Foundation (Apple TV+, Sept 24 2021) TV Show • Page 3

I feel like what was supposed to be a huge reveal in this last episode had been implied since the beginning of the show.

 

What does it mean in practice though? Like, what are the implications of her being the real ruler? I've read a few articles that touch on it, but not really explaining what it means

 

I was thinking it could lead to another robot rebellion. I’m sure she’s not really the only robot around despite what Dusk thinks.

 

Holy fuck that finale absolutely DESTROYED me.


Ok so I've never read the books but I'm thinking I kinda want to now. So for any book readers who are watching the show also, would it be smart to pick up during a certain part in whichever book they're currently in? Or have their been noticeable differences or changes made that would make just starting from the first book better?

 

I haven't watched the finale yet, but from what I'm aware, the books really only refer to the beginning of the first season, and everything else seen since then has basically been made up, especially the genetic dynasty stuff.

 

Really?!? Huh, super interesting. Guess I should def read the books as their own thing then.

 

I've read the main trilogy and just picked up the prequels at a yard sale. The show is more a remix of the ideas and characters in the books with healthy dose of original material than a close adaptation. The other thing about the trilogy is that they're collections of short stories and novellas that were originally published separately. They don't read like an epic novel series, which kind of put me off of them for a long time.

 

Overall thoughts on the season are a weak front half but the back half was great. Felt like it meandered and dragged a lot those first five or so episodes and then they crammed in so much at the end of the season.

 

I absolutely love this show. Just watched both seasons over the last couple of weeks and it's one of the most interesting and fun things I've seen in a while. Also it's one of the best looking tv shows ever made, pretty astounding how good this looks. I can't wait for season 3 to see where it goes next.

 

Im only 2 episodes in but its already such a step up from last season.

also Lee Pace is absurdly hot.

@Jason Tate links from The Hollywood Reporter seem to be the only ones I've come across that don't revert to the headline text for the link in the post; any way to fix that? Not a big deal if not

 

It's them blocking the scrapper that gets the title.

 

First trailer for Foundation season 3 is out

 

Feels like they threw more money into season 3; looks huge. Excited.

 

Can't wait!

 

I truly do not remember a thing from season 2

 

I watched season 1 and liked it but I haven't had to catch up on season 2 because I been checking out other shows instead but I haven't watched the trailer but I will check out season 2 because I finally have a free weekend this weekend so I'll use that to watch Foundation season 2

 

Season 2 was fucking amazing, especially the end. The stakes couldn't be higher, I expect a crazy S3.

Bel Riose was the standout of the season, such a great character.
