Episode 9: Eggs, Legacy, and Nostalgia in HBO's Watchmen
<p>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.</p>

Episode 8: Pyrrhonism and Eternal Recurrance in HBO's Watchmen
<p>In this episode CMU students Baris Denezli and Elle Norman get deep with their philosophical musings on HBO's Watchmen. Baris applies the radical skepticism of the Greek philosopher Pyrrho to the concept of morality in Watchmen, showing how difficult it is for the audience to judge any character as wholly "good" or "evil," given their complex actions and motivations. Elle references a similar concept from Friedrich Nietzsche, the concept of Nihilism, but she spends more time on another of Nietzsche's ideas, that of eternal recurrence. Elle sees that Dr. Manhattan's unusual perception of time---his ability to live simultaneously in the past, present and future---as having some similarities to Nietzsche's notion of time as a flat circle.</p> <p><br></p> <p><br></p>
