Who Speaks for Humanity? “3 Body Problem” (2024 TV Series) eps. 1-4

The first four episodes of Dan Weiss and David Benioff’s Netflix
adaptation of Liu Cixin’s novel THE THREE-BODY PROBLEM show
some promise, but they’ve burned us in the past so it’s hard to
get too excited. In episode 307, join Luke Elliott & James
Bailey as they propose humanity’s envoy for a first contact
scenario, discuss the choice to change Wang Maio into the Oxford
Five, learn about a real-life poisoning connected to the show,
discuss the Fermi Paradox and the “Dark Forest” hypothesis, and
wonder if Ye Wenjie is a true religious zealot.

Episodes discussed
1 Countdown
2 Red Coast
3 Destroyer of Worlds
4 Our Lord

Join them next week as they finish both the book & show and
vote on which one is the better version!
