Takes No Damage

The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents. We live on a placid island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity, and it was not meant that we should voyage far.

I mean, I'm going to find a way to watch it and see.

Anyone know anything about the company making this? Are we looking at soap opera style production values or are they the Chinese Netflix and this has a chance at having a decent budget?

China's produced a lot of good live action scifi recently. I could see it being good.

Maybe not justice to the original 100+ episode series good, but no movie is accomplishing that.

I would personally keep expectations in check. As much as I liked Three Body Problem (and seem to be alone in feeling this way in TVIV) I have to admit the production value was on Doctor Who levels, where the made-for-tv quality was a charming sort of cheap. And that was a very highly anticipated show

Any daydreams of HBO money should be nipped in the bud

I loved the Three Kingdoms tv show and enjoyed a few other historical epic type Chinese shows, but I’ve never seen any sci fi from there. Excited regardless, though it’ll be very weird not hearing Japanese from the characters.

Eva & Mittermeyer are the most pure couple in entire show, mirror of Cazelnu & Hortense who are second.

It's amazing seeing how much Liu Bei dick the novel sucks and I still come out thinking Cao Cao was the good guy. Except killing his uncle? randomly after fleeing the court early on. Also lol at the greatest tactician in Chinese history, Zhuge Liang, failing to invade the north five times.

Cao Cao was a good leader who was overly paranoid and had a bad fetish that nearly killed him on multiple occasions, it’s no wonder we love him nowadays.

I would argue that Oberstein remains one of the most compelling characters from the whole series.

I finally started a rewatch and Oberstein just showed up, and I was surprised at how pleased I was to see him. I also think he's one of the best-realized characters - I get the feeling he has read his Machiavelli better than anyone around him, both the lessons about ruthlessness in pursuit of your goals and the parts about virtue in politics.
