Penguins of Madagascar Dr Blowhole Returns Again the

Spoiler alert: this story contains spoilers for Watchmen'due south 7th episode.

Watchmen has been a tangled story, just it looks similar our heroes and our villains are finally starting to have shape.
Episode seven has many pieces finally looking like they fit into a certain piece of the puzzle.
One major mystery remains, merely we should accept you covered for the rest here.

Watchmen, by nature, has been a disruptive show. A common refrain for people tends to be 'I don't know what'southward going on,' and as long as you're paying proper attention, that'due south past design. Damon Lindelof, like his mentor and former LOST colleague J.J. Abrams, subscribes to the 'Mystery Box' ideology of storytelling; you need to dangle something, and desire your audition to want to effigy it out. Watchmen, in essence, has done just that—and now that we've seen 7 of the testify'south nine chapters (at least in its offset season; a second season hasn't nevertheless been appear, but Lindelof has also made articulate that this first season will be cocky-contained), where things fit into the larger picture are really starting to become clear. And with a certain graphic symbol—cough, Dr. Manhattan, cough—finally making his render at the stop of the episode, we're finally getting the render of the comic's most powerful hero.

But all the same, you might need just a bit of brushing upward. There have been quite a few moving pieces and details to remember. So, for now, allow'due south re-examine our main characters in Watchmen, and figure out where everything, and anybody stands.

The Biggest Mystery Remaining Past Far:

Lady Trieu

HBO

First of all, let's just give a quick shoutout to Hong Chau. What an admittedly compelling character she's crafted here in only a handful of appearances; she is stunning every time she comes on screen, demanding the viewer's attention. That being said, nosotros all the same accept... basically no thought what her programme is. She'due south probably a hero, considering her human relationship with Will Reeves, merely she could besides just be doing her own matter; she sort of has that sinister air effectually her when interacting with Angela. We'll find out in the next two weeks, but it'due south hard to constitute a flag also firmly in either direction equally of at present.

Heroes:

Angela Abar/Sister Dark

HBO

Come on. You don't need this one explained.

Wade Tillman/Looking Glass

watchmen looking glass pod scene tim blake nelson

HBO

We were worried for a 2d at that place after episode five, when LG had his 3rd eye opened after his encounter with the Seventh Kavalry, and learning the truth nigh Adrian Veidt and the Squid attack. Even though he turned Angela in to Laurie Blake, that's yet consistent with his absolute moral code, and with Petey discovering his bunker filled with... uh...slaughtered white supremacists, nosotros can feel pretty confident that Looking Drinking glass is withal going to side with the adept guys when it'southward all said and done.

Laurie Blake

HBO

We didn't ever really need to question this one (she'due south one of the original Watchmen, after all), simply she did come on strong playing something of an combative role to Angela in the early on going. Notwithstanding, we saw in the last ii weeks as she used Angela's overdose on Nostalgia to eventually figure out the larger evil plan; Now, nosotros but accept to await and run into how she gets out of it.

Will Reeves

HBO

Hither'south a major alter-up. When we first met Will, what with his claiming responsibility for the death of a seemingly-good police force chief, well, he seemed like bad news. But it'southward funny what a few weeks and a lot of backstory tin change. Will isn't just Will—he's Hooded Justice—and as he said both as a young and old man, he's uncovered a vast, and insidous conspiracy in Tulsa. There's even so a lot of time in this human being's life that'south uncharted—similar, 71 years worth—simply we remember this has, in a way, become his story.

Amanuensis Petey

HBO

Petey is a good guy. Come up on. Still think he might exist Lube Human, though.

Blood-red Scare and Pirate Jenny

HBO

This pair of wonderfully-named masked cops have mostly fallen into comic relief roles in the last few episodes, simply information technology's hard to imagine them as anything other than well-significant law. Cerise Scare was eating Cheetos with a fork in Episode 7, though, which should be a little suspicious to anyone.

Cal/Dr. Manhattan? We remember?

HBO

From the get-go, Cal—Angela's married man—has seemed a little bit likewise good to exist true. Outside of an ice-common cold explanation of decease to the couple's three kids, he'southward been null but a model, caring husband, with the occasional mention of "his accident." Well, we don't know what that accident was, simply when Angela called him "Jon" at the end of the episode, and then, well, hitting the crap out of his head with a hammer...that seemed similar something. Even if nosotros didn't accept an eyebrow raised to this super-violent act, the blue smooth should tell us all we need to know. A certain Doctor? Yeah, he'south back.

Villains:

Senator Joe Keene

HBO

We had this 1 figured out a few weeks agone when he confronted Looking Drinking glass with his Kavalry mask on, merely Keene put his evil plan on full display in Episode 7, complete with a requisite "It'due south a hard time to be a white man in America" monologue (a bit on-the-olfactory organ, but signal taken). Keene is shaping upward to be the season'south big bad, and in a lot of ways, his programme seems to mirror Adrian Veidt's original i from the novel—create chaos, and leave himself as the logical leader and choice. We knew he had presidential aspirations, but this latest episode has us thinking that it could become fifty-fifty further

Judd Crawford

HBO

It seemed like an early tragedy when Judd was killed in Watchmen's first episode, but now we've found out that he was pulling a flim-flam on just almost everyone. Judd wasn't the open-minded, sweet policeman that Don Johnson portrayed him equally; in fact, he had a much darker side only below the surface. Information technology started with the Klan robe in his closet, and connected with him telling Volition Reeves "I'm trying to aid you people." Judd tricked Angela, and others, into thinking he was someone he'southward not.

Jane Crawford

HBO

This one was a twist, huh? But we really should've seen it coming—think well-nigh how OK she was with everything we saw Judd doing back in the starting time episode; telling, that she would be OK and along for the larger, eviler, plan at hand. Plus, her lack of daze at his decease fabricated it sort of seem (in retrospect) like part of her saw information technology coming; she knew the risks involved with planning some wild stuff. In Episode 7, Jane basically goes full mustache-twirling villain, proverb that Keene becoming President seemed similar "pocket-size potatoes," earlier pressing a button and dropping Laurie into a trap door. Nosotros'll see what happens in the coming weeks.

Adrian Veidt (Come on...)

HBO

OK. And then. This one might be a niggling tough to decipher, because it can be and so hard to separate the graphic symbol himself, and the specific portrayal of the character. Jeremy Irons is turning in such a fun and undeniable version of Adrian Veidt, that it tin be difficult to remember the graphic symbol's background—he killed three million people past dropping a giant squid on them. Non skilful. Not skillful at all. Equally funny as it might be when he's launching a clone into space, or farting in a courtroom filled with clones, it'due south always going to come up down on the side of villain. Adrian Veidt is a villain. Assuming call, I know. That being said, he's clearly got some plan, and Damon Lindelof has alluded that his series volition find Veidt re-converging with the show'southward main storyline at some signal. In one case he makes his return from wherever he is, could he flip to the other side? Probably not, merely with Watchmen, we can't really dominion anything out.
