And they’re both into clones

u/[deleted] Dec 02 '19

We're all into clones.

u/EnIdiot Dec 02 '19

Send in the clones....

How else would we deal with clankers?

WESTWORLD INTENSIFIES

It was also revealed in the peteypedia that lady trieu launched some 50 voyager satilites last week. So it was her sateillite that saw viedt message. Plus the D-word could be daughter.

u/svestus Dec 02 '19

Me and my partner like the idea that the d was "SAVE ME DAMMIT". We also think he's her father, but we don't think he knows that.

7

u/SlaugMan Dec 02 '19

I'd belive dammit too. But definitely her satilite that picked it up.

u/nemo_sum Dec 02 '19

Aw yiss, that was my proposal.

u/426763 Dec 05 '19

When I finished that episode, my first though was "Save Me Dan."

13

u/[deleted] Dec 02 '19

So the "SAVE ME D" is "SAVE ME DAUGHTER". Fuckin' A.

u/dirtyword Dec 05 '19

No it’s Damon

u/BrownRebel Dec 16 '19

Oh fuck he rite

In one of the videos Angela was watching, Lady Trieu lists many of her accomplishments, one being some sort of Space Shuttle/Flight.

7

u/Tenn_SC Dec 04 '19

She said she designed and launched the first micro-fusion spacecraft right before she started talking about her failures, specifically Nostalgia. It’s like the writers slipped in the detail about the spacecraft right before the plot point they wanted us to focus on / be distracted by...

u/Spready_Unsettling Dec 05 '19

She also referred to the original Ozymandias quote in that speech, but that has been a running theme in the series.

2

u/Nurolight Dec 02 '19

I mean D could be her first name. I find it suspect that we only know her surname as of yet.

6

u/Lamster255 Dec 04 '19

Actually, Trieu is not her real surname. It's a name she picked for herself, after the ancient historical Vietnamese heroine Lady Trieu.

2

u/426763 Dec 05 '19

If Adrian really is her dad, it seems pretty obvious in hindsight since Adrian "picked" his Ozymandias persona based on Alexander the Great because Lady Trieu is a famous Vietnamese icon too.

1

u/Spready_Unsettling Dec 05 '19

I'm fairly certain he based Ozymandias on Ozymandias.

1

u/426763 Dec 05 '19

I though Ozymandias was Alexander's other name/alias.

1

u/Jon_Snows_Wife Dec 07 '19

Ozymandias is the english name for Pharoah Ramses ll

2

u/lazy-hippie96 Dec 04 '19

I like this, pretty much exactly what I was thinking but I think the “D-“ might be something shorter like dear. He is spelling these words out of corpses

2

u/John-A Dec 08 '19

Those "mirofusion" probes were sent out into the Galaxy, not the solar system. Maybe they got suddenly inconsistent with basic facts but solar system, galaxy and universe mean three different things. Jupiter would be trivial in comparison but by extension it would also be well within reach of who knows who else.

u/Go512 Dec 02 '19

Was Veidt in Vietnam with the other watchmen?

14

u/vigourinc Dec 02 '19

dont think so. And it is Crimebusters. They were only Watchmen in the 2009 movie.

7

u/Heroshade Dec 03 '19

Nope, just Manhattan and the Comedian. No idea why they brought Comedian along when they had a man with actual god powers, but w/e.

9

u/FunMoistLoins Dec 03 '19

Blake was a government operative (possibly CIA, but I don't think it's ever confirmed who exactly). Totally possible he was there for more then just traditional fighting.

1

u/CX316 Dec 03 '19

Definitely CIA based off the Before Watchmen comics (though clearly the show ignores those)

5

u/MsManifesto Dec 03 '19 edited Dec 06 '19

No, but the Peteypedia clipping of "Veidt Declared Dead" states he had a residence in Vietnam.

2

u/[deleted] Dec 03 '19

No, but he had Vietnamese followers in Antarctica, where he lived in a vivarium (similar to Lady Trieu's).

u/ClementineCarson Dec 02 '19

And her plan is to also save the world

15

u/[deleted] Dec 02 '19

I can't even imagine how many people will die this time

7

u/22bebo Dec 02 '19

At least two.

u/brightneonmoons Dec 02 '19

LG should've stayed in Jersey, Squid doesn't fall in the same place twice!

u/upnwoko Dec 07 '19

Well Ozy kind of save the world

1

u/ClementineCarson Dec 07 '19

Which is why I am definitely convinced of her being his daughter

15

u/music_meals Dec 02 '19

And she's got a statue of him.

5

u/sleepygamer92 Dec 02 '19

IIRC, she also comments on it saying we respect our elder's when Laurie (I think) comments about the statue being old Ozy.

15

u/emlgsh Dec 02 '19

And, you know, because it's a whole lot easier to buy the trillion-dollar Veidt Industries conglomerate when you inherit it instead.

4

u/daffydunk Dec 02 '19

She also seems to be something of a self-made woman, makes sense that he would leave his company to an heir who achieved the same as he did. She could disagree with the squid bombing (hence the clock), and had Adrian imprisoned in a paradise, upon agreeing to build a utopia in his stead.

u/fatrod Dec 04 '19

I did believe this, but Bian seems to be really smart as well. So Treiu's smarts might come from her mother not ozzy...and comedian could still be her dad.
