Netflixs Emmy-nominated 3 Body Problem, inspired by Cixin Lius Remembrance Of Earths Past book series, portrays a strikingly gruesome scene with important implications for the future. The slow and definitive destruction of the repurposed oil tanker Judgment Day and the roles and reactions by characters Auggie Salazar (Eiza Gonzlez), Raj Varma (Saamer Usmani), and Thomas Wade (Liam Cunningham) foreshadow what is to come in 3 Body Problem season 2.
