    Sooooo boring

    Useless characters, nonsense dialogues, unbearable love stories. Plus all the more usual horrific stupid behaviors and terrible acting.

    And in the end everything comes down to this boring, boring, boring show.

    Lee Pace and the emperors carrying the show

    This show should be about the emperors. Lose Salvor Hardin and the Poundshop Foundation. Lose Gaal Dornick. Maybe even lose Sheldon since the show is a travesty of the books anyway. But Lee Pace is very watchable. The secrets of the three emperors, who are all clones of Cleon the First, would make a better story.

    Sorry to say, most of the actors are not that charismatic. A few stand out but most would not be missed.

    The reasons the haters are still watching is because

    (a) we aren't haters. A lot of us signed up to see Asimov's classic thriller/adventure story. Instead we have gotten something like a preteens school play, albeit with worse acting and script. We are like the Advocate at Hari Seldon's trial, we can't believe that Asimov's masterpiece has vanished into Apple's soggy paws and been turned into this uninspiring mush. We don't know if the TV series will continue to decay for thirty thousand years, but the recent shows don't hold out much hope.

    (b) We have a dream, without Seldon's mathematics as support but we still hope, that instead of sending its PR team to blindly award the series 10/10 every week, the showrunners will spend the money on some decent writers instead.

    Assimov wouldn't like this

    As a random TV series, it could be entertaining if it didn't look so much like a remake of the already mediocre Star Trek Discovery, but definitely as an adaptation of Assimov's Foundation is an insult.

    It's getting engaging

    This show was going so weak after the 2 episodes but this 7th episode will be a turning point.

    Bcs the show just started to show the actual story lines.

    Instead of building up thing for aalmost 6 ep finally it's on track so this is a better episode with engaging things happening!

    But still lot yo improve.

    • Trivia
      Azura states that the Scar means that "For the first time in centuries, we can look up and see real clouds, real stars". In the books although the people of Trantor don't enjoy the outside they are forced to visit it every year as children. This itself is a nod to Asimov's earlier Robot novels, most notably to Caves Of Steel. In the Robot novels mankind's retreat into the protection of an enclosed world causes stagnation and threatens it's existence. It is only by leaving the cities that the humans of Earth ever break free to found the Empire in which the Foundation stories are set.

      The Raven computer announces an Oxygen level of 2% at one point. This is a long way below survivable levels for a human.
