First episode 9/24 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X4QYV5GTz7c Based on the classic series by Isaac Asimov, Foundation follows the titular institution aka The Encyclopedia Galactica charged with collecting and preserving knowledge before and during the fall of the galaxy spanning Empire. The TV series looks like it is mainly adapting the later prequel books which dealt with the actual start of the Foundation and Hari Seldon's conflicts with the Emperor. Starring Jared Harris as "Hari Seldon", the creator of Psychohistory and Lee Pace as "Brother Day" part of a triumvirate of Emperors.

The books have an existing excuse that would allow them to keep Jared Harris around so they could just make it into kind of an anthology show.

Apparently the first episode is up now. Personally I ain't got time to watch it tonight.

I laughed at the "Present Day" card that popped up last week because they've been skipping around so much that it meant absolutely nothing. It did eventually shake out but still.

Explicitly showing whether or not Day had the vision was a weird decision. It would have been much better if the whole thing was ambiguous.

Salvor going "of course, genetic memories" like that made any bit of sense was very funny.

The Gaal/Salvor plot is definitely the weakest, especially now that they no longer are moored to any specific plot. Also I guess we're supposed to be at the point of the story where the Foundation is acting as a religion except we don't really get to see it because we spent all our time with characters not actually at the Foundation.

Cojawfee posted:Are the people from the foundation from last season dead now? Maybe they shouldn't wait two years between seasons for shows that are already impossible to follow. Yes, it has been 138 years since last season so all the Foundation people are dead except for Gaal and Salvor.

The problem with an active Seldon means you don't get that fun moment where they go to watch a recording to see what he says about the Mule and he stars talking about an unrelated thing.

Season 1 had computer Hari say that the Second Foundation was supposed to be at Star's End (which is from the books) but then he gave Star's End as a specific location when in the books it was just a cryptic mystery.

Quixotic1 posted:Next episode, Gaal ends up in the water as well. I made the same joke to the person I was watching this with. Just that by the end of the season the pool will be completely filled with dead bodies. Rectal Death Adept posted:We are thinking about this harder than the writers but I thought that Day seemed to realize he was destined to be forgotten as he was almost swapped out for a replacement unceremoniously and no one would have ever known. A disposable clone in a series of disposable clones. Using the marriage to become a new Cleon The First Of Something seemed like a valid motivation over just backstabbing an outspoken rival for territory. One thing that I like about this show that came up in the previous season is how the Cleons are shown to actually care about the idea that they can be replaced with an exact duplicate. Usually in media where such technology exists (like Altered Carbon) none of the characters really seem to mind the idea.

Boris Galerkin posted:Go sit in your car and close the doors and then open the windows to vent the air. What happens? That's not how an airlock works. Airlocks have to be able to remove the air from the room so they're not constantly just blasting it out into space whenever someone leaves.
