Episode 9: Eggs, Legacy, and Nostalgia in HBO's Watchmen Tartans Watch the Watchmen
-
- Performing Arts
Brace yourself for an egg pun, or more, because Watchmen is FULL of egg references. From the egg shaped space ship that brings Adrian Viedt back to earth, to the egg farm that Lady Trieu buys from the Clarks, to the egg that may (or may not) contain Dr. Manhattan's residual powers, Watchmen has a thing for eggs. CMU student Anna Toutain brings her interest in egg symbolism to a really interesting discussion with her fellow classmates Nate Roblin and Elle Smith. Nate takes on the tricky subject of Nostalgia---both the fictional prescription drug that Angela ODs on in episode six---as well as the more subtle ways that Watchmen engages with themes of remembering and forgetting. Elle Smith takes on the topic of legacy in another way, by discussing how Watchmen showrunner Damon Lindelof may have projected some of his own issues surrounding legacy onto HBO's Watchmen.
