A God Walks Into Abar

12/10/2019
Episode 7's title is “A God Walks Into Abar” and came from a happenstance, according to director Nicole Kessell. They had given Angela the surname "Abar" early in development.

If You Don't Like My Story, Write Your Own

11/12/2019
Episode 4's title is “If You Don't Like My Story, Write Your Own,” and it's a nod to Nigerian author Chinua Achebe's 1958 novel Things Fall Apart, which also happens to be the book Cal (Yahya Abdul-Mateen II), the husband of Angela Abar (Regina King), is seen reading in the episode. It also serves as a double meaning for creator Damon Lindelof and co-creator of Lost who made a very divisive ending to that series where he probably wished at the time he could tell half the audience to write their own story since they didn't like how it ended.

Look On My Works, Ye Mighty…

9/10/2019
This penultimate chapter focuses on Adrian Veidt – Ozymandias. Detached from humanity, his only kinship with a king, Alexander of Macedon, who died over 2300 years earlier, Veidt is a singular being. His admiration for the lateral thinking of Alexander, with the ancient king’s solution of simply cutting the Gordian Knot, is second to none and has fueled aspirations to solve his own Gordian Knot – the policy of Mutually Assured Destruction was a “knot to try even Alexander’s ingenuity.” Rorschach and Nite Owl go to confront him about his unbelievable plan.
