3 Body Problem *spoilers*
There are pickles, snags, muddles, and problems. Then there are problems concerning three bodies. This would be the latter.
But problems, three-body or otherwise, can escalate into full-blown conundrums. And that is just what we have for you this Thursday, March 28, in the form of these Spotlight interviews with Zine Tseng and Rosalind Chao, and John Bradley and Alex Sharp, all four of 3 Body Problem fame, who were subject to a myriad of tough questions. The dark forest theory? Could Jason Momoa solve the #3 body problem? Ways that the first season does not end? And what would the ideal three-course meal one could put together to pair with a viewing of 3 Body Problem?

so three body is more listenable after getting thru the first few pages, and not hard to follow after watching the tencent show which was rly faithful to the book. but tbh death's end is so up my alley, my fav writing style, an episodic collage of interconnected perspectives and moments, giving a glance of each time period throughout human history, from the past to the far future, as we unlock more and more of the universe. i love it
#i'm actually reading the ebook bc i don't wanna miss anything#the way it starts with the siege of constantinople lol#kinda reminiscent of cloud cuckoo land but it's chronological#3bp

Thoughts on the Three Body Problem netflix series so far, having watched 5 episodes
Special effects and visualisations of key scenes are great, hope they'll stand up in later seasons set in the future. Looking forward to the droplet and the dual vector foil attack in particular.
I correctly guessed that Will would be the one whose brain they send into space. Wonder if they'll have him buy Jin a star first. This implies him and Jin will be the final couple after the foil attack, along with AA and that Galactic Humanity guy, wonder who's going to play them.
Wasn't a fan of Saul at first, but rereading Dark Forest and Luo Ji is literally him, at least at the beginning. Wonder if they'll do the whole imaginary wife thing.
Love Tatiana. At first I thought she was meant to be Sophon showing up very early.

3 Body Problem may be far from flawless but I find it truly refreshing. You can tell that the approach is genuinely scientific, that the writers took the time to actually do research, consult STEM, think about all the theories and implications, and the plot gains realism thanks to that.
Of course it's still sci-fi with tons of plot devices and easy twists but it has moments where I go "Oh. That's actually clever. The characters are smart on that plan."
Finally we have a sci-fi series where the main crew knows their shit

i'm listening to disjointed sections of the 3 body trilogy again and thinking abt the basic tenant that the need of a resource, no matter how great, doesn't bestow upon u the right to take it from another. the trisolarans are willing to colonize earth bc they fear a hypothetical albeit very real possibility of their own planet getting swallowed by a sun. but it's still an act of colonialism to just come to earth and slash and burn and slaughter. reminds me of ender's game and the formics terraforming the planets they expand to. how the justification for space colonization is always the right of personal survival and proliferation, at the cost of native life. (and also, humanity's fear for personal survival against a perceived threat as the recurrent justification for war and xenocide.)
beyond the very obvious parallel to modern day settler colonialism, it also brings to mind reproductive rights, and how the govt shouldn't be able to borrow your body to carry a child, even if the child has to die. doesn't matter how sentient a fetus can get. u shouldn't be forced to donate your organs to save someone else's life.
#i've discussed the more complex and interesting issue from ender's game a lot before so i'm not gonna spend a lot of time rehashing#but the question of ethical responsibility and fault is always present like approaching the unknown with the assumption of no intelligence#is dangerous but inevitably difficult to overcome#first contact is basically impossible to get right#and the ethics of causing death is also very interesting. like it's literally part of the cycle of life#but the purposeful disruption of a biological system is where u cross the line into harm i think#like (as a very basic example) how we need the wolves in yosemite to kill deer + can't let deer reproduce unchecked or else they overgraze#anyway back to the post i was trying to make before i got sidetracked thinking abt ender's game again#colonialism is a violation at a macro level the way denial of reproductive rights is a violation at the personal level#3bp#eg

For those of you who've been following me for a while now, there's a good chance you got to experience my journey reading the Remembrance of Earth's Past series last year. I loved Three-Body Problem, but The Dark Forest and Death's End were like pulling teeth. Both books had their very very good moments, but getting through them was a tedious experience I considered giving up on on multiple occasions. I will give it to Cixin Liu tho, I needed to know how the series ended and that alone was the sole reason I pushed towards the finish line. Any author that can make me tough out bad writing for the sake of seeing the end deserves some kind of award (and he won a ton anyway, so).
I approached the Netflix series with zero expectations given their propensity for shitty adaptations (One Piece notwithstanding), but after watching the first episode I was left cautiously optimistic.
Having watched all 8 episode I'm still unsure how to feel about it. I spent most of the series hitting pause to rant at my roommate about it, both positively and negatively.
I had many issues with the books, but some of the more obvious ones came from a writing standpoint. I love hard sci-fi. I could not excuse the sheer length of those final two books. The atrocious treatment of women as objects to romance and use as bartering for the main character. The abysmal MCs (specifically Luo Ji) that made me want to yell to the high heavens due to annoying they were. The lack of human connection between characters.
For books so steeped in sociopolitical and ethical commentaries, the flagrant misogyny and homophobia was eye-rolling. And not even in a "This is Bad" sort of way, just in a "This is So Fucking Boring" kind of way. I cannot speak for the author's biases, because the contents of a book in no way reflects the views of an author or their character.
Where the books shone the brightest were during the battle scenes, the looming dread, genuinely horrific thought experiments.
And, surprisingly? It feels like the people at Netflix thought the same.
I've never watched Game of Thrones but I understood why people were against it from the get-go. That, along with the whole "whitewashing" thing which I consider to be interesting. For starters, you're using whitewashed wrong. Yes, they moved the central story from China to England which was... a fascinating choice, but of the core five (that quickly became the core four), only two of them are white. I'm not saying it was okay for a western adaptation to take a cast and further diversify it, I'm just saying that that's not whitewashing.
That aside, I did like some of the choices that were made from a narrative standpoint. Reshuffling and streamlining events, for one. Removing the whole plot line about Luo Ji hunting down a woman who he invented in his head in order to marry her? I'm not entirely sold on the idea of taking core events and divvying them up between four different people, but I do understand what they're trying to do.
The book series failed at crafting believable and impactful relationships between its human characters, which made the narrative feel hollow and one-dimensional. This adaptation aimed to change this by slapping a band-aid over the issue. Like I said, I'm still unsure of how I feel about this.
A lot of unnecessary stuffing was removed to make a suitable run time, and I say unnecessary because there's really no scenes that are making me go "oh, I wish this had been included". Was some stuff rushed? Yes. The passage of time could have been outlined a little better, but that's a small nitpick on my end.
The scale of things was toned down, and I don't think Netflix has the capability (or budget) to tackle space battles.
Honestly? I don't really see this getting a second season for a variety of reasons, and I'd be okay with that.
It was an "okay" watch, in the end.
Tho, I'm still flabbergasted by the random "gory scary jumpscare" scenes????? Where did those come from??? I don't remember anything like that being in the books but, you know. I've read a lot more books since finishing these, so.
