Foundation: Long Ago, Not Far Away (2023)
Season 2, Episode 9
6/10
Mostly good episode with severely alogical character behavior
8 September 2023
Warning: Spoilers
The general did not even bother asking to save his beloved.

Demerzel did not even bother taking a look at the psychohistory.

Foundation decided to suicide for no reason.

Seldon did not attempt for any compromise.

Salvor didn't shoot mental woman or her henchman when she could.

Mental woman played the trope of cat and mouse with her prey until her demise.

Empire did not execute his prisoners on the spot and acted entirely on unconvincing emotion.

Overall the episode had many good parts, especially those containing Empire and Demerzel's history. The story of all three mental women are like a thorn in the show's backside and reeks of privilegedness of plot armor and destiny for them and was boring to watch.

I'd rate the episode 6 stars, just as the season 2 in general. It has good parts, very boring parts but mostly it disappoints due to the potential unfulfilled. This could have been a terrific series.
