RE: What is the point?
If you haven't sussed that pretty much any Watchmen thread is going to be spoiler full - this one is too. SPOILERS. I just want to pre-empt the obvious. I know the point of the 'alien' was to unite humanity against an 'outside' threat so that all of humanity would feel threatened, rather than a more prosaic, if still horrific, 'event' perhaps not quite having the same impact and desired effect.  So I know it can't be anything simple, mundane and human - like nukes, chemical ... Read More KeithM About me

The point is that to bring humanity together the agent must be "other" and completely alien, not nukes or DrM. Within the story, these are both known quantities with history within that world. Bringing DrM in at the end like this via Ozzy shows a massive lack of understanding of his important... Read More KeithM About me
