11/16/19 • 26 min
It's bonus weekend episode of "Shat on TV" dedicated to your listener mail! This Newsstand edition covers new theories on where, when, and why Adrian Veidt is imprisoned; what fell from the sky; whether Judd Crawford faked his own death; and who Lube Man really is.
Join The King Bee and Gene Lyons for a quick rundown of all the listener mail we couldn't fit into the Deep Dive.
Watchmen Episode 4 Summary:
“If You Don’t Like My Story, Write Your Own” Lady Trieu buys out the farmland of an Oklahoma couple just moments before an object from space crashes onto their property as to claim its ownership. Angela learns about Will’s parents at the heritage center, when she hears her car crash outside and meets Laurie, finding a pill bottle inside. Later, Angela leaves the pill bottle and Judd’s KKK outfit with Looking Glass, and fails to capture an unknown vigilante who witnessed her dispose of Will’s wheelchair. Laurie has found Will’s fingerprints in Angela’s car, as well as a connection to Trieu’s facility at the Millennium Clock. Trieu provides them with a list of people with access to new lightweight drones, and in Vietnamese, tells Angela that Will wonders if she got the pill bottle. That evening, Trieu talks to Will about being upfront with Angela, but with events to come to a head in a few days, he would rather she figure it out herself. Meanwhile, Veidt collects fetuses from a lake to grow new clones of Phillips and Crookshanks after killing off all of the existing ones. With their help, Veidt launches the dead bodies by catapult to test the limits of his prison.

Previous Episode
Ep.8: Watchmen - 104 - Deep Dive
"Watchmen" Episode 4, "If You Don't Like My Story, Write Your Own," wasn't filler. It was a funneling of far-flung ideas and characters into a more concentrated storyline, powered by notions of legacy and reckoning.
Our fourth "Watchmen" Deep Dive asks "what's with all the eggs?" while exploring baby-making, Ozymandias' escape plans, and whether characters are learning to trust each other or just tired of wearing masks. This episode also explores:
- Lube Man
- Night Owl's connection to Laurie Blake's vibrator
- echoes of Superman
- and the dark history behind Bian's nightmare.

Next Episode
Ep.10: Watchmen - 105 - Deep Dive
Episode 5, "Little Fear of Lightning" set our sights on "Watchmen" fans' favorite character: Looking Glass. It's a master class in illustrating an origin story while also answering loads of questions.
Our fifth "Watchmen" Deep Dive outlines two big reveals: who is behind the Seventh Kavalry and where is Adrian Veidt? This episode also explores:
- how the drug Nostalgia works
- whether Looking Glass turned on Sister Night
- the sex scene between Hooded Justice and Captain Metropolis
- and the deep meaning behind the episode's title.
Watchmen Episode 5 Summary:
Wade suffers PTSD as a survivor of Veidt’s 1985 squid attack. Laurie bugs Wade’s desk and learns that Angela asked him about the pills. Wade’s ex-wife, Cynthia, tells him the pills are Nostalgia, which contains other people’s memories. The Kavalry lure Wade to a warehouse, where they are testing a teleportation portal. Joe explains both he and Judd are Kavalry members trying to keep them in check. Joe coerces Wade’s help to learn what Angela knows about Judd’s death after showing him a video of Veidt, made a day before the 1985 attack and addressed to future President Redford, explaining his long-term plan; shaking Wade to his core. At the station the next day, Wade gets Angela to state that her grandfather was behind Judd’s death. Laurie hears this via the audio bug and arrests Angela, but not before she ingests the pills. Wade returns home after work and Kavalry members arrive with guns. Veidt learns that his prison is on Europa, and arranges the frozen bodies of his servants to spell out “SAVE ME” so they will be visible to Juno. However, he is pulled back into the prison and arrested by the Game Warden.
