I'm a big fan of Moore and a writer, so I'd really love to watch. But, because I'm currently between jobs and because I'm a trans woman, I don't really want to give the BBC $90. Plus, knowing Moore's personal stances, I don't think he'd mind me not paying given these reasons.

So does anyone know of a place where I could stream the episodes or does anyone have personal downloads of them? Thanks.

    I will give you the Alan Moore writing teachings for free.

    Your protagonist is a man in his prime, a white 37 year old. He is fighting for his beliefs by debating politicians through internal monologues. He meets the female protagonist, a woman in her prime at age 17 and 1/4. She falls in love with him, and he has sex with her or forces her to move into a brothel or get bangs or something. After completely upheaving her life, he bounces because she is less important than the soliloquy struggle and lacks the philosophical reasoning power to fully comprehend his internal monologues. Eventually, she realizes that she was too attached to material things like shopping, eating, and bathing truly comprehend his philosophical prowess. Unfortunately, at 18 and 1/3 her prime years are waning, but she can always look back at what could have been.

      Regardless of me thinking you're being incredibly reductive of some great women characters he's written, like Promethea and Silk Spectre, it's fine if you want to air out your criticisms of Moore, but do it on your own damn post. Don't leave a comment like this where you sarcastically pretend to answer the question/request I had. I didn't make this post to be talked down to and guilt tripped about a writer I enjoy.

      This is like you being at party and overhearing someone passionately talking about a piece of art or an artist they like, so you barge in to tell said person how wrong and stupid they are. It's an unwanted, unneeded dick move. And on a site like this, where we operate under the presumption we can engage in good faith conversations and dialogue, it's only gonna put people off from the ideas you're proposing while making them think you're an asshole.

        I’ve obviously read Moore myself. I actually like Silk Spectre/Watchmen. It was a joke. I’m not criticizing you for liking his comics. I like them too.
