I really hated seeing Doctor Manhattan on Mars, apparently the god who was transcending human perceptions of space and time hasn't figured out anything better to do over the last 30 years.
I think that the line between good and bad will get fuzzy. I have a feeling that they are setting up an easy antagonist so that they can pull the rug from under the audiences feet at the season climax.
