    Barely connected.

    I personally advise you to hold off starting till maybe this season finale, or just do the seasons in a binge.

    The beginnings of the seasons seem really, really bad, borderline unwatchable at times, then somehow turn on a dime to pretty cool sci-fi.

        The first 2 episodes on an unpopulated water planet where they’re hanging out on a magic wooden raft that’s somehow survived a century of megahurricanes?

        The magic pixie dream girl who is all-knowing yet constantly indecisive and neurotic, having to be calmed down and cared-for by her actually functional daughter?

        Don’t get me wrong, outside of Gaal the other plots weren’t that bad, but she was the worst part of s1 and like I said the story got pretty good once she was no longer part of it.

        Needs more poly and constance, they’re fun. Honestly how bad can a scene be when Jared Harris himself can’t save it?

      The secret to watching Foundation is to fast forward anything that isn’t Empire.

        … I mean… you’re not wrong.

        I actually don’t mind salvor, she’s… interesting, at least when her idiot mom isn’t around.

        Just wish she wasn’t as passive, Gaal is somehow the leader even though she has 0 fucking clue what she’s doing or where she’s going, and is in a panic most of the time.

        Her best idea this season so far has been “I don’t know what we should do next, I got it, Dr. Seldon, you need to choke me, and keep choking me until I pass out… no, it’s OK, I don’t need a safe word… daddy.”
