The Three-Body Problem S1 E15: “Eternal Bonfire”

I enjoyed the series w/ caveats, but I can see why some people don’t like this. Turning Luo Ji into a romantic action hero is the antithesis of his character in the book …

The Three-Body Problem S1 E14: “Crushing Collapse”

The space station/ball lightning disaster sequence is getting excessively drawn out. Everything goes wrong at every stage!

The Three-Body Problem S1 E13: “Cosmic Flicker”

The Planetary Defense Council plans a rescue attempt to get Luo Ji & the other survivors out of the ball lightning before its quantum weirdness spreads to Earth.

The Three-Body Problem S1 E12: “Fundamental Scenario”

There’s a lot of seriously convoluted technobabble in this ep. It’s gone into some Star Trek shit.

Makes for some decent action sequences, but overall feels very silly.

The Three-Body Problem S1 E11: “The Tomb of Brown Ants”

The ball lightning disaster sets earth defense back decades.

The Three-Body Problem S1 E10: “The Death of Firefly”

Apparently Tyler’s ball lightning plan comes from the original Chinese version of the book. It was changed for the English translation b/c Ball Lightning hadn’t been translated yet!

The Three-Body Problem S1 E9: “Cosmic Fairy Tale”

Ohhh a train to space! That’s a pretty 🆒 take on a space elevator.

The Three-Body Problem S1 E8: “Utmost Attention”

Ray Diaz wants super nukes & Tyler wants ball lightning “macroelectrons.” Now I have ti read Ball Lightning to get what this is all about!

I forgot about Ray’s solar-phobia.

The Three-Body Problem S1 E7: “Her Eyes in the Sunset”

Yup, pretty cringe! Bring me a beautiful, unchallenging fembot! Yikes.

Tyler’s ball lightning experiment seems weird & neat. I don’t remember it from the books but it’s been a while since I read them.

The Three-Body Problem S1 E6: “Gentle Combination”

Ah yes, the “find me a wife” ep, the cringiest part of the books.

Followed by the first sighting of the Trisolaran invasion fleet’s interstellar dust wake, which is pretty 🆒.

The Three-Body Problem S1 E5: “Laughter to the Wall-facers”

The Wallbreakers VR torture initiation scene is super weird.

Planetary Defense Council Chairwoman Say is pretty badass. I do like the calm confidence.

The Three-Body Problem S1 E4: “Within the Cone of Light”

The upbeat Hawaiian music playing during the sniper assassination attempt is CRAZY 😂

#scifi #3body #animation #bilibili

The Three-Body Problem S1 E3: “Verne Island”

That’s a 🆒 🆕 set piece, an entire high-tech island devoted to the Planetary Defense Council & the space elevator.

Decent music for the series too.

Oh no, another assassin lying in wait!

#scifi #3body #animation #bilibili

The Three-Body Problem S1 E2: “Distant Shooter”

The space station computer overclocking opening scene is deeply silly. I was entertained.

The assassination attempts on Luo Ji in this are significantly more dramatic & action-packed!

The Three-Body Problem S1 E1: “The Tower of Meaning”

I’ve heard mixed reactions to this CGI animated version on Bilibili. From ep 1 it seems alright!

This ep has a quick recap of the end of book 1 & then starts in on the plot of book 2, The Dark Forest…
