Definitely need that season 2 for sure this show was unexpected and amazing. Roshi with the Chappelle show reference was great but I'm not gonna lie if I was a wallfacer I'd be abusing the hell out of it like what kind of oreos do they have in Korea naw I need some from there to defeat the San ti.

2024-11-12 15:30:32 +0000 UTCYeah that horror bit felt so unnecessary, like this is a sci-fi series let's stick with that

2024-10-23 16:30:11 +0000 UTC❌❌Absolutely NOT. 🙅♂️ That answer shows a complete lack or disregard for basic physics concepts such as Newton's Second Law of Motion and how Mechanical Energy is transferred. The show spent a great deal of time illustrating to the audience that our current knowledge of physics IRL aligns with the physics in the show. So no matter how much suspension of disbelief I award you, you cannot go against the laws of physics. Secondly, the highest grade armor currently available can stop up to the 30-06(google 30-06 win vs 338 lapua picture). It's fucking MASSIVE! It has an effective penetrating range at 1700m(over 1 mile). Compare it to the damage a WAY smaller bullet(like a .380) does to a person in body armor. Look at google image of this('Officer shares photo of bruise caused by bullet'). I can disprove this theory of yours with the shows timeline of events alone btw... but lets pretend that your theory is true and they developed a super thin body armor from nanofiber that can stop the penetration force of the .338 Lapua. The distance of this shot can't be more than a few blocks away since the line of site in front of the UN building is pretty limited from the direction he was facing. So the shot was relatively close range. The armor in the show was clearly very thin, But if it was nanofiber that would be super plausible and they are probably strong enough to stop the penetrating force of the bullet by literally cutting it down in a million directions from the interwoven fiber. Unfortunately, you usually have to choose between Stopping power(Armor pen) and Energy Dispersal from blunt force trauma. Blunt force trauma from a bullet of that mass to a super thin layer of armor would not disperse energy effectively at all. Even though it doesn't penetrate the armor, it's going to SHATTER your bones and cause insane internal bleeding. Getting shot at the chest around his heart would have Killed him from blunt force trauma alone. 16 grams at 2,890 to 3,000 ft/s ... you are not surviving that hit to the chest, no matter how impenetrable your body armor is. especially not armor that thin. You would need super thick, specially designed plates to disperse the FORCE that is going to hit your chest. He dead bro.

2024-06-09 22:41:23 +0000 UTCMy main issue with the wallfacer strategy is what if a nga got doodoo memory😭 I’d personally wanna write my plans somewhere even if I’m not telling anyone but the sophon can read it as soon as I write, unless I make up a new language which would be veryyy irritating lmao

2024-06-08 23:47:22 +0000 UTC@Gabriel Souza there’s a limit to how much disbelief I’m willing to suspend in sci fi shows lol. Things need to at least make sense in the context of the world they’re in, which is supposed to be the world WE are currently living in… so yeah. Shame cuz the first like half was really interesting
Chelle
2024-05-30 06:22:39 +0000 UTC"All you gotta do is make plans to save the human race" lol, just the most difficult thing in the history of humankind
Gabriel Souza
2024-05-30 06:21:20 +0000 UTCWe have to suspend disbelief here, because clearly the aliens could easily put an end to this if they actually wanted to, based on what has been shown they can do.
Gabriel Souza
2024-05-30 06:19:26 +0000 UTCAnd if the actions are wrong, everyone is doomed. it's a good plan, but extremely dangerous too. From my perspective, the aliens still have a lot of leverage
Gabriel Souza
2024-05-30 06:15:05 +0000 UTCIf there is a season 2 is gonna be crazy, based on whats in the second and third book they gonna have to insanaly increase the budget for this show.
Gabriel Souza
2024-05-30 06:11:30 +0000 UTCYou know what's funny. The aliens said that in their word what they say "is", like there's no lie, no story, no need to even talk. That's a wallfacer. So in order to combat them, humans are actually adapting into them. Watch the aliens turn out to actually be us or something in the future lol. But yeah either way, they wanted to slow us down, by they actually ended up speeding us up, because with wallfacers there's no strike, no politics, no argument. Just action.
Saphthings
2024-05-30 02:19:29 +0000 UTCThey're probably woven from the nanofiber Auggie created
Trey Turner
2024-05-25 06:01:22 +0000 UTCSurprised no one in the comments picked up on the dumbest scene in the entire show. Dude got shot with a .338 to the chest and they really tried saying a bulletproof vest saved him. 😭
n
2024-05-25 00:40:35 +0000 UTCwhy tf didn’t that sniper just aim for Saul’s head lmao. or any other sniper. there’s obviously more. Why not manipulate the way he sees the world the way they did with Wade so he just accidentally runs off a cliff or something. idk if this is setup for something but rn it’s seeming like plotholes galore out here lol
Chelle
2024-05-17 09:44:24 +0000 UTCI think of the greatest things Saul could do is literally. Provide support the developing world. Water, food, electricity, infrastructure and internet. That would in the long run increase humanity's resource. The amount of "Einstein's" that never got their potential put to use for lack of opportunity and ressources
Oliver
2024-05-15 12:17:51 +0000 UTCJust catching up with this, but they're not literally a hive mind. It's more that they can't really tell a lie to each other, they don't just automatically access all the thoughts of each other all the time. Also in the book I think it goes into how that one pacifist alien gets fucked up for trying to help them lol
Beagle
2024-05-09 14:43:32 +0000 UTCI get Saul don't wanna be part of it but my nigga you got king status now and a lot come with that. All you gotta do is make plans to save the human race. You could build a future with Auggie, travel, hell even take great care of your friends and family financially.
Corey Leach
2024-05-07 06:25:45 +0000 UTCYessss I’ve been campaigning for it since they finished The Bear
Tope
2024-05-07 01:20:04 +0000 UTCThe only thing I can't understand is if the aliens are a hive mind then the first one that told the babe not to contact them again. How did the other aliens not know if they were a hive mind??

Boticus
2024-05-04 01:01:48 +0000 UTCI doubt will is dead, either they didnt actually put him on the rocket, since this was just the first try. or the san ti will send a ship to pick him up. most likely the first one
olle spengler
2024-05-03 13:35:07 +0000 UTCSaul may be serious af when he said he don't wanna partake in the Wallfacer project, but I bet this is confusing tf outta the San-Ti. They don't know if he's lying or telling the truth but the ppl serving him gotta do whatever he wants lol. W mind games.

Oliver
2024-05-02 13:54:39 +0000 UTCThis series is based off of a trilogy of books and if they keep this energy, season 2 is going to be phenomenal. The Dark Forest was my favorite of the trilogy…let’s just say you’ll be seeing a lot more of Saul. Also Wallfacers have access to limitless resources as long as they don’t break any laws. They can put pieces in place without revealing their true plan. The way they operate is actually mad interesting and hopefully we get to see it.
Victor Grubbs
2024-05-02 10:32:51 +0000 UTCYeah book 2 and 3 happen concurrently (atleast the beginning does) so It kinda makes sense to do it this way.

britt
2024-05-01 04:23:22 +0000 UTCJust to give a little context as a book reader, Book 1 ended around Ep. 5 and these last three eps were a combination of the beginning of Book 2 and 3, which is why I think they were a bit slower. Season 2 is gonna be insane tho. I can't wait.
Anthony Lazarin
2024-05-01 04:22:56 +0000 UTCAn interesting idea that is not explored in the books is, what if two Wallfacers have diametrically opposing immediate demands? 😂 Like one Wallfacer says "I need 5 million Twinkies immediately" and another one independently says "I need all Twinkies eliminated from the surface of the Earth" 🤔

halsa
2024-04-30 22:29:29 +0000 UTCOn Roshi's comment about people doing things for the benefit of present individuals...there are people who see humanity as a group spanning across time, rather than just the current generation. The majority of people definitely see things on a smaller time frame. I'd estimate 1% of humanity thinks from an ancestral/descendant perspective. We've lost that due to the decline of familial ties and the increased individualistic mindset of the West. (It's also why I fixing climate change is so low on the priority list. Not enough people possess the ability to empathize with future generations.)
Ritchel Cousar
2024-04-30 22:28:20 +0000 UTCYe Wenjie's final communication to Saul was a message that was obscured from the Sophons by being hidden within the metaphors of a joke (in the logic of the show; something slightly different occurs in the book). If you read the next book in the series, The Dark Forest, the message hidden within the joke is clear, but Saul most likely won't figure it out until near the end of the next season, akin to what happens in the book. The San-Ti do not know what the hidden message was, but they know that he was the only person she communicated seriously with after declaring her intent to stop them.

2024-04-30 22:24:59 +0000 UTCYou guys should watch Dead boy Detectives. It’s a spin off of Sandman. It’s really good.
Hasani101
2024-04-30 22:19:31 +0000 UTCThe manufacture of the game devices was funded by Evans. It is likely that those manufacturing facilities are still operational and funded after his death. Only instructions were communicated by the San-Ti, and the extremely delicate microscopic circuitry was probably etched by the sophons in ways that current human technology could not accomplish.

2024-04-30 21:20:59 +0000 UTC56:45 Roshi they saying to formulate the plan in your mind, then give orders and they will do what you ask, but only YOU know where all the parts fit in. That is why they said that they will do whatever the Wallfacers ask and give them whatever they need, no matter how crazy it might seem, because only the Wallfacers will know what all their orders will lead up to.

Drake Rage
2024-04-30 19:30:24 +0000 UTCOkay haven't read novels but I think I figured out what the big plan is. So the wall facers are supposed to make a plan without telling anyone, the reason I think our guy got chosen is because he has no previous knowledge in warfare sad but the san ti probably have access to all our strategy that we developed over history. So someone making a plan without any info of that won't be really able to be predicted at all. The first obvious problem is how would you be able to make a plan in your head that is not possible, that is probably true but in the previous episode when the Einstein joke got told I think 95% of the story was litterely just fluff and intended to make no sense, but it had a moral lesson at the end that you got it was I think at the end she said jokes are all we have as humanity or something. I think the moral of the story was that to send the message at the end and it was "encrypted" by all the fluff about einstein and god because the first time they heard one of our stories Red Riding hood, they did not understand the moral of the story. About lying and the hidden message of the story. I think if they have a message to someone they can hide with just tongue and cheek humour to hide the underlying message. And that way they will be able to at least in some way give messages to someone else. I also think the reason our guy got chosen is they are just making a huge gamble on him. Because no matter what he says or do's we can't read his mind so no idea if it is actually honest. He might have spend in his own time making plans. And they are just hoping whether before he dies he hides it in a message as just a comedy book or something with the strategy hidden in it. or whether he gets frozen and woken up. And they are just hoping that when the day comes he says "I was acting the entire time about doing nothing being mad and all that" that's the gamble they are taking I think with him. The Santi are probably aware of that and just in case are trying to kill him because why not better safe than sorry.

2024-04-30 18:45:57 +0000 UTCthe dark forest (the novel s2 should be mostly based on) is said to be the best book in the series, so I'm really hoping s2 gets announced this year!
cami ً
2024-04-30 18:29:27 +0000 UTCYes! The “joke” conversation he had with her is very important…. But I don’t want to spoil anything for anyone who hasn’t read the books. Just know that he was chosen for that very reason.
jahara daughtry
2024-04-30 18:27:42 +0000 UTCHe’s picked because of what she told him on the bench. I haven’t read the book, but it seems pretty obvious she was giving him a clue on how to beat the aliens. It seems Roshi and the guys forgot about that
Maroki R6
2024-04-30 18:23:03 +0000 UTCWhy was he picked?
Pilausky
2024-04-30 18:21:25 +0000 UTCSaul is probably targeted cause of the joke. Ye Wenjie probably knew his going keep not fulfilling his apparent "potential" so she told him the joke which could be a clue to taking out the san ti. If its not it would still force the san ti to target him which would mean he has to respond.

2024-04-30 17:24:45 +0000 UTCOne thing I do hate about the adaptation is the whole "hallucination" thing the sophons can suddenly do. Makes zero sense. All they do is pass back and forth through the pupil to make them see the numbers. Going from that to full on visual hallucinations just for some horror movie jumpscares is silly. Also, y'all don't have to worry about this getting renewed, it'll get 3 seasons.

Hasnain Khan
2024-04-30 17:09:56 +0000 UTCthe reason the wallfacer project works in theory is because, lets say saul orders 5000 nuclear bombs, the san ti could of course stop them from being made, but then they dont know if saul planned for them to stop him and now they'd be helping him by stopping the bomb production. They basically have to 50/50 whether hindering the apparent plan would actually benefit the real plan so the best case for them would be to wait until the literal last minute when the plan is being fully executed without an ounce of doubt to try and stop it right then and there instead of spending 400 years not knowing if what theyre doing is actually hindering the wallfacers or mot
