Going from strength to strength.

I kind of lost interest in the books when they brought in the

second foundation. All the political intrigue and magic of a "seldon plan" makes way for superpowered body snatching shenanigans. If you need psychics to literally reprogram you, the Seldon Plan is a failure I'd say.

Know what would be the greatest crossover ever? Dune and Foundation.

Just to see the Seldon Plan clash with the Bene Gesserit.

Personally my money's on the Second Foundation being more OP. They can

directly reprogram minds, after all.

Was a mixed bag for me, some episodes held my interest, others I watched while messing around with my phone, it did improve about half way through.

I overall liked it enough to give season 2 a chance.

I thought Foundation was superb and yeah, Ted Lasso is brilliant.

Foundation was a mixed bag of ups and downs for me. Still good enough to give season 2 a try.

Agreed on Lasso, extremely good show.

Defending Jacob (2020) was a decent mini series on Apple+, if you're into murder mystery.

Mosquito Coast did slope downward a bit for me as it went on, but I'm still giving the 2nd season a shot. Even though I kinda know what happens, or should happen.

It's a great adaptation, they have done things to the timeline for TV, but I loved it. If you like Dune (and you do) you should love Foundation.

Oh shit, starts up this week.

Going to have to watch one of those 5-10min Youtube recaps for season 1.

I thought the space hajj episode was superb in season 1.

It had some great episodes and some not to great ones. Overall enjoyable though.

And you're right about Patient Leech needing to watch this, just the right mix of heavy SciFi, deep politics space opera with tall muscular gay men PL loves.

😂 I agree with you it got better as it went on. I read the books, long ago in my teens, and dipped in them again while it was on... thanks to CDTM believe it or not. They are still an O.K. read.

Started watching this cos I got 6 months free AppleTV (No I won't be watching Ted Cúnting Lasso, so don't start with that sĥit)

I like it. It's the 1st show in a while where I watched a full episode without feeling the need to tune out and look at my phone or waft my farts up to my nose and laugh at how bad they smell or wag my cock about inside my shorts. So that's a good sign.

Certainly better than the utter trash that Silo seems to be.

Jaden 3.0 would be watching Ted Lasso, just saying.
