're using a lot of these Easter eggs in the
different storylines to tie everything together and give you more clues about
what's really going on while this is all going on - they play that song islands
in the stream which is also a reference to the island that the max Shea the
writer of fog dancing was transported to that's just a metaphor that Ozymandias
is stuck on an island so to speak but not a literal island just a metaphorical
one because they have the transition later in the episode that makes it seem
like he's stuck on the moon but then number nine knock on the door
welcome lady trio one of the most mysterious figures of the series so far
but we haven't met till this episode she's the mysterious trillionaire we
learned this building the millenium clock in that bought Ozymandias company
when he went into exile like he said he's been stuck in this place for the
last four years but I believe within the universe they've already explained that
he's been missing since 2011 or 2012 so there's still some missing time that we
don't know where he was but number eight she's there to buy their land for
unspecified reasons we find that something is crashing to earth that she
knew about and that's really the reason why she bought it because she wanted the
rights to whatever wound up landing on that farmland so they use a lot of this
to let you know what her personality is how she is super smart and shrewd and
she explains them how she made her fortune the number seven was her
threatening to destroy that baby that she created for them now if it wasn't
clear she used the egg that the woman had tested years ago to create the baby
so really is biologically theirs but also I think the idea that she owns all
these biomedical sciences companies is clues to what's going on with Ozymandias
and all the clones so I definitely think that she has something to do with where
he is and what he's doing but more on that in a second when I talk about her
daughter because her daughter was a really interesting character during the
episode that I think says a lot about what's going on with Ozymandias and the
sciences that she said that she was involved in number six after another egg
reference they pay off the opening scene from the first episode with Angela's
great-grandparents in her learning her true history this is where you came from
but remember she's from Vietnam just like Lady tree oh so they haven't
explained how her parents wound up in Vietnam and why she was born there and
not in the United States but technically within this world Vietnam is part of the
United States so maybe her parents just went to live there but the whole idea is
that she's tied in a much more significant way to the 1921 incident
it's very meaningful for her but she still hates will right now despite the
fact that she seems like she's caught up in something way bigger than she totally
understands that has something to do with the Millennium clock Lori laughs
about the car crashing down and they sort of sink the episode up with the end
of last week's episode no that's my car just totally fell out of the sky it was
weird that she didn't totally believe Lori right away you think her mind would
be a little bit more open but they sort of pay that off later
when lady trio secretly communicates with her about her grandfather he's
asking about his pills tell him to go screw himself my number 5 was that
weird breakfast conversation that they had about the chief not going to heaven
because heaven supposedly doesn't exist no I'm not a religious person so I don't
really mind if they're atheists or anything like that I just thought it was
weird in an episode that he would say that so directly to little kids oh
there's no heaven he just went to nothingness normally you don't see
people do that with children in TV shows unless it's a really religious TV show
which this is not but maybe he's just an atheist and that's why he was having
that conversation with them but number 4 time for the reckoning
so Angela finally comes clean to lookingglass about the Chiefs secret
history gives him his Klan robes and they're also going to analyze what's in
Wills pills apparently they're really important there probably was helping
keeping him alive past the age of 100 like there were all the references in
the earlier episodes about how he's this super old man there's no way he could
have ended the chief because he's in a wheelchair yet somehow it seems kind of
like he did at least all the evidence points to him doing it number three was
Lube man this was just hilarious like what was he doing there by was he spying
on her is he connected to lady trio or is he connected to the Calvary or is he
just a regular vigilante and it's a who watches the Watchmen situation like it's
a joke about who watches the people that are watching us because angela is
watching us all the time there was also another weird moment between her and
Senator Kean when he came back he was acting kind of like an asshole and it
only hammers home my belief that he had something to do with setting up what
happened at the funeral like maybe this was all part of some agenda that he has
that Angela and Lorie sort of sidelined and he's kind of pissed off at her about
that Laurie gives us a whole bunch more details about will he was a cop in New
York City in the 40s and 50s then retired early
she also connects the dots between the wheelchair tire marks at Crawford's
crime scene and will being over a hundred years old he'd be in a
wheelchair like she totally knows what's going on and just hasn't said out loud
yet number two was the scene of them explaining Laurie's backstory in the car
the Doctor Manhattan references and then the Millennium Clock explainer from Lady
trio's daughter is a thermodynamic miracle my ex used to talk about him all
the time it's all connected man I loved how she kind of poked fun at Angela
wearing a mask oh I used to dress up and fight crime to know I wear a mad
to hide yes to hide from the pain and if it wasn't clear PD in the back seat is
the PD from PD pedia on HBO's website that has all those extra files and
details and bonus material for the episodes if you've seen the Watchmen
movie or you read the original comic series you already know her so expect
her back story and how she found out about the comedian being her father
based on the way she acted in last week's episode and all the references
they made it seems like she's kind of moved past that she's using his last
name now - Laurie Blake Blake is the last name of the comedian lady trio's
daughter also explains the purpose of the millenium clock and why it's located
in Oklahoma of all places like why here when you're a trillionaire you could
build it anywhere you want she claims that it's just meant to be a clock but
you know Doomsday Clock references what is the clock actually counting down to
what's gonna happen in three days but the reason why of all places in the
world they built it in Oklahoma is because it's the safest place on planet
earth safest from nuclear attacks safe lives from any kind of natural disaster
so if you thought it was weird that they would set the TV show in and around
Tulsa Oklahoma that explains why but they obviously
haven't revealed a true purpose of the clock yet love the joke about Ozymandias
statue why did you make him look old he looks like crap
oh we Revere our elders in Vietnam where I come from well here it just looks like
crap I also think they laid a lot of clues about what's going on with Lady
trio's daughter during a lot of these conversations too but number one
probably the biggest thing was Ozymandias using crab traps to fish for
the baby clones that were growing in that pond it looked kind of like a pond
but because it's at night it's kind of hard to tell he sticks them in a special
machine that grows them to full adulthood in moments kind of like
microwaving a pizza then they sort of used the next couple of moments to
explain where all the clones come from and what he's doing with them in
revealed that he's destroyed all the other clones sorry for the mess I had a
rough night then uses the dead ones to test the giant catapult just reiterating
the idea that he's within this special closed environment that someone's
created to keep him in a prison so to speak when they zoom out on the spyglass
in transition to Earth's moon I think that's them implying that he's on the
moon not on Mars like I thought in last week's episode but I did believe just
because the way they came back frozen that they were getting fired
into orbit out of the atmosphere and that's why they were freezing so I feel
like that's them confirming that but it still doesn't explain what deal he made
with lady trio because now I think that she's secretly connected to all those
weird baby clones and him being stuck on the moon I'm really starting to like the
theory that Thomas on the clone that he's playing is actually meant to be a
clone of real Doctor Manhattan like you have all these Doctor Manhattan clones that
he's disposing of all over the place let's go fish another Manhattan baby out
of the crab traps but he's very careful to reiterate that he's not responsible
for creating these clones someone else is and then at the end of the episode
when Lady trio's daughter wakes up and tells the story about the nightmare that
she had which sounds like one of Lady trio's memories from her childhood in
Vietnam like she's reliving real memories that lady trio or one of her
ancestors had when she said that she Revere's her elders I think the idea is
is that her daughter is secretly a clone either of her lady trio or maybe her
mother or her grandmother and that's why she's having those memories it's like
genetic memory that you passed down but everyone let me know in the comments
what is your theory about what's going on with the clock and what lady trio in
a wills plan secretly is this going to culminate in the next three days there's
so much big stuff happening this week to Rick and Morty season 4 episode 1 is
