So, Watchmen. I haven't read the book in a while so a lot of the premiere was me going "Oh right, that's a reference to something" without having a terribly firm idea of what the reference was.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
Just watched the Watchmen pilot and I am intrigued. I only read, like half the book years ago plus watched the Synder movie and tried hard to scrub it from my brain (*cringes in memory of "Hallelujah" sex scene) but I'm really digging to the way the show-runners have updated this adaptation for the present time. The world-building is complicated and meaty, and I like the sparseness of explanation -- even when things are WTF-making like the scenes with Jeremy Irons and his android? clone? servants (Tom Mison from Sleepy Hollow!). I guess Irons is supposed to be Ozymandias?
I love Regina King and psyched to see her front and center in something so high profile.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I was going to ignore Watchmen but now I think I'll give it a chance.
I wonder if I still have my old Rorschach t-shirt.

Because books.
Has anyone dipped into Catherine the Great yet?

I haven't read the novel, do I need to before I watch the show? I have it recorded.

I just watched it and I think you'll get a lot more out of it if you've read the graphic novel first.
