Just listened to a Fresh Air segment about one of the principal writers of the TV show - Cord Jefferson. Cord Jefferson has one tangential mention in the article. https://www.npr.org/2020/08/29/906214563/fresh-air-weekend-watchmen-writer-stephen-miller-and-the-white-nationalist-agend — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.225.10.29 ( talk) 19:41, 30 August 2020 (UTC)

I want to help provide relevant and important information for this page.
This should have at least some basic info on continuity, beyond the bare statement that it takes place in the same fictional universe as the original comics. E.g., how does it relate to/depart from the film continuity? To other film/TV works by the same comics publisher? And so on. Keep in mind that many people only know of Watchmen from the film, and are not comics readers. (For my part, I'm not a superhero comics reader, and don't even watch most filmic adaptations of them, so I won't be of any help on this particular matter.) — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼 13:13, 27 October 2020 (UTC)
Anyway, it's probably worth at least a few sentences that the major continuity break between the film and TV/comics story lines is simply the squid vs. exploding reactors point, with a secondary and weak discontinuity being Manhattan's very Earth-visible activities on Mars in the TV show. Well, that and Dreiberg being (so far) just being ignored; the viewer of the TV series gets no impression of his having had any impact of any kind after the events of the comics/film. (That could, of course, change in later seasons.) Regardless, I think people tend to use our articles on fiction franchises to get continuity info pretty often (I know I do), so I found it weird that this article was totally devoid of any.

The section begins with the dates May 30 2018 to June 2 2018 for filming the pilot. That seems short. 2600:8807:5400:600:D076:10F3:15D7:D116 ( talk) 13:24, 7 March 2024 (UTC)
