This week on WatchmenHBO, Wade’s origin story exposes an even bigger secret: the mystery of the squid. Alan Sepinwall’s recap
— specifically, those annual installments about cosmic punching bag Matt Jameson. When the story begins, Wade is a young man of faith, part of a Jehovah’s Witness field trip from Oklahoma sent to convert the heathens of Hoboken, NJ, at a carnival in the fall of 1985. A girl adjacent to a gang of Knot Tops appears to be seducing him in the funhouse’s hall of mirrors, but really she’s just tricking Wade out of his clothes to punish him for trying to judge her and her friends.
As revealed to him by Joe Keene Jr. — another liar, who has been secretly masterminding the war between cops and 7K without Wade or anyone else so much as twitching — the squid wasn’t an alien invader at all. It was a creation of Veidt’s: “An elaborate, meticulously engineered hoax to save the world,” as the mastermind puts it in a video he recorded years in advance for President Redford’s inauguration day.
* The intense focus on Wade risks making our weekly Veidt interlude feel like an unnecessary distraction. Fortunately, this one not only comes right after we’ve seen video of a younger Veidt addressing Redford, but fills in a huge puzzle piece regarding what’s happening with him.
