Oh god, Hari's past haircut is definitely enough to make the empire fall.
Also, found Jessica Hyde!
Please tell me he didn't just die... Not after that heartbreaking back story! Not after just being freshly cloned and feeling his toes cold and wet for the first time in 200 years (or something)!
Amazing episode. The writing in the backstory segment was just brilliant.
Such a good episode! Watching again
I must be watching a different show to other folk. That episode had me bored out my skull.
I wonder why I watch this series! It's do confusing at most time's.
Now, that was more like it. Gaal, Salvor and Hari are played against each other - and we learn more about Hari's past. Loved the final sequence! But... Hari can't die... can he? After all the trouble to get a new body? And after we finally learn more about what makes him tick? And Gaal's now at the mercy of the telepath who pulls wool over her eyes that she can save Salvor. And what about Salvor? I mean some sequences with her were a bit soft-edged, like when she talked with boy!Hari or when she went to confront him after he left during the fight...
Terminus' envoys land on Trentor - just as Day and Sareth declare their union, and Sareth makes a powerful speech to the people. I guess, Day doesn't know what he started. And what about Demerzel?
Overall, the first good episode in quite a while.
Bruh, there ain’t now way

It was quite an engrossing episode, lots of things happening, but most of the time was devoted to Hari Seldon's backstory about his relationship with Yanna, we learn how they met, fell in love and constructed the Prime Radiant together (so the thingy is not just an important piece of his research to Hari but also a memorial of Yanna) and how he killed the Empire agent who murdered Yanna in order to get hold of the Radiant. His backstory emphasises also that Empire is quite a totalitarian state (compassing galaxies in this case) and we have to bear it in mind. The telepathy woman turns out to be a very manipulative person, driving a wedge between Gaal and Hari, Gaal believes her as she is promised she'll be able to save her daughter. The manipulative telepath woman can understand Gaal's and Salvor's feelings about their strange relationship better than they do themselves. It looks like she was really an enemy as I suspected in the previous episode. Things are going badly for other characters too, as Hober enters some kind of birthing place of the spacers and they are very angry about it, whereas Poly and Constant are arrested almost immediately after their arrival on Trantor. They will probably be executed, which is a pity as they are really interesting and likeable characters, I quite enjoy Constant's banter. Day and Sareth announce their engagement publicly, and Demerzel looks like she can hardly contain herself when he mentions ending the genetic dynasty, she is really seething with rage. Sareth gives a talk on wanting to serve the citizens, which is likely to be completely at odds with Day's plans, as he does not feel like serving anyone but himself. On the whole, the episode was very intense and emotional, I couldn't stop watching.
