Aaaaaaaaaaaand it's done....
HBO won't pursue second season of 'Watchmen' after creator bows out PASADENA, Calif. – "Watchmen" won a loyal following and critical acclaim, as the superhero comics series was adapted into a politically relevant drama about race and the criminal justice system. But don't look for a second season of the drama, which wrapped up its nine-episode run last month, largely because creator Damon Lindelof isn't interested in doing it. [...] Lindelof told USA TODAY this week that he's told the story he wants to tell and has no interest in a second season, though he's "given my blessing" to HBO should it want to pursue a new installment with another writer-producer. But Bloys concedes that's unlikely to happen: "It would be hard to imagine doing it without Damon involved in some way." Sorry, fans, but the season-ending cliffhanger will likely never be resolved.

LOL
What? OK. You'd think they'd have hashed some of that out upfront. |

This was a great self-contained story for what it was (and I did not really view it as ending on much of a cliffhanger). It's the right move. |

I agree that they don't need to do another season, but it's a little ridiculous that they're treating Lindelof's vision as sacrosanct given how Alan Moore feels about the whole thing.

Alright, I'm going to break my "No Damon Lindelof" rule and begin watching this later tonight.

And just since this was bumped, I am about halfway through reading the graphic novels Doomsday Clock. Liking it more than anticipated. |
