3 Body Problem Bosses And Rosalind Chao Tease What Really Happened to Wenjie
Warning: The following contains spoilers from 3 Body Problem Season 1.
There is an unspoken rule that you don’t see a body after someone has died on a TV show, you can’t say for certain that they are dead. It is soap opera logic, but it has been used to bring beloved characters and actors back to their TV shows for decades. The question is: Would 3 Body Problem pull the same trick the high-profile apparent death of Wenjie?
Wenjie (Rosalind Chao) travels back to China in the Season 1 penultimate episode, overwhelmed with guilt that the San-Ti have turned on the humans and she’s the reason they are still en route to invade. We’re not sure what she expected to happen when she invited a more advanced alien race to come visit, but the weight of her unilateral decision really hit her at the end of this first season.
