For anyone who doesn’t know, this series is based off three books. I highly recommend reading them. Some of the best sci fi writing to exist

The star blinking was most likely the proton rapidly folding and unfolding, no fully but enough to make the sky visible vs covered. This would explain what Saul said about the Hubble and other satiates not seeing the same and means that he was right, it was a "deep fake". That guy is a genius and definitely a reason why he's being targeted.

I didn't read the books so I'm just enjoying the story from this show. I'm not sure how different they are.

Awesome recap! By the way, the implication as to why Saul is made a wallfacer is not for bait, but rather because the San-ti tried to kill him. The leaders don't know why, but know he must be important somehow because it was the first time the San-ti specifically ordered the assassination of a specific person.

12:00 “Will‘s brain is off in the wrong direction 😊” 😂

The sad thing the little girl in the virtual simulation was based off how Vera looked when she was little. Which makes her saying ‘save me!’ every time Jin fails even sadder.

I binged the show last night and really liked it. I read how the plot of the books unfolds and omg if they continue the show it is gonna get beyond crazy and mind meltingly good.

[thomaslee]

Lmao on 'Skip the tutorial' 😂😅

[frddyfrsh]

Finally a new, fresh, near sci-fi, mystery show. I totally binged it.
Mostly a quite good show, with a few minor flaws.
Bonus point: first (radio) contact with the aliens wasn’t in the US 😅

For those who haven't read the 2nd book, the joke she tells and do not understand it's importance, its actually the mind bending Dark Forest Hypothesis. Can't wait for season 2.

If you enjoyed this recap and show, do yourself a favor and read the books. They are great and this show did a great job retelling the story.

The ending is quite ironic. It is framed as a hopeful message, but we are also being compared to an EXTREMELY disruptive insect. It, once again, raises the question of whether we deserve to survive … or to be conquered.

Honestly I even watch recaps of series i have already watched

[philaoki]

Tatjana erasing herself from video tapes is not what's happening I think. It's the sophons that make everyone watching the footage unsee Tatjana's presence and her actions. Remember, the sophons can make stuff appear in people's eyes (e.g. countdowns) so they might as well can make stuff disappear (people literally can't trust their eyes anymore).
Also, in the scene where Clarence (the investigator) watches Jack Rooney's bed room from his car outside he clearly sees nobody there while at the same time Tatjana is taking Jack down right by the window. The sophons have manipulated Clarence' vision.

this game of thrones sequel looking kinda crazy

[derekbrantley]

He wasn’t a decoy. They made him a wallfacer bc the Santi were trying to kill him. I think it has to do with Vera’s mom meeting with him at the cemetery. They see him as a threat.

[jgomezmoreu]

Had to stop watching mid video because now I really want to watch the actual series.
I'll be back once I Bing it. 😅

[jaybandu]

Absolute Masterpiece of a show. Can't wait to read the books!

[GreenBuggGaming]

This is a great recap of the show. Well done

[Teamo]

This show didn't resonate with me when I started watching it, but seems to be all the buzz right now. Thanks for saving me a lot of time!

[callen]

Great recap. Also, I really appreciate that you deliver the content well, and appear on camera. I’m fed up with robot readers and weak content
