    only two months ago I watched the ~30 episode version, even though I skipped through between episode 18 and 25 because it was dragging on, I did not expect that you could compress all the boring bits from 30 episodes in a show in the length of 8 episodes... The Netflix adaption is so stale that my eyes at times wanted to roll back into my head not having to endure these characters. I mean not all characters in the 30 episode Chinese version get the good writing, especially the detective but in the end and in the flashbacks and game scenes, I was at least experiencing the kind of dread you'd expect from story with this kind of existential threat and scope!

    • @anchorlightforge
      @anchorlightforge 6 месяцев назад +6

      The Tencent version suffers from the usual suspects of regional programming (though much less than its peers) and it punches really hard above its weight. It's frustrating because it feels like we're simply incapable of getting a good adaptation of this book due to its subject matter, dense subject matter and slow-burn pace. If American producers refuse to see the value in the show due to outside political drama, it's hopeless. There's some things I can even agree are interesting ideas for an adaptation but the complete removal of all mystery and all actual discussion of theory is unforgivable. It had to air on CCTV which was a blessing for its budget but a burden for the padded runtimes, heavier censoring and other typical Cdrama problems.
      I don't think it quite replaces the book, but I adore the attention to detail and what they did to get the book to screen. I found the cinematography striking and I admire how hard they leaned into the slow-burn existential dread as this poor scientist gets gaslit by the universe itself. There's more possibility for other adaptations of the Dark Forest and Death's End and maybe they'll be decent, but none of the books captured my attention like TBP due to its historical fiction background and its exploration of generational trauma, and it feels like it'll be forever lost when it comes to screen.
      That version did get a director's cut that cuts down the series to 26 episodes with slightly lesser censorship, I've heard good things about it so far.

    I had watched it because a reviewer who talked about the novel it's based on said it was good, but I felt like the beginning was too slow and "mystery box" like and then the ending felt extremely rushed. A lot things happened that made me question why. I also have to wonder how the fact that the Trisolarans don't lie never came up before it did, and how this whole thing works if they can't lie. They know what hiding is, and can comprehend the existence of lies, but somehow they are unable to lie even to the humans? Thinking you know something but not knowing it's false can happen, too, so it's weird that they could never comprehend how to take advantage of that.

Episodes 6-8 were the beginning chapters of the next 2 books, since they have overlapping plots. Episode 8 ended with The Wallfacer Project being announced.

    The real "Three Body Problem" is a topic that intelligence agencies seek to bury in search results through the usual means. Holywood plays it's part in burying all discussion of a coming catastrophic event. This is a common method of getting ahead of a story, hijacking all mention of a topic and flooding search results with a "nothing burger deluxe" TV series.
    In cosmology, it refers to the unpredictable nature or orbital mechanics when a third variable is introduced.. It's that old butterfly effect, double pendulum thingy where a sneeze over here leads to Apophis over there.

      @@aheroforfun6401 Sooooooo there actually is a 26 episode cut that came out a week ago (called the "Anniversary Edition"). You know, for *unrelated* timing reasons.
      And yeah, the truth about CDramas is they're subject to a bit of a market struggle for funding. Padded runtimes are very common due to production problems-- your angel investor may demand a cameo role you have to accommodate, your show's value is based on commercial break time meaning more episodes means a better budget, and content laws are extremely tight (hence why the show is missing Ye Zhetai, said scenes were filmed but couldn't clear ratings). So it's a balance of the vision and the checkbook, as always. There's so much working against the Tencent version and I'm utterly shocked by how brilliant its cinematography, score, and its transferral of the actual book concepts to screen were. It's one of the most faithful screen adaptations I've seen in my life and I love it despite its flaws.

    If I would take a guess, Benioff & Weiss aren't that good in writing original content. We saw that with GoT:s final season when they had to end it without a GRRM book to work with.
    Now they are creating a show, based on books where the characters are just afterthoughts, so they had to themselves flesh the characters out into something. What they are terrible at
    Don't remember what their names were, they are there just to have that one part of the story(except that obnoxious comic relief who just dies).
    But still, there's also not that many series like this now and the main story interests me. Especially since they canned Peripheral only after one season.
