The first four episodes of Dan Weiss and David Benioff\u2019s Netflix adaptation of Liu Cixin\u2019s novel\xa0THE THREE-BODY PROBLEM show some promise, but they\u2019ve burned us in the past so it\u2019s hard to get too excited. In episode 307, join Luke Elliott & James Bailey as they propose humanity\u2019s envoy for a first contact scenario, discuss the choice to change Wang Maio into the Oxford Five, learn about a real-life poisoning connected to the show, discuss the Fermi Paradox and the \u201cDark Forest\u201d hypothesis, and wonder if Ye Wenjie is a true religious zealot.
