    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.

    A lot of missed opportunities

    Towards the end of the episode Jared Harris and Lou Llobell manage to elevate what was mostly a very bland episode that set out to check boxes to advance the story.

    A lot of little small world building continuity details that could have been added to a more profound execution of set pieces and story make the characters feel empty for most of the episode.

    mhm... its not getting better

    I still have hopes for this saga, but this episode did not raise them. They basically abandon the books completely, this is not necessary that bad. Its gives them a lot of freedom... Well I hoped for more... The Invictus story is kind of weak, and we know what will happen. They will manage to fix and run a ship the size of a small country with 3 people... The worst is of course the end... " I can feel the future".... Yes of course that makes all kind of sense in book focused on logic and math. Sorry, I call BS...

    It took Asimov 84 pages

    It took Isaac Asimov 84 pages to cover the material supposedly handled in the first season, over 10 (!) chapters.

    The showrunners bloated the material with background stories, not really making sense in the context of Foundation, and a bloated fantasy/action story, completely opposed to the original story, where intellect, not action wins the day....

    Very, very disappointing.

    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.

      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.
