  1. This is getting better but they undersold the Foundation itself. After 100+ years they all lived like an outpost on Antarctica? Huge missed opportunity to showcase new enlightened civilization development and its contrast to stagnating empire. Maybe we will see it with the second Foundation. It would be really ironic, and frustrating, if they cancelled the show after right after they turned it around so successfully.
  2. This is a show without a single likable character that fans can latch onto and root for. Seldon is really unlikable. Gaal is a bland underdeveloped character but is apparently destined to become a galactic Messiah. Hardin is supposed to be this strong female character archetype but writers obviously have no idea what to do with her so she's just awkwardly around, being this assertive soldier and whatnot. I think the two monks and the pilot are supposed to become fan favorites but I just don't care for any of them. The only thing that I find interesting are Demerzel's machinations with the dynasty. By the way, while the visuals are stunning, the show feels really small scale. I'm not under the impression that what we are seeing is a Galaxy spanning empire with thousands of planets and trillions of people. More like a single solar system with unusually high number of terrestrial planets that are sparsely settled.
  3. I am absolutely floored by the production values of this thing. I really can't think of any other show that looks anywhere near as good as this. The visuals are really good enough for a theatrically released big budget sci fi film. I would love to know the budget per episode. Unfortunately, the writing and characters aren't that great. The Empire story line seemed like it had great potential, but now even that is starting to feel like it isn't going anywhere interesting enough justify the rest of the show.
  4. Looks like a demonstrator for a new video game engine.
  5. I have a question about the first book and the series as a whole. I'm about 20% in to the first book and this Mace Blackhail keeps getting away with evil buslshit because because most of characters are complete fools. He actually rapes a woman then gets away with it. This is very frustrating to me and I wonder if the book is worth reading. The mystery with the girl Ash in a tower is very intriguing but the stupid clansmen thing is infuriating and off putting. Is the whole book like this? Are other books in the series? When does he get out of the picture? I don't mind evil characters, but I can't stand it when they keep succeeding purely because nearly everyone around them is an idiot.

    It happens in the Incognito mode as well, but not in the Firefox. Keep in mind that I'm also the only one who experiences lag when using this board. Also only in Chrome, and not in Firefox. so, it might have something to do with me.

    When I scroll down in Chrome (desktop), text on some posts gets blurred for a few moments. It's not really a problem, just thought you might want to know. https://imgur.com/a/TyfIBNM

    It says that chrome is up to date. Anyway, it's not really a big problem. It doesn't make the site unusable.

    I just did it and it's all the same. But it's still possible that the issue is on my side, specifically chrome since there are no issues with firefox.

    https://ibb.co/zb7KG2C To me when using chrome, board seems to lag like a video game when ping is high. It takes a moment, maybe half a second, for a page to react to scrolling, clicking etc.

    Forum is very slow in desktop Chrome. Everything's fine in Firefox.
  13. Jon is, along with Arya, my favorite character in the books but in the show he really annoys the hell out of me. Sam is also painful to watch. One of the worst episodes in the series ever.
  14. Disappointment. Bad acting, bad choreography, nothing made any sense.
  15. I hate how they spoiled the books :ack: . I'm not watching this show anymore :bang:
