    I dunno; there are leading characters that I don’t like such as

    • Gaal is a mathematician who acts mostly on emotion.
    • Tellem is too cunning, and I don’t see any chance Gaal and Salvor are going to get ahead of her unless with a weird chance.
    • Queen Sareth does not look like a queen but is a delinquent student from a YA book.
  • They’re leaving the fate of Hari Seldon suspiciously unresolved.

    Also, I love the how the spacers and the fate of the empire are being explored. The books are on my favorite series but I love the idea of fleshing out new stories in the same universe.

      I don’t understand the point of giving that seldon a body in the previous episode only to kill him in the next one.

    I remember watching the first season of the show and I was pleasantly surprised. I don’t know the books, but this was high quality sci fi.

    But I do not understand why they drowned Hari Seldon, just after he got a body for some reason. There was some mystery that has been killed off. And now they killed Salvor Hardin. Weird.

    I feel like the Plot of Empire is still the most interesting one.

    Any chance of a last minute rescue for Salvor?

    Tellem Bond is a nasty villain.

    My favorite new characters this season are Brother Constant and Cleric Poly.

    The Spacers are cool as fuck.

    This was a surprising turn for some, really rooting for princess Vespa, and the scene with constance and hober about getting down just took on a morbid tone.

    Also, Hari needs to get gud, his k:d ratio is just barely 1.

    I like that they’re growing the universe better, this season started out terrible and now is really filling out.
