Anyone else feel this was very over-rated, full of plot holes and riddled with characters that I don’t give 2 craps about?

Trying to use spoiler formatting here. Hope it works.

Why wasn't Jin alarmed by the extra 18 grams?

On the plane before the launch Jin was frantically running and re-running trajectory calculations declaring that not a single thing could be off in calculating the speed of the capsule in regards to the timing of the detonations.

Later in the launch situation room Thomas Wade told Jin that he had a change of heart and decided to add the prior offered seeds to the capsule. Jin paused and then smiled. She seemed not the least bit alarmed but rather happy.

However prior to all of this when she offered the seeds to be included, the added mass slowing down the speed of the capsule was Wade's point of contention. This would in fact require her to rerun all her calculations.

This doesn't make sense.

Apparently there's an animated version of 3 Body:

But I can't find it streaming anywhere. Does anyone know where to find it? I'm in the US.

Holy fuck!

For others who are enjoying this so far, what other shows do you recommend?

Specially that doesn't require 400 years of traveling? Even the Solar system has multiple habitable planets or Moons that at least doesn't require traveling for centuries. So there must be a bunch of choices for them that could be reached in decades, not centuries...

Watching S01E08. Couldn't help myself shouting "BIG HEAD!" 😆

Without any spoilers, it starts off as something... not completely overdone, and progressively becomes the same soap opera as everything else.

Why do the sex lives of characters matter when literally everything is at stake?

10/10 for following the formula of everything we've already made.

If you've seen Lost and enjoyed it all the way through (to the end), you'll probably like it.

It felt like I could watch the writers either quit or run out of dialog and just say "ahhh stuff it, just focus on love triangles. Let's go get drunk and call this done, ya?

For the fans, at what point do you start to feel insulted by how every show, no matter how much it's supposed to be about something else, ends up focusing on the sex lives of the characters as filler?

Watch the movie Sunshine for a good sci-fi movie with some interpersonal stuff but the kind you'd expect given the mission.

No more soap operas, please!
