Hilarious. Thank you.

I’d like to know what the game even is. Is it necessary for the 3 screens to be rotating at all times? Perhaps that is just part of the challenge.

It’s curious that despite this cultural revolution that led to founding of planet Vulcan they are still basically equals technologically. It doesn’t appear that a few thousand years of excess emotion and violent tendencies has been at all detrimental to Romulan technological advances.

Play Night Bird!

The weird 6 layer chess they have is just as baffling.

Edit: I did find this page though that explains it in great detail. http://meder.spacechess.org/3dschach/chess3d.htm

What about this one?

It will be interesting to see how bad they botch Three Body Problems US adaptation.

A big part of science fiction is how fictional technology and environments of the future that would seem very strange to us are completely normal to them. I agree that this should also extend to society itself and its speculative future progress. In the same sense that a character wouldn’t find a replicator to be strange technology it wouldn’t make sense to treat someones sexual orientation or gender to be strange if it is a social issue that was supposedly a thing of the distant past. I find that a lot of 21st century social issues seem to find their way into modern Star Trek in ways that don’t make a lot of sense.
