pounds, to be precise 😊

Felt the exact same way! Feel like the creators really crafted this scene for the readers of the book. It just hits so much harder knowing what will happen 😢

@@Dk-kx3xx It was so beautifully done. I’ve watched this clip 5-10 times & can’t picture a better shot for shot.

@@litbace7205 Indeed! So >$16million USD afaik

I'm not a book reader, so this scene is the only scene so far that hasn't paid off for me. Will says in the hospital that he isn't on the side of humanity, but only on Jin's side. So it doesn't make sense to me that he's gonna buy a fictitious star for Jin to help the war efforts. So I don't want to be spoiled with details, but can anyone answer if this is scene gonna pay off (or at least be relevant) later in the series?

Just wait til you find out how important the star is on many levels.

It sends a medsage that this idiot should have never been given 17 million to piss away like a child. He could have named a star himself. But he paid some random con artist who said he owned all the stars to sell. How stupid can you be? There were millions of other ways he could have actually done some good. Helped starving children, saved thousands of lives with medical care. Oh no, but he needed an organization to tell him he owned a star and he showed his last act on earth was as useless and pathetic as his whole life. I liked will and i lost all respect for him. There is nothing romantic or dymbolic about beimg scammed and everyone who thinks it is great is just a big of a tool. He could have started a foundation where they name stars and take the money to heal sick kids. He could have done it for free or made a pretty plaque for nothing and helped in ways that actually made a difference. This is an act of a selfish child.

Yun Tianming bought a star

same all while I didnt connect that much to will, it actually suprised me how much of an impact the song had.

It really did The scene is much less powerful without it

Lana Del Ray makes anything worse 💀

​@@chriscunningham8703 i thought COVID ended, guys here's a man with symptoms of COVID a.k.a NO TASTE

The lyrics are oddly precise to the story. From the Video Game to “heaven is a place on earth with you” to “I hear you like the bad girls”. I was surprised to learn it’s an old song. Kudos to the producers.

@@chriscunningham8703 Bro does not know the story

HER star has such an important role to play. This scene is so pure & beautiful for many reasons.

How many years do we have to wait till we can see this masterpiece sequels.

Maybe someone already does

Why is the star so important? Is it related to the series?​@@FigmentForever

@@Whodat__whodat Very important down the road…

Yun Tianming and his fairy tales.

Same ! My heart just lit up .

Same

Me too,because I just listen.

Yun Tianming and his star

Tianming and the star he gifted

It was actually selfish, and he was dying anyway.

​@@B0bbyLawton But how? He was selfish when he tried to confess to Jin, but how is this selfish. He's donating money for a cause for the humanity(the organisation is raising funds for a global defence).

@@SlammedDownBigStyle3265 I think it’s less about selfish or selfless and more about just having a lot of love left over for Jin with no way to express it. Been there.

Agreed. Surprisingly, unlike the books, the highlight of the show has been the human connections rather than the science fiction.

Omg I am so relieved he doesn't die at the end!!

Haven't read the book but I guess the enemy fleet did reach him

This comment is kinda spoilery since you're meant to believe he's lost and that's it after the staircase project fails. idk why when stories get adapted a lot of people who've read the source material feel the need to be so coy and "I know more than you" about stuff

@@noasegal4062no he’s pretty dead, but only his physical form :)

Dude, you realise how big a spoiler that is...?

打雷姐：大刘，幸会幸会！大刘：打雷姐，幸会幸会！

Same.

Is that the final book?

@@banhbotloc94 yes that is the last book of the trilogy.

Hopefully in the show they will alter who “the two” are and do them justice

@@TheFFilippthat’s what I’m counting on 😢 tbh I think that’s what they’ll do since they’re building Will and Jin’s relationship

You dying 😢??

Lmao yes

The stone markings clearly say he had somewhat a happy life, not with Jin (Xin) though. Before that, even in the San-ti ship, he was a popular story writer and a good farmer, maybe a bit lonely, but overall not that bad.

@@alvinnnliu Oh, I totally understand your point dude, but imo without love or anyone to share it with, life has no real meaning. He never got to be with the one he loved, the one he did everything for, while being cut off by the rest of humanity and enslaved by its oppressors. I'd say that's pretty damn sad, my man.

Jin: I love him! Not: I loved him. So don't be disheartened!

The lords will save him maybe

Go read it, and thank yourself later.

I didn't read the books, but I read the synopsis. *Spoilers* You will see him again with his very own book of fairy tales, and he won't have to be a humble physicist anymore. I'll say nothing else, but look forward to his works.

@@BigMac8000 Really?! Yey I'm so happy and looking forward to it. Thank you!

He'll go down in history as one of the greatest human beings.

Maybe audiobooks?

Yes. If you are fan of science fiction and someone who won't get bored by slow pace

It’s a series. Expect 8 ~1hour long episodes.

@@alora89 It's terrible. The chinese did it better.

yep

​@@Kumire_921 subjective

No, but Will buying the star is a really important plot. You will see.

Video games by Lana del Rey

Well the whole program is donating large sums of money to help humanity and in return you get your own star. I think Will felt like that this was a good use of money. 1. He can help humanity. 2. He can express his love for Jin.

Episode 7

Oh man... You have no idea 😅

thats namign a star i pretty sure this is QUITE literally buying the actual star

@@WardNightstone I bet you can do much when you own a star, right?

This man is going to save the entire human species, give him some credit. The storytelling is on next level in complexity and will take hundreds of years to pay off.

Omg he doesn't die he doesn't die!!!!!

@@roastpork5437 I'm not going to give him his dues simply because you know the story and you expect me to not go through the feelings the story illicits. My impression is without the nuances you're aware of. I look at his current situation as being frustrating because it really tells the an old age story of unrequited love where he deserved to be love. His selfish actions that are depicted in the story can be taken in different lights but it makes him human. Humans can make stupid decisions; stupid decisions doesn't mean they're the wrong choice. Regardless, im hoping his story does have a pay off. And with the story telling, i know it'll be worth it. 😍🙌 I will give him this credit. Jin missed out a beautiful soul in this life. 😫😭🤧

@@noasegal4062 YYYYAAASSSSS. I hope he becomes a benevolent God tier leader. I did read an article on some of the changes between the book and the series with the creation of the Oxford 5, im excited to see how they explore the human experience of 1 person through 5 (or is it 4 till we get back Willy back).

Will will go down in history as one of the greatest men of the human race.
