Isaac Asimov's Foundation

[LeMarchand]

 

The wibble about Apple being a great fit because they want to make the future a better place made me chuckle. Like most companies, they want to make lots of money - any societal improvements are merely side effects.

"Issac Asmiov's" - Ooh

"Foundation" - Ooh

"Starring Jared Harris" - Ooh

"Lee Pace" - Ooh

"Created by David S. Goyer" - Ah.

 

Never mind.

The books are on my reading list, along with The Culture and about 30 more Discworld novels. I may get there.

Always loved the Foundation books, but as I already subscribe to Netflix, Amazon Prime, Now TV (to get Sky Atlantic, as I'm on Virgin), and get Disney + from another family member's subscription, I don't really want to subscribe to yet another streaming service

The first books in the series are good; however, like Dune, after that it does get labored.

Having read through the first few books I'm now getting stuck into book 4. I'm really enjoying them, in spite of the valid criticism about them being populated almost entirely by male characters (particularly earlier on). Considering they were written about 70 years ago, that's probably the only way in which they're showing their age.

 

I don't have Apple TV+ and probably won't get it, but that trailer looks very tempting.

I really (really) enjoyed the first season and can't wait to watch the second. I know some Azimov purists found umbrage with it, and possiby righty so, but I thought it was very well done and had a great cast. Jared Harris is, as usual, superb and Lee Pace as Day is amazing. He also gets to deliver the most cruel and sinister monologue ever in the final episode. It should have won him awards!

All Empires Fall. Foundation returns 14 July on Apple TV+ https://apple.co/_Foundation

 

Based on the award-winning novels by Isaac Asimov, Foundation chronicles a band of exiles on their monumental journey to save humanity and rebuild civilization amid the fall of the Galactic Empire.

I am very much looking forwards to this. Lee Pace's monologue to Astra in the final episode of the last season was amazing!

Excited to have it back, hope the writing stays consistently good throughout the season.
