Watchmen's Regina King Offers Emotional Explanation of the Ending

With Season 1 of HBO's Watchmen Series now complete spoke with star Regina King about her experience playing Angela Abar aka Sister Knight and how she explained the final shot of the season finale Does.

As the final scene unfolds, we eat the single egg left behind from the ill-timed waffle-making session of Doctor Manhattan. Knowing that her late husband can pass on her powers by ingesting something (like an egg) for someone to do, Angela eats the egg and tests it to see if she can walk on water like she did Saw him in the last episode. But as Angela's leg touches the surface of the pool, the episode ends, leaving us on a cliffhanger without knowing the answer. It is a vague ending, which looks at how the Watchman graphic novel concluded.

Many fans have offered their thoughts on what the end means and whether Angela has actually gained divine powers, but now the King has weighed in with his thoughts. Her thinking is less about the powers Angela gets and more about the emotional impact of that moment.

"The way I considered it because I really fell in love with the love story between Angela and Doctor Manhattan, I felt like when she saw that egg, she didn't necessarily have the opportunity to take her powers off. As I was watching. So my explanation was that she saw this as one last chance that she could be closer to John, that somehow it would bring them back together, or as it seemed. That's crazy, maybe they'll be in the form of one, "the king explained." I believed it was a continuation of the love story. I'm one of those people who love love, and I love It was just amazing that in this story of pain and trauma and anger, that he was able to snatch up an ultimate love story. "

So while the final shot may contain a practical question as to whether Angela gains the powers of Doctor Manhattan, it also provides a final, touching moment for the mind-bending love story between the two heroes.

Even though we don't have a definitive answer as to whether or not Angela gets the powers, Damon Lindelof acknowledges that the implication is that if the camera kept moving, we would actually see Angela walking on water. So imagining that he has the abilities of Doctor Manhattan, we asked King how he thought Angela would use all that power.

"I think I feel good for the most part, even if you see this lady going into her angry Nixonville and putting that guy in her trunk and I still feel like she's a very responsible person. There is a person here who has inherited three children due to the death of his partner during the White Knight, "said the king." So I think he is a part of those powers. Health will be responsible. "

But enough about the divine forces that can change the world. Let's talk about the real mystery of the show: Lube Man. In one of the show's most comical and horrifying scenes, Sister Knight chases down a masked man who had been tailing him, only to end up when he dips himself into the greasy and seemingly impossible to escape. Falls into a sewer. Watchman's partner website Patty Pedia is all but confirmed by Lube Man's identity as none other than Agent Petty, who may or may not surprise viewers. But the most shocking part of the entire Lube Man saga may be that his sleek stunt was genuine.

"It was wild. It was wild to see the man doing this. I was like, o yo, it's bananas! The king cheered. "And it was as cold as dirt that day. So he's in that polyurethane, whatever it was that was on it, and he did it, and it was amazing. ... They built that little drain so that he Slide into it. But yes, it was a real stunt. "

Fans have been limited to whether Watchman will have a second season. Even Damon Lindelof is uncertain. But King has made it clear that in order to recreate his role, HBO must make season 2 on one condition.

“I will totally do a season two, but all I want is to just be smart and be emotionally driven as season one. And this is a long order. So I just want it to be in line with that, ”Raja said. "I can say that I want to make a comeback if this season one can happen to anything."
