So, I read the three "Three Body Problem" books (there's probably a word for three consecutive linked works of art ... Matrix Resurrections).

The last book is definitely the best for story and storytelling (and the translator deserves an honourable mention (but I won't)).

However, I'm going to recommend that if you are not sure that it's worth reading any of them then you should read the very last part of the third book "Death's End". It's short-story-essay length. Doing that won't spoil your enjoyment of the series but it may even make you smile.

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.

If the Tri-Solarans realized the #Sophons would be much more effective if they created a #socialmedia with an algorithm that made people anti-intellectual, anti-science, racist, and bigotted, they....

Just finished the Chinese "#ThreeBody" series. In some ways it had better depictions than the Netflix version, but wow, the pacing is glacial. Also, the start and end credits are, like, 15 minutes of each 45 minute episode.

@TheSpaceshipper

I really like it and can't wait for season 2. Season 1 was 30 episodes and basically all of Book one. While I did like the Netflix series, I liked this version much more.

They're playing a game called "3 body" and it doesn't occur to any of the astrophysicists that they're dealing with the 3 body problem? #ThreeBody

I’m on episode 27 of Three-Body (the Tencent version from China). I loved the book and this series is insanely good.

I hope they produce a series for the other two books.

#ThreeBody #ThreeBodyProblem #三体

I'm only on episode 2 of Three Body and it is so much better, by leaps and bounds, than the Netflix adaptation. If you read the books, I mean, which I did but it's been a few years so I didn't really focus on the books while watching Netflix's version.

If you like SciFi and are interested in Chinese authors beyond Liu Cixin check out Hao Jingfang.

Also the collection of Chinese SF short stories translated by Ken Liu - “Invisible Planets”

The #Netflix drama's depiction of China is, well, problematic. How did the people of China react to it? In this issue I highlight what Chinese viewers think about the 3 Body Problem.

Ce que je craignais se produit : on est en plein dans la version américaine de l'histoire, centrée sur une galerie de personnages, qui ont tous été travaillés avec un soin sans doute méticuleux.

La série chinoise, avec ses défauts, reprenait l'essence du livre : l'étrangeté puis le vertige. La science et la technique, et non les scientifiques et les techniciens. La philosophie, les dilemmes, et non les sentiments.

#ThreeBody

To be clear, it's not that I didn't like #ThreeBody #Netflix because it has been "Westernised" or even that major Chinese characters have been replaced.
To me it's crime was dumbing down almost everything and reducing Ye Wenjie's character to a religious fanatic ☠️.
And yea, I more or less expected the Cultural Revolution to depicted in the most shock value way ever, but to my surprise it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be.

Watching #Netflix #ThreeBody.

Welp.

China's Tencent version is still far superior.

The Netflix version whacks you over the head and yells, "Do you get it?? Do you get it??"

Tencent's version was poetic compared to Netflix's.

There's little nuance, gravitas, depth. Ye Wenjie's character was butchered beyond repair 🥴☠️

That's the most unforgiveable of all.

#SciFi

The reaction on Chinese social media to Netflix's adaptation of "The Three-Body Problem" has been mixed, but Vox's Aja Romano argues that depictions of nationalistic outrage are probably exaggerations. She unpacks the response to this adaptation, the book trilogy, and Tencent's "Three Body," and says this time around, the problem is Netflix, not Chinese viewers.

episode 2/30... this is going to take a while. the audio is not that great, because it's pirated, so its down to paying attention by reading the subtitles.

#ThreeBody #kopitiam #singlish #singapore

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...

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!

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.

1/

My beautiful man - Japanese and Three Body Problem - Chinese, make me want to make my own fan translations, because when I read what the translations say, I feel they are missing things.

In #mybeautifulman it is because one of the main characters uses derogatory words sometimes in an affectionate way, and some of the translations are jarring.

In #threeBody, it is because there are some words that have greater connotation, like whenever they say the word "comrade", and I want to understand.

Can happily report that by now the FIRST TEN EPISODES (of 30) of the Chinese SF sensation #ThreeBody / #TheThreeBodyProblem / #DieDreiSonnen can be watched FOR FREE at https://wetv.vip/en/play/h31rop8wfso9jnh-Three-Body ... several epic story arcs are emerging but also tons of fascinating details on the side, like radio interference issues in #astronomy. And ... #lightpollution as a serious environmental problem.

Awesome series!

(note: This is the Tencent TV adaptation (2023). Netflix's adaptation is set to premiere later in 2023.)

If you are familiar with physics, astronomy, mathematics, theories, you will recognise a lot of stuff used in this show. I'm not sure about the novel, so I'm only referring to the show.

* Some were asked before.
* Some are still being debated.
* Some still being proven.
* Some already possible mathematically.
* Some observed in real life.

The philosophical questions are also relevant, and many have been asked before, and many were recently asked.

I can't believe they were able to combine these different school of thoughts into one cohesive story. I haven't seen a story like this before. Usually, sci-fi authors would only focus, at most, 5 to keep it simpler for the audience, but in this show, it's out-of-this-world.

---

The animation part was also great. They combined two types of art, and that was amazing. Also, some would probably critic how the movement of the animated characters are not fluid, but that's the whole point, it was intentional. It captured the 'game feel'.

Overall, from episodes 1 to 16, each episode felt like watching a 45-minute movie. They spent a lot. It wasn't half-baked. They were consistent in quality every episode.

Highly recommended!

Happy to report that by now the FIRST FIVE EPISODES of the Chinese SF drama #ThreeBody / #TheThreeBodyProblem / #DieDreiSonnen can be watched FOR FREE at https://wetv.vip/en/play/h31rop8wfso9jnh-Three-Body/ - and boy, does episode five suddenly get #astronomical, hardcore! (But what's the bigger mystery: what happens at the end of the countdown ... or will #WeTV discontinue making new episodes freely available every few days eventually? :-)

Hey, just found out that the FIRST THREE episodes of #ThreeBody / #TheThreeBodyProblem / #DieDreiSonnen can be watched for free at https://wetv.vip/en/play/h31rop8wfso9jnh-Three-Body/ - only a few minutes into the fourth one payment is requested. So one tenth of the 30-episodes show is out there: told very slowly, so if you don't know the books you'd still have no clue at this point what's actually going on ... ;-)

The Chinese #TV adaptation of the #sciencefiction sensation #ThreeBody - or #TheThreeBodyProblem or #DieDreiSonnen - just had its premiere: https://english.news.cn/20230116/f49a81598e12490b9019221653c2da70/c.html and https://www.xataka.com/cine-y-tv/no-se-sabe-cuando-llegara-problema-tres-cuerpos-a-netflix-puedes-ver-gratis-youtube-version-china.
