Foundation: Long Ago, Not Far Away (2023)
Asimov would be proud
Love may not conquer all, but it will never die trying.
For me, this episode was ground zero for Asimov's vision of humanity in the Foundation series. While the TV show has charted it's own path in almost every respect (compared to the books), I can only applaud the writers and showrunners for delivering so forcefully, especially in this episode, the very intent and heart of what Asimov's Foundation is all about. As a writer, Asimov always had a trick (or two or three) up his sleeves, and in this episode I find the same delicious collision of the inevitable and the unexpected.
The pacing is excellent, and the scenes and storylines are interwoven in a very satisfying way. Starting with a fairy tale about a robot, the drama unfolds, while nicely developing the show's major themes, then brings it all together in a brutally delicious climax.
And yet there is still some very unfinished business...
