The Genetic Dynasty storyline is entirely original and it’s easily the best part of the show, one of my favorite sci-fi concepts ever. Lee Pace is just so fucking good as Empire in all seasons. Demrezel is also right up there as the best character in the show.

Just can’t get enough of this.

Season 3 is streaming rn and it’s amazing so far. Absolutely phenomenal performances from Lee Pace and Laura Birn. I highly recommend watching it if you like sci-fi.

      Sheesh, calm down i-cant

      Seriously, I totally get being pissed at unfaithful adaptations, I think it’s deeply human. Still, despite this, I think that this show was working at a huge disadvantage. You don’t just easily adapt Asimov to the big screen, so they did what they could.

          I mean, it is Foundation, just not Asimov’s books. It takes stuff from the books, modifies it, sometimes leaves it out, and adds somethings new - just like adaptations do. Some adaptations are close to the source material, others are just adaptations in name only. You don’t like this one, while I do, and both is ok.

            im pretty sure the showrunner literally said in an interview how they couldn’t get their own shit approved so no it’s not just an adaptation it’s literally like not even a fan fiction at this point because it’s fan fiction that wasn’t even written about Foundation

              Well, if that’s the case, then that’s the case. Sorry it’s not to your liking, but like I said, you don’t like it, I do, and both opinions valid.

        i just looked up spoilers about the vault and jfc it’s worse than i thought this shit is just BAD and I hate that you people are supporting it. “Everybody hit their heads and just forgot building it” actually makes MORE SENSE than what literally happened

        What, did everyone on the planet hit their fucking heads and forget building a vault with a Seldon hologram and forget why they turned on an alien pain field around it and then after the first season it actually follows the books
