The group is spreading the good word at a carnival (with some major Stranger Things vibes going on), when a woman pulls Tillman into a hall of mirrors and acts like she’s going to give him a blowjob, only to steal his clothes and run away. We see Tillman as a young man in Hoboken, New Jersey, part of a traveling group of preachers attempting to convince people to accept the Lord in time for nuclear doomsday. So Episode Five, naturally, starts with Squidmaggedon itself. “You can’t just do that in passing reference.” What does 30 years after something like that happens, what does the world look like?” Lindelof told Esquire. “We're married to certain things that the canon put out, like Vietnam is a state, or that Robert Redford was running for president against Nixon, or that Adrian Veidt dropped an enormous fake alien being in the middle of Manhattan that killed three million people. Damon Lindelof's new show ignores this ending and only uses the 12 original comics as canon.

To be clear, the 2009 Zack Snyder movie changed the ending, removed the squid, and made it an attack to frame Doctor Manhattan. Millions are killed in the incident, and, as Veidt predicted, world leaders believe the Earth is under attack by an alien threat and come together-ending the threat of nuclear war-to fight this new enemy. Its death generates a massive psychic shockwave from within its brain, killing half of the population of New York City. As predicted, large sections of its body (namely its tentacles) explode upon arrival, causing considerable collateral damage and killing the creature instantly. As the Watchmen wiki describes: At midnight on November 2, 1985, Veidt teleports his monster into the heart of New York City. Veidt uses one of his company's technology to teleport the being into the middle of Manhattan. This squid contains a brain created by the cloned brain of a dead psychic, and augmented to transmit terrible images dreamed up by the writers. Damon Lindelof Takes Us Inside WatchmenĬonfused? Here’s a quick refresher before we get into Episode Five: If you'll recall, in the end of the original Watchmen comic, Adrian Veidt’s grand plan involves kidnapping a bunch of scientists and writers to dream up a massive squid creature.Watchmen Takes a Look at the Effects of Trauma.The squid will come back to Earth in July. The tiny animals are plentiful in Hawaiian waters and are about 3in long as adults. The Kewalo Marine Laboratory breeds the squid for research projects around the world. “If humans want to spend time on the moon or Mars, we have to solve health problems to get them there safely.” “There are aspects of the immune system that just don’t work properly under long-duration spaceflights,” she said. They sometimes get sick.”įoster said understanding what happens to the squid in space could help solve such problems. “Their immune systems don’t recognize bacteria as easily. It doesn’t function as well,” Foster said. “As astronauts spend more and more time in space, their immune systems become what’s called dysregulated.
“And, because it’s a simple system, she can get to the bottom of what’s going wrong.”įoster is now a professor in Florida and principal investigator for a Nasa program that researches how microgravity affects the interactions between animals and microbes. “We have found that the symbiosis of humans with their microbes is perturbed in microgravity, and Jamie has shown that is true in squid,” said McFall-Ngai. When an astronaut is in low gravity their body’s relationship with microbes changes, said University of Hawaii professor Margaret McFall-Ngai, who Foster studied under in the 1990s. The squid have a symbiotic relationship with natural bacteria that help regulate their bioluminescence.
Researcher Jamie Foster, who completed her doctorate at the University of Hawaii, is studying how spaceflight affects the squid, the Honolulu Star-Advertiser reported. The baby Hawaiian bobtail squid were raised at the Kewalo Marine Laboratory at the University of Hawaii, then blasted into space earlier this month on a SpaceX resupply mission.
