SPOILER ALERT: The following reveals plot points from season one of Netflix’s 3 Body Problem
Who is Thomas Wade? As humanity readies its response to the approaching San-Ti fleet in season one of 3 Body Problem, little is revealed in the Netflix series about the person apparently leading the effort to save humankind.
“This guy, the man who has tried to save humanity is probably the least human of all the characters that are that are in there,” Liam Cunningham, the Irish actor who plays Wade, tells Deadline.
The show’s creators, David Benioff, D.B. Weiss and Alexander Woo, have just revealed 3 Body Problem will run to three seasons, allowing them to finish telling the story they are adapting from Liu Cixin’s Remembrance of Earth’s Past trilogy of sci-fi novels. Season one spans time and space to show humans making contact with aliens, the San-Ti. Despairing of our race’s failings, some humans side with the San-Ti. A group of brilliant physicists, the Oxford Five, meanwhile, become central to efforts to fight back when it appears the earth-bound aliens aren’t too keen on cooperation, beaming the panic-inducing message ‘You Are Bugs’ onto screens around the world.
Earth’s would-be new inhabitants are on their way here. The silver lining is that they are 400 years away. The man who appears to be coordinating efforts to resist them is Thomas Wade.
Who gave him this power?
We don’t know who Wade reports to, or his background. While he gets some of the best lines in season one, he remains an enigma. Cunningham is as much in the dark as the rest of us – and is just fine with that.
“Who gave him this power, where did he get this power from? This guy from a little island who [in one scene] is saying to the best engineers of the

Book adaptations are tricky. Just look at the films made from Stephen King novels for proof.

Neil Jordan‘s “Interview With the Vampire” film adaptation released in 1994, Tom Cruise was already a worldwide star. He had led the highly successful “Risky Business” and “Top Gun” and received an Oscar nomination for “Born on the Fourth of July.” But, not everyone was convinced he could play the titular vampire, Lestat de Lioncourt, and his casting caused a considerable amount of backlash among fans of Anne Rice’s original book. In an excerpt from his new memoir published in The Telegraph, director Jordan reflected on his decision to cast Cruise opposite Brad Pitt and the outrage that followed, recalling how he originally offered the role to Daniel Day-Lewis.
“Brat Pack” – a collection of popular young actors in the 1980s — have made it clear that they weren’t, and in some cases, still aren’t, fans of the group nickname.The phenomenon started with the 1985 New York magazine cover by David Blum. He had a night out in Los Angeles with Emilio Estevez, Rob Lowe, and Judd Nelson, and decided to coin the now-iconic phrase which was inspired by the “Rat Pack,” a group of entertainers (including Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin) from the 1940s and 1950s.Estevez, Lowe, Nelson, Andrew McCarthy, Demi Moore, Anthony Michael Hall, Molly Ringwald and Ally Sheedy make up the Brat Pack, as they all appeared in the ensemble of classic ‘80s films such as “St.
Babyface, “My, My, My.”That was the feeling in the house at the Apollo on Tuesday night when both Kenneth “Babyface” Edmonds and Usher Raymond IV — but really, only one name is necessary for each — were honored at the iconic Harlem institution as it celebrated its 90th anniversary with its annual spring benefit.No doubt — it was the ultimate soul-man showtime at the Apollo, raising more than $3 million for the nonprofit organization that has been the music mecca for everyone from Louis Armstrong and Ella Fitzgerald to James Brown and Aretha Franklin.Those velvet seats were feeling extra cushy on this night.After 2007 “American Idol” winner Jordin Sparks opened the night with a medley of classics, it was all about the boys 90 years after the Apollo opened on Jan. 26, 1934, turning 125th Street into hollowed ground for generations of African-American artists.Given the fancy footwork that took Usher to the Super Bowl halftime stage this year, it was fitting that a dance performance including hits such as “Caught Up,” “Burn” and of course “Yeah!” paid tribute to the 45-year-old singer before he accepted the 2024 Icon Award.“It’s an Icon Award, so I feel like I can take a little more time,” Usher joked as he began his acceptance speech.And then he told the crowd that was standing in salute, “Don’t sit down — I love it.
British actor Jude Law once had a “flirtation” about playing Superman.
Jack Dunn When series creators David Benioff, D.B. Weiss and Alexander Woo first crafted the moment Jin Cheng (Jess Hong) and Thomas Wade (Liam Cunningham) enter the game in “3 Body Problem,” they made it so they “would put on the headset and then there’ll be a moment of black and then they go into the game.” But when they saw the scene cut together, they felt there was “something missing.” So for inspiration, they reached to another popular sci-fi series for inspiration: “Severance.” “We’re actually influenced by ‘Severance’ in the elevator scenes, you know where they have that kind of weird camera effect,” said writer and co-creator Benioff.
Since Stephen Warren and Johnnie Ingram created the series in 2020, along with the help of showrunner Peter LoGreco, We’re Here has won four Emmys and shined a light on the drag and LGBTQ communities in small towns around the U.S. With today’s political climate, especially in smaller conservative areas where Pride events are being cancelled and hate is being directed towards the drag community, the trio decided that a format change was necessary for the fourth season to really get their message across: “There’s definitely a lot more love out there than hate.”

Ever wanted to see Pharrell Williams‘ life and career get the movie treatment? No? Well, what about if LEGO® was involved? Slightly more interesting now?

Ellise Shafer Rebel Wilson thinks the idea that only gay actors should play gay characters is “total nonsense.” In a new interview on BBC Radio 4’s “Desert Island Discs” (via The Guardian), the “Pitch Perfect” star brought up the topic when host Lauren Laverne asked if she felt there was a different standard with the kinds of jokes women comedians can make compared to men. “I don’t think there’s a different standard, it’s more this thing about, if you are something then now you’re allowed to joke about it,” she said. “So say, if you are overweight, you can say jokes.
When Nicola Shaw, now 57, from Dumfries, Scotland ventured into a gym as a middle-aged wife and mum, she never imagined that lifting weights would give her the confidence to branch out on her own and reinvent her life after her marriage crumbled.
