Season 2 please.
Netflix needs to give this rare script a second season to grow its fanbase, not just looking at immediate views in 2 weeks. It can never be as easy to digest as Stranger Things or Wednesday, but the producer has a correct plan that is working. Season 2 will get to the best part which is the dark forest theory and Netflix needs to see the clear potential, it can reach the size of Black Mirror.
With s1 budget? How much more would D&D need for s2 to 4? This is just to risky. I hope there is at least a s2 like Altered Carbon.
Facts, if they don't allow for the story to finish being told, I'm going to be royally pissed off. 🤬 Those 2 losers (the showrunners) finally made up for their major GoT catastrophe, so I don't want the studio making problems & ruining the show, when they're actually doing a great job at adapting the story. It's only a trilogy. If Netflix can't handle telling a story that spans 3 f*cking books, they might as well pack it in & give up.
@@snowshock8958 Altered Carbon S2 was boring.
That shot of the paper chain the kids made was chilling, great way to show the kids dying rather than put it in our face
Liam OWNED the final half of the season
For real!!!! He did absolutely fantastic with this role. Such a commanding presence every time he is on screen, loved every bit of it
no offense but netflix horrible job at promoting this show. it deserved better promotion that it got.
it’s number 1 on the platform so…
Tell everyone you know to watch it then. It lives or dies on word of mouth and by God do we need to see the whole thing.
@@bloodaonadeline8346 No thanks to Netflix! I happened on it mostly out of end-stage-capitalism boredom, started watching it without having any idea what it was about, hoping for tolerable mediocrity, but expecting garbage.
@@joshwager end stage capitalism? Oh boy you’re one of those. Just complaining to complain yet you live in the most prosperous society ever created and all you can focus on is negativity. Goto church.
@@joshwager oh “end stage capitalism” that’s not an overused meaningless term at all. Nobody experienced boredom before free trade existed. Also, nice work deleting my previous comment criticizing this CZcams😂😂
The Judgment Day scene was astonishing, among the most impressively executed horror sequences I've seen. Also, as someone who had to look away at a couple of parts because I didn't want nightmares, I appreciated the slow build-up to people getting cut down, because it gave me due warning to look away at the right moment, while still enjoying the creeping horror of the visuals leading up to it, the practical effects the director talked about make the sequence work so well!
Why did they gotta put children on the ship though. That wasn’t in the book
@@Evifroureehrt They are trying to make the ETO more nuanced as antagonists as well as revealing how the government organization Thomas Wade leads will do anything to protect humanity even if it means committing atrocities and crimes against humanity. Also, this episode starts showing that the governments are no different than the enemy they are fighting which becomes a huge factor in the third book.
But why wouldn’t the ship crew be unable to see (2) inexplicably upright steel beams jutting up out of the canal in their path even from a good distance away?
@@hellfish2309 It's explained in the dialogue when Varma is setting it up.
@@Evifroureehrt To raise the stakes.
That judgement day scene really shows the power of technology, it’s a very Oppenheimer moment when you realize you have created something truly horrific. If that tech truly existed… it would be just as game changing as the invention of gun powder.
Still not as deadly than the Bomb itself
@@snowshock8958 Id disagree. The tech here can't even be seen and it slices you to the molecule. All I kept thinking was if it malfunctions it would be a nightmare.
@@Lonelyeco exactly, I alone could think up dozens of potential weapons for the nanofiber using drones or mines… what could a military strategist think up? It’s not just about how many people it can end but more about the shock and terror of not being able to see it coming.
OMFG WE THOUGHT WE WERE DOING THE FIRST EPISODE ONLY but NOW 8 hours later WE ONLY JUST FINISH THE WHOLE SERIES BINGE !
WE'RE SO HOOKED it's clever it's brutal it's honest
WE WANT 3 BODY ii & iii SOON WE WANT IT NOW it's THAT GOOD !!!!!! 🤣😍🤣
You can throw the driest thing in the universe and Benedict Wong and Liam Cunningham will instantly bring - or rehydrate - it to life.
Love, love these two fine actors.
Sophon unfolding scenes were mental
Puts into perspective how truly screwed we are if aliens that have the technology to reach us are not visiting us on friendly pretenses.
If you think folding dimensions is amazing, wait until you see dimension collapse. And discover the greatest secret of the universe in Season 2.
Banane
That was one of the most epic and horrifying scenes I've ever seen on screen. It was Ghost Ship times 1000. So glad this series didn't disappoint.
Marlo Kelly was such a scene-stealer in the short-lived cheerleader series Dare Me, and she does just as well as Tatiana.
Something about her performance inspires terror, even in her early appearances when she's being friendly, before we see what she is capable of, it's just so uncanny.
@@travellerinthedark Yeah since she was portrayed as mysterious. We did not know if she was like an alien pretending to be human or not. And she has quite a youthful and cute appearance which made her even more odd.
Her performance here reminds me of Megan (Liv Tyler) in the Leftovers
Take it from HARD CORE fan of the books. You did great. Really great.
I loved what the liberties they took with the books and how they adapted it. Loved this season
The irony for Auggie as a scientist: the first time her invention was applied in real life, it was being utilized as a mass killing machine...
This episode! 🤯
This episode was the best the show had
The eye in the sky is brilliant idea, remind me of the Sauron from the Load of the Ring; I think this change is great for wester viewers to understand the "bad" side represetation.
It’s actually based on something was different in the book, and the implications are terrifying.
Holy shit this episode was amazing! One of the best episode of television I’ve seen in recent years.
This series is an incredible storytelling achievement. It takes you on an amazing journey that stays true to its original story. More than just an adaptation, it deeply explores what the future could hold, including the chance of meeting beings from other planets. It asks big questions about whether we should try to contact aliens and what we need to think about if we do. The series also brings a unique kind of fear, not from scary things but from the huge, mysterious universe around us. This fear, mixed with wonder and the unknown, makes the show more than just entertaining-it's a thought-provoking look at what lies beyond our world and how we fit into the vastness of space.
My favorite episode for sure! Cant wait to see that one scene from Dark Forest in season 2. If you know, you know.
The oldest weapon in naval combat. Ramming.
"if i destroy you, what business is it of yours"
“the most horrifying was what happened to the Xia and Einstein, its respective crews were flattened on the hangar and squished in spherical cabins as they tried to hyper accelerate without entering deep sea state…but the droplet caught up destroyed their lifeless cargoes anyways”
This comment brought a teardrop to my eye.
@@eternal_napalm6442 Lol.
I find it funny that Thomas Wade is my favorite character of the show so far. The man seems to be the only one who really grasps the gravity of the situation facing the world and always seems like he's thinking in terms of what's to come centuries down the line. Not just the centuries leading up to the arrival of the San-Ti/Trisolarians but what happens after.
Had to scrape my jaw off the floor after watching this episode. It just keeps going and going and going and going. Absolutely off the deep end. Loved it.
Nanofiber tech is truly horrifying, and that sequence. The children...
That was the most gory scene I've seen in a while.
The ship scene makes the Red Wedding look like a tea party.
I NEED A SEASON 2 NOWWWW NETFLIX DONT SLEEP ON THIS
We need season 2. I can’t wait to see how you guys explain dark forest theory.
Liam Cuningham is the best part of this show.
Episode 5 reminded me a lot of the Red Wedding in Game Of Thrones. Not a surprise given that it’s made by some of the same people.
Oooo you are in for a good suprise, there are multiple red wedding scenes in upcoming seasons lol
@@lileenleen also the Blood and Cheese from House of Dragons season 2 gonna be worse than red wedding
The books are dark, scenes like this is a must
I am a normal person and have definitely laughed and cried at the same time. It tends to happen in extreme grief.
Can’t wait for season 2 with more cool epic scenes
You did a good job at adapting! I am really hooked and as a fan of the books I think you blended well the book material with the show. The score reminds me of Westworld in a way but more exciting haha Also i don´t know if it was a coincidence or it was a link to GoT but the parallels between leave one wolf alive and the sheep are never safe with if one of us survives, we all survive was amazing! I am hyped for a second season.
This show was AMAZING!!!
Amazing episode! All of the cast are incredible performers.
Please renew for seasons 2 & 3. This show is definitely in the top 10 of TV ever made.
This is my favorite episode
As someone who read the books, I am impressed with the adaptation. Some of the main story beats are there and I was very happy to see it come to screen
Didn't think they would try the Judgement Day scene but they did it the optics were insane
I really like this show and that judgement day scene is one of the best i have ever seen on screen. Good Job by the entire team.
Favorite episode
Great episode. Great way to introduce the concept of the 10 dimensions the universe originally had before life started destroying them. Looking forward to the scene from Death's End from the entity that enjoys to "foil" things while singing.
HAHA Exactly!
I'd be interested in how they portray the entity who's trapped, surround by our 3d (spacial dimension) world.
They also did a great job integrating the Chain of Suspicion.
"You are bugs" on screens was a brilliant idea. Much better than floating text in people's vision. Even the countdown should have been done like this. It would have seemed more plausible. The blinking sky could also would have been flickering electricity and electronic devices across the whole world - just as epic and terrifying but more plausible.
D&D once again proved they are great at adapting written material for the screen, as terrible as they are when working without source material.
Cruise sequence is terribly gruesome. This series had some mind-twinning scientifical theories. Nano -fibre technology, Sophon and Trisolarians! Uff! So intrigued and we want DARK FOREST!
this episode was horrific, DO IT AGAIN
They will ;) you don’t know what is coming in season 2
As a fan of the original, there are a number of change that I don't agree with, but I think this episode is passable. GJ!
i love this showww and im sad that i have to wait for season 2
The ship scene was really cool but it was sort of insane how only a single character was really bothered at all by the brutal indiscriminate dismemberment of hundreds of men women children old people lol
We need Kublai Khan back!!
This episode had me shook
we want season 2
Watched the whole of season 1. Hope they get a thumbs up for S2.
Great show
It would have been apt to have the Alan Parsons Project in the background during the Eye in the Sky scene.
Benedict Wong's character got the same wibe as Wong from MCU and I love it
Wait of the season 2❤🎉
Anyone else get Ghost Ship vibes? thats all i could think of watching the judgment scene, exactly like the scene in ghost ship, everyone cut in half on a large ship, not knowing whats happening.
I found the idea of using two pairs of entangled particles as a way of communicating from the trisolarans to the sophons to be be a very weak scifi concept. In quantum networking it takes two pairs of entangled particles to transmit only a single bit of information. And once the bit is sent by performing a measurement the wavefunctions of the particle collapse and they cannot be reused to send another bit. In order to send another bit the trisolarians would need to send two more halves of two more entangled pairs in order for another bit to be sent. This would be very slow. The concept in the book completely misunderstands the nature of quantum entanglement. Now, if they were to send billions of entangled particles from the start, that would work very well. And they wouldn't even have to be sophons. They could send unentangled sophons first and then send the billions of normal entangled particles and then have the sophons use this particles as a quantum network. Of course, this would require the trisolarians to have a way of keeping the entangled particles from unentangling along the long journey, which the particles really want to do, and quickly. But that is not theoretically impossible, just extremely difficult. But I did like the idea of expanding the space in the hidden, wrapped up dimensions of the sophon particle. I thought this was a very clever idea.
I am enjoying this series very much. Great cast, well-directed, looks great.
I agree with others the marketing was almost nonexistent. First heard about this last year then nothing until i saw it when i logged into netflix and saw it. Wouldn’t have any idea what it was if i wasn’t into science fiction.
Stop to make those appetizing "go inside episode" series! Go make Season 2 and Season 3 NOW, please!!! We really want to be able to watch those SO BADLY!
The tropes though 🙄. Highjacking all the screens to demonstrate control has been done a million times. And the ship-shredder sequence brought too many early 2000s horror movies to mind, not least of all being Ghost Ship.
1. Have you noticed how much people look at screens nowadays? It'd be unrealistic for them to do anything else.
2. I vaguely recall a couple "egg slicer" scenes from the '90s and '00s... but never anything as extended, engrossing, shocking and well-executed. How can you watch that scene and roll your eyes and think, "Boooooring! Seen that already!"??? Not trying to be a jerk.
Can someone explain me, why they decided to destroy the Judgement Day on this way? They should infiltrate it instead in my opinion to decrease the casualities.
the book has your answer
the hard drives are hostage onboard the ship, how do you rescue the hard drive in 1 piece is the question. infiltration could cause a bloodbath, and give time for them to destroy the hard drive
@@haowu6749 " infiltration could cause a bloodbath" yea, and the nano blades don't cause a bloodbath...
also we saw jonathan pryce character had enough time to get the hard drive. So theoretically he also could destroy the hard drive. And how they ensure that the nano blades don't destroy the hard drive?
@@MarkusKnoebel yeh it wasn't that, its that an infiltration would either destroy the trisolaran data, or that its relatively slow so they'd delete such data before it was retrieved. Even if you cut through a hard drive with nano fibers its also such a clean cut that it can be repaired. hence 'operation guzheng'
@@MarkusKnoebel by bloodbath, they mean that their men could also die. out of the options, they thought the nanofibre option is the most quite and clean. In the book there is more detail about the choice, such as time of the day, and space between each fibre
Wade IS THE GOOD GUY that does bad things SO I DONT HAVE TO. Like Jack Bauer from '24'
4:58
just film a bunch of people around the world getting shocked, slouching and touching their eyes and show a couple pov's of the sophon message. Easy.
they managed it in the Tencent version. It takes away from the cosmic horror because it could easily just be 'hacking' and not the godlike powers of a sophon for someone to do this. what else did they change? The stars blink rather than the CMB? That the trisolarans accidentally genocide a whole pocket dimension universe of beings when trying to unfold a proton?
Judgment day = Red wedding
But how again did they manage this tech if they have to start anew and anew?
From Sophon's narration, that process took millions of years for them. They were certainly very stable-era dependants and also might have been able to go through the some rough eras but not for long.
I thing she tries to make pretty clear that they only got where they are because they are a race incapable to lie to each other. That fact might have gotten them really far not only in technological terms (with every technology being shared) but also on a societal basis(hence the "if one of us survive, we all survive") at the point of non-coexistence with the human race.
Yet, they are still bounded by the fact that they need another planet to live. So, with the universe being a hostile place and space travel being a possible waste of resources (given that not everyone could come and that
it takes a lot of time from one place to another even at their stage), Earth's "invitation" was a real icing on the cake.
Even so, Earth's technological catch-up process could leave them stranded in space.
@@IronHideBR Yeah but in the series (ep5) it was stated that they are thrown back completely when an unstable era occurs. Does the book say that they sometime started to record their progress for the new generations to find again? Or were they just able to build those ships&siphons due to pure luck/having a somewhat long persistent era?
@@nalaya_shepard their offspring inherits their memory including scientific progress and history, that's part of the explanation from what I got from another vid on them on here
Seeing DnD again is giving me GoT flashbacks.
Of the last season
The ship crew kinda forgot they could see from a long distance those beams poking up outta the canal for no cotdam reason… 😑
Flashbacks of the biggest and most successful tv show in television history? Pretty good then.
@@poub06 it had its moments
Thomas Wade did nothing wrong 🤷♂️
Yup I'm team Wade all the way.
I was a bit perplexed by the Auggie character's repeated assertions that he's a fascist. He's more of a pragmatic... "humanist"
i mean, how could you see the stars blink on and off, watch a giant eye form in the sky, see 'YOU ARE BUGS' on every screen in the world and not cut the guy a little slack?
it's not like they put up: "WE'RE COMING TO YOUR PLANET BECAUSE WE NEED A PLACE TO LIVE, SORRY... WE'RE MUCH MORE ADVANCED SO THIS WILL FEEL LIKE AN INVASION OR CONQUEST BUT WE'LL DO OUR BEST TO COEXIST WITH YOU. LET'S TALK A BIT AND TRY TO WORK THINGS OUT BEFORE WE ARRIVE."
if they'd done that, i'd be.... yes, very anxious , but a little hopeful.
Dani kind of forgot about the Trisolaran fleet.
Those comments were funny for a week, back in 2019. You guys need to use your head a little to find new ways to get likes.
@@poub06 We weren't saying it because we found it funny.

The one thing I would say is missing is a strong younger cis Chinese decent male lead. At least there is Benedict Wong who is my hero. If he or someone like him wasn’t playing that role this show wouldn’t be worth watching for me.
Why wouldn’t the crew of the ship look down the canal on such a nice, clear day and immediately see (2) steel girders jutting up out of for no reason? Like it’s big expensive set piece and it’s supposed to impose the moral uncertainty of the military, but send in a 2-person infiltration team, nab the drive, and bail out in open water to be retrieved via beacon
1, Abandoned infrustructure is pretty common. Raj mentioned that "we want to make the poles look 30 years old", so they won't be suspicious.
2, Send the infiltration team, through what? A little boat? A submarine? Whatevery you send, the crew on the ship will be expecting it anyway.
3, We have no idea what the internal of the ship looks like. We don't know where the harddrive even is. The infiltration team needs to spend days on the ship just to figure that out.
@@tangrunhua 1) still a contrivance but given the volume of them on the show admittedly not the worst, 2) if they can slice the ship to ribbons, they can surely use its passage through the canal and duly lowered speed to board the ship from the water line, 3) 2 people to infiltrate a whole ship even w/ the limited intelligence they had minimizes the forfeit of the drive data to destruction much more than awesome new science they just freshly weaponized
I get that the writing needed the nanofibers as the ex machina in order to farm the drama, but from a tactical standpoint a lot of more immediately plausible options were discarded quicker than believable
@@hellfish2309 Da Shi said sending a team to infiltrate a place with so little intel that they have will be very risky, one false move the cult will noticed and destroyed the alien data that they wanted, and this is a ship of a close religion cult, a stranger couldn't blend that easily.
Why they choosed the nano fibers was discussed in the series, whether you are agree or not with their final decission
@@ericng7015 my point is it’s hard to believe they were observing risk management and prioritizing the salvage of the data by opting for a near indiscriminate slicing of the ship using an awesome new weaponized invention; make no mistake the set piece was good and shocking, but each demonstration of the nanofiber’s consequence on the ship highlights Wade’s negligence that they could have easily destroyed the drive w/ such an knowingly total destruction of the vessel
@@hellfish2309 This is explained in the book, and you can also infer from common sense: Harddrive restoration is a very mature technology even for us. In the book, an engineer basically said: "Since the cut is so clean, we can easily restore it even if it's cut in half by the string."
This is also why Evans didn't just smashed the harddrive on spot, and instead tried to bring it somewhere, because he knows the data can be restored if it's destroyed by conventional means, so he's probably bringing it to a place (Maybe a computer) where he can destory it thoroughly.
Slicing up kids, is this in the books ?
I'm sorry i don't think morality would really go out the window like that.
The show’s addicting but the writing is laughably bad at times. Could have cut a few characters too. Apple TV+ owns the sci fi area with the effects and production value, Netflix not so much
👎
This series is not for regular audiences as most of them will instantly get bored of it. Kudos to their efforts tho. For not adding unnecessarily woke elements. 😅
Yes. It has ethnic diversity, but it’s done in a very natural way.
Not surprised you've come to expect people getting bored easily, what with you constantly spouting off about 'woke'.
lol China is at the center of this story, the protagonists are a multirracial and international group of scientists where the women really take the lead. There is a gay character. Kudos for not getting “bored” by it. Maybe you’re finally getting used to diversity and accepting the reality of the world around you and how “woke” it actually is.
@@sebastiannw2 who is the gay character in the adaptation?
Turing @@snowshock8958
This show is an utter pile of crap. Boring as hell, dull characters with an implausible course of actions, stupid plot full of holes. Slicing the ship with nanofibers and hoping it won’t slice the recording. Aliens managed to send VR headset to Earth but it will take them 400 years to (allegedly) conquer it. And I spent 8 hrs of my life giving you the chance and not quitting after the first two episodes.
Guys, after you massacred GoT and turnd it into GoY (Game of Yawns) in the Season 7 and 8 you shouldn’t be doing any show anymore. Save all of us.
This series is beyond stupid. It's worse than Season 8. I had to bail after two episodes. It's really really THAT bad!
I saw David Benioff and Daniel Weiss and I IMMEDIATELY lost all interest in this show, even if I liked the books. I'm not gonna waste my time with anything they touch every again
Boohoo - i read all 3 books twice, love them to bits. Show was good, give it a try
Grow up
Dumb this show is really good
Perhaps if this show was based on an unfinished book series I might agree.
You aren't missing much. They sorta killed the tone of the story by cutting things like farmer/shooter. All the characters from the book that are wide-spread across space and time are now all just part of the same group of college friends who all know each other lol. Oh and they all work with/went to school with the daughter of the woman that started it all. Half the scenes are pointless girl talk between Auggie's obnoxious ass and Jin Cheng. They clearly wrote the show to appeal to as wide of an audience as possible, which is why all these basic bitches get so upset that you don't like it. They're too dumb to rise above the insecurity of someone disliking something they like.
They kinda forgot about the iron fleet though.
