Perhaps it's a conspiracy by the world"s elite to convince us that science fiction is bad and slowly indoctrinate us to believe that romantic comedies are better thereby ensuring that we will be defenseless against invasion by very charming aliens.

So what's the odds that Netflix wanted to renew it for two more seasons but D&D said they could finish it in four episodes?

Yeah I'm getting the feeling that it might end up something weird like a limited series with extra long episodes? Or maybe just two more two hour episodes to finish it.

While I thoroughly enjoyed 3 Body Problem and devoured every episode, it was a pretty thin gruel on the whole. I'll absolutely watch it all to the end. (I have not read the books, and also don't give a fig about rEsPeCtInG tHe SoUrCe MaTeRiaL. Do what you need to do.) But lordy, THREE-BODY though, it's a satisfying meal. Only up to episode 12, but loving it. Even the bloody videogame stuff is better, and it's done fully-rendered rather than that horrible half-live-action-composited. Want to speed things up, just press the >> button, like a normal person. Perfect. Also Bingbing  - yep, she's worth 10 guys, and keeps proving it with her competence.

In San-Ti culture, would "stay hydrated" be considered a grievous insult?

I think someone has to stay hydrated to start re-hydrating the rest, so saying that would be like saying you trust them with your life.

Just finished this despite wanting to stop multiple times and I can’t believe how bad it was. The writing and acting was rough. I think the show runners were so successful with GoT because they basically lifted great characters and dialogue one-for-one from the books. After watching this show, I don’t think they actually know how to write good characters.

This is really not boding well after they said they had planned on 4 seasons... https://collider.com/3-body-problem-season-2-netflix/ quote:There are three books. The first season roughly follows the arc of the first book, and the second season would probably roughly follow the second book. The third book is massive. It's twice as long, I think, as the other two books, so maybe that's one season, maybe it's two. But I think we'd need at least three, maybe four seasons to tell the whole story. It's a beautiful ending. I think all three of us thought that the last page of Liu Cixin’s epic was maybe the best final image we'd encountered in a sci-fi saga like this. It's incredibly moving and mind-blowing, and so we’re desperate to get to the end. That means, hopefully, if enough people watch it that Netflix will renew us and give us a couple more years.

all these characters selling out Earth or plain old giving up is making me feel some kind of way (that way is as a 40k commissar).

I don’t know if this was a good adaptation of bad source material or a bad adaptation of good source material, but all the momentum fell out of the story about halfway through, after the reveal. Really did not like it whatsoever.

Really did not like it whatsoever. The books are incredible but the cool thing about them is the plot and theory and science, not as much the characters and dialogue. I think a good adaptation would've brought over the plot and ideas but written really good characters and dialogue. This wouldn't be easy because the books are long and dense but hey no one forced these guys to make them into a show.

The books are fairly poorly written to the point I thought the first was a bad translation but I found out later it wasn't. Characters are barely characters. And even the cool ideas sometimes suffer a lot in their actual execution but they are cool. It was a poor choice by D&D because the good seasons of GOT (1-4) they had good to decent source material to adapt. It fell apart when they tossed out the stuff they hadn't adapted and wrote their own stuff. Here they didn't even have strong source material and needlessly changed a number of things for the worse.

This would be like of The Hobbit where it's multiple installments for no reason just to try and make more money.

Honestly, half a season for the remainder, then half a season on Book Three stuff, before a full third on the rest of Book Three seems reasonable.

Without going to much into bookstuff, I wouldn't really see what they would do past the material of the third one.

I don’t think there was ever a question of them trying to go past the books. It was just whether they’d even get thru the books after the announcement that was vague about how many more episodes they’d do.

bawfuls posted:It’s like 1.75 more books cause they jammed a bunch of book 2 into the first season Yeah, I suspect they're gonna just rip through what's left of book 2 as quickly as possible. Gonna want to spend a good chunk of their Season 2 budget on Book 3 stuff with as much as there is to it and how out-there it gets.

Bold strategy, given that The Dark Forest is leaps and bounds better than the other two.
