This is from quite far back in the thread, but this is untrue. Here's the monologue from the first episode:

"When I was a child, I told my mother I wanted to learn every planet in the Galactic Empire, beginning in the centre and moving out to Star's End.
Each night she told me stories. I travelled light-years, my mind expanding to hold more and more worlds. But I never reached Terminus.
Straddling the farthest reaches of civilisation, unsettled by man, it was the end. And its story remained dark to me until many years later.
Until it became my story. Until it became the only story."

The "light-years travelled" are in Gaal's imagination. Her mother's stories just never got to Terminus because it's an obscure planet. This doesn't preclude Gaal from turning up on Terminus at some point in the show. are obviously other ways to achieve this).

The communication relay was taken down, they explicitly could not communicate with the rest of the empire

That was the best episode yet.

Also just want to stress AGAIN that their ENTIRE plan revolved entirely on taking hostage the commander of an Empire warship and the way they executed this plan was to.... shoot the warship out of the sky and have it hit the ground at speed and blow up, and just assumed he would survive this enormous explosion.

It would be like some admiral taking over a derelict nuclear aircraft carrier while pointing an old sword at people all the time.

I really hate the huntress chick, like we get it, you're mad, and a psycho, jfc so one note it's tiring. on the other hand I actually care about the foundation crew now if only by a sliver just because I hope they space that bitch.

Seriously, they've completely forgotten about this space obelisk. There's like literally no way it can even impact the story now since it's lightyears away.

I expect the upcoming Wheel of Time thread to not have spoilers for "The Eye of the World" book which came out some 37 years ago.

Magic clear boat just really is the perfect encapsulation of the effort put into this show.... two oars appear out of nowhere... gently caress you that's why

That incessantly stupid neck-snap was the dumbest possible way to resolve that conflict.

Never did watch the third season, I assume it was bad.

Episode 8 is not too bad, and certainly memorable.

I'm not sure how you make a compelling modern TV show that's about the grand scale of social forces, and has all its characters just being swept along by forces outside their control, without making the characters and their stories feel useless and unsatisfying.

Eiba posted:

That doesn't really seem this show's style.

there’s even a scene where they basically say it out loud

Wheel of Time and Foundation were the two most improved second seasons I've seen in years, though in very different ways. Wheel of Time found its footing in capturing the theme/spirit of the books even where the stories diverged; Foundation did no such thing, but it was a lot more fun than its first season so I didn't care if it barely felt like it was trying to adapt the books.
