A poignant yet beautiful story about unacquainted love is truly timeless in a Shakespearan way, Alex Sharp totally nailed it with his subtle but stunning performance. Also really glad the writers moved Will's story from Book 3 to season 1 (Yun TianMing in the book), at least we know D&D are great at adapting when they actually want to adapt a story.
Ye Wenjie lost faith in humanity due to a series of betrayals and disappointments. In the Netflix adaptation, her mother and father were betrayed during the Cultural Revolution, the girl who killed her father showed no remorse, her lover exploited her, and Mike Evan never acknowledged Vera as his daughter until after her death. These betrayals left Ye Wenjie feeling abandoned and isolated. In the Tencent version, her mother and sister both turned her father in, and her superior at the Red Coast Base took credit for her work, leading to further disillusionment. This betrayal ultimately led to a confrontation where she was forced to kill her future husband and the father of her child. These experiences left her with no empathy for humanity.
Yes but irony is in the book it revealed that an alien who sent her the warning would have only dreamed to be on her place and alien's world 1000's more cruel that Chine in 60's because going through chaotic eras only the most totalitarian and cruel civilizations survided
Absolutely, this is the best episode of the entire season 1. Many people loved Episode 5. But I love Episode 6. This one is absolutely beautiful! The song by Lana Del Rey made the ending flying to heaven.
I read the whole trilogy and I have to admit it's really hard to adapt. Considering that, they did a really good job with it, the essence of the books is preserved, the changes make sorta sense. I'm quite content with the outcome. What's even more important, this will bring more people into the books.
This episode reinforces something the San-Ta said to Mike Evans earlier, that to survive a species must have fear. Humans were doomed because they forgot how to fear. But now that the San-Ti have taught humanity to fear again, humans are coming together to fight back, to survive. With out causing Humans to fear again, projects on the scale of the Stair Case project would be impossible. With out the fear of the looming alien invasion, the could never get countries to agree to change the international space treaties or to give up the nukes to make that project work. They would never be able to build the space fleet base on the moon. The San-Ti, if they loose this war with Humanity, they will lose because they made us fear. This proves that despite the immense superiority in technology the San-Ti have, they are capable of making mistakes. And to win, the Humans will have to take advantage of those mistakes.
as a long time fan of the books, and one who understands that some changes are ofc gonna happen in an adaptation into a tv show, i frikkin love this show. its done everything i ever wanted from an adaptation
"This is what they wanted to do, to cause mass panic." Yes, they literally said in the last episode that they were going to teach humans to fear again.
Some people needs to do the ugly stuff, as long as that someone isn't me. I wonder how D&D gonna discuss this in the next season, people better be disgusted, and feel bit shame of ourselves.
I mean...logically the shortest path between the Alpha Centauri system and Solar System is a straight line. And the sophons must know everything about the plan. So, the best bet is to set the probe on a straight path to the Alpha Centauri system and hope for the best. As for your second question, they simplified the staircase program for the TV. In the books, it is mentioned that each bomb has positioning thrusters attached to it for precise maneuvering in order the propel the probe on the right trajectory.
a lot of the story that people are missing from the books are in the mannerisms, mise en scene, and character dynamics. the fact certain things i realise in this show are also things that people are claiming is missing from the book is funny. do people not know how to watch film anymore? has visual analysis died?
The money the agency gets by "selling" the stars is going to fund the defense projects like the Stair Case project. He is, in a round-a-bout way giving the money to Jin.
Dude decided to suicide going into the water, so at that point forward, everything is fully meaningless to him, he only came back because of Jin, nothing else matter.
Bro, I'm back again. As a reader of the original work, although I'm not very satisfied with this series, I must admit that the portrayal of the cancer patient is quite well done. In the original work, this plotline only appears in the third part, but it does fit in the timeline at this stage. In the original work, the man was pursuing a very beautiful and kind woman who was single and had no boyfriend. The cancer patient was more introverted and shy. His life was very lonely, and no one had ever shown him genuine love. Before his death, he came into a large sum of money, but his illness was incurable. It was only then that he decided to purchase a star and give it to the woman. This episode portrayed his sense of despair quite effectively. As for the idea of sending someone into space to meet the fleet of Trisolarans, it was actually discussed for a long time. Moreover, someone with Cheng Jin's status originally wouldn't have had the qualification to speak, but her plan impressed the experts present, and Wade spared no effort in pushing forward with the plan. This setup becomes very important in the subsequent plot.
This episode is the weakest of the series. A pause to examine the human side of the story, that is a bit of a snooze-fest. The series really should have been expanded to only cover book 1 in 8 episodes because episode 5 is the end of book 1 and to do that it was too rushed. Even just one more episode worth of time before episode 5 could have expanded on a few scenes, and in particular spent more time in the VR game. they didn't explore the trisolaran world enough through the game to make it believable as a recruitment tool. They left out so much that it almost makes the game pointless in this series. And a lost opportunity for some more epic visuals too.
I agree that they show is rushed and that they should have made the 1st book in 8 episodes ! But as a book reader, I loved this episode soooo much ! It foreshadows so much ! And Will is the most fascinating character / actor in the cast. His story is heartbreaking and way more compelling than Tianming's story in the books.
When it comes to hard sci fi with great characterizations, I think season 1 Westworld probably did it best. It’s not like ensemble actors on 3 Body are terrible but they can’t hold a candle to Sir Anthony, Jeffrey Wright, Ed Harris, Thandie Newton or even Evan Rachel Wood. 3 Body’s characterizations are uneven and a bit simplistic.
He is not donating. He is doing something else. Which is even more heartbreaking

Also really glad the writers moved Will's story from Book 3 to season 1 (Yun TianMing in the book), at least we know D&D are great at adapting when they actually want to adapt a story.
Buying a star to express his love, this is the most romantic thing ever
That Lana Del Rey song at the end kills me.
Nice to see that that final scene reduces folks to tears even when they don't have the context to know all the ramifications of that decision 😭
The actor's really nailing it man 😖🔥
@@AUniqueNameand lana’s song did it for me.

Oh gosh that last scene and the music really hit me with the feels... yep I was crying at the end, but I really felt for Will.

Absolutely LOVING these reactions 🤧 definitely subscribing now
Thank you so much - really appreciate the support ❤️

If you’ve read the books, you know why, what, how he is doing this is the most romantic gesture.
So cute you trying not to cry 😢❤
They really put their foot on the gas with this and subsequent episodes. New sub here, great stuff.
Thank you so much 😁
Books made me a little bit more sympathetic towards Ye Wenjie than the show knowing what she had been through... It's more brutal in the books...

Im here to buy a star
Yes bro, the same with you.I also cried when end of this episode. When they play the song vedio game.
as a long time fan of the books, and one who understands that some changes are ofc gonna happen in an adaptation into a tv show, i frikkin love this show.
its done everything i ever wanted from an adaptation
I like to much see your reactions keep doing bro
Thanks so much ❤️
Lol, you might have good beaches, but Auggie is comparing against Mexican beaches, so, you can't argue there.
I love your reaction videos, btw. =)
Okay fair point 😊 Yay glad you enjoy them
I really love the origami boat soundtrack
Seems like one of those “beginnings to Star Trek” types of things.
"This is what they wanted to do, to cause mass panic." Yes, they literally said in the last episode that they were going to teach humans to fear again.
Auggie is basically Oppenheimer
Yay new reaction. Subbing.
Thank you so much ❤️
@@TheNerdyverse-DannyReacts do the entire show. :)

Auggie has a bad case of PTSD. completely understandable. She needs professional help
Do human know where the trisolarian ships are? How r they confidence the bomb will propel them towards the santi ships or away
Good shout haha

Wish Will come back...don’t know how but SOMEHOW
I suddenly realize you look just like my husband😌
Wait what? 👀
So you are now my fifth online husband, and you have no right to refuse😈🥵
🤣🤣
Danny i broke same as you lad.
It was tough to take 😥
That thumbnail my guy... Where was the missus in all of this?
What you mean?
@@TheNerdyverse-DannyReacts you look like your are getting a blowy and are really enjoying it 😅
I dont get it. So he is wasting all that money on.. what exactly and why
Buy the stars is just a excuse to donate money to the war effort. In a point he is of this rich guys backing Wade.
The money the agency gets by "selling" the stars is going to fund the defense projects like the Stair Case project. He is, in a round-a-bout way giving the money to Jin.
Dude decided to suicide going into the water, so at that point forward, everything is fully meaningless to him, he only came back because of Jin, nothing else matter.

ISNT THIS A SPOILER??????
@@tsarbombawithinternetconne875 I just said this is important, I didn’t leak the story itself.
@@chungwayne1624 alr srry just freaked out
auggie must be the most annoying character in this series.
She's the only one with a moral backbone. Everyone else just f*cking fascists
Tell us you can't recognize trauma when you see it. The character is great, and the Actress portrayal is phenomenal.
