3 BODY PROBLEM Season 1 Episode 1 "Countdown" First Time Watching Reaction/Review

The Dr. who committed suicide at the beginning, he didn't write all that with out eyeballs. He only wrote, "I still see it" with out eyeballs. Everything before that, he wrote before he cut out his eyes.

Great reaction video! 😊. FYI, the machine that Vera Ye jumped into the pool of water, that machine is a neutrino detector. The picture of the machine where Vera’s shadow walk across is the particle accelerator.

I like when reactors got the general knowledge of everything that is happening in the show.

"A secret shopper, but for the government." What an incredible analogy.

This pace of this season is like a version of The Expanse where they got to the Blue Falcon at the end of episode 4.

Just finished the season yesterday. It was phenomenal 🔥

The 3 Body Problem is a real thing. that Mathematicians and Physicists are working on.

The guy didn't give Ye Wenjie up. He lacked the courage to admit what he did.

The initial writing plan has been to tell the story in 4 seasons, which I think means they may need to slow down some. For a much slower (but more artful) experience, the Chinese version (Three-Body, 2023) tells book one in 30 full-length episodes!

Book Da Shi is actually called "Shi Qiang", Shi being his last name. Da Shi is just a nick name. Da means "Big", it's usually used for someone older than you and almost exclusively used for older male.

I just ended this season 5 minutes ago ! Now gonna watch y’alls reactions. But let me tell y’all this show is so fascinating good, but also emotion in a way! At the end I had no tears left 😂🫣

glad i found you, guys. really excited to follow this journey with you.

Sitting around the table are all good friends who were undergrads together.

The Cultural Revolution (CR) in China lasted from 1966 to 1976 (when Mao died). The People’s Republic of China was declared in 1949, so the CR started 17 years later, after many failed or disappointing attempts to move the nation foward. The stated goal of the CR was to eliminate the last remnants of what was thought to be Capitalism in Red China. It was a very chaotic time and ideological purity was a driving force. Also, Mao had been a bit ‘sidelined’ and many believe that this was a means for Mao to purge the party and use his unpredictability to keep firm control over the country. One of the features of the CR was a rejection of many Western ideas; modern physics, western political thought, and western art/literature were always targets. The theories of Relativity and Quantum Mechanics were often under fire by some very left or right leaning regimes even outside of China. One was never sure what ideas would be attacked next, so you could be fine one day and an outlaw the next. After Mao’s death, the CCP began to open the country up and China became what we see today. The kind of humiliation and violence depicted in the show did happen often. For those of us in the outside world, looking in, it was very difficult to know what was going on and what it meant.

It's an awesome show and an even more awesome reaction. Keep going.

In both the book and the Tencent series, Wang Miao is the central character, alongside Da Shi and Ye Wenjie, with Mike Evans appearing toward the end of the 30-episode arc. Netflix opted to switch Wang Miao's character to Augustina “Auggie” Salazar, and some of his interactions with the ETO, which are not named in this version, were given to Jin Cheng. Moreover, the Tencent series omitted the brutality of Ye Wenjie’s father due to CCP censorship, and her experience in the labor camp was extended without the aspect of her betrayal through sleeping with him. Instead, she was turned in for her handwritten letters, which he had manipulated her into writing. Regarding the VR headset, I'm unsure of its depiction in the book as I haven't read it, but the Tencent series features a contemporary device with an online invite-only system to play the game hosted by the ETO, whereas Netflix showcases alien technology. Additionally, Netflix rushes through the dense material with numerous bullet points.

great reaction, love it, keep going plz

for the characters. they do exist in the books, some of them are mixed and characters changed to appeal apart from the Tencent’s version. but these characters do exist in the book series.

Guys this is great reaction and discussion! Cant wait for the next episode

what confused me was that there was a convenient neutrino detector right next to the particle accelerator for Vera drop into. Usually you build the former deep inside mountains to shield it from any interference
