Foundation (Apple TV+, Sept 24 2021) TV Show • Page 4

might try to start it this weekend

 

God damn this season is good so far.

 

AHHHHH as soon as I heard Blake Ritson's voice I knew it was him.

 

I need to know so much more about The Inheritance.

 

Right?! We're almost at the end of S3, we better get a fourth now because there's zero chance they're wrapping up that storyline....I need to know more! This has been an awesome season so far, The Mule actor is great and there's so many new storylines so far I'll be extremely upset if there is no next season. But yeah, Day and the inheritance and his whole arc has been awesome so far, it might be my favorite performance of his in all seasons. Best Cleon.

 

MUSIC TO MY EARS

 

haven't started S3 yet, but the renewal notice prompted me to start it from the beginning to catch up. let's hope the new showrunners don't fuck it up (at least Goyer still has an EP credit)

 

I'm not familiar with the books so I don't know how much can be gotten out of the franchise, but depending on how S3 ends it may or may not replace S2 as my favorite. While it's a continuation of S2, it's planting lots of seeds that you just know will only pay off LATER, so knowing a S4 (and maybe even more) is coming....S3 is is kicking off stuff I can't wait to see get continued.

 

i haven't read them either yet (although i own all of them, birthday gifts from a few years ago). i've heard that S3 primarily touches on the end of book 2, Foundation and Empire, and that S4 would mostly cover a good chunk of book 3, Second Foundation. i know Goyer's original plan was 8 seasons, so the other 4 would theoretically cover elements from the other 4 books/other things mentioned in Asimov's book series. but with the state of streaming/Paramount, the change in showrunners, etc., i'm still doubtful they'll go that long. still curious to see how much they adapt (despite apparently steering pretty far from the source material in cases).

 

Yeah with the current state of steaming, it's anyone's guess really. That's interesting though, that this season is basically the ending of book 2. I assume there's plenty of time skips/jumps in the books as it's scifi and QUITE the story, so I definitely see why this season is planting the seeds of future storylines. There are themes the show has been vague about that is slowly coming to the front as S3 goes on, so seeing that S4 should be based on the beginning of the next book leads me to believe there will be constants throughout the series even if we have jumps.

I do wonder how off-putting the differences have been between the books and show. Like I might pick the books up but I would hate to have my view of the show soured because the books end up *that* different.

 

WHAT THE FUCK DID I JUST WATCH

Lol wow. Show went in almost the complete opposite j was thinking. Seriously WTF. SO glad it's getting a S4.
