  1. Like many works of fiction, the DC Universe uses analogs of "real-world" places, names from other works (often altered) and the whims of creators (and editors). Sometimes these things are just coincidental or fortuitous.

    The Legion of Superheroes is ... *hmm* ... in a class of its own when it comes to a lot of its themes. I did not know that the solar system of the planet Cargg had three suns till I read this wiki entry.

    "Zapatistas"

    Location:
    Historical Mexico, Earth (late C19th & early C20th) and Jupiter penumbra orbit, Earth Solar System (mid C24th)

    Teams:
    Emiliano Zapata & Zapatistas (Mexican Revolutionary Force) and Thomas Wade (Halo City "City self-defense force")

    Comparison:

    Zapatistas
    Zapatistas armed with conventional weaponry of the time; rifles, explosives, using military and insurgency & counter-insurgency tactics.

    Halo City "City self-defense force"
    (General clothing black but with Zapatista style bandoliers holding bullet cartridges.)
    Wade: “As I said, the cartridges are basically of ancient design, but the bullets are new. So new, in fact, that they might as well come from the future. The bullet is a superconducting container and the interior is a pure vacuum. A magnetic field suspends a small ball in the middle to prevent it from contacting the bullet’s body. The ball is made of antimatter.”

    Location:
    Alpha Centauri, Proxima Centauri

    Teams:
    Centauri Imperial Telepaths vs the San-Ti Sophons

    Abilities/Powers:

    Sophons relay real-time information faster than light due to (*sigh*) Quantum Entanglement yet have the ability to be really annoying making you behave (intellectually) like a person afraid of a teeny tiny wasp so you get no work done.

    Telepaths are DistractinglySexy but can only convey real-time information between the Emperor's present location and the Imperial Court on the homeworld by perfectly ordinary bog-standard faster-than light psychic ability.

    (both come in groups of four but travel in twos)

  13. Für mich ein Plothole von #Trisolaris / #DieDreiSonnen / #3BodyProblem: Warum haben die Sophonen nicht einfach dafür gesorgt, dass die Menschheit sich gegenseitig bekämpft? Wenn sie Wissenschaftler zum Einstellen der Forschung und zum Selbstmord treiben können, können sie auch Staatschefs zur Kriegserklärung treiben.
    Zack, wäre bei Ankunft in 400 Jahren nur noch wenig zu tun.

  17. Und die graduelle Enttäuschung führt dazu, daß ich nicht mehr auf die zweite Staffel der amerikansichen Produktion warte, aber der chinesichen Version eine Chance gebe.

  18. Wenn Du durch Augsburg gehst und gerade „3 Body Problem“ auf Netflix schaust und dabei auf den König von Augsburg triffst, der gerade Zahlen am Boden malt…

  20. Wokay la série Netflix du Problème à Trois Corps qui dans le premier épisode avance l'histoire de l'équivalent d'une dizaine de ceux de la série chinoise.

    Ce qui peut être logique si la saison 1 est aussi l'équivalent du premier tome du livre, soit 8 épisodes contre 30 pour la série chinoise...

  21. My latest blog post. It's been over three months since I last posted. I've been busy; the blog has been neglected. It's about Three Body Problem, both the books and the Netflix series. I haven't seen anyone else say what I say here, at least some of it. I think it will be of interest to many of you. Enjoy!

  22. My #3body problem.
    Well, not Three Body Problem specifically, it crops up regularly in sci fi works.
    At one point, as supposedly highly advanced intelligence refers to "the three dimensions in which we live."
    Except we don't. Spacetime is four dimensions. Or at least, we can perceive four.

  23. Well, having binged #ThreeBodyProblem after watching Tencent's #3body adaptation (the Netflix one is much better), now I turn to James #Clavell's #*Shōgun. *Starting the novel while I torrent the 1980 NBC adaptation with Richard Chamberlin (it won 3 Emmys!).

    Is it just me or have the quality of old show #torrents gone up dramatically of late? I actually found a torrent of the only season of #NBC's 1982 series Voyagers! (which was a big favourite of 7 yr old me): en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voyagers!

  24. The #3Body Problem novels suffer the time jump problem to a lesser degree; book 2 The Dark Forest is a separate cast set some time after book 1. #Netflix's #ThreeBodyProblem I felt adapted to the time jump and mitigated the cast change in a novel way; it also explains why the few pivotal characters in book1 were surrounded by all these other characters; their roles come into play for book 2.

  25. @tezoatlipoca cannot 💯 your review hard enough.

    I only had the intellectual capacity to sort-of climb through and mostly understand book 1. Excited to grok more through the series, while being absolutely gobsmacked by the acting and visuals. ✨

  26. Watched the first episode of western produced #3body problem. Littered with Kiwi influences and speed running the first 10 episodes of the PRC produced series released last year. Very much enjoyable vs the Slog that was the PRC 3 Body production #scifi #tv

  27. Aaand its bedtime. Just binged e1-5 of #Netflix's #3body #ThreeBodyProblem. Quite excellent. No spoilers but:

    - waay better screenwriting than the Tencent adaptation
    - teeny bit less faithful to the book
    - location shift to the UK doesn't really affect much
    - does a better job at the time jumps
    - moves a LOT brisker
    - trimmed out some stuff that I don't find are missed
    - the hard concepts are explained really well
    - the cool bits are HECKA GOOD (yay Netflix budget)
    - casting is *excellent*.

  28. I'm currently plowing my way through #tencent production #3body, #threebody , the Chinese adaptation of Liu Cixin's #Hugo winning #ThreeBodyProblem , the 1st novel in the Remembrance of Earth's Past #scifi trilogy.

    (supposedly its on #PrimeVideo , but not in Canada so I had to #torrent it)

    Its a 30 part miniseries, I'm on episode 5 and I'm hooked. It has a few pedantic parts (they really want you to catch a few key tidbits), but overall its amazingly faithful to the book and looks great.

  29. Totally drawn in to #3Body - the Chinese dramatisation of #ThreeBodyProblem available in full for free on YouTube! It's been a while since I read the book and it feels like it deviates a bit from the original (which would have been impossible to make cohesive). But to be fair I'm only half way through and the really mad stuff hasn't started yet! Just about to get to 'The Game'. But huge thanks to @KateOfMind for letting me know about it. I also like Wang and am warming to Da Shi, despite him not being at all as I imagined.

    Super looking forward to the Netflix adaptation, although I can see a lot of pausing and explaining going on, as my daughter wants to watch it and she wasn't able to keep up with Oceans 11, so I don't know how the relative concepts of physics are going to land...

  30. @alisca There are some aspects of the book that aren't great, but there are also some things that I really like (humans never see Trisolarans). I hope that they don't tamper with that aspect.

    I also think the countdown clock on people's vision looks a little overdone. The book seems to describe this as a subtle but inescapable distraction. The trailer makes it look like it's vision-destroying.

    I'll certainly wait and see before really coming to a conclusion. #3body
