Foundation is pretty good, it’s an adaptation of unfilmable series and I understand choices that had to be made. Back in the day I was willing to die on Tom Bombadil shaped cross but since then have learned to enjoy different takes on established stories.
Totally agree. I was put off by it at first, but I forced myself to pretend it was new IP with similar character names, and now I love it. It’s a very well-made show with excellent acting, gorgeous set design and beautiful cinematography.
I implore folks to just watch it like it’s not based on any books.
The problem for me is that I’ve read the entire series a few times and kept getting blue balled by the fake cliff hangers. I really wish we could have had Prelude and Forward before jumping straight into it.
Yeah, it was the first Sci-Fi series I read as a kid, completely opened me up to the genre. I love the source material. There are so many decisions they could have made differently, and knowing the overall arc of the series can definitely make it frustrating at times, but for me it’s also just one of those lush, well-made Sci-Fi shows that I can still lose myself in. I’m a sucker for spaceships, what can I say.

If they wanted to do an original story, then why license the property and attach the name?
See “I, Robot” with Will Smith.
