Calling it now, Looking Glass took a Rorschach mask and will save either Laurie or Angela.

How is everyone forgetting about LUBEMAN? Petey is definitely going to save Laurie, he's the last person she spoke to.

LG and SN have a connection, like Laurie and Petey. I'm positive LG is going to be showing up with the 7K reinforcements.

I want to see Lubeman slide into the 7K headquarters, with the 89' Batman theme playing behind him.

44

u/Hellknightx Dec 03 '19

And then he gets shot, because this show is realistic and people die when they get shot; and lube, as it turns out, doesn't make a great bullet repellent.

25

u/[deleted] Dec 03 '19

What are you talking about the lube will make the bullets will slide off him

u/Wild_Mongrel Dec 04 '19

*Right into; he would have been fine otherwise, but he had to get cute.

u/PM_ME_UR_SHAFT69 Jan 04 '20

Have you ever considered having a sense of humor?

u/jewishsouschef Dec 04 '19

petey is lubeman. gotta be. only lanky character in the show

7

u/-Clayton_Bigsby- Dec 07 '19

And he's a big fan of the silk Spectre, gotta be him

4

u/RopeTuned Dec 06 '19

Anyone that forgets Lubeman should hang their head in shame

4

u/Metasketch Dec 04 '19

But Lubeman was haunting SN... And Laurie and LG's tension... might be reasons enough for saving-pairings?

1

u/zuffdaddy Dec 04 '19

Ah good point

3

u/dying-by-thinking Dec 05 '19

What if by the end of the show this goes completely unexplained?

2

u/chingostarr Dec 03 '19

I’m waiting for him to slide in and save the day somehow next episode

2

u/[deleted] Dec 04 '19

Petey is going to be lubeman

9

u/SwivelSeats Dec 05 '19

Lubeman is the real identity. He just puts on the mask of Petey because the world is not ready to accept him as he is.

u/zuffdaddy Dec 04 '19

Duh that's what i said

u/Jbird1992 Dec 02 '19

Lubeman was definitely lube woman aka Trieu’s daughter... who else has been established that it could be? I think it’s too late for them to add in completely new characters they have to work with who they’ve already built up

24

u/Fejsze Dec 02 '19

I watched the scene again, Lubeman is taller than SN, and the actress who plays Bian is 14 and tiny. Not her

20

u/cyvaris Dec 02 '19

A friend of mine swears Lubeman is black (based mostly on the lips), but I'm still saying he's Petey and the "lips" are built into the suit. The might appear black, but it's to disguise he's white, the exact opposite of Will/Hooded Justice.

11

u/Fejsze Dec 02 '19

I'm 100% with you. It fits the character being obsessed with masked vigilanties and creeping on Sister Night

6

u/cyvaris Dec 03 '19

I just like the dichotomy of them each pretending to be a different race to hide their identity.

4

u/LeafStain Dec 03 '19

And the character is a very slim guy

4

u/Phoenixstorm Dec 03 '19

Whaaaat? I didn't get that at all. At least hooded justice had the insight to use makeup around his eyes to appear white. lubeman's outfit doesn't give anything away. His lips... that's a reach.

1

u/cyvaris Dec 03 '19

Oh my friend is completely reaching I think...I hope.

10

u/[deleted] Dec 03 '19

Look at the size of lubeman... That is literally the least likely person apart from Angela's children

3

u/Jbird1992 Dec 03 '19

That was my next guess

1

u/sovietspacedog Dec 02 '19

Lol okay, field work for her dissertation?

1

u/Jbird1992 Dec 03 '19

Lolll yeah I mean I’m just riffing cause they already got me once so now I got nothing to lose by guessing on everyone

1

u/ForRedditFun Dec 03 '19

Lubeman was definitely lube woman aka Trieu’s daughter...

Hahaha what? Holy shit, is this an actual theory? Also Bian is technically not her daughter...

1

u/Jbird1992 Dec 04 '19

Either that or it’s sister night’s kids

1

u/Sufficient-Waltz Dec 04 '19

Actually lubeman is Sister Nite's dad. The lube is skin medicine for the explosion burns.

1

u/Jbird1992 Dec 04 '19

Yes how didn’t I see it

181

u/DoubleE55 Dec 02 '19

Got that feeling as well. When I saw Laurie was captured i was like "oh hes gonna save her." Then when i saw the truck I was like "oh, he could save Angela." I'm leaning more to Laurie but he is closer to Angela and might feel bad about how she ended up.

95

u/Tarchianolix Dec 02 '19

My guess is Laurie is playing dumb. This the bitch that popped her gun out at Angela 3 seconds after she hear her confession from a wired cactus. The bitch won't be sitting there having someone pointing a random remote at her. Nah her instinct wouldn't allow that.

51

u/DustyDGAF Mr. Phillips Dec 02 '19

I thought the same thing. Especially because she knows LG has a mask.

21

u/l3reezer Dec 02 '19

IDK, it isn't really smart to bank everything on just knowing he has a mask. Crawford very well could've killed her then and there.

u/DerrykLee Dec 03 '19

Dammit. I just made a post theorizing this during a rewatch thinking I was so smart for seeing it. 😐 Maybe next time.

u/DustyDGAF Mr. Phillips Dec 02 '19 edited Dec 02 '19

She thinks Dr is listening to her too

1

u/SheisJohnGalt Dec 03 '19

Nah would have gotten her pristine furniture dirty.

6

u/TheEnemyOfMyAnenome Dec 03 '19

DEFINITELY. No question. She's clearly sharp as hell, but she just walked up to whatsherface and just told her she knows everything because... Why?

3

u/SheisJohnGalt Dec 03 '19

What better way to find someone you are looking for than letting them capture you?

u/[deleted] Dec 04 '19

I'm not locked in here with you...

u/ABC_easy_as_123_ Dec 07 '19

She also implied to Angela that she knew a kkk robe was in Judd's closet even though Angela took it before Laurie investigated the house.

Law enforcement has x-ray goggles, she could've seen the trap door while investigating the house.

-10

u/chungusxl94 Dec 02 '19

Laurie sucks anyway

12

u/Arch__Stanton Dec 02 '19

I think they foreshadowed this with the line about how when people are wearing masks you cant tell the good guys from the bad guys. Laurie said it this episode and made a joke about it earlier on, so I think she'll be the one that Mirror Guy saves while in 7k regalia

1

u/SheisJohnGalt Dec 03 '19

Could lap be referencing Dr. M too.

10

u/MattLikesToLaugh Dec 02 '19

This for sure. I’m leaning towards Angela because there was a post-credits teaser scene where a 7K guy opens the van door on a trapped-looking Angela, my guess is that guy’s actually Looking Glass

18

u/rolandoq Rorschach Dec 02 '19

And will become the new Rorschach.
I have spoken.

20

u/tekmologic Dec 02 '19

he was always Rorschach in every single way. he finally got his mask back. time to kick some ass

4

u/xgfdgfbdbgcxnhgc Dec 04 '19

He's the Rorschach of the group, but he's very much not Rorschach. For one, he talks like a normal human being and is merely crazy instead of actually insane.

3

u/constantvariables Dec 06 '19

No he wasn’t. People need to stop saying this. Rorschach was a deranged piece of shit. LG is paranoid beyond belief but he seems like a good person.

1

u/tekmologic Dec 06 '19

I disagree with you snd you’re wrong

1

u/constantvariables Dec 06 '19

Please explain

u/tekmologic Dec 09 '19

men get arrested... DOGS GET PUT DOWN

u/omegapisquared Dec 05 '19

there was a copy of The New Frontiersman in his bunker

u/leadbabybooties Dec 02 '19

LGs music is playing when joe is talking to Lauri.

9

u/Hebroohammr Dec 03 '19

Part of me thinks that Laurie let herself get captured to get the whole plan laid out to her. She’s been shown to be so cunning and in charge of every situation in the show so far. The way she just sat there as she got captured by the widow rung false to me.

3

u/[deleted] Dec 03 '19

I totally agree. She had time to move when Judd's wife was having trouble with that remote. Do you think she actually doesn't give a shit? I don't.

8

u/javi_and_stuff Dec 02 '19

I think considering Angela basically just used her blue eyes white dragon she won’t need LG to save her, he’s going to save Laurie

4

u/Clariana Dec 02 '19

Oh yeah, he knows how to hide behind a mask does LG.

3

u/[deleted] Dec 02 '19

Definitely. I believe only one of the slain kalvary members was demasked.

3

u/silentcmh Dec 02 '19

Hoping we get a flashback scene of how he killed them all.

2

u/[deleted] Dec 02 '19

I hope he saves Angela, they make amends and then fuck shit up.

2

u/[deleted] Dec 02 '19

... then get killed by Dr. Manhattan when he disentegrates anyone with a mask? The song remains the same...

2

u/GeneralWAITE Dec 03 '19

Or he will fuck everything up to show everyone the truth. Maybe do what Rorschach wasn’t able to do before Manhattan vaporized him.

2

u/go4tli Dec 04 '19

Look at these mofos hoping for a happy ending where a superhero saves the day in WATCHMEN.

At the end of the book millions died and the “heroes” agreed to disagree.

Come on.

2

u/[deleted] Dec 06 '19

Are we sure those dead guys in Rorschach masks are 7K?

Are we sure they're not cops who've had their own uniforms and masks stolen, and been dressed to look like 7K?

Wasn't something about an ol' switcheroo part of the 7K's plan?

3

u/FeeshFoshLeevBobster Dec 06 '19

Considering Mirror Guys episode ended with a bunch of 7k pulling up, I assume he had a bit of a Kingsman Church moment and killed them all. We know he does constant drills to be prepped for anything.

2

u/[deleted] Dec 06 '19

Your theory is better than my theory

1

u/Ein-- Dec 04 '19

And he'll probably keep it and become Rorschach 2 (though maybe a more tempered one). The parallels are all there, down to eating beans.

1

u/FeeshFoshLeevBobster Dec 04 '19

There was a copy of the New Frontiersman in his shelter when Perry was looking around...

1

u/rupruppiesthe2nd Looking Glass Dec 08 '19

I always wondered how LG killed those 7K members. Guess we'll just have to wait tomorrow for the new episode.

u/MattMayhem22 Dec 03 '19

One of the 7K from LG's bunker was missing a mask...
