Anyone watching the new foundation series? Thought I’d post a thread for the most recent episode to see if there’s any interest.

Edit: Any book readers please put those comments with spoiler tags!

    I too appreciate the genetic dynasty story. In the original trilogy the various Emperors were featured so rarely and depicted as utterly incompetent. I think the TV adaptation does a much better job of creating a more compelling and nuanced story for the empire. Not to mention - Lee Pace and others do such an excellent job of playing these various “versions” of themselves.

    As an aside, I wonder if

    We’ll get a mention of Dors Venabili as an explanation of why Seldon knew Demerzel was a robot.

    I also wonder how or if

    Demerzel transitions to R. Daneel Olivaw in time for Season 5. Or if Olivaw is made into a separate entity for the TV adaptation.
