Topic	Damn, the Netflix 3BP adaption is actually really solid.

There is no way they could "follow the source material" for 3 Bodies Problem. I haven't seen the series yet but I'm willing to bet there is a great deal of recontextualizing, reordering, and assumptions made to fill out the narrative for a more visual medium. For instance, how do you ~~give the exposition of the Sophon's 11 dimensional proton sized quantum super computer to a TV audience?~~ I'm probably hyperbolizing, but it felt like 30 pages worth of dialogue beating you over the head with computer science and theoretical quantum physics. I'm very science literate and even that had me taking a break to get my thoughts in order when reading it. 98% of TV audience will just become frustrated or confused as soon as they start talking about the 4th spatial dimension if they go by the original material. --- 'Cause you know that I have no fear, ain't gonna walk into the river and disappear. I'm gonna be a powerful man. Red blood running down the broken sand. <cite>Pogo_Marimo posted [p:979492256] in Damn, the ...
