Wondering if Asimov's 'Three Laws For Robotics' were his Three Laws for Women as well....
...including the Zeroth Law which means Women tirelessly guide the path of Humanity for no thanks or praise.
The TV version of Foundation is brilliant BTW, the gender swaps of some characters really brings the story into the modern age.
Foundation is... I've made my peace with it. They took a pillar of science fiction and made a science fantasy show out it. Hard to take but divorced from that original sin it is good
Two big changes they made were the Cleon clones, which are great, but also they made it a female-driven story, which has given the show a lot of its best moments
Spoilers in article but I love the actor's thoughts on playing Bayta Mallow
The Science Fiction writer Peter F Hamilton (of the Nights Dawn trilogy, great fun) enjoyed the new series of Foundation as I did. Like Peter says they've taken the base text and 'run with it'
He also gives an update as to what he's been up to
For his next trick, Zohran will use the woke mind virus to command Trump to drown himself in the sink basin of the redone Lincoln bathroom.
Just stick his head in there and breathe in.....this is the power Marx wrote about! /s
The Hunt of Anacreon by Griselda_Gimpel - Foundation (TV 2021) https://archiveofourown.org/works/73587281 via @ao3org
What if Phara had let go of her hate?
What might have blossomed between her and Salvor & Hugo?
Well that was stellar! I like how they've deviated from the original text and also what they've done with what has been kept. The tantalising reference to the lost Earth at the end as well, it's all falling into place for what I presume is the final season.
Will we see Aliens from Andromeda? They've been a number of references to it...
Thoroughly enjoying the latest season of Foundation, thoughtful space opera that takes place over centuries as all good Space Operas should.
Space is BIG, shows should express that. Ships take time to cross the vastness of Space, events can take centuries, maybe the characters will live that long too, why not?
I sit watching it with my wife and a screen open to my own little space opera, having been inspired to do it by the original book series
@MichaelWhelan I'm a big sucker for that "Lost Earth/Ancient History" vibe captured in this painting, I hope the Foundation TV series continues on to the search for the Mother Planet.
Cracking opening scene to the new season of Foundation, looking forward to the much telegraphed new baddie being played by that guy who did Euron Greyjoy who I thought was underused in those final season, the character was just shoehorned towards the end, felt it didn't give the actor justice.
One thing I like to do while watching Foundation is have a screen one my plucky underdog space civilisation surrounded by decaying empires and go to the TV "The Community wouldn't do that'

Okay, I finished #Foundation. Yeah, so I don't see what any of that has to do with the books. It's like a reboot. Weird.
I don't like The Mule in the TV series. I think he's the most unlikable character since Negan in The Walking Dead. I almost always sympathize with the bad guys, playing Devil's Advocate, enjoying the sadism or empathizing with supervillans but The Mule and Negan are too cruel for me. They scare me and I hang out with literal psychopaths. I don't like people with no limits and no sense of respect.
The cast, the writing, the scale, it all comes together in something that honours Asimov while boldly doing its own thing. Canβt wait for season 4. #FoundationTV #Asimov #AppleTVPlus #SciFi #ScienceFiction #TVReview #FoundationSeason3 #IsaacAsimov #TVThoughts #BlueskyThreads
I think I'm enjoying "Foundation" so much because I can't predict the plot which is a rarity for me as an autistic person with a special interest in storytelling. Also, I just had to stop the 8th episode of season 2 and untangle the timeline in my head. π
I love how delightfully and yet casually gay Foundation is. I'd just like to see a more diverse queerness. So far it's pretty much just represented gay cis men.
Me, after I open my email.
As someoneβs who has read the main trilogy of books, this most recent episode of #foundation has absolutely floored me. What an incredible season this has been so far.

Foundation Season 2
*actually I don't know if there is any mindpower stuff in this season, but I know for sure there was some mindcontrol thingy in the books.

#FoundationTV second season is much better than the first, it seems.
Beki... No!
This was the episode the show became its own thing and finally became good. It's so great to see a tv series with potential start to deliver on that. Reminds me of TNG taking two seasons to figure it out.
Tellum is awesome and I kind of think her + kid = the mule
I have to let go of the books and just let the show be its own thing.
There's a lot to like about it but my curmudgeoness is holding me back. I want to shuck off my preconceptions and just enjoy a big budget modern scifi.
