Creation Myths

Great Season 2 and a little more faithful to the books (excluding of course the empire and Gaal/Salvor arcs), having a mix of the books arcs of Bel Riose in secound Novel and Foundation arc of Hober Mallow of Book one.

The Foundation arc story it´s some more faithful to the book than first season;because like the books, the structure of galactic spirit and religion created by the foundation in peripheral worlds exists in the books, and the clergyman Poly Verisof it´s an important religious character in the first book in this religious part created by foundation and like the books the Foundation is growing much in power and confronting the empire. And i Liked of the portrayal of Hober Mallow and Bel Riose and your storylines in season 2 ; Similar to the book,Mallow is as an astute merchant and a little rascal like Han Solo (but Mallow himself was the inspiration for the creation of Han Solo in Star Wars by George Lucas) and Bel Riose unlike the book it´s not young, but Ben Daniels (a Very Underrated actor from shows also underrated like The Exorcist) make a very human portrayal of Riose and at the same time a very vingative and rebel general against the empire like in the books. I Know that the fate of the two are very different from the first two books, but the live actions versions of the two have more charisma and personality than the book versions.

Overall, season 2 it´s better than season 1 that´s was only ok, but because of empire arc that even dont´exist in the books, because the other two arcs are weak (Salvor and Gaal), but i feel that foundation arc, Gaal Dornick & Salvor Hardin and empire arc are balanced in quality this season, especially the part of Mallow and Terminus against the Empire.

And for the last i praise the entire cast and the characters who even exists in the novels, like Brother Constant (a female priest of the religion of foundation with Poly Verisof) and specially the all cast of Genetic Dinasty arc, because meanwhile don´t exist in the books this arc it´s very very good and saved season one from being bad but actors like Terrence Mann (brother Dusk), Laura Birn (the android Demerzel) and of course Lee Pace as the menacing and charismatic emperor Brother Day/Cleon were the peak of season1 and i agree that he was the best character and acting of season 1 and now in season 2 meanwhile Day(Pace) it´s again one the best characters of season 2, the same season have also great portrayals and characters in much more numbers that season 1.

I Think David Goyer (The Solo Showrunner) evolved very much from season 1 to 2 but i think that lke in many shows the season 1 was only to introduce the things, concepts, universe and the characters and the real thing was to happen in season 2 and i was right, season 2 delivers.

I can´t wait for season 3 (show renewed) for the Long awaited Mule Arc with Bayta Darrel, her husband Toran Darrell, the scientist Ebling Miss and The Clown of street Called Magnificus and the fans of Foundation consider the Mule Arc ´´The Empire Strikes Back´´of the Foundation saga, both in Quality both in tragedy in story.

And for the final note: Isaac Asimov would liked the apple show(especially secound season), even with the changes and i think that he also liked the idea of a genetic dinasty.

The only reason I persevered with season 1 is the fine visual design and the story of the Cleons. The rest seemed rather flat and poorly thought out.

Season 2 felt like it was going even further downhill, but the final 3 episodes really had some true quality in the story, script and characters. If they can keep to this last part of the season's quality, in the next season then I'll definitely be watching. There was some real emotional gravity, especially in the character of Demerzel and the true nature of her relationship with Empire. It's not quite Asimov's story but it could finally start living up to it.

I thought episode 9 was good, this was the best episode of the season. Tying everything in unbelievably. Absolutely blew me away. I hope they can continue with this brilliant series! Fantastic!

I loved season 1 and thought the premise and idea of this series was very intriguing to me. Season 2 started a little slow and I wasn't sure were they were going with it until episodes 9 & 10. This writing for me is on a Game of Thrones level. Ok some of the acting can be a bit ropey at times but the ideas and execution is just perfect. Day's character and the range of the actor playing him make me excited to see what the 3rd season will bring! All hail Foundation, Game of Thrones in space!

Good finale. Let's hope there is a season 3. The acting especially, Lee Pace was superb. Makes me wonder why some actors and actresses can be so good in this and awful in other films or series. Anyhoo this wasn't a shoot me up like the last episode but tried to fill in the gaps. Quite successfully in my book. I'm surprised that a lot of reviewers didn't like it but there we go. Not everybody's cup of rosy Lee. The CGI, acting, dialogue, script, cinematography was excellent as it has been through 20 episodes so far. Looking forward to season 3 next year if IMDB is to be believed. What next?????

Foundation was a surprise to me. After a long lasting cacophony of mistreated Sci-Fi IPs that were exploited and micromanaged to oblivion, here comes a gem out of the blue. Exceptional acting and story. The visual effects do not drown the story telling, but when they are used they serve a purpose and are of high quality.

It makes you wonder how they could produce something like that for only eight million per episode. It's clear that when talented people who understand and love science fiction are involved and left alone to do their work, the outcome will be great. As simple as that.

All actors performed well, but the performances of Lee Pace and Laura Birn blew me away. It doesn't mean that the rest where anything less than great, However, those two kept me glued to the screen every time they appeared.
