Ron and Jim did their best to deflect before last night’s two final HBO episodes.
In this Jim Watkins stream about #QIntoTheStorm Ron defends his "Steve Bannon is Q" line, says it was an "easy out" for @CullenHoback to "pin it on me" and bizarrely claims Hoback might be Q.
And Jim agrees: "Yeah. If anybody could actually be Q that I know, it would be Cullen." pic.twitter.com/jKRVB2whTA

Fredrick Brennan’s mad escape from the Philippines was a gripping part of the story last night.
Amazing to finally see how @CullenHoback helped @fr_brennan escape the Philippines. #QIntoTheStorm https://t.co/Z4v6CuPbj5

It’s the smile that made it all worth it.
This is the big reveal in the finale of #QIntotheStorm where Ron Watkins says too much to Cullen Hoback and lets his guard slip.
It was so good it made the whole six hours worth it. pic.twitter.com/QzwTGNcl5q

Yeah, pretty much.
Finished all six episodes now of #QIntoTheStorm on HBO. And my main takeaway is that the world is now run by sociopaths with good wifi. https://t.co/kwtCNZgVER

More on the smile.
Ron Watkins told me he never posted as Q, never talked to anyone who claimed they were Q, never knew who it was. Here, it appears he finally slipped up.
The widely believed thesis may wind up being the correct one: Q was a bunch of anons on 4chan, then the Watkinses on 8chan. https://t.co/9L4OZcbUoL

And another take.
My personal takeaway from the HBO QAnon doc is just how bad Jim and Ron Watkins are at lying to your face, but that same shamelessness is incredibly effective when laundered through social media and a network of collaborators.
