Re: 3 Body Problem [Sci-Fi, Fantasy] (January 2024)
Just finished this. First 4 episodes were excellent, then they took the foot off the gas. As it progressed from there, it became clear that there would be no resolution this series!
I think the characters have all been pretty good, Auggie is perfectly watchable in her underthings
However, I don't understand why they are sending a 'human' towards the aliens. I don't understand how a nuclear bomb can accelerate a 'sail', attached to something in tow, the 'wires' and capsule which must also be capable of withstanding said nuclear explosion...300 times). That idea was a non-starter. I can tell you that from watching every single episode of TNG recently.
I also don't understand why if they want to take someone out, they don't just bounce one of those proton thingy's around inside someone's brain to mash it up.
Why don't they create a huge electromagnet to trap the proton thingy, or creat a powerful negative electric charge, using Liam Cunningham as bait. So many questions...
It's all been reasonably well done though, shame to lose 'Jack Rooney' so early, but at least the lovely Rosalind Chao (Keiko O'Brian from TNG ) made it to the last ep.
Were Brad Pitt and Rosamunde Pike really involved in this? Ah, just read it's their respective production companies.
Interesting series, hope it's renewed.
