re: 3 Body Problem - Netflix

First let me say i enjoyed the first season overall.
Two things I don’t think I understand.
1. The nano-fiber sail ship. It needed a thousand nuclear detonations to reach 1% light speed correct? How would they have placed let’s say the last 200 or so warheads so far out so quick? At that point where the sail ship would be and how fast it was moving would have taken normal propulsion well over a decade to get there to put the warheads in place. Didn’t make sense to me.

Second. I don’t think I understand the headset VR “games”. At first I thought it was the aliens tasking the humans to solve a problem they couldn’t inside a game scenario. Are the just for communication or do they have a larger purpose i’m just not seeing.
So the wallfacer stuff. They have to come up individually with a way to fight the aliens but never talk about or act on it until it’s time to put it in action? How does that work? What if something needs to be constructed? Someone explain this to me.


As others have said Auggie is fine as hell but a shitty actress and Woo is the best character. Shout out to Big Head having a part in the show.

Also the name of the show. Is that just a reference to 3 Suns in the system the aliens reside in?
