At first, I thought that piling these two twists right on top of each other diminished the second one's impact slightly, but after some reflection, I now think that they're actually reinforcing each other in a powerful way.

Finding out what happened in Angela's own dark past and witnessing how it affects her in the present ... that is the kind of story I crave. And episode seven delivered.

"An Almost Religious Awe" is the most Angela-centric episode of Watchmen yet... But it's also, cunningly, about Doctor Manhattan, who keeps turning up throughout Angela's childhood in Vietnam.

Tonight’s episode, “An Almost Religous Awe” pulls a rabbit of its Lost shaped hat and exposes your own thoughtless limitations of what you think the almighty may look like because most people always associated it with the one who looks just like them.

[Cal's] revelation would have been stunning on its own, so well buried in the story and out of nowhere it is, but what really gives it power is how it bridges the various story threads.
