>>213326816 Imagine being an ageless robot trapped in the body of an old hag. R. Daneel Olivaw didn't even appear until the very end of the series unless you start at Caves of Steel which would have been a better place to begin in the Asimov Universe than Foundation.
Yes, Asimov was the first to place all his stories in the same universe.
>>213326589 (OP) Surprisingly bretty gud so far. Mostly thanks to all obnoxious characters being literally dead aside from self insert girl. But she hasn't done much so far in the season

>>213326589 (OP) Very fucking weird and mostly bad, making mockery of the source material. Awkwardly staged moments, implausible scaling of local shit and galactic scale. Trantor is depicted cool. Lee Pace kills, as always. Cleons remain the best part.
Anyone catch the retarded dance club scene where the HEAD of Foundation Intelligence is like "I'm gonna spy on the Mule, deep cover, I need you tv personalities to get me in." And they just fucking walk in and he's like, "okay see you guys later" and everyone's chill and there's no tension or security at all? Fucking awful production with this show.

>>213327788 I think the Mule will sack Trantor and Brother Dude is going to lead the underground amidst the ruins, while Brother Dawn will lead the Empire from the galactic council making the Second Foundation the de facto successor to Trantor.

>>213326861 Two good things i will say about the show are 1 - it made me read the first 3 books and 2 - they potentially managed to improve Magnifico twist by adding fake Mule.

>>213326589 (OP) It's not finished and I'm afraid they will run out of budget before wrapping a correct story, they take their sweet time like they could run for 5 seasons but I'm not sure if the ratings are enough.
>>213328364 It's confirmed to be Daneel, but I think they'll do a retarded gender switch to "reveal" it later. But the character is meant to be the "lead general" of the "Zeroth Law robots".
I also think they're including Eternity in the show and having them be the "Final Foundation" manipulating Hari Seldon to found the Foundation.

>>213326589 (OP) A few eps into S2 and so far it's kino. Reminds me of Dune, but... "Star Wars Prequel"-y.
i just read the first book and it was full of 'le underdog outwits le comically arrogant stubborn authority figure archetype' kikery. is it the same shit going forward or does it actually get good?
>start watching this as a fan of sci-fi and genuinely hoping to enjoy it >visually looks great, has some decent starting concepts with the recursive clones, robot mommy, society/dystopia predictor, etc >steadily notice the writing is actually fucking garbage >also angry young black woman x 2 >also deus ex machina moments x 10000 >inconsistent motivations and character behaviours >a pair of literal flaming faggots appear in S2 to unrealistically portray an elite 2 man spec ops team >an endlessly quipping british scoundrel appears as an unrealistic comic relief Just how better does S2 get? IMDB suggests it ends strongly but this is fast turning into boiling hot piss..
>>213329829 >>213329859 Probably the most blatant shilling I have seen here. Maybe at least change the file names you fucking dope.
The show sucks but the cgi is great and so are the cleons. Worth pirating

>>213326589 (OP) I could forgive the ugly sub Saharans , but the plot is incoherent and only has a passing connection to the Asimov trilogy. I gave up after season one.

the empire scenes are the most kino, the mule scenes are pretty good too. it's really good
>>213330595 This version of day went better is developing better than expected. I thought they'd lean more heavily into the buffoon aspect, but the last episode has shown he's just as sharp, determined and ruthless as ever.
