Pika? Flashbacks work just fine in film if done right. Pulp Fiction and Memento are just two good examples.

Also Slumdog Millionaire.  That entire movie was flashback.

I've seen Pulp Fiction, but not the other two, so perhaps my fear is unfounded. I don't think PF is a good example though, because it can be viewed as a series of  short stories in one movie, whereas Watchmen as one overarching narrative (based on what I've heard of Memento, it also has one narrative, but I would assume that the flashbacks fit the story of a man who has short term memory loss). I think those character stories will play havoc with the overall pacing, but just tossing them would be the greater crime.

If it follows the Watchmen story anywhere close to the source material, the flashbacks will not be a problem.

As a Canadian, MTV can shove their "US Only" restriction somewhere dark and unpleasant.

watched it. Very good. They changed bits and pieces of the story but overall the same ending is achieved.
