I finished the first season of 3 Body Problem and I think it's a terrific sci-fi show, which deals with huge concepts, both in terms of science and in terms of morality. Many interesting concepts are explored, but the show is not just an info dump of cool concepts, the main focus is the characters which for the most part all play important roles, even though the roles aren't always apparent at first. The series deals mostly with the present time but pivotal scenes, especially in there earlier episodes take place in the past during the cultural revolution in china and these scenes are incredibly well done and feel authentic. The opening scene is quite disturbing. The actors play their roles really well, with Liam Cunningam stealing every scene he is in. Jonathan Pryce also does some amazing work, especially in some scenes where he is practically alone (but I won't be more specific because of potential spoilers). The score also works well and creates an eerie tone for the show while introducing several themes, which grow throughout the season and culminate in some great renditions in later episodes. Especially Will's theme is very moving. I do think that the season should have been released with weekly episodes rather than a typical Netflix binge release as the episodes benefit from having some breathing room between viewings. I hope this is something they do in season 2.

Agree with this completely. Zimmer often puts down his own playing and while he is not a virtuoso pianist, he can play decently I’m sure. Some composers often tend to use self deprivation about their skills as a way of expressing themselves, this is something I’ve heard many composers do. As you said, Djawadi graduated Berklee where he stated out with guitar after which he started studying composition, both orchestral and jazz.

I think that being a good pianist is not at all a requirement for composing great music. A composer’s main instrument might be cello or guitar or piano etc and the quality of the music they write is not dependent on their proficiency at performing piano.

Yes the Feyd theme in the Arena track is definitively the same as in Seduction. The theme can also be heard in Song of the Sisters (in the latter half of the track) and that arrangement is quite similar to Seduction. However, there’s also a really cool vocal continuation/variation section of the theme in the suite which was sadly never used in the movie. The Chime theme is also in Part One but the tuning of the bells/notes are a bit different. It plays in the middle of Stillsuite and in an unreleased cue where Paul looks at the film books (before Hunter Seeker). It’s a nice little idea which works so well with the Vast Mystery harmonies playing alongside it (like in Stillsuits).

Here is my complete cover set for Ramin Djawadi's 3 Body Problem S1: https://flic.kr/s/aHBqjBibLE I really like the show and thought that the art designs for the promotional material, including the character posters (which are often dull) were inventive so I tackled most of the available material.

3 Body Problem Episodes 1-3 Super impressed with this show, one of the most exiting new shows in quite a while. Full of mysteries and interesting ideas. Looking forward to see how it unfolds and I believe S2 is being written right now!

3 Body Problem Season 1 by Ramin Djawadi:

Really looking forward to S2! Will start a rewatch sometime in May.

I hope they do it like in the old days and keep the actors at least for M but preferably also Moneypenny and Q in place. There’s no need to replace them.

I read that there will be a 4th movie. Honestly I enjoyed the 3rd movie quite a bit. The scene where he sports a VR headset and walks around London fighting people with baguettes brought the house down in the theatre where I saw it a few years ago.

I have it on good authority that this unconventional Bond will end up creeping through a toilet in the last act of Bond 26 In all seriousness, ATJ was good in Nocturnal Animals and Tenet, which are the only movies I've seen him in so I'm cautiously optimistic if this casting is real. I would have liked to see Henry Cavil, Richard Madden or Idris Elba though even if it's a few years too late for Elba. They really should have cast him a few years ago as he would have been really good.

Listened to the OST again and am really impressed! The development of the themes from the first score is top notch and I love how the Haderach/Messiah theme is used alongside the Arrakis/Dune A and the Dune Main theme. And the love theme is up there with Zimmer's most beautiful themes, the combination of the melody with the accompaniment motif played by the horn sounding instrument and the bell phrase in Kiss the Ring is amazing! I hope that a longer album or a Sketchbook album is planned because the sonic world of these scores is so rich and deserves more album releases! I'm really looking forward to hearing A Quiet Time Between Storms live at the new WOHZ concert later this spring. I think it will be a slightly more orchestral arrangement which could be a nice alternate!

That’s a shame, was looking forward to hear Gi revisit the themes he wrote for the first score

“As it was written, Lisan al gaib” - Stilgar “Why did the emperor choose this path and who will our next oppressors be?” - Chani ”Long live the fighters” - Paul Atreides “My desert, my Arrakis, my dune” - Barron Harkonnen - We are House Atreides. There is no call we do not answer. There is no faith that we betray“ - Duke Leto
