Foundation - TV Series (2021)

The Huntress has to be possibly the stupidest character ive seen for a long time. Her "blinded by revenge" game of thrones nonsense just makes no sense.
The amazing tech ancient battleship could barely fend off a few fighter craft and seemed to be taking a lot of damage. These amazing railguns seem to miss and have the worst slowest tracking system ever.
Second Foundation - ok fine fit it in to the timeline of course series 2 makes no sense without. 138 year stasis, very convenient, fine.. its how the shows going to follow events. fine. Good luck not boiling to death in that tiny tin can or being completely obliterated by debris..I wouldn't mind if she dies, shes also a completely emotional moron.
Space Dothraki still terrorising tent city Terminus... yeah whatever why not..... Victim culture is the only drive for tv these days.
Empire Orangeman bad Loki, walked the walk then talked the talk, killed years and years, Wakanda forever priestess after shock horror fake vision... Good for him totally worth it, destroying Asimov's very own law of robots in the process. Such respect for the author, but i guess its outdated anyway? meh
 
I'm losing faith. The overall arc is going fairly well. I'm liking the Cleon stuff. The Terminus/Anachreon plot is a car crash of bad writing and wonder mathematician is really badly written so smart but so dumb.
 
Well one good thing came of episode 9 :p

Also im glad they finally got back on track.... all be it in the most roundabout of bloody ways... grrrrr

i do like the spaceships at least.

I am really enjoying it however the huntress bow and arrow lady is really out of place. No one is angry with a bow and arrow..... No one.
 
Not a strong finish to the series. Trying to wrap up so much / move the plot on across so many storylines felt like all of it got neglected.

The strongest arc certainly seems to be the Cleons.

And without wanting to sound like a raging racist, it seems nearly every young black female actor in the shows I currently watch are absolutely appalling, and end up playing some emotionally damaged character with exceptionally poor acting skills that really start to grate with the disparity when the other actors in the show get into their stride. Hell even Dawns actor who must be <10 years old portrays his role as a young Cleon better than these 2.

The thought of watching scenes in season 2 with both gaal and savlor as the main two characters is utterly unappealing unless they take some acting lessons in between and really sell the characters.

Racist :p

it's like the token black guy in movies of the 90s and 00s

Back when we were all racist and actors like Whoopi Goldberg, Denzel Washington, Wesley Snipes, Laurence Fishbourne, Forest Whitaker, Morgan Freeman, Danny Glover etc didn't exist

strangely there were probably more "big" black actors starring in movies back then than I could name now.....

where's all the mexicans and latinos? is america racist against them? :p shouldn't there be a few of them in everything by now

are the cleons just white supremacists ?

Just came across information that the books had no clone cleons... so the best bit of this mediocre show wasn't even written by asimov

It’s a big story arc told over multiple books with multiple characters over multiple centuries. The show is loosely (by the finest of threads) following the basic outline of the series and using plot devices - like the Cleons - to keep the cast much smaller. GoT started off great and then spiralled downhill once they began to and eventually ran out completely of book material to draw from. Foundation has the book material from start to finish, but it’s largely been discarded from the get-go and unfortunately what they’ve come up with in it’s stead is pretty ropey.

Just the latest Hollywood butchering of Asimov’s (grand in scope/scale but often dry to read) work unfortunately.
 
That ending to ep 10 was quiet possibly the most contrived and most BS of pretty much anything I've ever watched..
As for the other plot lines? Just why? Who cares? They are so drawn out now....
If this manages to make 8 series ill eat my robotic skinsuit.....
Don't forget we moved on 140 odd years now.... EVRYONE is dead... entire cast dead now....
