I just watched the first 2 episodes of "Foundation"

Why have they done this? Why take one of the most influential and interesting science fiction series ever written and cram it into a young adult novel framework. I'm actually seething right now.

I don't care that they made all the main characters black women. Honestly I think everyone being like a Southpark future 'goobacks' would have been even better but don't give a shit about that very much. But if you're literally incapable of writing flaws into characters played by black women then don't cast them. Shit is so obnoxious. At one point she literally lectures a bunch of presumably the smartest people Seldon can find to organize a galactic encyclopedia about their bigoted assumption of base ten. Having chosen ones in the foundation series proves the show creators didn't read of understand the series.

Didn't read this. Saw emojis and got gist.

99% of Asimov books are men sitting around in rooms talking to each other. What did you expect?

Lee Pace spends a whole episode wandering around the desert with no shirt on. I give it a thumbs up.

Isaac Asimov is one of the rare people who has auditory memory, which is why the vast majority of his books are dialogue.

Empire's storyline is the best part of the show, and Lee Pace carries it exceptionally.

Yes . Only disappoitment with the three emperors is that I originally thought the oldest one was Nigel Terry from Excalibur.

I was shocked to find out Lee Pace played him too. Make up team did an excellent job.
