'More human than human' is our motto.”
🕑 Added 2019-12-16 07:27:20 +0000 UTCJust watched the finale (series/season?) of hbo's Watchmen. Utterly loved it. Utterly loved the series, as a whole; thought it was a worthy follow-up to Moore's masterwork on almost all fronts...(<spoilers>arresting Ozymandias can fuck right off, though; that was archaic ass pre-Hannibal 2013 era teevee morality. </spoilers>)
Only real complaint is there were rumors that Marionette and Mime, the two best new characters to emerge from the DC/Watchmen crossover series Doomsday Clock (final issue coming out this wednesday! Dying to read that!), would be showing up in some capacity. Crushed that didn't happen, had shot Zody in the Marionette look we've had on here a couple times in anticipation of it, so here you go... dl the zip here: https://we.tl/t-nW2IgJjQxZ
All i can add to that is the soundtrack work by Trent Reznor & Atticus Ross is god-tier stuff, and this (from two episodes ago) is pretty much my favorite moment of everything all year.
Also, got extremely excited about the mesmerism hidden in media/film plot thread, as it felt lifted from Theodore Roszak's novel Flicker, the darkest, bleakest and most hauntingly disturbing bit of prose i've ever put in my head. I don't know that the series ever really paid that off (at least in the way i was hoping for) but i'll jump on any excuse to recommend Flicker - a novel so pitch-black Sartre-esque dark, it may permanently alter your perception of reality for the worse. Darren Aronofsky tried to adapt it, years ago...really hoping someone actually does it, someday.
More stuff up shortly.

Thanks but it still didn’t work. Fortunately I did find out that works on my phone so was able to download on there. I appreciate your help.
hoping this helps... https://www.howtogeek.com/fyi/how-to-unzip-a-zip-file-with-your-iphone-or-ipads-files-app/
Do you (or anyone reading this) know how to download the zip folder on an iPad? I used to download to my laptop but it’s broken. I used Google to try and figure it out but the methods I found didn’t work.
I'm a bit less enthusiastic about the season as a whole, but when it wasn't bogged down with too much political baggage, there were some great scenes to behold for sure. Jeremy Irons was my MVP, but I loved seeing Jean Smart return to the screen and I think she worked well with Regina King. If they manage to land a second season then they should absolutely bring in Marionette and Mime.
