Watchmen Issue #12, “A Strong And Loving World”

10/17/2019
Our walk through Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons’ Watchmen ends with issue #12, “A Strong And Loving World.” Or does it? Because nothing ever ends? No, this ends, as Dr. Manhattan and Laurie Blake return to Earth to confront Adrian Veidt; and our assembled heroes are faced with an impossible decision. SUBSCRIBE TO WATCHMEN WATCH ON ITUNES, ANDROID, SPOTIFY, STITCHER, OR RSS. FOLLOW US ON TWITTER, INSTAGRAM AND FACEBOOK. SUPPORT OUR SHOWS ON PATREON. The theme music for Watchmen Watch was written and performed by Jeff Solomon. Plus, here’s a transcript of the episode, so you can read along as you listen: Alex: Welcome to Watchmen Watch, who watches it? We get ready to watch it as we’re coming up on Watchmen Watch on HBO, but first, we’re going to be watching a comic book which just kind of sits there. I’m Alex. Justin: I’m Justin. Pete: I am Pete. Alex: We are going to be talking about the final issue of the Watchmen comic, the 12th issue, A Stronger Loving World, as we wrap up our recap of the comic, and transition totally seamlessly into recapping the TV show, no breaks there, don’t even worry about it. Before we get into it though, I’m a little concerned here, I see you Justin, I see you Pete, our fourth co-host including- Pete: Come on man- Alex: … some of the biggest four people, isn’t here, what’s going on? Justin: Well, It’s a great day here. I actually have some very exciting news. Alan is here, Alan go ahead and introduce yourself. Hello… I’m just kidding, he’s not here. It’s- Alex: Man. Justin: … he bailed again. Pete: That was… Alex: That was fine. Justin: We’re doing this really insulting them. Alex: Yes. We do this over video Skype chat. Even though I can see you when you start doing that voice, I was like, I’m convinced he’s here. That’s how good your voice was. Justin: Yes, I am here. Alex: He’s here again. Pete is here. Justin: No, that’s just me. That’s how seamless when you’re a classically trained actor as I am, you can slip in and out of a character. Sorry, Alan Moore isn’t going to make it for the 12th and final time. Alex: Man, that is too bad. Well, hopefully I know how psyched he is about the show, he’s been out on the promotional tour, chatting it up, talking about what’s going on in HBO. Justin: He’s at a Buffalo Wild Wings premiere party for Watchmen. Pete: I’m going to be there for that. [crosstalk 00:01:48] Are you kidding me? Come on. Justin: He has a sauce that’s branded the Alan Moore nuclear explosion wings. Alex: I heard they’re also putting that on the Rorschach shows. Justin: Those are not shows. Alex: Yes. Justin: It’s tricky. Alan Moore has lost a step as a writer, especially when it comes to naming a product tie in appetizers. Alex: He used to be so good at that too. Justin: Yes. Alex: It’s surprising. Justin: That’s right. He was the one that came up with unlimited breadsticks. They used to be unlimited potential Doctor Manhattan breadsticks. Alex: That’s all- Pete: Were they blue? Alex: … why I always feel like it’s five minutes to midnight whenever I go to the olive garden. Justin: 100%. Guys- Alex: It’s the- Justin: … Their original slogan was, when you’re here, you have a blue dick, they changed it to family. Alex: I remember I went there one time and I was like, “Hey, we’ve been waiting for a while for our food, can we get our food?” And they were like, “You ate it 35 minutes ago.” Justin: That’s how they made a fortune in their early days. Alex: They get you, every time they get you, do you know who also gets you? Adrian Veidt gets you, Ozymandias gets you and he gets the entire world. He got them. He did the ultimate punked episode. He punked the entire world in this issue. Really glad I went for that reference. Justin: No, this is the context we should speak about this final issue. It is the ultimate punkting. Alex: When we left the characters of this book… I was about to say the what. Justin: When we left the characters, we said a hardy...

The theme music for Watchmen Watch was written and performed by Jeff Solomon. Plus, here’s a transcript of the episode for you to read through as you listen: Alex: Who watches the Watchman and who watches you watching the Watchman? We watch you watch the Watchman right through your window like a bunch of creeps. I’m Alex. Justin: I’m Justin. Pete: I’m Pete, but your- Alex: And this is- Pete: Your intro is getting creepier and creepier, man. You got to figure something out with that. Justin: So is Watchman. So is Watchman, Pete. Alex: It is, and we got a lot of episodes together. We got two episodes to go here on the comic, and then we’re going to be jumping into the TV show and by the end, things are going to get real fucked up. Pete: Yeah. Alex: Yeah. that’s 100% truth. Speaking of fucked up, I’m sorry to do this. Our fourth host, Alan Moore, the landmark, the benchmark [crosstalk 00:00:42]- Pete: Can you even call him a host at this point? Justin: What are you talking about? He’s been here for a couple of the episodes. Alex: Yeah, I remember he had some good things to say about the last issue, I think. Justin: Yeah, he really, really blew himself up over that last issue. Alex: Oh boy. Justin: It’s like, “Chill out dude. We get it. You’ve Rowe Watchman. But anyway, so he just texted me and he was like, “Hey, I was there 35 minutes ago.” So I don’t know if we missed him. Alex: Well, I’ll tell you what, as long as he recorded his part of the podcast, we’re doing this one over Skype. I could just edit it in. I can edit it in afterwards, and I’m sure it’ll be seamless. So, just throughout this podcast episode, let’s take incredibly long pauses. Justin: Yeah, that’s true, and we’ll just drop in some Alan Moore Bond Moe’s. Alex: Yeah, oh, I thought you were going to say beneas for some reason. I don’t know why. Justin: Interesting, it’s two different words. Bond Mose, means good words. Beneas means doughnut for rich people. Alex: Speaking of doughnuts for rich people, we’re going to be talking about chapter 11 and not going intellectually bankrupt over it. As we talk about Look on my Works, ye Mighty the second to last issue of Watchman by Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons. As mentioned, the show is premiering on October 20th. I don’t know if we want to get into this on this podcast. I will mention we’re about a week out. We tape these episodes about a week in advance, and we’ll probably catch up when we get to the show. I did see the first episode [crosstalk 00:02:14] at Comic Con. Justin: What? Alex: What? No, I did. I don’t know if we want to talk about that at all on the podcast before we get into the issue. Pete: What was it like man? Justin: Well it’ll be one side of the conversation, but yeah, let’s do it. Alex: Sure, I’m not going to spoil anything for anybody because I do want us to talk about a clean and fresh on the podcast itself, but two observations I will give you all your listeners. The first one, so they showed off the first episode previously at TCA, the Television Critics Association. I did talk to some coworkers and friends there who had seen it, but generally that’s kind of mum, that’s a very private situation for people watching that stuff. So this New York Comic Con, this was thousands of fans inside the Javits Center. Alex: It was the first time they really publicly showing off Watchman, and Damon Lindelof came out on stage, and I don’t want to ascribe too much emotion for him because I don’t know him...
