...Not what I was expecting, but I'm down. 

It's like Heismanberg is always saying: the superhero genre is fresh new thing and more of it is needed.

If Tim Blake Nelson is doing his Southern accent, I'm in for the duration.

Did Alio watch this or does he still hate Lindelof?

If I defecated on the American flag, how would that make you feel?

lmao, would it surprise everyone that I hated it?

By the way I do find it interesting that the critics overwhelmingly came out against Joker, but are fawning over this pilot like its the gold standard. Interesting.

The entire episode was a monument to wokeness from start to finish. Redfordations, the idea that Rorschach can only be considering to have redeeming qualities by white supremacists like his journal wouldn't have instead caused a major anti-government backlash as opposed to anything racial.

Rorschach for all of his bullshit wasn't even a racist. Homophobic to be sure, but of all the issues he had with his prison shrink, it was never disclosed that the guy being black was one of them. In fact, the new Rorschach in doomsday clock is black.

I knew I was in trouble when AV Club and VOX rushed to suck its dick.

There's no implication that Rorschach is inherently racist, just that his legacy was hijacked and perverted by racists. Not the first time white supremacists latched on to an image they thought was cool and ruined it for everyone else.
