But engrossing.
how much do you know from the source material, and how much do you want to?
So you know, what you find out about the source material doesn't NECESSARILY shed any light on what's happening now, just informs your speculation. [Reply]

I am interested in his trebuchet that can apparently launch a person into space, though?
Seems apparent that
Spoiler!
Veight is a prisoner of the Great Blue Dingus, and he's trying to trebuchet an escape.
Unknown if the . . . clones, . . . are of his creation or of TGBD.
Veidt has actually made a slice of Antarctica temperate and terraformed it to his needs, but is stuck there (either by his own making or Blue Whale holding him there for what he did). I wondered if the clones might have been Jon's attempt at creating life, but I also thought he was supposed to go galaxies away to give that a shot.

Science Fiction and Comics have almost always been about social issues? [Reply]
I'm a little surprised that there isn't more interest in this series here on ChiefsPlanet.
It's turning out to be a very interesting show, in my opinion. The production values are solid and the acting is more-than-decent. The best part is the nuance and subtlety that they are adding throughout (very Marvelesque care taken with the writing).
There are details that foreshadow upcoming episodes as well as lots of meta-references to the source material. I give it 4.5 Squashed Squids after 4 episodes.

It's good. They've done a great job of striking the nerve of the graphic novel and carrying it's core into a contemporary time. I'd have to agree with some of what I've read about how this is closer to the essence of the GN than the movies was. Snyder just wanted to use the material to make a cool film, and he did so. The new production teams gets the GN, and it shows [Reply]
The last couple of episodes have been nails. I find it very interesting that Adrian has his own cult following that he may or may not have any knowledge of while in exile. It's must watch for me.
And I'd like to point out that their intros at the beginning are a straight ripoff of Legion, but I'm completely fine with that. [Reply]

Yes. I'm glad that they're connecting the graphic novel to the new material and by answering questions of what happened during the time between the two eras [Reply]
