Spoiler Alert – This post will talk about the first season of 3 Body Problem, the TV series, and will contain spoilers. If you haven’t yet watched this SciFi show, you might wish to skip this post.
The Dear Wonderful Hubby and I watched season 1 of 3 Body Problem, an expected-to-be 4 season SciFi show based on a trilogy of novels written by Cixin Liu.
It was innovative and exciting and it held our interest.
But it is also based on a series started in 2006. Our planet is changing quickly and the way we look at the story has changed.
At the end of season 1, the multitude of bugs in one wild space is given as a reason to hope. We’re told bugs are plentiful, despite humans trying to eradicate them. If bugs can survive, humans can survive also.
Except insects are no longer plentiful. Their numbers are in steep decline. We’re in an insect apocalypse. That’s one of the possible human-ending disasters now facing us that we must ‘fix’.
The hope we’re given in 3 Body Problem, the TV series, is based on a situation that no longer exists. That made me feel not-at-all optimistic and I suspect that was exact opposite reaction the creators intended.
If this TV series had released in 2006, however, I WOULD have felt hopeful. At that time, the impending insect apocalypse wasn’t commonly known. We DID feel insects were plentiful.
The world has changed. Our knowledge has changed. The average person has changed.
And that changes our reactions to works of art.
In 2006, I would have felt hopeful at the end of season 1. In 2024, however, I feel tremendous sadness.

Strike Zone
A cyborg devoted to duty…and to her.
***
While attending a party, Kesser, the daughter of her planet’s leader, witnesses the abduction of her best friend and her best friend’s mate.
She’s determined to rescue them. Preferably without fracturing the fragile peace agreement her mom has crafted with the abductors’ planet.
The only issue is…she has never participated in a retrieval mission.
Searching for assistance, she approaches the mate’s guard. The male, with his big broad shoulders and deep growly voice, affects her like no other being ever has.
Kesser wants him. She trusts him. And she requires his stealth combat skills.
Desperately.
Strike is no guard. The D Model cyborg has been sent to the sector to discreetly investigate a potential planet-destroying situation.
When a curvy human female with big brown eyes requests his help with a rescue, he doesn’t hesitate to say yes. She’s his genetic match, the one being he was manufactured to protect.
She’s also traveling to the next planet he has to search. He plans to claim his female while he fulfills his responsibilities to his kind.
Neither Strike nor Kesser realizes the dangers facing them are far greater than they imagine. Their enemies are converging, and one failed mission could doom the entire universe.
