[Apple+] Foundation Series

I like Seldon. That actor plays charisma with vulnerability to not make it seem like he's pulling answers out of his butt (which he usually is through exposition)

The other two are woefully written. I don't mind Gail though I didn't know that her purpose was other than to prop up Hardin. Hardin was too annoying.

They elevated her so much by word of mouth but I never saw her as a prodigy until what the bookend of this season. I guess if they explained the techno babble time cube through her and ran with that, I wouldn't see her in a bad light who stretched episodes

 

The feel and storyline of the books is largely different. The closest example I can think of is how different the Verhoven Starship Troopers is from the Heinlein book. In that case Verhoven didn’t like the book and wanted to make a movie mocking the fascist overtones of it. I’m not sure if that’s what Goyer feels about Asimov but he’s greatly altered not just the story but the message of the books.

 

This is pretty much like that.

 

I've watched the entirety of season 2. I don't really care what they call the series but season 2 was some damn good TV, a huge step up from season 1. I would not necessarily recommend Foundation strictly on the strength of season 1 but season 2 was a load of fun (after episode 1).

 

better to forget Asimov completely when watching this.

 

After finishing the season, as with season 1, Lee Pace's scenes were always the best. The Empire subplot is just better than Gail/Hari/Salvor.

 

So I hear

I enjoyed them all

Season 3 should be soon right?

expected mid year, season 3 that is

book v cinema is always challenging even if they tried to tell the same story. i am enjoying the series thus far tho ...

 

QUESTION: Is it the same guy playing Brother Dawn
Even as a teen - seems to be different dudes
I get that as a child/teen/young adult
but sometimes they have him near the same age. . . but you can tell its a different person
it's kind of funny

Rocket River

 

i think it's the same person but my recall has issues.

 

S3 premiers July 11.

 

Nice! I like that show. Also, that shot at 1:12, reminded me of Mass Effect. Not exactly the same, but had a similar effect upon first view.

 

Season 3 finale completely knocked the wind out of me. So much to process. It'll have to wait.

For the record, I have not read any of the books and all I know is the show has been renewed for S4.

 

Agreed. Some things came out of no where as far as I am concerned. I need to process
and look back on the season.

I need more explainations . . .they got me intrigued

Rocket River

 

Did you predict the reveals?

Rocket River

 

I haven't watched any season 3. There's a lot of praise for it, so I may get around to it eventually. No spoilers!

 

OH! So Sorry!
It was a good Season

Rocket River

 

S3 was the best yet. Great show,particularly after season 1. I'm concerned as they got a new showrunner for season 4 as Apple tries to cut costs, same guy who ruined fear the walking dead.

 

Rather have Mules that carry bags for me.
