It's been probably 15-20 years since I read the books, so my recollection of the specifics is real fuzzy, but I really enjoyed the first two episodes. The second episode's end was a bummer because I really enjoy Jared Harris, but hopefully we'll see more of him in flashbacks or whatever. Loving the thing they did with the emperor.

Isn't psychohistory basically just proto-chaos theory?

I have a vague recollection that one of the books maybe equated it to studying gasses? I.e. you have gently caress-all ability to say anything about a specific particle/human unless you study it in detail, but you can make reasonably good predictions about the behavior of the larger whole without studying each individual particle/human.

ETA: But more concretely "magic space math".

About two-thirds thru the latest episode, and it's wild how the same show runs the whole gamut from super interesting (Gaal), to being kinda cool (Lee Pace) to me just wanting the scenes to finish (Terminus)
