      It's very similar to Asimov's, The Gods Themselves.

    As someone who has read the books and watched the Chinese Adaptation of the Book, the message was from a "Pacifist from this World". Take that at face value - that the being who received the message was being honest - saying Ye was lucky it was him that responded - that if she responded and sent another message it would likely get picked up by others on his planet who were not pacifists and would "conquer your world". I won't spoil anything - just confirming that you need to take that message at face value. And Ye's responding will setup the rest of the story as her response has consequences for which she was warned.

    In the show, Benedict Wong’s character does say the Wow! signal has never been decoded. But in real life it can’t be decoded because it doesn’t actually contain any usable information. 6EQUJ5 is a just measurement of how strong the signal was over time. The computer wasn’t able to print out numbers higher than 9 and letters were used to indicate numbers 10+.

    Well, it would amplify the signal, but not speed up any possible response, which is dependent on how many lightyears there are between our sun and the receiver, since the signal travels only at the speed of light.

    Besides the big-budget 30 episode Chinese series--which "sort of" covers the same amount of story as Netflix season one--there's an all-CGI telling that starts deeper into the story and goes much farther into it, and also an odd, no-budget "indie" thing done with peg dolls, a bit like Legos. So there's up to 3 Chinese versions if you search well.

They are going to do that because, like the 3 body system, Capitalism is inherently self desteyctive and can only sustain itself by colonizing others.
      Like in the book, just as earth is doomed to be colonized by the 3 body aliens, China is doomed to be colonized by the Western Capitalist Colonial powers because it is technologically inferior (at it's inception).
      And the only way for China to survive is to reach technological parity; just as in the book, the only way for humans to survive is to reach technological parity.

    I don’t get how this is called “Explained” you explain nothing, you just make a summary of the episode. As someone who watched episode 1 and 2 and watched both your episodes on 1 and 2 i learned nothing new that wasn’t already in the episode. Explained is more for naunced stuff that people might have glossed over or perhaps didn’t deduce from the episode. These bring nothing of value for people who already seen the episode. Would be better labelled “recap” instead of “explained”.
