Season finale was:fire::fire:. The build up and ending to the storylines were surprisingly great.
So we shippin foundation v1 Harry and demerzel now?
Jokes aside, what a finale!
A great and gripping final season episode. The best by far. :thumbsup_tone1:
Honestly I didn't like it. I don't think I will continue watching. Season 1 was really good but I really don't like where Season 2 is going. It's all over the place.
Wow! This season has been great but this episode was the biggest payoff we've gotten yet, so many things changing to make way for what now actually resembles an end of the line for Empire - however long it may still take to get there.
The added twist that it would seem that The Mule is a self-realizing prophecy just as much as Hober Mallow's summoning makes the whole thing more interesting. I also look forward to seeing the repercussions of Sareth and that Cleon getting away, a few generations down the line.
Watching that smug POS Day spacing himself was the cherry on top. :rofl:
where did they dig up this story line.?
Birn deserves every acting award that might be coming her way after this one -- just an incredible performance on her part. But really, pretty much all of the primary actors in this one were impressive and brought their A-games to the party.
The story, too, moved forward at a decent pace and offered several characters some truly decent exits.
Overall, I have no complaints about this one.
On one hand I like how this shows makes massive jumps in the overall timeline, on the other hand I hate how characters you've grown to love or hate just vanish in an instant because of these jumps in time.
Epic finale to the show, most of the plot points are solved, and there are some sad endings as from among the Foundation characters, Hober and Salvor are dead, they both sacrificed their lives for the people they loved, so there is some parallel between them as Hober gives the only escape pod to Constant before the ship explodes, and Salvor saves Gaal's life when she is attacked by a boy possessed by Tellem.
At the beginning, it is explained how Gaal saved Hari using some telepathical link between them and then transforming the guard's body into Hari's so that Tellem would think he was dead. The telepaths claim that Hari and the girls freed them since they were forced to do Tellem's will and not their own. They are in friendship but on the other hand if Hari and the girls had flown away in the Beggar, Salvor would still be alive. I do not really get the idea behind both Hari and Gaal going into cryo sleep, since they would not teach the mentalics anything now they are asleep and they were supposed to prepare for the Mule.
The best positive thing is that as Constant floats through the universe, she comes upon the Vault floting in space as well, and it turns out that the thing is bigger on the inside like Doctor Who's blue box and Hari managed to save all the people from Terminus and transfered them into the Vault so that they are all alive now.
It was really fun when it turned out that Bel used Hober's device to switch bodies with Day and the Empire was thrown out of the spaceship to the destroyed planet. Though it is a pity they both died on the spaceship and I feel sorry for Constant for losing her boyfriend. Bel's partner was saved by the Vault so he is alive as well as people from Terminus.
Demerzel tells Dusk and Rue who are imprisoned in her previous quarters her story and declares her love for Cleon, though she has to kill them both to restore the status quo as she is slaved to serve the Empire. She also tries to eliminate Sareth by arresting her for high treason, but Dawn manages to escape with her. It is not clear whether Dawn and his pregnant lover finally escape or are remotely killed by Demerzel, but in the end she decants the new trio of Cleons, so that everything is back to square one.
The show was visually stunning and the characters rather interesting and complex. I know from some reviews lots of things were changed from the books but Asimov must have had a great imagination. I would definitely wait for next season. Lee Pace is absolutely great as Day, he was born for this role.
Crazy that Harry and Gaal, s just continue to keep jumping ahead in time and every character we grew to enjoy alongside them just disappears into the history books except Demerzel and the clones, but there is some hope with Alternate Harry saving the people of Foundation.. maybe they will come along for the ride. Great show
It was a banger of an end to a good season. I really loved Hari’s backstory that we got to see. It was quite poignant and masterfully done. The guest Indian actress was unbelievably awesome in that episode. And we got to see the continuation of what actually happened to Hari after that in a very moving way. My only gripe with the series is that it has turned into a fantasy show rather than sticking only with the science fiction element. Don’t get me wrong. I like a good fantasy show but the fantasy element feels out of place in the Foundation universe that they have created. And I thought the books were also science fiction so I don’t know why they decided to go this route. I hope they don’t drag this supernatural stuff for too long and focus more on psychohistory which sounds quite intriguing and they set it up perfectly.
Too many fake deaths. Now when they actually happen, you just don’t care.
It felt too rushed, and like others said, things happened just for the sake of it happening.
Still a fun show, but season 1 was much better.
See what I mean? That unpredictable holographic little fucker...
Anyway, the whole "there's a gun casually lying around for anyone to grab" thing kinda prevented this season finale from reaching it's full potential, for me.
So, we'll have a fully rebooted Empire next season, surely more carefully brainwashed by Demerzel. As long as we'll also have my boy Hari to psycho-history the crap out of everyone, I'm sure things will be fine.
Well, if you make everything a possibilty in the show just for the sake of surprising audience, then you take away the excitement and curiosity of your audience. Worst of it is how they painted a world with science but turned that into a fantasy world.
It was a good finale.
Terminus is dead, but the foundation (including Riose's boyfriend) is saved.
Gaal and Hari managed to fool the telepath - but Salvor sacrifices herself for Gaal. And Hari and Gaal both end up back in cryo sleep. However, even if the people on Ignis now worship them, who knows if they will 150 years from now when they're supposed to wake up. One thing becomes apparent is that the outliers (i.e. Salvor) are needed to keep history on track so to speak.
Riose is working with Hobar, and manages to kill Day (after Demerzel is called back to Trantor)... only for the Spacers to destroy the whole fleet, with Hobar and Riose on it.
On Trantor, Demerzel kills Dusk and Rue, and tries to frame Serath for the assassination attempt (which has always been her plan, so that Day's plans won't get through) and get rid of her and Dawn - but they escape (for now). And she unplugs a new triad of clones. But, how exactly does her programming work? I mean, she can't harm Empire, so why can she kill Dusk?
So, next season we'll presumably still have Demerzel... but will she have managed to silence Dawn and Serath and reestablish Empire? And what about the mule?
Overall, good season finale.
So Garfield cloned odie and took him to a far away place to develop Sintex-19. During the flight to mars, they discovered that the new atmosphere could be marketed by Kellogs and turned into a new breakfast ceral called blurred vision. in the end, everyone sat down to milk and cookies
Episodes 8 and 9 were great. Really good stuff! Unfortunately, episode 10 was all over the place like the rest of the season. :confused:
Solid finale but felt like it lacked the energy that the past several episodes brought. Hope it gets renewed for season 3.
