Three-Body Episode 9

Five Stars

9th out of 30 episodes ... they are slowly adding to the overall story bit by bit ... I often wonder how important some things are - like the egg in the bottle experiment ... how much symbolism is used?

I am also fascinated by the followers of the "Lord" ... there seems to be two camps who, while following the "Lord" have two different agendas and ways of doing things. Regardless of which camp they are in, they are kind of funny in a sanctimonious way. They remind me of court officials / bureaucracy who 'control' the emperor or king or president effectively making them a puppet / rubber stamp ... but if the "Lord' (whoever, whatever that is) is really omnipotent, omnipresent, omniscient etc ... then nothing these mere 'turkey's' do, or withhold from, the "Lord" will make any difference ... more human arrogance :-)

I really am enjoying this drama ... I haven't read any of the novels it is based on, so I could be completely barking up the wrong tree, but even so, I am so looking forward to where this story is taking us.
