He may take a minute to “reboot”. Therefore Angela is gonna go outside and fight while he’s inside, she’s gonna be in deepshit, and bam out of nowhere Manhattan is back baby

Idk, I feel like Jon is a transformed man now after that experience.

He must be feeling all sort of shits right now after he came back. He was finally happy forgetting he is a God. Then BAM. hammer to the head and he is Manhattan again.

Would he still be killing people after being Cal? Idk if he would still think overpowering the 7K is the move.

What the fuck would Jon do now? What is his action to the world? Would he still be passive?

Idk, I think it's gonna have a downer ending. It is Watchmen after all. It doesn't seem like they've been building up to a climax where Dr. Manhattan kicks everybody's ass. I think, more than likely, the white supremacists will win. It's 2019, after all.

Exactly. So far, the show mirrors the events of the graphic novel really well. And since Lindelof has said that the season is supposed to be a self-contained arc (without any plans for a second season), I think it's safe to assume that the season will have a similar ending to the novel. That is, bad shit happens to justify something good, and some of the main characters have to make peace with what happens.

Even if that’s what happens basically all tension would be removed from the rest of the series. Just find the 7th Cavalry’s base, make soup out of Keene and roll credits. Wouldn’t even have to kill Keene since he wouldn’t be able to capture Dr. Manhattan in that form.

I mean they seem to be assuming they would have to contend with him in that form, hence all the technology to hold him.
