The Queen's Gambit declined - or at least the wannabe Queens. Sareth learned a lesson about when not to make your move and her lack of experience in the face of Demerzel is exposed. But she still has pieces on the board;

The Knights Gambit rebuffed: Hober tries to tempt the Spacers with freedom and is rebuffed and dobbed into Bel. But I can't help feeling that dangling the non-Spacer jump ships in front of Bel was actually the point;

Meanwhile, the rooks and the prawns ('cos who can resist a good fish gag?) on Ignus is a rather slower game that I suspect has more to do with the next season than this. But I don't think all that we see is as it really is;

The Bishop's Gambit countered? Empire thinks he has out-thought Seldon - but if Hari is right that the maths doesn't lie (absent the odd sterile halfling), then Empire drawn out to face the Foundation is what he expects.

But does it end in fire, or ice cold execution?

Plus, Three laws explicitly called out. Now there's a carrot.

Can't wait for what comes next.

Attention Spoilers!

Let's start with the fact that this series is my favorite,

I can't speak for sure, but this series sharply turns the scales, shows the wrong side.

What the producers did in the new series changes the whole logic of the universe, everything turns out sharply, and although the motives were clear, open war was declared the basis, the emperor's indulgence towards prisoners, the queen went crazy.

I remember the first season, these sharp, grandiose reversals of events, this is what makes him worth loving, this universe, this emperor.

And this shot, when the emperor breaks the walls, looks down and says, as if, there will be peace, at any cost.

Captivates, captivates. I don't believe in actors, it's hard to believe that these people are acting and not living.

In general, here I am not only expressing an extremely positive review, I also plan to engage in further mathematical counter-propaganda to Seldon, to show his mani world that his fantasies and dictates should not be.

And so, if we consider the events of the universe in the context of correlations, and therefore interrelated events, we are forced to admit that any architecture of events is built around specific, powerful and all holders of the universe. It was the personality, having discovered the laws of electricity, that laid the foundations of civilization. It was the individual who ordered the laws of chemistry that opened the door to medicines and saved lives. Architecture becomes exponentially more complex with each link, new combinations of variations of the future appear every second, every moment of the world where there are billions is doomed to be different from the previous one.

Then on what does Seldon base his arguments? Where does he draw his conclusions from?

The logic is simple enough, studying the masses of animals, as well as considering them as an existing mass of living beings subject to the instinct of self-preservation, he observed that their fear overcomes them beyond some logical choices.

So he knew that there is a place that animals will run around, because this is a place of potential collision, which means that each animal will seek to save its life, avoid this collision, create a "place" that does not belong to anyone in the stream. A place where a person can stand boldly and know that he will not be harmed.

The catch is that a person is significantly different from an animal, by dozens of orders. This does not mean that there is nothing animal in us, there are a lot of predators and animals in us, I mean that a person is able to neglect his own life for the sake of the majority, even when the benefit of the majority is unlikely. Animals are herd animals, they try to survive at the expense of the herd, everything is different with a person, it is society that survives at the expense of one person, one small change or contribution, the picture has turned upside down, already a neighboring reality.

Therefore, when Seldon believes that he can predict stupid animals, this is his right, however, my personal remark is that no one in the Emperor's entourage has figured out what he builds it on and where he takes these conclusions about the world from, they didn't even bother to check his personal affairs and research, to analyze the "preconditions" for the discovery.

However, this may be a simple inattention. But I am writing this to the fact that, unlike an animal, a person jumps into the fire to save a cat or a dog, unlike an animal, a sapper goes and defuses a bomb, unlike animals, a person does not sleep at night to save people in intensive care.

However, to compare a person with an animal, and repeat to everyone that he knows the future and the past. It's just brutish. Decide to destroy the world just to prove to the world that there are animals around and obey the schemes, ignoring thousands of evidence to the contrary in every corner of the galaxy and even in your own mirror.

A radical extremist, with a pseudo education, offended and not recognized by anyone, a kind of pseudo-mission, who is doomed to suffer in an endless stratification of personality, for having announced to the world that he encroached on all the power of time, deciding that he could have power over him, if about trying calculate it.

In general, I don't know if Isaac Asimov writes like that, I respect him very much, but I put off reading his books for the 25th anniversary, however, if the main characters are really described in the book as they live on the screen, how deeply the person thought on the boundless stars, and how he ridiculed the fools who think that they can know the abyss and the boundless cosmos.

Thanks for watching, looking forward to the next episodes.

Appreciate the world.

As a response to empathy Salvor Hardins feels towards the little sea animals getting boiled alive. (so called "mollusc") They have the other character spew out "Plants feel pain too"

Really? What kind of cavemen nonsense writing is this. Making it seem like torturing and eating animals is on the same level as eating plants.

Plants have no central nervous system, nor are they self aware. They have responses to stimuli that threaten to damage them, however pain is an animal phenomenon, that requires a nervous system.

And this being a sci-fi doesn't make it so such made up BS is ok. It's still terrible writing. I understand she's the villain, but it doesn't seem like they made her say that with making her unlikable as the goal.
