      Thank you BrainPlot for picking up this series. I've just started listening to the audiobook version of the English translated The Three-Body Problem sci-fi book by computer programmer/author CiXin Liu. The first novel of three books. The harmful environmental effects caused by pesticides as depicted by the book Silent Spring, was a metaphor for the insidiousness of the Cultural Revolution. The failed movement, which inevitably resulted in famine that killed 30 million Chinese, harmed the society more than it was intended to cure (via purging of reactionary literati as pests). The learned disillusionment imprinted Ye's pessimistic worldview mindset. The impetus for Ye to seek first contact, despite the warning from the alien conquerors.

      I think the mystery of who was controlling this technology and what their motives were was the intriguing part. The show took a melancholic and almost cheesy/generic turn after that. I only finished the episodes because I felt that I should. Big let-down.

    I loved the adaptation. My only qualm was the moral self righteousness of Auggie who I found to be extremely annoying and a walking contradiction. She stops her research for her own self-preservation. Then, with the whole planet facing extinction, 99.9% of people would have worked towards a goal to subvert this, putting all of their conflicted emotions to the side. She does not. Then, she is seen assisting the villagers? It's like buying sandwiches for people you know are about to be wiped out by a tsunami. What's the point? So SHE can feel better about HERSELF. Not going to lie, I was hoping for a nanofiber mishap to take her out.

    • @kiaser21
      @kiaser21 8 місяців тому +85

      They understand lying perfectly fine. What they did not understand is that humans can communicate something that is opposite their intention.
      A Trisolaran communicates natively in only one way, it's thought automatically shows as light on their body/face. They are not able to think first and then communicate something else later, or even communicate what they exactly thought later. What they think is immediately communicated real time on the light on their body/face.
      A Trisolaran seeing another Trisolaran can immediately read the true thought of each other, neither can communicate opposite of what they thought, nor can they stop the other from viewing that thought.
      That's why they were afraid when Mike explained the Red Riding Hood story. They can't fathom a being that could think and THEN communicate a opposite intention. They can't fathom that the story isn't true, because communicating something means truth (to a Trisolaran). So the wolf, with the intention to eat the children, telling the children it has big arms, legs, ears, eyes for reasons that are not for the intention and finally springing that intention at the end with the answer to big teeth would have fundamentally shocked the Trisolaran into fear.
      So, ultimately, a Trisolaran cannot lie to a Trisolaran in person, but it learned from Mike that it can use communication with Humans over text/audio/produced illusions that do not have to match their intention.

    My one burning question, as someone who has not read the books, is the scene where Dr. Ye received her first communication from the San-Ti. The individual warned her not to communicate with them again as if she did, their species would come and conquer humans. This leads me to believe, obviously, that the San-Ti never had any intention of co-existing with humans as Dr. Ye and Mr. Evans seemed to be under the impression of. This in turn would lead to the idea that if Dr. Ye and Evans believed the San-Ti were going to co-exist with or "save" humanity, does that mean the San-Ti were lying to them this whole time and only using them to get information? If that is the case, why would Dr. Ye not be suspicious of the San-Ti's motives given her first communication from them was a warning to not pursue this course. She is an intelligent woman so to me it seems very odd that she would be shocked or confounded when the San-Ti called humanity bugs. Does she have a different idea for what "saving" humanity means? Is her idea of "saving" humanity just saving them from themselves and ending it? While possible, that would then contradict with her joke to Saul. I'm assuming the punch-line will have meaning going further with the intention of helping humanity against the San-Ti, but if so, why the change of heart? Something about the whole situation doesn't sit right with me.

For me the moment that had me hooked was the sequence when the AI woman was describing their evolution and technology vs ours and from that point onwards the show just elevated for me and the stakes became clear. It levelled things up from the mysterious hints of impending danger.
    It was only upon rewatching that I was able to appreciate it in its entirety so I’d disagree on your take. The first few eps were a bit slow and then from 5 onwards it really picked up. Definitely worth a watch for any true sci-fi fan.

    I thought the joke told to Saul was her way of telling him that the San-ti cant understand jokes or sarcasm, so that would be a way to communicate with other people without the San-ti knowing exactly what they mean, this seems pretty likely because how on earth could they do anything if they cant communicate, communication is key to beating them but scientists cant even do that, but with jokes and sarcasm they could, thats pretty powerful, would definitely be knowledge the San-ti would try to protect from spreading

    I agree with the review. What I liked: It looks gorgeous. Special effects were really well done, probably because the kept them to a few big "wow" moments. Acting was terrific. The flashbacks were well done and surprisingly moving.
    What I did not like. The implication the santi decided to kill us because "we lie". I thought that was basic and absurd. They launched a whole fleet towards us before they knew a thing about us. It would have been more powerful if that "reason" was exposed as a lie itself. I thought the video game stuff did not land. It was too complex and did not see how it could "recruit" people. The whole thing was metaphorical, but they also clearly stated the santi did not get metaphors..so um, huh? They needed a real reason Saul was picked as a wallfacer. It reeked of "main character syndrome" where he was picked..because he is a main character and they needed something for him to do.
    Mixed? Character plots. Some like Will and Ye were well done. But others like Auggie not so much. Some of the characters being so against violence when they knew aliens were trying to kill them, and did kill their friends and want to kill everyone, just seemed like creating conflict for the sake of it.

      The Santi must break our scientific progress and invade us because by virtue of both our existence and our knowledge of them (as revealed by a very naughty Santi) we are a threat to their existence. The universe is actively hostile to any civilisation which announces its presence.
      If the Santi do not break our scientific progress in the 21st century, then we will continue to develop more and more powerful technology until we are a threat to their civilisation.
      Saul is a threat to the Santi because Ye gave him a clue as to the nature of the universe in that strange *joke*.

      I think the videogame wasn‘t metaphorical at all. We don‘t know what the Santi look like, but I really think that they can hydrate and dehydrate. They looked like humans in the game because they seem to be too scary for us. I imagine them like insects or worms or something like that. So the game showed the reality of their planet. And it seems to be important that they always say „If one survives, we all survive .“

  • @EyePropsStudios
    @EyePropsStudios 5 місяців тому +1

    This show was one of the most novel and entertaining ideas for a science fiction series. That being said there were some problems for me. The first is if the San-ti had the knowledge to unfold a proton to higher dimensions, which is unimaginable to us 3 dimensional beings. They should have the knowledge to manipulate space. There is no way they would have such a slow means of travel at 1 percent the speed of light. Also wouldn't they still be 400 years more advanced by the time they reach earth? Wouldn't they still be progressing their science while on the trip? The other is when they destroyed the ship Judgement Day that was some catastrophic damage. How that drive survived was utterly up to chance. I don't know. There were some other weird plot points. But I guess it had to drive the plot forward. Still a fresh riveting take on the alien invasion storyline.

    1. How come the San-Ti never bug Jin, who’s a pretty large threat to them? They show Auggie the countdown, and by the end try to kill Saul. Jin though? Totally untouched.
    2. How come on first contact back in the 1960s they immetiately responded, which implies a common understanding of the Mandarin language? I beleive the two Sophons hadn’t arrived at Earth yet, so this makes no sense.
    3. How come the countdowns stopped being shown to scientists after they revealed themselves and their intentions to the world?
    4. Why would they reveal their intentions to the world to begin with? That doesn’t seem very advanced. I know they’re incapable of lying and they want humans to live in fear/chaos, but it’s just a bad strategy.
    5. How come the Sophons, which can unfold themselves to the size of an entire planet, don’t just go inside people and unfold themselves to kill them? That would make the elimination of threats way more efficient.

Some of the dialogue felt a little 'dumb' for me, the romantic dialogue especially felt so pointless when contrasted with the GRAVITY of the plot.
    I enjoyed the first half of the season and the sci-fi elements a lot - especially how they piloted the mysteries and reveals. It is a little disapointing that the second half of the season seemed to strip almost all of it away? It sort of felt like "ok where do we go from here?" and I think even the characters felt a little aimless. It's hard to put a scenario like that to television but I think they did an alright job.

This was irritating as they changed a lot of the little aspects of what the book was so that they can make sensitive women happy. Aside from the obvious misandry and replacing male characters with women to conform to radicals, it wasnt a bad show.
    The one thing I didn't like was that one lady's attitude, always complaining about her hands getting bloody even though the entire human race is on the line. Then her trying to claim that the nanofiber is her invention and she made it yet it took an entire team to make it and they all contributed just as much as she did to make the final product, yet she feels that she has the sole choice to destroy it and Destroy everyone else's career in the process, because she has reservations about it.
    It was naive, it was selfish, it was childish yet the show tried to make it like she was the one making the good choice. Screw mankind, how I feel is more important is essentially what the message was

    Character development and the internal perspective aren't the author's strong suit and the show definitely corrected for that in its second half. It OVER-corrected, meaning that it lost some focus on the sci-fi, but it is still a damn good adaptation.

    I felt the opposite of the reviewer in the video. I was bored with all the VR headset stuff in the first couple of episodes. I thought it really picked up the pace once we knew the aliens were coming. I also really like the core group of friends the story centers around, and of course Benedict Wong is great. I was totally drawn in by the end of episode 3 and watched all 8 before the weekend was over. Excited for S2!

    Sorry, I'm late to the party... Just finished watching the first season. The destruction of Judgment Day by nanofibers was one of the best scenes in cinema ever made. It honestly was. As nauseating and unsettling as it was to watch... it was masterfully done.
    though, I have one question, maybe you can provide answers: Why did the Trisolarians (San-Ti) let Auggie continue her work after they were so determined in stopping it? keep in mind that this is after they, the Trisolarians, learn that Humans can't be trusted. You'd think that they would crack down harder on stifling Human tech/weapon advancement after learning that humans lie and determining that they can't be trusted. I'm sorry, this plot hole has been bothering me for quite some time. I need answers! hope you reply... nobody ever replies...

    The show started off very thought provoking and ended up sub-par drama with a touch of action here and there. Given the history of the writers, not too confident on this ending well.

    The Sophonts do not "observe everything because they are the size of the world" (unfolded). They can observe many things because in their small form they are the size of a proton, and a proton moves at 99.9999991% the speed of light, so the tiny proton sophonts can zoom around to be wherever they want to be on Earth within a few seconds, but there are only two of them, so they are limited to what they can see.

      One of the hallmarks of intellectually lazy sci-fi and phantasy writing is when science and magic are constantly being used as deus-ex-machina toolboxes to propel an otherwise stuck plot forward. It's painfully clear that that is all that is happening in this material.

      They completely changed the gender and race of the main characters. Somehow all four friends became important to the plot with crucial roles involving the incoming war....this isn't the case in the book. I hate the casting, aside from the actors who played Da-Shi and Ye Wenjie, they nailed it. But overall the show was good.

    The whole the Santi are worried that humans will surpass them does not make sense. The reason the santis growth was slower was due to them constantly being wiped out by the harsh conditions. But if they are all on ships now they are not facing the harsh conditions of there home planet there for the threat of being wiped out and progressing more slowly is nonexistent
