@AllahIsntReal yep.., they sadly ruined the Netflix show (but it had some good high lights, not even the show could ruin.. but overall they ffed it up) ... edit: I don't mean the (over) woke messaging, eventhough its gone kinda too far in this series, feels forced / out of place at times,.. thats not what ruins the show, though it doesn't help either, when done so obvious / forced)
Check out his ASOIAF videos, when I stumbled on this dudes channel I watched those and then watched his older videos about The 3-Body Problem, and he fascinated me with the 3-Body Problem and The Dark Forest videos. This guy is super dope tbh. ONe of the best kept secrets that i dont think many people know about in the Game of Thrones/A Song of Ice and Fire and us sci-fi and fantasy book nerds
it’s actually crazy but I think the shows success is also due in part to Quinn’s videos, I don’t think anybody else goes this in depth anywhere on the internet
Imagine if Ye Wenjie had sent a 4 hour long message to Trisolaris. That pacifist trisolaran would’ve said “man fuck this, *Ayo boss! We got some noise.* shit mad long, just sent all our shit there. By the time you fuckin get there I MIGHT be done readin this nonsense…” 😂

The more I learn about these books the more I am in awe of them. They are just incredible and I need to read them again ASAP. When I finish the series I was in shock. It was a pretty insane read for me and what I did was turn around and reread the second half of the third book again! For me, this series scratched such a niche itch for myself but I didn't know existed. I studied mathematics in college, taking an additional 30 credits of physics and astronomy. It was a pretty intense program and stretched the limits of my mind. I don't use mathematics or physics in my career so it's this interest that my brain has that I've never gotten to explore beyond school. It holds a special place in my mind, always. This series had so much real mathematics and science background that it almost read as nonfiction. I loved it so so much 🥹 It's in my top two favorite series, Three Body, and Dune
I can't believe my friend told me about this series about a year or so ago at a bar ..and then shortly after it was announced it would be a series! Before all that, I was reading it and coming here to understand it! It totally changed my whole view of life.
Me getting comfy in bed with my headphones ready to close my eyes and listen to 4.5 hours of pure sci fi briliiance. I only discovered your channel a few days ago and I have to say its already a firm favourite of mine. Keep up the good work!!
Been watching your videos for a while now. Thanks to you, I discovered new series and reawakened my passion for the Dune series. Thank you for the awesome work 👍
best modern Si-Fi (3 body problem series), best modern fantasy / super power (Naruto / Shippuden) => both of the best Si-Fi & "fantasy / superpower" franchises are from Asia! ... both revolutionized their genres.. (suprises me.., was sure the best Si-Fi would remain in the west.., but lately the west has been suffering from extreme ideologies and lazy creativity in their Si-Fi & Fantasy products)
I love Luo Ji, he is also the guardian of humanity's last "tomb". His character development is also good, from the most selfish bastard to the most selfless saviour.
@AB-ee5tb he most definitely could and he most def should. Though they are 2 completely different types of series they have ALOT of similarities. Naruto also explores the Scifi, extra dimensional and cosmic scope of its universe. and it's most recent idderation (Boruto) is about what happens when you fw cosmic entities and concepts, voluntarily or not. the Ootsutsuki are the biggest example of this and even more so Naruto in it's essence is based off of Buddist and Shinto mythology which is way more complicated than any concept into 3BP.. Don't sit here and decrepit someone's opinion bc he actually sees a viable similarity between the two.
@@seanhewitt603 me too 😊 when I first stumbled on the first video I actually listened when he recommended to stop the video and go read the books lol I'm glad I did because I absolutely love this book series now. It's my favorite sci-fi, up there with Foundation.
I've read the books but this is my plan as well. Quinn is a great storyteller and besides refreshing the material from the books, I just want to give him more "plays" and will fall asleep to this video for many nights :D
Quinn's opinions and comments are spot on. He Speaks so intelligently and with such confidence it truly takes my Breath away. I came for dune and stay for everything else😅
Still, the more Likes a video gets the wider it gets shared. (And not necessarily to the people in that particular echo chamber. Certainly the subbed, and regulars will see it when it drops. The idea is to get the algo to share it more widely. To non-subscribers & others who may match based on a keyword, or a _Like_ from prvsly watched video.
After watching netflix. I went to all the videos in his playlist on the 3 body problem. After that i played this 4 hours again. 30mins at a time while driving to and off from work. His story telling is 10/10. Wonderful job quinn! Netflix should hire you to read this to directors/writers/actors before filiming.
I want to watch this video so bad but I haven’t finished the series so I’m just leaving a comment here to support. Thank you Quinn love everything you do you put me on to this trilogy, so thank you for being yourself
The concept of the wallfacer is just SO interesting to me! Not only that, it's the perfect set up for a fascinating hero's journey, rife with internal conflict and external pressures.
Dude, I listened to this while gardening all afternoon yesterday. It was such a thrill to be taken back through this wildly unsettling text. Thanks for all the work you've put in here.
This series drives home one terrible truth for me, violence begets violence. The Trisolarans wanted to escape the torture of their home, no matter the cost. Humans wanted to survive, no matter the cost. Ultimately, there were no winners in this war, only a collapse of the 3rd dimension to possibly swing back to the 10th. Insane to imagine, but I loved hearing every moment. Thank you.
Actually, violence does not begat violence. You could be minding your own business and be destroyed. Singer didn’t have to wipe us out as we were not a threat to his escaping race; but the law of the dark forrest said do it.
In this series: *exposure* begets violence. Exposure of yourself means you are a potential source of violence for someone in the universe eventually. The nihilistic view is dominant.
@Codysdab I've never read the books. I'm 10 episodes into the Chinese show and I have no idea of what is going on. If I soldier on will it come together? Or should I have started with the books?
One of my favorite parts of the Remembrance of Earth’s Past is the fate of the ships that fled the battle with the teardrop. Their story was an outright existential nightmare. Some of the best storytelling I’ve read in some time.
and the concept of the droplet/teardrop stoke completely new perspectives to the brains of cunsumers like me who enjoy a lot of popular *normal sci-fi works such as Star War and Gundam, in which human build gigantic space battleships/robots because this is how normal present time people would imagine technological advancements could be in future. instead, Liu Cixin shows us what and how real technology advancements would look like, the manipulation of laws of physics, rather than mass accumulation of materials based on current human technologies and obsession with structural scale. in comparison to the droplet/teardrop, space battleships/robots indeed feel *ancient
@@SuatuKetika-z5f and I want to extend my idea/understanding of nowdays popular sci-fi by comparing it to Steampunk which basically is the imaginations of people before fossil fuel, atomic power and microchips technology were invented/discovered, people back then would imagined that future is a world full of gaint and complicated machines powered by steam engines, such as the steam-powered castle in Howl's Moving Castle comparably, nowadays sci-fi works imagine gaint enlarged structures based on modern/near-future technologies, with its own unique aesthetics which may get appreciation of nostalgia by future generations.
@@SuatuKetika-z5f comparing Gundam/Spaceships to the Droplet, is like comparing Howl's Moving Castle to a F35 fighter jet, really nostalgic, and I wonder what name would future generations give to modern days' sci-fis, Atomicpunk? robotpunk?
@@Emanon...D.E.I. is the problem with Netflix version. The female characters are the smarter ones, the male one are dumb and clumsy. A lot of high power politicians are female.
This is literally the worst series I've ever seen on netflix, 0/10. Chinese 3 body series much, MUCH better, very accurate to book, not based netflx stuff with alcoholics and gays
This series has stuck with me. I re-read it several times in a row. It's up there with Dune and LOTR. It lives in my head. Thank you for your videos. I'm constantly trying to wrap my mind around it all
My favorite part in the whole series was the dark forest before contact with the droplet, humanity was so confident they were talking about peace treaties and had sympathizers 😂 the buildup and crash was so human I loved every moment of it
I bought and read 3 Body Problem because of you Quinn! and now I will listen for the next 4 1/2 hours your comment- best prelude to a sci-fi ! Indeed, you've got me covered!!!
Came across this series for the first time today! Never heard of it and it’s exactly what I’ve been missing in my life. Even with the spoilers, I am dying to read and watch this series. Thx
Those ultimate guide are absolute perfection. It must be so long to produce a presentation like this. Thank you so much for your hard work and for sharing your passion with us Quinn! You are literally the only TH-camr that can keep me glued listening to a video for more than 20 minutes. 💌
Thank you so much for combining this like you did to dune! I actually bought my wife the entire 6 book dune set because of you. I am somewhat of an audiobook connoisseur and have listened to to almost all of your stuff. You have the voice for it. Maybe theres a play for you to narrate some books (including the one you wrote :), whether it be for your channel or for something like chilling tales for dark nights as an example. Sci Fi / Horror are the 2 most listened to genres so you already fit right in. You also have double the subscribers of alot of very talented narrators on youtube so you know you already have an audience too. I've even seen youtube voice actors get deals with audible and be paid to narrate books for them as well. Just food for thought.
I’ve come a full circle. Heard about 3bp from Quinn, when he first uploaded about it. It became one of my favorite scifi novels. Waited two years for the Netflix series to arrive and now, once again, Im back to Quinn to thank him for introducing this incredible trilogy to me. Thanks Quinn!
@@pillepolle3122 to be fair, Quinn's voice and the atmospheric background music he use in his videos, makes for an excellent white noise for sleeping 😝.
@pillepolle3122 I like to listen to a video multiple times if I listen to it to fall asleep, I just get a little further into the video every night and will skip to where I last remember til I finish the video lol
Finally, I was never one hundred percent sure of the intended order of these videos. I'm glad to finally have a single comprehensive video to listen to on repeat.
Nice, I really appreciate your longer dives into Dune (my favourite since I read it 30 years ago) and 3 Body Problem. Also, I would love to take a peek at your collection, I am really curious as to what gems I might find there that I have yet to discover for myself. Keep it up, really enjoying your stuff! All the best to you from Germany
This is great idea. Maybe Quinn could do a video walk through of his library. A short summary of book name, author, date published & basic plot premise would be helpful. If Quinn keeps a book in his library, it's worth checking out.
Love this channel. A real diamond on TH-cam brother. I'm a life subscriber and will always be eager for anything you put out there man... Single handle saved sci Fi and books being a thing and everything I missed for me... I appreciate you so much.
The amount of research, retention and understanding you have put into this is astounding, then to put it all together into this incredible guide for us, thank you x 18 million!
Ohhh yeah!!!! I've been missing you! You single handedly sparked my love of sci-fi. You help make my time stuck in this bed and wheelchair more enjoyable. Much love brother ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
@@andrewmaderer1989 last year I moved in with a friend who let me rent his back room. My drinking got so bad that I was rendered incapacitated. I have no idea how long I lay in that bed, but by the time the house was raided for an unrelated reason I was covered in my own waste as well as many pressure wounds(bed sores) along my backside. Turns out at some point my "friend" shut me away and was freely spending my food stamps and cash benefits as I lay dying. I was severely malnourished and dehydrated, my organs were shutting down and weighed 165 lbs(my healthy weight is 210 lbs. I was within days or hours of death. At the hospital I blatantly refused any treatment because I wanted to die so the medical team went to probate court and had a guardian appointed through Lutheran family services so they could get authorization to force treatment and feeding. That was May 2023. My sores healed, I am actually slightly overweight now, my mind has recovered, I have bladder and bowel control once again and now we are working on getting me mobile again. I no longer despise my guardian, in fact I have a zoom court date on the 27th where the guardian will be telling the judge that I am recovered mentally and should have my autonomy restored and that i no longer need a guardian. So things are looking up. I am glad that the medical team were willing to step in and do what needed to be done for me to get my life back. Remember, you asked
Thank you for exposing me to this series through your videos, Quinn. I’ve blown through the trilogy in just over 2 weeks and didn’t experience a dull moment throughout. Godspeed, man.
Hey Quinn, thanks for the video man shared it to all my friends. Listened to this before bed and for some reason had the best sleep I've had in a long time. Which is really strange because this was fairly horrifying and gave me many new things to ponder.
I have to say, Quinn has really tackled the speculative and hard science fiction mix of Liu's work and made it very assessable and easier to understand for the casual western reader. He really does a deep dive on many of the topics that make Three Body Problem so interesting.
Just found your channel afyer watching 3 body problem and WOW THIS IS THE SPOT TO BE !!! The show sucked me In pr should i say ....... swallowed me up .... ive been swallowed up by this thought provoking show and i cant get enough of this thanks for these videos.
I absolutely Love Quinn's "GUIDES" to these thought-provoking books! His insight is deep, thoughtful, & genius. Hes extremely knowledgeable & diligent in his research of the story. And Quinn's thoughts & ideas sre clever, & introduce ideas i never contemplated. Not to mention, his choice of books is amazing; every work he discusses turns out to be a thought-provoking, memorable, & fun work of literature. Thanx, Quinn!
Quinn's "Guide to Dune" series was excellent. 👍 I was not expecting this one. Then when I saw Quinn's "Complete Guide to 3BP....", I was cheering on the inside, yay!! Prior, I was sad, bcuz he made many videos discussing 3BP, & I thought he was done mentioning it. So I was completely surprised and elated to see this on my screen. And, to further my excitement, I noticed, it's the"COMPLETE" Guide. And, over 4hr 's long! I was expecting maybe, just the 1st book, & then id have to disappointingly endure a long next few months, awaiting the Dark Forest; but, no! 😀
Rarely does a TH-cam video that gives me all the information still make me want to go and read the books from which the information came. Keep it up 💯✊🏾💪🏽
I'm still here man I found you two years ago with that dope as dune saga explanation Halloween episode with the little cloud of gas I told you that I was going to binge watch all your videos and have been giving you a thumbs up on all your videos the work and effort you put into them is awesome and now you're dropping a 4 1/2 hour video on the explanation of why you respect and love three-body problem keep up the good work 🤗 a bong rip and a queen video right before bed and it's a 4 and a half hour video DOPE
I KNEW I needed to stop reading this series but my completionist brain thanks you a million times over. I wish I wasn't so simple minded sometimes but I've been falling asleep over and over choking through the first book and now TRYING to watch the series. I should have taken the hint when I was falling asleep reading and watching. The whole thing is a horror dystopia where everyone makes every wrong decision - which in all fairness is totally humans track record. I'm a rare breed, I really don't have to keep watching the train wreck as people say. Again, I can't thank you enough for this synopsis.
I absolutely love the music in all of your videos. It adds so much atmosphere EDIT : if you're doing a live or review video on the new 3 body problem series, I can't wait! Would love to hear your opinion on it. I like it so far but I'm only one episode in
This is SO good , I don’t even read science fiction (I’m a fantasy person ) but I love this , I know I would not be able to understand the nuances of this book in general so it’s nice for you to explain it .
The Trisolarans: *"We do not understand deception."* (2 minutes later) Also the Trisolarans... Presenting themselves as a hot chick with a samurai sword: *"You would not like our natural appearance"* Humanity: 🤔 *"But you understand catfishing??"* The Trisolarans: *"We are not fish. We are hot chicks."* Humanity: 🤦
Just want to say how incredibly grateful I am for your content. Not only has rekindled my love of reading, but has also just gotten me through some difficult times. Also solidified my favorite genre as Sci-Fi, especially after reading this particular series. Amazingly consistent, very thoughtful, well articulated, and most importantly truly entertaining videos. Thank you, Quinn.
Holy moly, Quinn. This is basically two feature films back-to-back. Thank you for making all this content available in one video!
Thx for dono

and the concept of the droplet/teardrop stoke completely new perspectives to the brains of cunsumers like me who enjoy a lot of popular *normal sci-fi works such as Star War and Gundam, in which human build gigantic space battleships/robots because this is how normal present time people would imagine technological advancements could be in future.
instead, Liu Cixin shows us what and how real technology advancements would look like, the manipulation of laws of physics, rather than mass accumulation of materials based on current human technologies and obsession with structural scale.
in comparison to the droplet/teardrop, space battleships/robots indeed feel *ancient
@@dexterdr.7020 yeah I totally agree!
@@dexterdr.7020 Exactly! In the third book there is even a credit card-sized technology that is much scarier than the teardrop.
@@SuatuKetika-z5f and I want to extend my idea/understanding of nowdays popular sci-fi by comparing it to Steampunk which basically is the imaginations of people before fossil fuel, atomic power and microchips technology were invented/discovered, people back then would imagined that future is a world full of gaint and complicated machines powered by steam engines, such as the steam-powered castle in Howl's Moving Castle
comparably, nowadays sci-fi works imagine gaint enlarged structures based on modern/near-future technologies, with its own unique aesthetics which may get appreciation of nostalgia by future generations.
@@SuatuKetika-z5f comparing Gundam/Spaceships to the Droplet, is like comparing Howl's Moving Castle to a F35 fighter jet, really nostalgic, and I wonder what name would future generations give to modern days' sci-fis, Atomicpunk? robotpunk?
Dune full series and now three body problem full series. I love your work 👏👏
What a month for two of our favorite books. 2, 4 hour videos and 2 movies in the same month. I’m spoiled now… lol
The ENTIRE community waiting to hear what Quinn thinks of the 3 body problem Netflix edition.
Yep watching it now. What do you reckon Quin.
The opinion that matters the most
@@Emanon...D.E.I. is the problem with Netflix version. The female characters are the smarter ones, the male one are dumb and clumsy. A lot of high power politicians are female.
This is literally the worst series I've ever seen on netflix, 0/10. Chinese 3 body series much, MUCH better, very accurate to book, not based netflx stuff with alcoholics and gays
@avangard1446 so it's bad because of alcohol and gay people ?
Babe, babe, don't go to work today... Quinn droped a 4 hour 3 Body Problem video before the Netflix Adaptation
Lololol I literally called out such today... By providential coincidence, I swear! 😅
Listen at work, genius.
@@1237barca I didn't call out because of a TH-cam video, dude. Chill yourself.
1:23:12
Don't watch the Netflix adaptation! Game of thrones show runners behind it! Show no support
My Lord.
What a mammoth of a video based on your passion and hard work.
You are appreciated!
Quinn is the person that increased my love for dune and 3BP. Hats off to you sir. Your work is exemplary.
This series has stuck with me. I re-read it several times in a row. It's up there with Dune and LOTR. It lives in my head. Thank you for your videos. I'm constantly trying to wrap my mind around it all
Bro, you got me into these books, and I've passed it onto all of my friends - we all love it!! Thank you, Quinn.
This is my bed time listening now. You have a soothing voice.
Same!
Perfect timing, I just finished watching the complete guide to Dune. Quinn must know tomorrow is my birthday because what a present!
My favorite part in the whole series was the dark forest before contact with the droplet, humanity was so confident they were talking about peace treaties and had sympathizers 😂 the buildup and crash was so human I loved every moment of it
I bought and read 3 Body Problem because of you Quinn! and now I will listen for the next 4 1/2 hours your comment- best prelude to a sci-fi !
Indeed, you've got me covered!!!
Came across this series for the first time today! Never heard of it and it’s exactly what I’ve been missing in my life. Even with the spoilers, I am dying to read and watch this series. Thx
Those ultimate guide are absolute perfection.
It must be so long to produce a presentation like this. Thank you so much for your hard work and for sharing your passion with us Quinn!
You are literally the only TH-camr that can keep me glued listening to a video for more than 20 minutes. 💌
I don't think I will ever get tired of hearing you talk about this series.
Thank you so much for combining this like you did to dune! I actually bought my wife the entire 6 book dune set because of you. I am somewhat of an audiobook connoisseur and have listened to to almost all of your stuff. You have the voice for it. Maybe theres a play for you to narrate some books (including the one you wrote :), whether it be for your channel or for something like chilling tales for dark nights as an example. Sci Fi / Horror are the 2 most listened to genres so you already fit right in. You also have double the subscribers of alot of very talented narrators on youtube so you know you already have an audience too. I've even seen youtube voice actors get deals with audible and be paid to narrate books for them as well. Just food for thought.
Good advice Sammers
I’ve come a full circle. Heard about 3bp from Quinn, when he first uploaded about it. It became one of my favorite scifi novels. Waited two years for the Netflix series to arrive and now, once again, Im back to Quinn to thank him for introducing this incredible trilogy to me. Thanks Quinn!
I just finished the last page of Death's End. Ive been putting off watching ANY 3BP content whatsoever. Now Quinn drops this. Perfect timing!!!
I'm listening to it now and later while I sleep. 4 hours! This is what I needed! Thank you Mr. Quinn
why listen to it while asleep? you won't hear it !
@@pillepolle3122 to be fair, Quinn's voice and the atmospheric background music he use in his videos, makes for an excellent white noise for sleeping 😝.
@pillepolle3122 I like to listen to a video multiple times if I listen to it to fall asleep, I just get a little further into the video every night and will skip to where I last remember til I finish the video lol
@@lifeisbutadreammsame
I’ve listened to this three times now and each time I’ve gleaned more insight, thank you Quinn for making things more understandable.
Finally, I was never one hundred percent sure of the intended order of these videos. I'm glad to finally have a single comprehensive video to listen to on repeat.
I listened to all 4 hrs and 32 mins of this video. Enjoyed every minute of it. 10/10
I quite literally started to watch this playlist yesterday. Thank you for compiling everything into one video. Appreciate it, Quinn!
I alway's love when you read qoutes from all the books you talk about. It makes the books be more spooky than it is, I don't know why. It's so good!
Ride that netflix hype train Quinn!! Your videos got me interested in reading the books and you deserve all the views!
This video is impossible to put down, you're simply the best at what you do, I'm so excited to read this series thanks to you!
Nice, I really appreciate your longer dives into Dune (my favourite since I read it 30 years ago) and 3 Body Problem. Also, I would love to take a peek at your collection, I am really curious as to what gems I might find there that I have yet to discover for myself.
Keep it up, really enjoying your stuff!
All the best to you from Germany
This is great idea. Maybe Quinn could do a video walk through of his library. A short summary of book name, author, date published & basic plot premise would be helpful. If Quinn keeps a book in his library, it's worth checking out.
Im reading Dune after watching Quinns videos. I am on Chapterhouse of dune, this is 6th book :)
Love this channel. A real diamond on TH-cam brother. I'm a life subscriber and will always be eager for anything you put out there man... Single handle saved sci Fi and books being a thing and everything I missed for me... I appreciate you so much.
Such great delivery, I love both watching and re-watching these vids.
Quinn after all these years, you never disappoint.
The amount of research, retention and understanding you have put into this is astounding, then to put it all together into this incredible guide for us, thank you x 18 million!
Ohhh yeah!!!! I've been missing you! You single handedly sparked my love of sci-fi. You help make my time stuck in this bed and wheelchair more enjoyable. Much love brother ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
How’d you end up there?
@@andrewmaderer1989 last year I moved in with a friend who let me rent his back room. My drinking got so bad that I was rendered incapacitated. I have no idea how long I lay in that bed, but by the time the house was raided for an unrelated reason I was covered in my own waste as well as many pressure wounds(bed sores) along my backside. Turns out at some point my "friend" shut me away and was freely spending my food stamps and cash benefits as I lay dying. I was severely malnourished and dehydrated, my organs were shutting down and weighed 165 lbs(my healthy weight is 210 lbs. I was within days or hours of death. At the hospital I blatantly refused any treatment because I wanted to die so the medical team went to probate court and had a guardian appointed through Lutheran family services so they could get authorization to force treatment and feeding. That was May 2023. My sores healed, I am actually slightly overweight now, my mind has recovered, I have bladder and bowel control once again and now we are working on getting me mobile again. I no longer despise my guardian, in fact I have a zoom court date on the 27th where the guardian will be telling the judge that I am recovered mentally and should have my autonomy restored and that i no longer need a guardian. So things are looking up. I am glad that the medical team were willing to step in and do what needed to be done for me to get my life back. Remember, you asked
Cancel my evening! I’ll be here for the next 4 hours. Thank you!!!!
Thank you for exposing me to this series through your videos, Quinn. I’ve blown through the trilogy in just over 2 weeks and didn’t experience a dull moment throughout. Godspeed, man.
Hey Quinn, thanks for the video man shared it to all my friends. Listened to this before bed and for some reason had the best sleep I've had in a long time. Which is really strange because this was fairly horrifying and gave me many new things to ponder.
Phenomenal, thank you!
Your Three Body Problem videos are second to none!! Thank you so much for this and for your hard work!! :)
I have to say, Quinn has really tackled the speculative and hard science fiction mix of Liu's work and made it very assessable and easier to understand for the casual western reader. He really does a deep dive on many of the topics that make Three Body Problem so interesting.
Just found your channel afyer watching 3 body problem and WOW THIS IS THE SPOT TO BE !!! The show sucked me
In pr should i say ....... swallowed me up .... ive been swallowed up by this thought provoking show and i cant get enough of this thanks for these videos.
😂 Not Swallowed up lmao
Quinn, you read so beautifully. I can listen to your soothing voice all night. Thanks for giving me a much greater understanding of this trilogy. 👍🏾
I absolutely Love Quinn's "GUIDES" to these thought-provoking books! His insight is deep, thoughtful, & genius. Hes extremely knowledgeable & diligent in his research of the story. And Quinn's thoughts & ideas sre clever, & introduce ideas i never contemplated. Not to mention, his choice of books is amazing; every work he discusses turns out to be a thought-provoking, memorable, & fun work of literature. Thanx, Quinn!
Quinn's "Guide to Dune" series was excellent. 👍
I was not expecting this one. Then when I saw Quinn's "Complete Guide to 3BP....", I was cheering on the inside, yay!! Prior, I was sad, bcuz he made many videos discussing 3BP, & I thought he was done mentioning it. So I was completely surprised and elated to see this on my screen.
And, to further my excitement, I noticed, it's the"COMPLETE" Guide. And, over 4hr 's long! I was expecting maybe, just the 1st book, & then id have to disappointingly endure a long next few months, awaiting the Dark Forest; but, no! 😀
A hidden gem in the vastness of the internet
Awesome!! The amount of work that went into this must have been insane. Thanks quinn and teammates
Rarely does a TH-cam video that gives me all the information still make me want to go and read the books from which the information came. Keep it up 💯✊🏾💪🏽
I'm still here man I found you two years ago with that dope as dune saga explanation Halloween episode with the little cloud of gas I told you that I was going to binge watch all your videos and have been giving you a thumbs up on all your videos the work and effort you put into them is awesome and now you're dropping a 4 1/2 hour video on the explanation of why you respect and love three-body problem keep up the good work 🤗 a bong rip and a queen video right before bed and it's a 4 and a half hour video DOPE
I KNEW I needed to stop reading this series but my completionist brain thanks you a million times over. I wish I wasn't so simple minded sometimes but I've been falling asleep over and over choking through the first book and now TRYING to watch the series. I should have taken the hint when I was falling asleep reading and watching. The whole thing is a horror dystopia where everyone makes every wrong decision - which in all fairness is totally humans track record. I'm a rare breed, I really don't have to keep watching the train wreck as people say. Again, I can't thank you enough for this synopsis.
Who th is AA? It's mentioned a few times throughout but I missed an explanation
I absolutely love the music in all of your videos. It adds so much atmosphere
EDIT : if you're doing a live or review video on the new 3 body problem series, I can't wait! Would love to hear your opinion on it. I like it so far but I'm only one episode in
This is SO good , I don’t even read science fiction (I’m a fantasy person ) but I love this , I know I would not be able to understand the nuances of this book in general so it’s nice for you to explain it .
Thank you so much quinn for your work !
Been following for 2 years now !
Narration top notch 🎉
discorverd your channel within the last few days im absolutely obssesed. Thank you for amazing content
just found you and watched all 4+ hours wish you had ads so you could get paid for this awesome content.
I love how he explains it exacly word by word how it's explained in the book. Thank you for your work
The Trisolarans: *"We do not understand deception."*
(2 minutes later)
Also the Trisolarans... Presenting themselves as a hot chick with a samurai sword: *"You would not like our natural appearance"*
Humanity: 🤔 *"But you understand catfishing??"*
The Trisolarans: *"We are not fish. We are hot chicks."*
Humanity: 🤦
😂
The series has so many logical fallacies. It's upsetting :(
"We can't missile the ship because we could accidentally destroy it!"
Humans : What’s mine say?
Trisolarans: Sweet, what’s mine say?
Humans: Dude, What’s mine says?!

@@brianarc2 I know. That was extremely dumb wasn't it.
Just want to say how incredibly grateful I am for your content. Not only has rekindled my love of reading, but has also just gotten me through some difficult times. Also solidified my favorite genre as Sci-Fi, especially after reading this particular series. Amazingly consistent, very thoughtful, well articulated, and most importantly truly entertaining videos. Thank you, Quinn.
Homeboy just dropped the ONE VIDEO I was looking for and I appreciate that immensely
Love it! More information in this than most dissertations!
😂🤡
Quinn's arrangement of background music totally depictsls the mood of the book, brilliant!
I am so unbelievably psyched for this series.
Thank you for always covering this book series!
如果没有共产党的言论和出版限制会有更多的好作品面世
This is excellent stuff. Thanks.
The author of the books did best job in sci fi in this century.
Well this is the one I been waiting for years.
