3 Body Problem Review | Netflix

1
00:00:00,600 --> 00:00:02,440
Hey, I'm Derek.
And I'm Noah.

2
00:00:02,440 --> 00:00:05,240
You're listening to a Bite of.
Where we take our current

3
00:00:05,240 --> 00:00:08,920
favorite pop culture obsession
and enjoy it 1 Nibble at a time.

4
00:00:09,160 --> 00:00:11,840
Or maybe 3 nibbles, depending on
your fancy.

5
00:00:15,600 --> 00:00:19,360
That's a lot of nibbles.
Yeah, all right.

6
00:00:19,360 --> 00:00:24,000
Hello, Fellow Bugs 3 Body
Problem Review time.

7
00:00:24,600 --> 00:00:25,640
Oh man.
Heart sci-fi.

8
00:00:26,320 --> 00:00:29,920
We've been doing these like
major bites recently.

9
00:00:30,160 --> 00:00:32,560
It's a lot to process.
It's a lot to process, like

10
00:00:32,560 --> 00:00:36,040
taking a whole series and
figuring out how to review it

11
00:00:36,040 --> 00:00:38,000
and talk about it in one
episode.

12
00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:39,240
But it's fun, right?
It.

13
00:00:39,240 --> 00:00:42,720
I think it really gets to the
nitty gritty of how we feel

14
00:00:42,720 --> 00:00:44,400
about something.
I think it's a little bit of a

15
00:00:44,400 --> 00:00:46,920
challenge.
We're going to rise to it.

16
00:00:48,480 --> 00:00:51,720
Speaking of rising to the
challenge, before we get into

17
00:00:51,720 --> 00:00:54,240
everything, you know the typical
If you're watching this on

18
00:00:54,240 --> 00:00:56,040
YouTube, listen to this on the
podcast.

19
00:00:56,040 --> 00:00:58,880
Make sure you're, you know,
doing those things that let us

20
00:00:58,880 --> 00:01:02,640
know that you are out there.
Let us know that you received

21
00:01:02,640 --> 00:01:07,360
our communication like
subscribe, send some stars our

22
00:01:07,360 --> 00:01:09,120
way.
We're still on the our way to

23
00:01:09,120 --> 00:01:11,560
200 reviews.
So do that if you like that.

24
00:01:12,480 --> 00:01:14,200
Yeah, that's all I'm going to
say on that Patreon.

25
00:01:14,680 --> 00:01:19,040
We have that like the show
support the show 3 body problem.

26
00:01:20,160 --> 00:01:23,760
So now the Three Body Problem
was, as we all know, based on a

27
00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:26,600
book series.
Noah has read The book I have

28
00:01:26,600 --> 00:01:27,840
not.
So Noah's going to give us a

29
00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:30,800
little bit of an intro.
Yeah, I would say so.

30
00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:34,840
I mean, spoilers I had, yeah,
not for necessarily the book

31
00:01:34,840 --> 00:01:36,320
series.
So this is going to be

32
00:01:36,320 --> 00:01:38,800
interesting because I have read
the first book, I'm in the

33
00:01:38,800 --> 00:01:41,120
middle of the second book.
It's that good.

34
00:01:41,960 --> 00:01:43,520
And Derek hasn't.
So this is going to be an

35
00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:46,600
interesting conversation to
somebody that hasn't read the

36
00:01:46,600 --> 00:01:49,480
book, what they think and
somebody that has and also let

37
00:01:49,480 --> 00:01:50,720
us know, you know, make sure you
like.

38
00:01:50,720 --> 00:01:53,160
Comment below, leave review.
Did you read the book?

39
00:01:53,320 --> 00:01:54,800
Yeah.
Have you read the whole series?

40
00:01:55,560 --> 00:01:57,320
That's true.
That's something interesting.

41
00:01:57,800 --> 00:02:00,320
I'm on my way.
I'm trying to make my way to the

42
00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:01,560
whole series.
All right.

43
00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:05,480
So the book SO3 Body Problem is
part of the Remembrance of

44
00:02:05,480 --> 00:02:11,240
Earth's Past trilogy written by
Shu Shu Liu, and it was

45
00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:15,880
originally serialized for
Science fiction in 2006 before

46
00:02:15,880 --> 00:02:18,160
it was published as Stand Alone
Book in 2008.

47
00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:21,200
So that's really cool that it
was serialized in this way.

48
00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:24,160
And actually makes me think like
that kind of would have been

49
00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:26,760
cool to read it that way.
Like you only get snippets of it

50
00:02:26,760 --> 00:02:29,640
as you're going.
A lot of sci-fi actually starts

51
00:02:29,640 --> 00:02:33,240
out that way because awesome.
In 2006, it received the Galaxy

52
00:02:33,240 --> 00:02:35,120
Award in Chinese Science
Fiction.

53
00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:38,640
So it's important to note that
this book was originally written

54
00:02:38,640 --> 00:02:44,680
in Chinese, which is awesome,
because getting a hard this is,

55
00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:49,760
I'm going to say this is hard.
Science fiction from a different

56
00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:53,120
perspective is always fun.
That was one of the things that

57
00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:55,920
actually drew me to this.
I had this book on my TBR for a

58
00:02:55,920 --> 00:02:58,560
while and I was like, oh, the
series is coming out.

59
00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:00,920
This is the perfect time.
Like I have to read it now.

60
00:03:00,920 --> 00:03:04,840
So in 2014, Tour Books picked it
up and it got an English

61
00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:07,800
translation and later got a Hugo
award for it.

62
00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:10,760
That's pretty freaking awesome.
High praise both in China and

63
00:03:10,760 --> 00:03:12,120
here.
That's really cool.

64
00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:15,240
It took a little bit for it to
get there, but it kind of tells

65
00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:19,720
you the extent of the series.
By 2015, a Chinese film

66
00:03:19,720 --> 00:03:22,680
adaptation of the same name went
into production.

67
00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:25,360
Chinese TV series, which came
out last year.

68
00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:28,040
Three Body Problem and then now
a Netflix series.

69
00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:31,920
So it's been on a wild ride, but
it's finally here.

70
00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:36,960
I would be interested to see the
Chinese series to see how if

71
00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:40,360
they stuck closely to the book.
It's more of a one to one

72
00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:42,920
adaptation.
It's like 30 episodes.

73
00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:44,760
I actually really want to watch
it.

74
00:03:44,760 --> 00:03:49,400
Just to see 30, yeah.
And just to see like how the one

75
00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:52,560
to one translation does.
And also it's from, you know,

76
00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:56,360
the same people.
So the one thing of note that I

77
00:03:56,360 --> 00:04:01,040
do want to say is in the
original Chinese book, the parts

78
00:04:01,040 --> 00:04:03,120
in the beginning, remember we
said spoilers, right?

79
00:04:03,640 --> 00:04:06,760
That takes place in the Cultural
Revolution was actually pushed

80
00:04:06,760 --> 00:04:10,680
into the middle of the book,
even though the author initially

81
00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:14,480
intended it to be the opener.
But because of censorship, they

82
00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:16,839
don't want to get censored.
So they pushed it further in the

83
00:04:16,839 --> 00:04:19,760
book, But then when it was
translated into English, they

84
00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:21,800
moved it to where it should be.
Oh wow.

85
00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:24,760
And the author himself is like
those bilingual readers.

86
00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:28,240
I suggest reading this one
because that's how he intended.

87
00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:30,720
Yeah, so fun little fun little
snippet.

88
00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:34,440
Yeah, that's really interesting.
All right.

89
00:04:34,440 --> 00:04:36,240
So should we get into it?
So.

90
00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:38,920
That was a Little Little Book
Club, Little Book Club Corner.

91
00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:41,840
You know we love our books here.
I love a little book nook come

92
00:04:41,840 --> 00:04:43,640
together, talk about some books.
We love books.

93
00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:48,520
All right, so let us officially
take a bite of Netflix's Three

94
00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:53,400
Body Problem, created by David
Benioff, DB Weiss, and Alexander

95
00:04:53,400 --> 00:04:56,600
Wu.
Yay Wing Jay becomes part of a

96
00:04:56,600 --> 00:05:00,640
secret team in 1960s China that
is trying to communicate with

97
00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:04,640
beings from another universe.
She makes contact and invites

98
00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:07,600
them to Earth.
In the present, mysterious

99
00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:11,160
occurrences begin happening to a
group of five Oxford educated

100
00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:13,560
scientists known as the Oxford
5.

101
00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:16,760
Would have known.
After one of their mentors takes

102
00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:20,160
their own life, it is revealed
the alien race known as the

103
00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:24,680
Santee have followers on Earth
and will arrive in 400 years.

104
00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:29,120
Panic ensues and a plan is
created to infiltrate the Santee

105
00:05:29,120 --> 00:05:32,840
before their impending invasion.
All right.

106
00:05:32,840 --> 00:05:35,400
Well, I mean, that lays the
groundwork for the series.

107
00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:40,760
But there's so much that goes
into this show, rightfully so.

108
00:05:40,760 --> 00:05:44,960
I think a lot of fans of the
book were kind of like nervous

109
00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:49,080
for it because I feel like there
are some, yeah, I would say like

110
00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:52,520
maybe 10 years ago or even a
little less than that.

111
00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:56,840
But like some books you're like,
this can't be made for screen,

112
00:05:56,840 --> 00:05:57,880
right?
Like, how are you going to do

113
00:05:57,880 --> 00:06:01,160
that without completely losing a
lot of it?

114
00:06:01,840 --> 00:06:06,920
But as you said, the Beatle that
made it so DB wise and Dem Ben

115
00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:11,400
and off to Game of Thrones.
So I'm pretty good last.

116
00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:14,680
Season aside, last two seasons
aside, when they have source

117
00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:16,520
material, they know what they're
doing.

118
00:06:16,520 --> 00:06:20,960
That's a good point.
So I was, I was very sceptical,

119
00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:23,320
but I I trust the process right
and.

120
00:06:23,320 --> 00:06:25,280
I do know that.
I mean, I don't know how

121
00:06:25,280 --> 00:06:28,200
involved, but I do know that the
author did sort of give them the

122
00:06:28,200 --> 00:06:31,000
OK to do this.
So it wasn't like they just took

123
00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:33,480
something and ran with it.
They got his input as well,

124
00:06:33,480 --> 00:06:36,840
yeah.
They had the the author did sign

125
00:06:36,840 --> 00:06:40,400
off on a lot of it, and they
wanted to take it out of China

126
00:06:40,480 --> 00:06:44,400
and do more of like an
international cast, just to

127
00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:47,920
wider appeal and to bring
different perspectives into it.

128
00:06:47,920 --> 00:06:50,280
And the author himself was like,
yeah, sure, OK, that's cool.

129
00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:53,240
Well, one of the major changes
that at least I know of is that

130
00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:56,440
these five characters don't
necessarily exist in the book.

131
00:06:56,440 --> 00:06:59,240
It's really one main character
that's following the through

132
00:06:59,240 --> 00:07:01,120
line.
No and yes.

133
00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:04,080
There are some like series
specifically made characters.

134
00:07:04,080 --> 00:07:06,640
All of these characters have
different names than the book,

135
00:07:07,240 --> 00:07:11,280
but they're they are characters
pulled from the third, the

136
00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:16,200
second book, and moved forward.
One of the critiques that I felt

137
00:07:16,240 --> 00:07:19,440
and that I feel like quite a few
people share with the first book

138
00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:22,400
is that it's like it's a
prologue almost to the rest of

139
00:07:22,400 --> 00:07:25,840
the series.
And reading the first book,

140
00:07:26,200 --> 00:07:29,320
it's, you know, sometimes you
want that, like emotional

141
00:07:29,320 --> 00:07:32,200
connection or like that
character concept and stuff like

142
00:07:32,200 --> 00:07:33,760
that.
And the book isn't that.

143
00:07:34,200 --> 00:07:36,360
And I think it's by design that
it's not that way.

144
00:07:37,240 --> 00:07:41,040
But you kind of miss that.
So when adapting it to TV, they

145
00:07:41,040 --> 00:07:43,600
kind of added that they gave
them stories.

146
00:07:43,600 --> 00:07:45,760
They have them know each other.
So you have that.

147
00:07:46,080 --> 00:07:49,760
And so Speaking of the show, how
did you feel?

148
00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:52,200
How did you feel about the show
in a a grander scale?

149
00:07:52,200 --> 00:07:58,320
Like what hit for you?
I enjoyed the show and I think I

150
00:07:58,320 --> 00:08:01,120
think unfortunately I was
expecting something a little

151
00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:04,120
different.
But after watching it and really

152
00:08:04,120 --> 00:08:07,920
thinking about it, the way that
I've been putting it together in

153
00:08:07,920 --> 00:08:11,320
my head is that I thought to
myself, OK, Derek, what are two

154
00:08:11,320 --> 00:08:14,360
sci-fi movies, recent sci-fi
movies that you've enjoyed?

155
00:08:14,760 --> 00:08:17,440
And I thought Annihilation and
Arrival, right.

156
00:08:17,760 --> 00:08:21,160
So Annihilation feels more like
an action, sci-fi, right?

157
00:08:21,160 --> 00:08:23,720
Like running from the beast.
Whereas Annihilation is more

158
00:08:23,720 --> 00:08:27,520
contemplative and sort of
working in a very scientific way

159
00:08:27,520 --> 00:08:31,040
to figure out what's going on.
And I feel like Arrival and

160
00:08:31,040 --> 00:08:33,679
Three Body Problem have a
similar feel to it.

161
00:08:33,960 --> 00:08:36,679
It's a little more quiet, it's a
little more cerebral.

162
00:08:36,960 --> 00:08:39,720
And I think once I put it in
that frame, I was like, now I

163
00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:42,039
get this, not that I didn't get
it before.

164
00:08:42,200 --> 00:08:46,400
And I just like every episode, I
was just kind of like left

165
00:08:46,520 --> 00:08:49,400
thinking.
So I think that going into this

166
00:08:49,400 --> 00:08:52,640
thinking you're going to get
like a Fifth Element, you know,

167
00:08:52,960 --> 00:08:57,080
blasters, you know UFOs coming
in, that is not what you should

168
00:08:57,080 --> 00:08:59,000
be expecting.
No, not at all.

169
00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:00,920
And I actually really like that,
right?

170
00:09:00,920 --> 00:09:04,760
Because we have our sci-fi, kind
of sci-fi fantasy stuff that's

171
00:09:04,760 --> 00:09:07,680
out there, like Star Wars and
all that, where it it's the

172
00:09:07,680 --> 00:09:09,560
action, right?
It's the spectacle of the thing,

173
00:09:09,560 --> 00:09:11,840
it's the gadget.
And in this one, it's not that.

174
00:09:12,080 --> 00:09:15,080
I mean there is the gadget in
the VR headset, but that's

175
00:09:15,080 --> 00:09:19,160
really the only like super
sci-fi thing that you would

176
00:09:19,160 --> 00:09:22,240
normally think of that's in this
series or in the show.

177
00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:27,440
But I really like that when we
start the series, we're in 1960s

178
00:09:27,760 --> 00:09:31,440
China during the Cultural
Revolution and it starts in such

179
00:09:31,440 --> 00:09:35,720
a gruesome and like, oh God way
that is real.

180
00:09:36,200 --> 00:09:39,920
Like, this is a not that
particular instance, but stuff

181
00:09:39,920 --> 00:09:42,960
like that did happen.
So like for something for sci-fi

182
00:09:43,160 --> 00:09:46,480
to start that way, so real and
then you get into like what the

183
00:09:46,480 --> 00:09:49,320
fiction part of it is, was
really cool.

184
00:09:49,400 --> 00:09:51,120
Yeah.
And and I think that that was an

185
00:09:51,120 --> 00:09:55,400
extremely strong beginning.
And as you obviously watch the

186
00:09:55,400 --> 00:10:01,880
entire series, starting Who is
Doctor Yay in with that story,

187
00:10:01,960 --> 00:10:05,760
with that scene makes so much
sense for the character to see

188
00:10:06,040 --> 00:10:09,640
her journey and where her
thought process goes in dealing

189
00:10:09,640 --> 00:10:13,400
with this entire invasion, yeah.
I really liked that they.

190
00:10:13,600 --> 00:10:16,200
I mean, if you were, if you were
to say like the most, like

191
00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:19,600
integral or central character in
this first season or in the

192
00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:22,560
first book, it's yeah, I mean,
she the Doctor, yeah.

193
00:10:22,560 --> 00:10:26,080
She is very much the catalyst
for why everything happens.

194
00:10:27,600 --> 00:10:30,840
It really worked with me that
they worked for me that they

195
00:10:30,840 --> 00:10:32,960
didn't step away from that,
right?

196
00:10:32,960 --> 00:10:34,960
Because they could have very
easily been like we're going to

197
00:10:34,960 --> 00:10:38,440
kind of like do the 1960 stuff
and then like the stuff in the

198
00:10:38,440 --> 00:10:40,760
present or the future is more
important.

199
00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:43,520
And I like that they did mix
that really well.

200
00:10:44,280 --> 00:10:48,640
They were probably the more
compelling parts for me because

201
00:10:48,640 --> 00:10:52,080
you you want to see like why she
made these decisions.

202
00:10:52,560 --> 00:10:56,440
Do I agree with them?
I can't really say, right,

203
00:10:56,440 --> 00:10:58,120
because I'm not in that
position.

204
00:10:58,120 --> 00:11:02,840
I mean, to see your family
completely, literally get torn

205
00:11:02,840 --> 00:11:06,440
apart in such a public way, and
that's like what the society is

206
00:11:06,440 --> 00:11:09,000
telling you.
I couldn't put myself in that

207
00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:13,000
situation, yeah.
I It's funny, I don't know if

208
00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:17,640
it's that I agree with what she
did, but I see how she did it

209
00:11:17,720 --> 00:11:23,600
and why she did it.
And they show her step by step,

210
00:11:23,600 --> 00:11:26,600
completely losing her faith in
humanity, right.

211
00:11:26,720 --> 00:11:30,160
So just OK again, spoiler
spoiler spoiler.

212
00:11:30,320 --> 00:11:32,520
I mean, I said it in the in the
little synopsis at the

213
00:11:32,520 --> 00:11:36,600
beginning, but she's the one
that ultimately ends up inviting

214
00:11:36,640 --> 00:11:39,440
the Santi to Earth to take over,
right?

215
00:11:39,480 --> 00:11:40,800
I did.
Want to Sorry, I did want to

216
00:11:40,800 --> 00:11:43,040
point out something because like
when they kept saying Santi, I

217
00:11:43,040 --> 00:11:47,480
was kind of confused because
Trislerian is what they are and

218
00:11:47,480 --> 00:11:50,680
I think Santi is the actual
Chinese name for it.

219
00:11:50,760 --> 00:11:52,440
And so they just used it in the
show.

220
00:11:52,720 --> 00:11:54,720
So when I kept hearing that, I
was like, why are they saying

221
00:11:54,720 --> 00:11:55,560
Santi?
Well.

222
00:11:55,560 --> 00:11:59,320
I read an article that said try.
So they were named try Solara in

223
00:11:59,320 --> 00:12:04,160
the book because it's three sons
and whereas Santi IS3 body,

224
00:12:04,280 --> 00:12:06,000
right?
So it's kind of, you know, A

225
00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:09,320
twist on the sort of same
concept, right?

226
00:12:10,760 --> 00:12:12,760
But yeah, that is.
But in in the show, they're

227
00:12:12,760 --> 00:12:16,120
called the Saunti.
And so, you know, in looking at

228
00:12:16,120 --> 00:12:18,720
her journey, right, in that
first scene, she's watching her

229
00:12:18,720 --> 00:12:22,400
father be beat to death and also
watching her mother completely

230
00:12:22,400 --> 00:12:27,800
betray him and her.
Then from there, a fellow person

231
00:12:27,800 --> 00:12:30,760
in the camp betrays her by not
sticking up for her When they

232
00:12:30,760 --> 00:12:34,240
find the English book, a soldier
steals her idea from there.

233
00:12:34,480 --> 00:12:38,480
And so when she finally meets
again the woman who killed her

234
00:12:38,480 --> 00:12:44,680
father, who has no remorse for
doing it, she's like, there is

235
00:12:44,680 --> 00:12:46,560
nothing to save here, right?
Right.

236
00:12:46,880 --> 00:12:48,720
Everything is awful.
Yes.

237
00:12:49,040 --> 00:12:51,360
I can't.
No one can do anything to make

238
00:12:51,720 --> 00:12:55,480
humans act correctly.
So please take over.

239
00:12:55,480 --> 00:12:57,000
Yeah, I.
Mean and it's one of those

240
00:12:57,000 --> 00:12:58,720
that's that's the point of this
book, right.

241
00:12:58,720 --> 00:13:01,960
It's like the the philosophical
on the scientifical, it's the

242
00:13:02,360 --> 00:13:05,320
the real versus like what I'm
going to decide, it's the

243
00:13:05,320 --> 00:13:07,320
existential versus.
I mean, you can keep going on

244
00:13:07,320 --> 00:13:11,040
and on and that's like the big
broad concepts of this story,

245
00:13:11,040 --> 00:13:15,600
which I think is what has kind
of propelled it into being in

246
00:13:15,600 --> 00:13:18,760
people's minds and continuing to
get the attention it deserves

247
00:13:18,760 --> 00:13:21,920
because it asks these huge
questions.

248
00:13:22,240 --> 00:13:26,960
And as far as the the show goes,
I think they did a decent job of

249
00:13:26,960 --> 00:13:29,120
showing like those types of
things.

250
00:13:29,120 --> 00:13:32,840
Like you get to see her journey
into, like, you know, being an

251
00:13:32,840 --> 00:13:34,920
actual prisoner, them being
forced to do this thing, and

252
00:13:34,920 --> 00:13:38,640
then being presented with this
opportunity to like if there's

253
00:13:38,640 --> 00:13:42,360
something out there that can
make us better or just replace

254
00:13:42,360 --> 00:13:45,440
us because we're not doing the
right thing, what is somebody

255
00:13:45,440 --> 00:13:48,720
going to do in that situation?
And the fact that she did it is

256
00:13:48,800 --> 00:13:51,640
terrifying.
And then her consequences ripple

257
00:13:52,120 --> 00:13:54,800
throughout the cosmos and
throughout the world, in

258
00:13:54,880 --> 00:13:57,960
history.
And it's a, it's a great concept

259
00:13:58,120 --> 00:14:02,600
to have the Oxford 5 and
present.

260
00:14:02,960 --> 00:14:08,040
How did you feel about them?
I think that some of them were

261
00:14:08,040 --> 00:14:12,040
stronger than others.
I do like though that by the end

262
00:14:12,040 --> 00:14:16,160
of these eight episodes you see
the role that each of the five

263
00:14:16,160 --> 00:14:19,040
of them is playing in this
entire journey and I needed

264
00:14:19,040 --> 00:14:20,840
that.
There was 1 character in

265
00:14:20,840 --> 00:14:24,280
particular, Will, who I was
really questioning for the first

266
00:14:24,280 --> 00:14:27,960
six episodes, not necessarily
knowing why he was a part of it,

267
00:14:28,320 --> 00:14:35,280
but then by the end he is sort
of integral to the future of

268
00:14:35,280 --> 00:14:40,600
them fighting the Santi.
But I appreciated that in the

269
00:14:40,600 --> 00:14:43,120
beginning is like, oh, it's just
all about Augie.

270
00:14:43,320 --> 00:14:45,640
And then it's like, oh wait, no,
it's all about Jin.

271
00:14:45,640 --> 00:14:49,880
And then Jack has his thing.
And so it was nice that each of

272
00:14:49,880 --> 00:14:53,600
them had their own set piece and
and and role in this entire

273
00:14:53,600 --> 00:14:54,720
universe.
Yeah.

274
00:14:54,720 --> 00:14:57,680
I I feel the same way.
I kind of like cast like this

275
00:14:57,680 --> 00:15:01,080
where it's like there isn't a
main character, it's an A true

276
00:15:01,080 --> 00:15:04,640
ensemble cast for like each one
plays a part and like maybe it's

277
00:15:04,640 --> 00:15:06,440
not apparent until towards the
end.

278
00:15:06,440 --> 00:15:09,200
But I did like that each one of
them almost had their own

279
00:15:09,200 --> 00:15:12,240
episodes or reason for being
there.

280
00:15:12,320 --> 00:15:16,240
Even though it's not apparent,
the the story I feel like does

281
00:15:16,240 --> 00:15:18,800
do a roller coaster right?
It's like there's stuff that's

282
00:15:18,800 --> 00:15:21,400
super fast-paced and there's
stuff where it's very quiet and

283
00:15:21,400 --> 00:15:26,840
very, I don't want to say slow,
but it's kind of it's exposition

284
00:15:26,840 --> 00:15:29,440
and conversation heavy, right?
And you have like an episode

285
00:15:29,440 --> 00:15:31,960
where the universe is blinking,
and then you have an episode

286
00:15:31,960 --> 00:15:35,760
where they're talking about
theoretical physics and stuff

287
00:15:35,760 --> 00:15:39,600
like that.
The character that I think did

288
00:15:39,600 --> 00:15:44,840
it for me in the end was Saul.
He really, I don't know, just by

289
00:15:44,840 --> 00:15:47,000
the end of it, and especially
those last two episodes, I was

290
00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:49,720
like, I really like this
character and he kind of snuck

291
00:15:49,720 --> 00:15:52,040
up on me.
The character that I felt was

292
00:15:52,040 --> 00:15:56,560
weakest for me was Will and I
enjoyed his parts towards the

293
00:15:56,560 --> 00:15:58,400
end.
But like, I don't know.

294
00:15:58,400 --> 00:16:01,920
The love story between Jen and
Will was just a little like,

295
00:16:02,160 --> 00:16:04,560
yeah.
I think, you know, you touched

296
00:16:04,560 --> 00:16:07,720
on it before and saying that
this, the season itself is a bit

297
00:16:07,720 --> 00:16:12,280
of a roller coaster and it does
get, it does slow down in

298
00:16:12,280 --> 00:16:15,240
episode six and seven.
And that is really when we're

299
00:16:15,240 --> 00:16:18,840
seeing the end of Will's journey
and that whole love story.

300
00:16:19,280 --> 00:16:25,040
It felt like it could have gone
somewhere, but they kept

301
00:16:25,040 --> 00:16:27,160
stopping it before it went
there.

302
00:16:28,600 --> 00:16:33,760
And the reason that I ended up
in liking Will so much is that I

303
00:16:33,760 --> 00:16:36,640
was trying to really think about
what do each of these people

304
00:16:36,640 --> 00:16:40,680
represent.
And so for me, like Saul is the

305
00:16:41,160 --> 00:16:44,520
reluctant leader, right?
He's used to taking the back

306
00:16:44,520 --> 00:16:46,120
seat, but now he has to be a
leader.

307
00:16:46,760 --> 00:16:50,120
I think that Jin is the one that
fully believes in science.

308
00:16:50,360 --> 00:16:53,240
I think that Augie is the one
who was watching the thing that

309
00:16:53,240 --> 00:16:55,200
she created be used in the wrong
way.

310
00:16:55,880 --> 00:16:58,280
Jack is the one who completely
turned his back on it.

311
00:16:58,600 --> 00:17:00,280
And then he's like.
I'm going to go and make money,

312
00:17:00,280 --> 00:17:01,240
Jack.
Snacks, baby.

313
00:17:02,480 --> 00:17:04,839
And Will.
The interesting thing about Will

314
00:17:04,839 --> 00:17:09,359
is right.
He very much accepts his role in

315
00:17:09,359 --> 00:17:12,079
the world.
He very much accepts his fate.

316
00:17:12,599 --> 00:17:16,480
And what's so interesting is
that this man who has been told

317
00:17:16,480 --> 00:17:21,079
that he's dying, he's diagnosed
with pancreatic cancer, he goes

318
00:17:21,079 --> 00:17:25,319
with it graciously.
And to see that juxtaposed to

319
00:17:25,319 --> 00:17:29,080
the rest of the world, who
starts to immediately panic when

320
00:17:29,080 --> 00:17:34,320
they find out an alien race is
400 years away and some of them

321
00:17:34,320 --> 00:17:37,040
even take their own lives.
It's so interesting that this

322
00:17:37,040 --> 00:17:40,640
person who knew that they were
going to die now and could not

323
00:17:40,640 --> 00:17:43,120
control it, goes with it
willingly.

324
00:17:43,600 --> 00:17:47,760
And so I thought that was such a
deep thing to finally get to

325
00:17:48,640 --> 00:17:50,720
that.
I thought, wow, that was really

326
00:17:50,720 --> 00:17:53,520
impressive for what that
character stands for.

327
00:17:53,640 --> 00:17:55,280
Yeah.
And they they were quiet for

328
00:17:55,280 --> 00:17:58,120
most of the series.
It's like, oh, he is a teacher

329
00:17:58,120 --> 00:17:59,880
now, right?
And it's like the rest of them

330
00:17:59,880 --> 00:18:02,400
had their parts to play and you
don't really find out his part

331
00:18:02,400 --> 00:18:04,920
until way later.
And then even then, his part is

332
00:18:04,920 --> 00:18:11,040
just to be like, yeah, OK, I
hadn't just send me into space.

333
00:18:11,040 --> 00:18:12,000
I had.
Another thought.

334
00:18:12,880 --> 00:18:15,720
So, you know, Jin gives him that
goldfish.

335
00:18:16,080 --> 00:18:19,160
And then I was like, oh, my God,
he's kind of the goldfish.

336
00:18:19,160 --> 00:18:22,040
Yeah.
His brain is just in that

337
00:18:22,040 --> 00:18:22,920
canister.
Yeah.

338
00:18:22,920 --> 00:18:24,000
You.
Can't do anything about it.

339
00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:27,720
Oh, my God, you're you're up to
fate at that point.

340
00:18:27,720 --> 00:18:29,920
Is somebody going to feed me?
Is somebody going to take care

341
00:18:29,920 --> 00:18:31,920
of me?
All right.

342
00:18:31,920 --> 00:18:36,280
P But you did touch on one point
that I think is absolutely

343
00:18:36,280 --> 00:18:39,280
insane.
So the the first season of the

344
00:18:39,280 --> 00:18:44,920
show actually bleeds in to a lot
of the second book and pull some

345
00:18:44,920 --> 00:18:46,720
things from the third book as
well.

346
00:18:47,320 --> 00:18:51,320
But about episode 5:00-ish, I
would say, like when the bugs

347
00:18:51,320 --> 00:18:56,680
when it says on all the screens,
when the Sofon Sofon thing does

348
00:18:56,680 --> 00:18:58,640
its thing on all the screens, it
says you are bugs.

349
00:18:58,640 --> 00:19:00,880
It's kind of like where the
first book ends.

350
00:19:01,160 --> 00:19:04,320
So all the wall facer stuff and
the will stuff, all of that

351
00:19:04,560 --> 00:19:09,960
doesn't happen yet, but it's
absolutely insane.

352
00:19:09,960 --> 00:19:13,680
And one of the coolest things
about this series is that like,

353
00:19:14,400 --> 00:19:17,080
you find out that yes, there is
life out there.

354
00:19:17,080 --> 00:19:21,000
Yes, they are reaching out.
Yes, there's the whole like

355
00:19:21,160 --> 00:19:26,320
cultists and like weird like ETO
out there, but they're not going

356
00:19:26,320 --> 00:19:31,440
to be here for 400 years, which
is insane because like most of

357
00:19:31,440 --> 00:19:34,840
the time when we're reading or
experiences sci-fi and stuff,

358
00:19:34,840 --> 00:19:38,320
they have like warp speed, they
can get to where they want to

359
00:19:38,320 --> 00:19:38,760
go.
It's.

360
00:19:38,760 --> 00:19:40,600
World of War?
It's a hero, right?

361
00:19:40,600 --> 00:19:42,760
But it's like, no, they're
coming.

362
00:19:43,120 --> 00:19:48,160
And the terrifying thing is, is,
like, OK, now what are we going

363
00:19:48,160 --> 00:19:53,360
to do as a collective human race
to prepare for that escape?

364
00:19:53,360 --> 00:19:55,920
It Stop them?
Like, that's the thing that

365
00:19:55,920 --> 00:19:59,440
makes the series.
So like, oh, I don't know what I

366
00:19:59,440 --> 00:20:02,240
would do.
We're going to fall apart.

367
00:20:02,320 --> 00:20:06,280
We're going to fall apart.
It's funny that you I I in my

368
00:20:06,280 --> 00:20:11,920
notes I had written that there's
like ABB before bug and AB after

369
00:20:11,920 --> 00:20:15,200
bug, because it really does feel
like there's such a turn when

370
00:20:15,200 --> 00:20:16,760
that happens.
And I didn't know that that's

371
00:20:16,760 --> 00:20:19,120
how the first book ended.
So that makes a lot of sense in

372
00:20:19,120 --> 00:20:21,720
seeing it in the series, yeah?
Yeah, it's it's such a really

373
00:20:21,720 --> 00:20:24,720
cool thing and a a great way to
tell this kind of story because

374
00:20:24,720 --> 00:20:29,720
it's unique and that like OK,
they are advanced, right.

375
00:20:30,200 --> 00:20:32,520
One of the conversations that
happens in the show is like, you

376
00:20:32,520 --> 00:20:36,800
know, we as a human race have
advanced a lot from like the

377
00:20:36,800 --> 00:20:40,080
industrial age to now in a
shorter amount of time from like

378
00:20:40,080 --> 00:20:42,440
the medieval to the industrial
age.

379
00:20:43,080 --> 00:20:47,360
But they're way ahead of us, and
they are already doing measures

380
00:20:47,360 --> 00:20:51,880
60 years prior to the present in
this to stop our science.

381
00:20:52,200 --> 00:20:57,040
And like again, the the series
has so many like scientifical

382
00:20:57,040 --> 00:21:02,680
physical physics in it that are
like baffling but like really

383
00:21:02,680 --> 00:21:05,000
cool once you, I guess,
understand it.

384
00:21:05,800 --> 00:21:09,600
Which I didn't.
Well, is there something so like

385
00:21:09,600 --> 00:21:12,360
in the series so far in the
season one, is there something

386
00:21:12,360 --> 00:21:15,640
that like you wish you could
have understood more?

387
00:21:15,640 --> 00:21:17,960
Like, is there something that
was more baffling than the rest

388
00:21:17,960 --> 00:21:18,840
of it?
Yeah.

389
00:21:18,840 --> 00:21:26,480
And for me it was so the Sofons.
So also they said it so fast and

390
00:21:26,480 --> 00:21:27,960
a lot of them have British
accents.

391
00:21:27,960 --> 00:21:31,160
I thought they were saying cell
phones a lot, the cell phones,

392
00:21:31,240 --> 00:21:34,160
Cell phones.
So the Sofons are ever expanding

393
00:21:34,160 --> 00:21:39,080
Protons and there are four of
them, but two of them are here

394
00:21:39,280 --> 00:21:43,120
and they've gone inside all of
our technology and they make the

395
00:21:43,120 --> 00:21:47,000
stars blink like the exactly.
It's it's like, you know, I

396
00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:49,360
don't know.
It was like they did this, yeah.

397
00:21:49,440 --> 00:21:52,720
It's it's one of those things
where in the book, I believe

398
00:21:52,720 --> 00:21:54,680
it's like Chapter 33 in the
book.

399
00:21:54,680 --> 00:21:58,000
It's towards the end because in
the first book you get the

400
00:21:58,000 --> 00:22:03,280
perspective of the Sonti or the
Trisolarans and they're doing

401
00:22:03,280 --> 00:22:05,480
that.
So you get to figure out, you

402
00:22:05,480 --> 00:22:08,920
get to see how they took that
proton.

403
00:22:09,400 --> 00:22:10,640
It's all about dimensions,
right?

404
00:22:10,640 --> 00:22:15,200
It's like our brain can't
conceive dimensions higher than

405
00:22:15,200 --> 00:22:16,840
whatever.
I can't even understand what

406
00:22:16,840 --> 00:22:20,200
they're talking about.
I was so bewildered by that I

407
00:22:20,200 --> 00:22:22,400
still don't understand it.
We're not physicists.

408
00:22:22,400 --> 00:22:27,920
We're not geniuses.
But like the best way I this is

409
00:22:27,920 --> 00:22:30,520
just me kind of working it out
in real time with everybody Is

410
00:22:30,520 --> 00:22:34,640
that like if you took a piece of
paper and like it's crumpled up

411
00:22:35,120 --> 00:22:37,280
and then you spread it back out,
the surface is going to be

412
00:22:37,280 --> 00:22:41,760
bigger in two dimensions right
from here to like bigger.

413
00:22:42,160 --> 00:22:45,080
And So what they did is they
took a proton and like stretched

414
00:22:45,080 --> 00:22:47,920
it out so the surface becomes
bigger.

415
00:22:48,400 --> 00:22:51,160
Then they built a computer on
it.

416
00:22:51,160 --> 00:22:56,000
It's like the size of a world
and then put it back down to

417
00:22:56,360 --> 00:23:00,280
very small, right.
And so that it like, transcends

418
00:23:00,280 --> 00:23:03,200
dimensions and like that's how
they can communicate with the

419
00:23:03,200 --> 00:23:06,000
humans in real time and also
affect their sciences.

420
00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:09,520
And like, it's bananas.
I don't understand it, but it's

421
00:23:09,520 --> 00:23:11,920
cool as hell, yeah.
You know what question always

422
00:23:11,920 --> 00:23:14,960
gets me that freaks me out?
Do you think there are other

423
00:23:14,960 --> 00:23:17,240
colours in the universe that we
haven't seen before?

424
00:23:17,240 --> 00:23:18,640
Yes.
And when you think about it

425
00:23:18,640 --> 00:23:21,720
though, you're like, I can't
compute other colours, you

426
00:23:21,720 --> 00:23:23,520
can't.
So that's what that was to me.

427
00:23:23,520 --> 00:23:25,880
I was like, I was watching the
graphic, I was watching them

428
00:23:25,880 --> 00:23:28,720
stretch out the proton and I'm
like, what?

429
00:23:29,240 --> 00:23:31,760
And then it got really small and
it flew somewhere.

430
00:23:31,760 --> 00:23:33,480
It was in our computers.
There's like.

431
00:23:33,480 --> 00:23:37,560
Something that's like intertwine
quantum, something I don't know,

432
00:23:37,560 --> 00:23:39,920
like the.
Quantum of Solace Quantumania.

433
00:23:40,440 --> 00:23:44,560
I don't like that movie, but
there there's like actual

434
00:23:44,560 --> 00:23:48,120
theories in this book that are
just like they're trying to be

435
00:23:48,120 --> 00:23:50,680
proven or they're actual, real
things that are being worked on.

436
00:23:50,680 --> 00:23:56,800
And it's like if that does
exist, like the concept of just

437
00:23:56,800 --> 00:24:02,160
a loan of their of a more
advanced species out there is

438
00:24:02,240 --> 00:24:06,320
terrifying because one why
haven't we seen them or have we

439
00:24:06,760 --> 00:24:11,440
3 body problem but like it's
just wild to think about.

440
00:24:11,520 --> 00:24:14,080
Yeah, it's.
Like when I took calculus and my

441
00:24:14,080 --> 00:24:17,800
teacher was like, remember how
we used to find the areas of

442
00:24:18,040 --> 00:24:19,760
parallelograms?
We're like, yeah, she's like,

443
00:24:19,760 --> 00:24:23,880
OK, but now it's 3 dimensional
and now we're just looking for a

444
00:24:23,880 --> 00:24:26,360
certain point in that
parallelogram and now we're

445
00:24:26,360 --> 00:24:29,880
going to find the area of that.
It was like, what?

446
00:24:30,200 --> 00:24:30,880
No.
Why?

447
00:24:30,880 --> 00:24:34,440
I I love sci-fi.
I love hard sci-fi.

448
00:24:34,440 --> 00:24:37,600
I love just hearing it.
Will I understand it?

449
00:24:37,600 --> 00:24:39,520
Probably not.
You have to like, lay it out for

450
00:24:39,520 --> 00:24:43,280
me, but like, not good at it.
I don't like.

451
00:24:43,280 --> 00:24:45,280
I'm.
I'm glad I am where I am.

452
00:24:45,640 --> 00:24:47,800
I wish I could understand it,
but I know my strengths.

453
00:24:47,840 --> 00:24:49,680
You.
Know who I did appreciate.

454
00:24:49,680 --> 00:24:55,160
So yeah, when she is younger,
when she was explaining how they

455
00:24:55,160 --> 00:24:58,280
were going to use the Sun to
amplify their signal, I was

456
00:24:58,280 --> 00:25:00,160
like, I understood that.
There is.

457
00:25:00,160 --> 00:25:02,320
She's a good teacher, one of not
a good.

458
00:25:02,320 --> 00:25:03,960
Mother, but she's a good
teacher, she.

459
00:25:03,960 --> 00:25:06,160
Is not a good mother in the
book.

460
00:25:06,160 --> 00:25:09,640
She's not a Good Wife either
because she sees an opportunity

461
00:25:09,640 --> 00:25:12,920
to kill her husband and she's
like, well, well, sorry, well,

462
00:25:12,920 --> 00:25:14,760
not necessarily kill her
husband, but she has to kill

463
00:25:14,760 --> 00:25:19,960
somebody And her husband just
just, oh, wow, wow, read the

464
00:25:20,000 --> 00:25:21,200
book.
It's crazy.

465
00:25:22,640 --> 00:25:25,600
One of the things that I was
missing from the show from a

466
00:25:25,600 --> 00:25:30,080
book reader standpoint is there,
There's these like, allegories

467
00:25:30,080 --> 00:25:34,320
and ways of explaining things in
the book that I really enjoyed.

468
00:25:34,320 --> 00:25:35,840
And I'm going to get like super
nerdy with it.

469
00:25:35,840 --> 00:25:39,680
But like, it helped me as a
reader to understand some of the

470
00:25:39,720 --> 00:25:42,800
things.
So there's this thing that is

471
00:25:42,800 --> 00:25:45,480
presented in the book called the
shooter and the farmer, and the

472
00:25:45,480 --> 00:25:50,640
shooter is so say a shooter
shoots a target, right?

473
00:25:50,640 --> 00:25:54,320
And every 10 centimeters there's
a bullet hole or whatever.

474
00:25:54,760 --> 00:25:57,720
And say that there's
two-dimensional sentient beings

475
00:25:57,720 --> 00:26:01,960
on that target.
Their law of the universe is

476
00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:04,920
every 10 centimeters there's a
hole in the universe.

477
00:26:06,040 --> 00:26:08,040
But that they think that's how
the universe works.

478
00:26:08,200 --> 00:26:11,280
But it was just the shooter.
I'm just shooting a target like

479
00:26:11,280 --> 00:26:12,680
it's.
But they're creating laws,

480
00:26:12,680 --> 00:26:15,760
right?
The farmer is Turkey farmer.

481
00:26:16,600 --> 00:26:18,640
Every day at 11:00 AM, ghost
feeds the Turkey.

482
00:26:18,960 --> 00:26:22,240
The scientist Turkey is like
every day at 11:00 AM, we get

483
00:26:22,240 --> 00:26:23,520
our food.
That is the law.

484
00:26:23,520 --> 00:26:26,320
That's what's going to happen.
It doesn't happen on

485
00:26:26,320 --> 00:26:28,080
Thanksgiving because it goes and
kills the Turkey.

486
00:26:29,800 --> 00:26:32,800
Your whole concept of reality,
it's just completely changed.

487
00:26:32,800 --> 00:26:35,320
And I think that's one of the
cool things that's presented in

488
00:26:35,320 --> 00:26:37,520
this story.
And they did a fairly good job,

489
00:26:37,800 --> 00:26:40,200
I feel like, in this show with
doing that.

490
00:26:43,000 --> 00:26:44,560
Am I the Turkey?
Yes.

491
00:26:44,560 --> 00:26:51,160
No, I I think that, like, for
trying to adapt something like

492
00:26:51,160 --> 00:26:55,040
this, they did a decent job.
I don't know if all of the

493
00:26:55,040 --> 00:26:58,400
stories kind of hit the way they
were supposed to, but I'm glad

494
00:26:58,400 --> 00:27:01,480
that there was each one of the
Oxford Five, there was something

495
00:27:01,480 --> 00:27:04,480
that you could relate to, right?
Or, you know, somebody that's

496
00:27:04,480 --> 00:27:06,480
like that in the friend group or
whatever.

497
00:27:07,440 --> 00:27:10,320
So I'm glad that they tried to
get that human connection in

498
00:27:10,320 --> 00:27:14,440
there for a story that is just
massive and ambitious like this,

499
00:27:14,560 --> 00:27:17,880
yeah.
I think that there are certain

500
00:27:17,880 --> 00:27:20,600
things, personally, I think in
this series that they could have

501
00:27:20,600 --> 00:27:24,640
trimmed down a little and made
it a little fast pace.

502
00:27:24,640 --> 00:27:26,760
And I'm not saying that there
needed to be more action.

503
00:27:27,000 --> 00:27:29,880
I think that some of the parts
where they were really getting

504
00:27:29,880 --> 00:27:32,440
into these conversations about
the science and what was going

505
00:27:32,440 --> 00:27:35,720
on while they were interesting,
if you're not understanding it,

506
00:27:35,840 --> 00:27:38,720
you could lose it very easily.
And so I think if they just

507
00:27:38,720 --> 00:27:42,120
trimmed some of that back, the
pace would have picked up and it

508
00:27:42,120 --> 00:27:45,240
would have felt like it was
moving along a little more

509
00:27:45,240 --> 00:27:47,240
quickly.
You know what I didn't expect in

510
00:27:47,240 --> 00:27:49,360
this, Speaking of like, pacing
and stuff like that.

511
00:27:49,360 --> 00:27:53,160
So John Bradley, who is a Game
of Thrones alum, I believe

512
00:27:53,160 --> 00:27:55,360
there's two other Game of
Thrones alum in here.

513
00:27:56,360 --> 00:27:59,120
Him dying.
Didn't expect that in a very

514
00:27:59,120 --> 00:28:02,440
gruesome way, But I really, I
really appreciated Jen and

515
00:28:02,440 --> 00:28:04,840
Jack's relationship.
It was kind of fun to see that,

516
00:28:04,840 --> 00:28:09,120
Like, they both really got into
the game of it right And they

517
00:28:09,120 --> 00:28:11,240
had that connection I was going.
To ask what did you think of the

518
00:28:11,240 --> 00:28:12,800
game?
I liked it.

519
00:28:13,560 --> 00:28:19,760
I think visually and spectacle
wise, a story like this, it does

520
00:28:19,760 --> 00:28:22,880
well for it, like it adds to it.
I really liked it because it's

521
00:28:22,880 --> 00:28:27,000
like one of those things where,
OK, it's a game that's not like

522
00:28:27,040 --> 00:28:28,480
a fighting game or anything like
that.

523
00:28:28,480 --> 00:28:29,920
It's a puzzle.
You have to figure it out.

524
00:28:30,280 --> 00:28:33,240
And then there's an extra layer
of like it's just a recruitment

525
00:28:33,240 --> 00:28:39,120
tool for the ETO bananas.
So I always I like that the

526
00:28:39,120 --> 00:28:43,320
story has the detective story in
it and then that crazy cults

527
00:28:43,760 --> 00:28:45,920
idealistic of like, Nope, we're
done.

528
00:28:45,920 --> 00:28:48,000
We're doomed.
Human race is done.

529
00:28:48,000 --> 00:28:50,640
We believe in the Lord and they
need to come here and we're

530
00:28:50,640 --> 00:28:52,160
going to do it by any means
necessary.

531
00:28:52,160 --> 00:28:54,160
It's just really smart.
It's a smart way to do it.

532
00:28:54,160 --> 00:28:59,000
But I my favorite if I had to
pick times that they went into

533
00:28:59,000 --> 00:29:04,040
the game was during the human
computer or calculator when all

534
00:29:04,040 --> 00:29:07,480
three Suns lined up and they all
just the gravity of it all.

535
00:29:07,480 --> 00:29:11,680
Just so cool.
Yeah, in case now correct me if

536
00:29:11,680 --> 00:29:14,400
I'm wrong, in case you aren't
going to watch the show and

537
00:29:14,400 --> 00:29:16,840
you're just listening to us and
you're like, what the hell is

538
00:29:16,840 --> 00:29:20,360
the three body problem?
So the three body problem is

539
00:29:20,360 --> 00:29:24,080
that this one planet is in the
gravitational pull of three

540
00:29:24,080 --> 00:29:26,720
different Suns.
And dependent of each other,

541
00:29:26,720 --> 00:29:29,960
right?
And so it's How do you save this

542
00:29:29,960 --> 00:29:34,760
world when these three celestial
bodies are revolving around it?

543
00:29:34,840 --> 00:29:38,480
Or just.
One of, like, scientifically,

544
00:29:39,120 --> 00:29:41,760
that's a real thing, right?
It's like one of the hardest

545
00:29:41,760 --> 00:29:44,440
things to try to figure out.
It's like, how does something

546
00:29:44,440 --> 00:29:48,200
like that survive, right, when
you have three different things?

547
00:29:48,320 --> 00:29:50,240
Yeah.
And I know I got some of that

548
00:29:50,240 --> 00:29:52,720
wrong, and I know someone's
going to be like, no, it's.

549
00:29:52,720 --> 00:29:57,480
Pretty much, right, Thanks.
Did you have a favorite moment

550
00:29:57,480 --> 00:30:02,240
in the three body game?
I think, well, I loved that when

551
00:30:02,240 --> 00:30:04,920
everybody was floating away.
I thought that was really

552
00:30:04,920 --> 00:30:09,440
incredible, but I think the most
shocking thing are dehydrated

553
00:30:09,560 --> 00:30:12,440
human balls.
So awesome.

554
00:30:12,480 --> 00:30:13,840
They roll them up like fruit
roll ups.

555
00:30:13,840 --> 00:30:15,640
Oh.
Mama, they said, look at this.

556
00:30:16,320 --> 00:30:18,600
It's like when you take a fruit
roll up as a kid, you just smash

557
00:30:18,600 --> 00:30:20,080
it together and then you put it
in your mouth.

558
00:30:20,400 --> 00:30:22,400
They were like.
Yeah, yeah.

559
00:30:22,520 --> 00:30:24,040
It's so cool.
Yeah.

560
00:30:24,200 --> 00:30:26,640
That was pretty.
It was it was so shocking.

561
00:30:26,840 --> 00:30:29,840
But then seeing them come back
to life and rehydrate, it was

562
00:30:29,840 --> 00:30:31,080
very cool.
There's.

563
00:30:31,720 --> 00:30:36,280
Side note, in the book, count
and follower are in the book as

564
00:30:36,280 --> 00:30:37,280
well.
The little girl.

565
00:30:38,360 --> 00:30:42,440
And when Wong, who is the
character in the book that

566
00:30:42,440 --> 00:30:46,320
really is an algamation of these
five characters.

567
00:30:46,840 --> 00:30:50,400
The main through character of
the book should say they had.

568
00:30:50,400 --> 00:30:52,960
There's a conversation where
like you haven't fed me in days.

569
00:30:52,960 --> 00:30:54,680
What am I supposed to do?
And you won't let me eat the

570
00:30:54,680 --> 00:30:58,000
dehydrated.
Corky Human jerky.

571
00:30:58,400 --> 00:31:01,640
It's just it's so funny.
They really go into detail of

572
00:31:01,640 --> 00:31:03,280
that.
Like they have like

573
00:31:04,360 --> 00:31:06,360
depositories.
You kind of see in the show

574
00:31:06,360 --> 00:31:08,960
where there's like those Dome
houses where they were like

575
00:31:08,960 --> 00:31:12,960
throwing the dehydrated people
into the water in there.

576
00:31:12,960 --> 00:31:16,200
It's like some people that
rehydrated because rats got in

577
00:31:16,200 --> 00:31:19,920
there or like some type of
vermin and like part of their

578
00:31:19,920 --> 00:31:23,200
like, head and they're like
bleeding and yeah, it's crazy.

579
00:31:23,200 --> 00:31:25,280
Oh my.
Gosh, you know, I was thinking

580
00:31:25,280 --> 00:31:30,440
about the game.
And so we see that Jin gets a

581
00:31:30,440 --> 00:31:35,160
headset, right, and Jack puts it
on and the, you know, she comes

582
00:31:35,160 --> 00:31:36,480
out and she's like, you're not
invited.

583
00:31:36,480 --> 00:31:39,760
She cuts his head off.
And I thought, oh, you know,

584
00:31:39,760 --> 00:31:44,400
that doesn't make sense.
Because if yes, it was really

585
00:31:44,400 --> 00:31:48,320
her daughter's game, then how
come Jin could go in it?

586
00:31:48,520 --> 00:31:51,920
And then I realized, no, it
wasn't her daughter's game.

587
00:31:52,120 --> 00:31:55,840
She purposely gave it to Jin and
she's like, oh, I don't know

588
00:31:55,840 --> 00:31:58,240
what it is.
I just play, you know, pong

589
00:31:58,560 --> 00:31:59,520
Liar.
Yeah.

590
00:31:59,600 --> 00:32:02,520
Yeah, she is.
I love this character so much

591
00:32:02,520 --> 00:32:05,120
because she's so complicated.
And she goes through this like

592
00:32:05,120 --> 00:32:09,160
roller coaster of, like, you
know, seeing her in the 1960s

593
00:32:09,160 --> 00:32:11,840
and seeing her now and seeing
her like, be this leader of the

594
00:32:11,880 --> 00:32:14,920
ETO, but then like kind of back
peddling a little bit and

595
00:32:14,920 --> 00:32:18,040
seeing, like, what she did, It's
insane.

596
00:32:18,280 --> 00:32:20,880
So insane Can.
I talk about a character that I

597
00:32:20,880 --> 00:32:21,760
didn't like.
I.

598
00:32:21,760 --> 00:32:22,800
Know who it is?
But yeah.

599
00:32:22,920 --> 00:32:24,120
Who?
Tatiana.

600
00:32:24,120 --> 00:32:24,800
Yes.
Yeah.

601
00:32:25,840 --> 00:32:29,200
Oh, it's because of my notes.
No, no.

602
00:32:29,200 --> 00:32:32,280
It's because every time when she
was hobbling away during the ETO

603
00:32:32,280 --> 00:32:34,160
meeting, you're like, I hate her
because.

604
00:32:34,760 --> 00:32:39,040
So these characters always
frustrate the hell out of me

605
00:32:39,040 --> 00:32:40,000
because.
They're unstoppable.

606
00:32:40,000 --> 00:32:42,920
They're.
Unstoppable for no reason other

607
00:32:42,920 --> 00:32:45,360
than they're just written that
they're unstoppable.

608
00:32:45,360 --> 00:32:53,640
Can I say I loved her because
this, like, look, she has of

609
00:32:53,640 --> 00:32:57,560
this, like, completely devoted
to her, 'cause just like how she

610
00:32:57,560 --> 00:33:00,440
does her face.
And like, look, I'm like you

611
00:33:00,440 --> 00:33:04,040
terrify me oh.
Yeah, the the actor's portrayal

612
00:33:04,040 --> 00:33:08,720
is fantastic.
It's just that, like, come on,

613
00:33:08,840 --> 00:33:12,720
she's crawling on the floor.
She went soldiers with, you

614
00:33:12,720 --> 00:33:14,200
know, automatic weapons
everywhere.

615
00:33:14,200 --> 00:33:18,120
And she's like nobody notices
her. 20 miles just like, yeah.

616
00:33:18,160 --> 00:33:19,800
Where did she go?
How did she fix it?

617
00:33:20,000 --> 00:33:24,160
I'm I'm like I can't stabs Jack
in the neck.

618
00:33:24,240 --> 00:33:25,520
That's where you're done with
it.

619
00:33:25,520 --> 00:33:30,120
You're just.
This man is like a £250 man and

620
00:33:30,120 --> 00:33:35,600
in one she got him No no, Oh.
Come on, that's where.

621
00:33:35,960 --> 00:33:38,520
That's where you draw the line.
Yeah, that's OK.

622
00:33:39,080 --> 00:33:41,080
All the theoretical science, I
get it.

623
00:33:41,880 --> 00:33:45,560
We can't not talk about Benedict
Wong as Dasha.

624
00:33:45,560 --> 00:33:47,560
What a guy.
So cool.

625
00:33:47,560 --> 00:33:50,840
The one of the coolest parts
about this story Feel like I've

626
00:33:50,840 --> 00:33:53,240
said that a lot.
I just really like this story

627
00:33:53,240 --> 00:33:56,160
and this.
Everything is the whole

628
00:33:56,160 --> 00:33:57,720
detective and the mystery of it,
right?

629
00:33:57,720 --> 00:34:00,520
There's mystery from mystery.
I do feel like some of the

630
00:34:00,640 --> 00:34:05,440
mysteries were kind of just like
solved and then pushed aside.

631
00:34:05,680 --> 00:34:07,920
It's like the whole point of
this is to like figure this out

632
00:34:07,920 --> 00:34:09,239
and it's like, oh next problem
his.

633
00:34:09,239 --> 00:34:12,159
Job shifted very quickly.
I mean, it's whatever he needs

634
00:34:12,159 --> 00:34:13,440
it to be, I guess.
Whatever.

635
00:34:13,440 --> 00:34:14,719
Wade is like, you're doing this
now.

636
00:34:14,719 --> 00:34:19,040
He's like, OK, but the whole
countdown in the scientists eyes

637
00:34:19,040 --> 00:34:21,880
and like, over 30 scientists
have been killed and leading up

638
00:34:21,880 --> 00:34:26,080
to Auggie getting them in her
eye, I liked how he was kind of

639
00:34:26,159 --> 00:34:31,040
the one to bring the Oxford 5
into this giant thing, right?

640
00:34:32,000 --> 00:34:33,960
His detective story is very
compelling.

641
00:34:34,199 --> 00:34:36,639
He also has some of the best
line deliveries in this.

642
00:34:36,639 --> 00:34:38,679
And that's just 'cause it's
Benedict Wong.

643
00:34:38,679 --> 00:34:43,800
Like, when I was reading this
book, I knew he was casted as

644
00:34:43,800 --> 00:34:46,199
his character.
But I'm like, yeah, like this

645
00:34:46,199 --> 00:34:49,600
is, I can't imagine anybody else
playing this character.

646
00:34:50,159 --> 00:34:51,280
He's very good.
Yeah.

647
00:34:51,280 --> 00:34:55,320
He's so good and I, you know,
you fall in love with him as

648
00:34:55,320 --> 00:34:58,360
wongers, you know what I mean?
And so to see him kind of coming

649
00:34:58,360 --> 00:35:01,320
out and playing a whole
different character, it was he

650
00:35:01,320 --> 00:35:03,160
was great.
He was really fantastic.

651
00:35:04,160 --> 00:35:06,800
Because you brought up Augie.
I think we need to talk about

652
00:35:06,800 --> 00:35:09,880
the most gruesome part of this,
yes.

653
00:35:09,880 --> 00:35:14,800
Yeah, this is like, this is
where Dan and DB really shine.

654
00:35:15,080 --> 00:35:19,440
Game of Thrones, they are all in
on like going and pushing the

655
00:35:19,440 --> 00:35:21,240
envelope and showing you these
things.

656
00:35:21,640 --> 00:35:25,200
The scene, the scene in the
Panama Canal where her nano

657
00:35:25,200 --> 00:35:30,720
fibers are used to literally
just kill everybody on Judgement

658
00:35:30,720 --> 00:35:34,080
day with no remorse, no way of
stopping.

659
00:35:34,080 --> 00:35:36,760
It is amazing.
It's.

660
00:35:36,840 --> 00:35:41,600
Like that scene in that haunted
ship movie Go.

661
00:35:41,600 --> 00:35:42,600
Ship go.
Ship.

662
00:35:43,000 --> 00:35:45,120
Yeah.
Where the wire cuts all their

663
00:35:45,120 --> 00:35:47,840
heads off, Yeah.
But instead of that, it's the

664
00:35:47,840 --> 00:35:52,720
entire ship.
Yes, the way they did that in

665
00:35:52,720 --> 00:35:54,840
the book, it's like a page long,
that thing.

666
00:35:54,840 --> 00:35:56,640
You don't really get all of this
stuff.

667
00:35:56,640 --> 00:36:00,160
So for it to be played out for
like a good chunk of the episode

668
00:36:00,160 --> 00:36:04,320
and like being terrified of the
thing you can't see and the

669
00:36:04,320 --> 00:36:10,040
quickness of people just being
sliced and dropped, so cool, I

670
00:36:10,040 --> 00:36:10,920
guess.
You know what?

671
00:36:11,760 --> 00:36:14,040
It was a quick death I.
Yeah, that's cool.

672
00:36:14,040 --> 00:36:15,200
I really liked it.
Yeah.

673
00:36:15,240 --> 00:36:17,080
Yeah, that was amazing.
It was like I felt like I'd been

674
00:36:17,080 --> 00:36:19,240
waiting for something like that
to happen, so.

675
00:36:19,240 --> 00:36:19,960
Cool.
It's like.

676
00:36:19,960 --> 00:36:22,400
Get them.
Get them all with your Nano

677
00:36:22,400 --> 00:36:24,240
knives.
Slice them.

678
00:36:24,240 --> 00:36:26,960
That's what you get for telling
them about Little Red Riding

679
00:36:26,960 --> 00:36:30,000
Hood and them questioning.
Wait, I have.

680
00:36:30,000 --> 00:36:34,840
OK, so I have another question.
I'm jumping around, but what did

681
00:36:34,840 --> 00:36:40,000
you think the significance of
the fairy tales is throughout?

682
00:36:40,240 --> 00:36:43,320
Because it's not just him
reading her the fairy tales.

683
00:36:43,560 --> 00:36:47,800
Well, I think I don't know if I
know the answer, but this is how

684
00:36:47,800 --> 00:36:52,160
I interpreted the reason of them
being there is that those are

685
00:36:52,160 --> 00:36:57,160
stories that have stood the test
of time in that them being

686
00:36:57,160 --> 00:37:00,640
actual fairy tales or, you know,
legends that people tell.

687
00:37:00,640 --> 00:37:05,440
These are ways to show lessons
and what has shaped us.

688
00:37:06,040 --> 00:37:09,280
And so I think the significance
of the Little Red Riding Hood

689
00:37:09,280 --> 00:37:12,920
one was to show that there is
deceit and there is lies and

690
00:37:12,920 --> 00:37:16,360
there is a reason for it.
And with when you're talking

691
00:37:16,360 --> 00:37:22,320
about a, you know, beings that
literally don't speak, it's all

692
00:37:22,360 --> 00:37:24,280
with their mind.
There's no like filter of like,

693
00:37:24,280 --> 00:37:27,160
thinking and speaking.
It just does.

694
00:37:27,960 --> 00:37:31,200
They can't understand that, like
they're not able to process

695
00:37:31,200 --> 00:37:32,560
that.
And that's what really is like,

696
00:37:33,160 --> 00:37:35,720
oh, I don't trust you now like I
thought I was.

697
00:37:35,960 --> 00:37:38,360
You communicated like us, but
you don't.

698
00:37:39,200 --> 00:37:44,040
But yeah, I generally think it's
like that was his way of showing

699
00:37:44,040 --> 00:37:46,720
them or like telling them this
is how humans are.

700
00:37:46,720 --> 00:37:48,720
These are the lessons that we
learned because they know

701
00:37:48,720 --> 00:37:50,520
everything.
They've read the Internet.

702
00:37:51,000 --> 00:37:53,480
So like, now I need the nuances.
They've.

703
00:37:53,480 --> 00:37:57,240
Edited Wikipedia, Dante are the
best.

704
00:37:58,680 --> 00:38:02,080
So is there anything in the show
that didn't work for you?

705
00:38:02,560 --> 00:38:05,840
Like was there something that
really was like hurdle or like

706
00:38:06,200 --> 00:38:09,240
just kind of left you, like you
can take it or leave it?

707
00:38:09,680 --> 00:38:12,320
I think that, like I said
before, some of the pacing was a

708
00:38:12,320 --> 00:38:16,920
bit of a problem for me.
I also think not all of them,

709
00:38:16,920 --> 00:38:20,640
but one or two of the characters
felt a little one-dimensional to

710
00:38:20,640 --> 00:38:23,200
me.
So someone like dimension,

711
00:38:23,480 --> 00:38:27,160
someone like Wade felt very
one-dimensional to me.

712
00:38:27,440 --> 00:38:32,160
He just like existed as he was.
We don't know how he got to

713
00:38:32,160 --> 00:38:35,480
where he is.
We don't know how he knows all

714
00:38:35,480 --> 00:38:38,840
this stuff, OK?
I will just say I love a shadow

715
00:38:38,840 --> 00:38:41,720
organization.
I love give me all of the

716
00:38:41,720 --> 00:38:44,240
acronym organizations and stuff
like this.

717
00:38:44,960 --> 00:38:46,720
Yeah, I mean he he played the
character right.

718
00:38:46,720 --> 00:38:48,640
It's like it wasn't nothing
anything new.

719
00:38:48,720 --> 00:38:49,640
I I agree.
Sorry.

720
00:38:49,680 --> 00:38:52,960
I just wanted to say that like I
love the organization of it all.

721
00:38:53,120 --> 00:38:54,400
I.
Think it's cool that there's

722
00:38:54,400 --> 00:38:57,480
some secret organization that's
looking at the planet to save

723
00:38:57,480 --> 00:38:58,760
them?
Definitely.

724
00:38:58,760 --> 00:39:02,520
But I I just thought that that
character like I don't know why

725
00:39:02,520 --> 00:39:05,640
he had so much power.
I don't know how he understands

726
00:39:05,640 --> 00:39:09,000
physics and also.
Does he I?

727
00:39:09,000 --> 00:39:13,280
Don't know, but he was the OK.
Oh, so I had a thought about

728
00:39:13,280 --> 00:39:17,360
him, though I'm probably
completely wrong because of the.

729
00:39:17,360 --> 00:39:20,520
OK, so here's the truth.
I fell asleep on the last

730
00:39:20,520 --> 00:39:24,440
episode, so I missed the last,
like 20 minutes.

731
00:39:24,440 --> 00:39:28,160
And so I had this theory before
I watched it where I thought

732
00:39:28,160 --> 00:39:31,840
that maybe he was part of the
Santee because he just knew

733
00:39:31,840 --> 00:39:36,520
things like, even when he was
like, we need something lighter

734
00:39:36,520 --> 00:39:39,640
to go in the ship.
Well, you know what I mean?

735
00:39:39,640 --> 00:39:42,880
I was like, what?
Like he just knows everything.

736
00:39:42,880 --> 00:39:45,280
Well, I think that's like the
that's him, right.

737
00:39:45,280 --> 00:39:49,360
Like he, he is able to, in a way
kind of be like, yeah.

738
00:39:50,040 --> 00:39:53,560
Of like making those hard
decisions of like, yeah, this is

739
00:39:53,560 --> 00:39:55,560
what we need.
I've already been testing this

740
00:39:55,560 --> 00:39:58,320
thing us as a human race, even
though we can't advance our

741
00:39:58,320 --> 00:40:00,840
technology.
And it's been a lie for the last

742
00:40:00,840 --> 00:40:04,680
60 years, we've been able to
perfect hibernation.

743
00:40:05,120 --> 00:40:06,920
So oh, how are we going to spy
on them?

744
00:40:06,920 --> 00:40:11,200
Let's send a brain up there.
You know, like, I I didn't buy

745
00:40:11,200 --> 00:40:12,800
it when he was like, I'm going
to go up there.

746
00:40:12,800 --> 00:40:15,320
I'm like you're a liar.
Like you're going to but you're

747
00:40:15,320 --> 00:40:17,720
also going to hibernate.
I agree with that, but I don't

748
00:40:17,720 --> 00:40:19,360
think you're you were going to
go up there ever.

749
00:40:19,440 --> 00:40:20,320
He's.
Like I just want to live

750
00:40:20,320 --> 00:40:23,160
forever.
But I mean, Liam Cunningham,

751
00:40:23,760 --> 00:40:25,960
Game of Thrones alone?
Oh yeah, amazing.

752
00:40:26,160 --> 00:40:27,240
Just wanted to put that out
there.

753
00:40:27,760 --> 00:40:30,120
Fantastic in Game of Thrones.
Delightful in this.

754
00:40:30,480 --> 00:40:32,680
I just thought this character
wasn't as strong as his Game of

755
00:40:32,680 --> 00:40:33,520
Thrones I.
Agree.

756
00:40:33,520 --> 00:40:36,560
And I I think the one thing that
didn't work for me was Augie.

757
00:40:36,840 --> 00:40:39,880
I thought actor, great.
The character itself, I was just

758
00:40:39,880 --> 00:40:42,400
like, OK, like you created the
nano fibers.

759
00:40:42,400 --> 00:40:46,240
I think the most compelling part
of her was to deal with what her

760
00:40:46,240 --> 00:40:49,800
life's work has done.
And then like, nobody like

761
00:40:49,800 --> 00:40:51,960
understanding why she's
grappling with this.

762
00:40:51,960 --> 00:40:55,320
I thought was great, but that
was like a very small portion

763
00:40:55,600 --> 00:40:58,440
because then once that happens,
it's gone, right?

764
00:40:58,440 --> 00:41:00,160
It came to Mexico.
So that was, what was it?

765
00:41:00,160 --> 00:41:01,640
I agree.
That was what was interesting

766
00:41:01,640 --> 00:41:04,000
about that character.
And it almost felt like that

767
00:41:04,000 --> 00:41:06,600
thing that you set up before
about some of the mysteries and

768
00:41:06,600 --> 00:41:08,240
how they were just solved and
then disappeared.

769
00:41:08,440 --> 00:41:10,760
I felt like she was similar to
that, right?

770
00:41:10,760 --> 00:41:13,720
She was like very integral in
the first episode, In the second

771
00:41:13,720 --> 00:41:16,440
episode.
And then once Panama happened,

772
00:41:16,440 --> 00:41:19,160
she was like goodbye, you know,
that was really it.

773
00:41:19,640 --> 00:41:22,520
So I I agree that that
character, I think, fell a

774
00:41:22,520 --> 00:41:24,320
little flat for me as well.
Yeah.

775
00:41:25,040 --> 00:41:29,640
Overall, I think great.
I I I very much liked it.

776
00:41:29,640 --> 00:41:32,040
I think they did a good job of
adapting it.

777
00:41:32,040 --> 00:41:34,600
It's hard.
I I can understand why this

778
00:41:34,600 --> 00:41:38,360
would be very intimidating.
But also we've gotten like two

779
00:41:38,360 --> 00:41:41,400
other adaptations.
I think there's an animated show

780
00:41:41,400 --> 00:41:44,640
maybe I could be wrong on that,
but it's like one of those

781
00:41:44,640 --> 00:41:48,680
things where it's like, OK, the
things that seemed unadaptable

782
00:41:49,160 --> 00:41:52,520
might actually be adaptable.
Now you just have to make it

783
00:41:52,520 --> 00:41:55,080
like, comprehensible for general
audiences.

784
00:41:55,080 --> 00:42:00,000
And I think that you can see why
they made some of those changes

785
00:42:00,000 --> 00:42:05,280
to like, make it like a show
that most people would enjoy,

786
00:42:05,360 --> 00:42:08,000
yeah.
And I I think really creating

787
00:42:08,000 --> 00:42:11,360
those human relationships and
giving the Oxford 5 those back

788
00:42:11,360 --> 00:42:15,320
stories was definitely helpful
in grounding it a little bit

789
00:42:15,520 --> 00:42:19,000
instead of just being one person
doing a whole bunch of science.

790
00:42:19,120 --> 00:42:20,920
Yeah, you know, we got to meet
these other people.

791
00:42:20,960 --> 00:42:23,320
Is there like a science thing
that happened or like one of the

792
00:42:23,320 --> 00:42:25,800
big things like the staircase or
the boat and stuff like that?

793
00:42:25,800 --> 00:42:28,360
Is there just one of your
favourites?

794
00:42:28,360 --> 00:42:31,400
Like, what is your favorite one
that happened or you thought was

795
00:42:31,400 --> 00:42:33,920
like a cool sciency thing thing,
I thought.

796
00:42:33,920 --> 00:42:36,920
That the the staircase was a
cool sciency thing?

797
00:42:36,920 --> 00:42:42,400
I think so.
I I struggle with dealing with

798
00:42:42,400 --> 00:42:44,600
death in the afterlife and
thinking about it.

799
00:42:44,600 --> 00:42:49,320
Death scares me very much.
And so I keep thinking about

800
00:42:49,320 --> 00:42:53,960
Will's brain.
Yeah, and that scares the shit

801
00:42:53,960 --> 00:42:57,640
out of me because what state of
being is he in?

802
00:42:58,200 --> 00:43:00,960
And now that's it.
I.

803
00:43:00,960 --> 00:43:01,440
Mean.
Yeah.

804
00:43:01,440 --> 00:43:04,240
It's like, I think the thing
that hit me with that

805
00:43:04,560 --> 00:43:08,000
particularly is when he's
talking to Saul in the bed now,

806
00:43:08,000 --> 00:43:09,920
where he has to answer those
questions of like, yes, for

807
00:43:09,920 --> 00:43:12,960
sure.
I want to do this is that like

808
00:43:13,200 --> 00:43:17,000
Saul is like trying to give him
scenarios of like, what if they

809
00:43:17,000 --> 00:43:19,920
do get you and then they
reanimate you or whatever?

810
00:43:19,920 --> 00:43:22,960
And he's like, OK then I'm then
I am what I am.

811
00:43:22,960 --> 00:43:25,000
He's like, what if you're a pet?
He's like, then I am what I am.

812
00:43:25,280 --> 00:43:29,440
What if you don't make it there?
He's like, I'm dead anyway and

813
00:43:29,440 --> 00:43:33,200
it but like, the thought of the
possibility of any of those

814
00:43:33,200 --> 00:43:37,640
happening is like, oh shit.
But now he's just there.

815
00:43:37,840 --> 00:43:42,920
He's out there and like the the
concept of isolation that the

816
00:43:42,920 --> 00:43:48,440
show does, even though it's on
such a huge scale, is very kudos

817
00:43:48,440 --> 00:43:51,000
to them for doing that.
And that particular one is

818
00:43:51,120 --> 00:43:53,360
terrifying, yeah.
It really scares me.

819
00:43:53,560 --> 00:43:58,200
And I, you know, in my mind, I
guess the cryogenic freezing at

820
00:43:58,200 --> 00:44:01,680
some point will just run out
maybe, and then he'll die.

821
00:44:01,880 --> 00:44:04,360
Maybe.
He's already dead, right is.

822
00:44:04,360 --> 00:44:08,040
He though he's frozen in a state
of not dead and not alive well.

823
00:44:08,040 --> 00:44:11,120
I think Jen had said it's like
not another like 5 million years

824
00:44:11,120 --> 00:44:14,160
or something like that before.
He's like out of the solar

825
00:44:14,160 --> 00:44:15,680
system.
It's like goodbye.

826
00:44:16,240 --> 00:44:21,760
No the the sciency thing.
We're scientists.

827
00:44:21,760 --> 00:44:25,720
We know.
We are Twice's version of

828
00:44:25,720 --> 00:44:27,920
scientists.
We are K pop scientists.

829
00:44:28,200 --> 00:44:35,040
That I I Can't Dance, that I
really liked is the Sofon thing

830
00:44:35,520 --> 00:44:39,720
in that they were able to
completely stop science and the

831
00:44:39,720 --> 00:44:44,320
progression of it, and so much
so that for 60 years scientists

832
00:44:44,320 --> 00:44:47,000
just thought, this isn't
working, this isn't working.

833
00:44:47,200 --> 00:44:50,240
Like science is broken.
How am I going to know why

834
00:44:50,920 --> 00:44:52,800
outside force doing it?
That is terrifying.

835
00:44:53,040 --> 00:44:57,600
Because it's like if somebody
here thought of that, what if

836
00:44:57,600 --> 00:45:01,800
somebody out there thought of
the same thing or worse and it's

837
00:45:01,800 --> 00:45:04,240
like happening now.
Maybe that's why we don't have

838
00:45:04,240 --> 00:45:07,080
flying cars by this time.
I don't know.

839
00:45:07,480 --> 00:45:08,680
Thanks for nothing.
It's.

840
00:45:08,680 --> 00:45:09,800
Scary.
Yeah.

841
00:45:09,800 --> 00:45:10,920
No, it is really.
Scary.

842
00:45:11,160 --> 00:45:14,600
And the fact that it's not even,
I mean, it even goes beyond

843
00:45:14,600 --> 00:45:16,880
that, right?
They can put themselves in our

844
00:45:16,880 --> 00:45:20,600
minds, they can make us see
things, They can make the stars

845
00:45:20,600 --> 00:45:22,240
blink.
They just have total control

846
00:45:22,240 --> 00:45:25,080
over us.
And it's 1984, dystopian because

847
00:45:25,080 --> 00:45:26,720
they're watching us all the
time.

848
00:45:27,240 --> 00:45:30,600
The only thing they can't see
inside is our thoughts our.

849
00:45:30,640 --> 00:45:32,920
Brains, wall facers, that's
where it all comes in, which is

850
00:45:32,920 --> 00:45:35,440
such an interesting and so cool
concept.

851
00:45:35,440 --> 00:45:39,000
There's just like, even if like,
you're not jiving with the show,

852
00:45:39,000 --> 00:45:41,200
which I feel like it's going to
be hit or miss for a lot of

853
00:45:41,200 --> 00:45:45,000
people.
Like, I I first five episodes,

854
00:45:45,000 --> 00:45:48,120
I'm like, this is amazing.
Didn't struggle, but I was just

855
00:45:48,120 --> 00:45:51,160
like, OK, OK, OK, OK for the
other ones.

856
00:45:51,480 --> 00:45:55,800
But the concepts of all of them
are so intriguing to think

857
00:45:55,800 --> 00:45:57,200
about, especially the wall
facers.

858
00:45:57,200 --> 00:46:00,680
It's like, OK, they can know
everything, They're everywhere,

859
00:46:01,040 --> 00:46:05,600
but they can't read your mind.
So we're going to pick people

860
00:46:05,720 --> 00:46:08,680
that are never going to tell
anybody what they're planning.

861
00:46:09,120 --> 00:46:11,560
That's terrifying and really
cool at the same time.

862
00:46:11,560 --> 00:46:16,800
I want an entire episode of Saul
just thinking about stuff, just

863
00:46:16,800 --> 00:46:18,320
sitting.
In that meditation room, just.

864
00:46:18,920 --> 00:46:21,360
Just like.
Snickering to himself, I got the

865
00:46:21,360 --> 00:46:29,680
best plan.
OK, so wrapping it up, I hope we

866
00:46:29,680 --> 00:46:32,520
get another season.
From what I've read and from

867
00:46:32,520 --> 00:46:38,320
what I have heard, the next two
books are insane and there's so

868
00:46:38,320 --> 00:46:40,520
much more that happens in them.
First book was more like a

869
00:46:40,520 --> 00:46:43,360
prologue leading up to it.
So there's some things that I've

870
00:46:43,360 --> 00:46:44,960
already read I'm very excited to
see.

871
00:46:44,960 --> 00:46:48,560
I hope it gets a second season.
Go watch it if you haven't.

872
00:46:48,560 --> 00:46:50,800
Watched it.
I don't necessarily think that

873
00:46:50,800 --> 00:46:54,400
this is for everyone and I think
that you should go into it with

874
00:46:54,400 --> 00:46:58,840
an open mind and not expecting,
you know, the big.

875
00:46:59,600 --> 00:47:01,920
The star.
Wars thing, right?

876
00:47:02,080 --> 00:47:05,200
I think that if you really take
it in and think about it, you

877
00:47:05,200 --> 00:47:07,000
can appreciate it more, which is
what I did.

878
00:47:07,240 --> 00:47:11,480
And I really am interested in
knowing what happens next

879
00:47:11,480 --> 00:47:16,040
because there's this period of
400 years and in in I'm just

880
00:47:16,040 --> 00:47:18,040
going, is there going to be a
time jump?

881
00:47:18,040 --> 00:47:20,960
Are we ever going to see them
come or is it always just going

882
00:47:20,960 --> 00:47:23,120
to be this lead up of everyone
panicking?

883
00:47:23,160 --> 00:47:25,760
It's.
Like a race of a race to find

884
00:47:25,760 --> 00:47:27,120
out.
Like, do we escape?

885
00:47:27,200 --> 00:47:29,880
Do we fight?
How do we prevent it when we

886
00:47:29,880 --> 00:47:31,680
can't even advance our own
technology?

887
00:47:31,680 --> 00:47:34,920
Like, yeah, it's crazy you.
Know and the fact that they

888
00:47:34,920 --> 00:47:40,840
killed two of the Oxford Five,
it makes me feel like, well, we

889
00:47:40,840 --> 00:47:44,080
might not win this one.
Might not.

890
00:47:44,240 --> 00:47:45,040
I guess.
We'll see.

891
00:47:45,040 --> 00:47:46,800
We're all bugs.
But you know what?

892
00:47:47,720 --> 00:47:51,560
Bugs can survive anything.
They're always.

893
00:47:51,600 --> 00:47:53,600
Beetles.
Mosquitoes.

894
00:47:53,720 --> 00:47:55,840
Why dung beetles the 1st?
One, they're all poop.

895
00:47:56,560 --> 00:47:58,640
OK, everybody.
'S like EW poop and they're like

896
00:47:58,640 --> 00:48:01,840
watch this, we could be poop
rollers.

897
00:48:02,360 --> 00:48:04,400
Like we are.
In the grand scheme of things,

898
00:48:04,400 --> 00:48:06,520
you're right.
You're you're right.

899
00:48:06,520 --> 00:48:13,200
So if I had to rate it, I get a
four, four to five visually

900
00:48:13,200 --> 00:48:17,800
great stylish sciency as hell.
Made me believe that all of

901
00:48:17,800 --> 00:48:20,560
these people were geniuses and
we didn't get the whole in

902
00:48:20,560 --> 00:48:21,960
English.
Please, I hate that.

903
00:48:22,360 --> 00:48:24,160
I hate that.
When somebody's supposed to be

904
00:48:24,160 --> 00:48:25,920
smart, it just completely takes
me out of it.

905
00:48:26,320 --> 00:48:31,360
And we didn't get that once.
So that's kudos to that great

906
00:48:31,360 --> 00:48:34,000
adaptation.
I liked it 5.

907
00:48:34,120 --> 00:48:36,480
Four out of five out of five,
Four out of five out.

908
00:48:36,520 --> 00:48:38,160
Of five?
Yeah, that's physics.

909
00:48:40,040 --> 00:48:45,120
I think for me, I initially upon
finishing it I think was going

910
00:48:45,120 --> 00:48:49,800
to give it a 2 1/2, but after
thinking about it and talking

911
00:48:49,800 --> 00:48:51,600
about it, I'm going to give it a
solid 30.

912
00:48:52,000 --> 00:48:52,480
Nice.
OK.

913
00:48:52,520 --> 00:48:55,880
Yeah, that's.
I was really worried because we

914
00:48:55,880 --> 00:48:58,680
have our different likes, right?
And it's like I'm very I can sit

915
00:48:58,680 --> 00:49:02,120
with something that is like kind
of boring or whatever.

916
00:49:02,120 --> 00:49:05,040
Not to say you wouldn't, but
it's just like what we usually

917
00:49:05,040 --> 00:49:07,080
read and stuff like that.
And like when I was reading the

918
00:49:07,080 --> 00:49:09,640
book I was like, oh man, I'm
really interested to see what

919
00:49:09,640 --> 00:49:13,200
he's going to think of this.
And I was, I was happy that you

920
00:49:13,200 --> 00:49:15,920
open mind and you enjoyed it for
the most part.

921
00:49:15,920 --> 00:49:18,520
Well.
It's interesting because we had

922
00:49:18,520 --> 00:49:20,880
watched the first two episodes
separately.

923
00:49:21,320 --> 00:49:23,120
You were away at a conference
and I was home.

924
00:49:23,600 --> 00:49:26,280
And so we we did talk about it.
And what was so interesting is

925
00:49:26,280 --> 00:49:29,600
that I felt like these these
first two episodes, they were

926
00:49:30,520 --> 00:49:34,440
there was a slow build up there,
but I always wanted to watch the

927
00:49:34,440 --> 00:49:37,040
next one.
And so that's the thing while I

928
00:49:37,040 --> 00:49:40,040
was like kind of like wishing it
was going a little faster, I

929
00:49:40,040 --> 00:49:41,560
always wanted to know what
happened next.

930
00:49:41,560 --> 00:49:42,240
Right.
Right.

931
00:49:42,280 --> 00:49:47,720
And so I think that is something
that is a great thing about the

932
00:49:47,720 --> 00:49:50,360
series, is that it keeps making
you want to watch it.

933
00:49:50,520 --> 00:49:53,000
Yeah.
So let us know what you thought.

934
00:49:53,240 --> 00:49:55,400
Yeah, let us know your favorite
thing, Your least favorite

935
00:49:55,400 --> 00:49:57,080
thing.
What confused you the most?

936
00:49:57,080 --> 00:49:59,160
Do.
You Are you able to explain the

937
00:49:59,160 --> 00:50:02,480
science better to us than we
have today?

938
00:50:02,520 --> 00:50:05,160
Please.
Do hey and also our mailbox is

939
00:50:05,160 --> 00:50:07,160
always open, so if you want to
write something a little longer

940
00:50:07,160 --> 00:50:11,640
or just like e-mail ABO
nibblesgmail.com that's always

941
00:50:11,640 --> 00:50:13,160
open.
Well, hope to hear from your

942
00:50:13,160 --> 00:50:14,960
friends.
All right.

943
00:50:15,040 --> 00:50:16,880
So till next time.
Till next time.

944
00:50:17,240 --> 00:50:17,840
Goodbye.
Bye.
