Skin in the Game

Absolutely no way of telling who was in command of the room while The Mule taunted Dawn, but one way or another Bayta - to echo the episode title - sure has skin in the game.

We are quite pointedly reminded who Preem is and that. I think, will be significant in this season or next (everything crossed).

The Galactic powers try to play a hand, but it looks like they may have played a good hand badly, since they don't know about the doomsday device that Dusk even managed to hide from Demerzel. Somewhere's likely to get all blowed up.

And Brother Dude ends up on the receiving end of a priest who doesn't care for anything but the trappings of power. But if Day doesn't have a reserve supply of nanites I'll be pretty surprised. If robo-skull manages to handshake with Demerzel, then....

And Vault! Hari clearly has his own agenda.

This could get messy. Very messy.

But, Oh Bayta! Just carry on being you. You rock.

I can only assume this script and story has been produced by some AI that has been force fed the worst sci-fi that can be found, definitely not any actual Asimov Foundation books, and come up with the most empty, cliched, incoherent, meaningless, and frankly uninteresting and boring version of "Foundation" possible.

This story keeps getting better to the point that I fear the series won't get whatever it needs to continue on with this most intriguing story that keeps getting better because I want more and to see it to its ultimate conclusion. Regardless, I keep getting drawn in further than I anticipated. I thoroughly enjoy the production, the sets, the story line, the premise as it were. It's captivating. I'm a fan.

I read the book, and still am a great fan of the show.

Seldon was the MVP of the episode. I loved every second of his time on the screen, and cannot wait to see what's gonna happen next.

I really cannot understand why people complain about it, when the market doesn't even offer something close to this show.

There is a certain part of a certain music on the album on the series i really love and listen again and again. This episode just made that melody into something of a plot device.

I was hesitant about the series at first but it gets better and better each episode. There are things that are completely TV inventions, not in the books, and those parts are somehow my favorite parts about the show.

All I ask is, more Emperor, less Gaal Dornick.
