    Dune meets Expanse meets Star Wars

    Starting to like it.

    Obviously as in season 1 indicated second one completely lost anything to do with books and screenwriters got simple instructions - speed it up, more for US audience and if something sounds too complicated explain it further... maybe by magic. Put Duna scenery and feel, starwars intriguing short stories, Expanse CGI (but forget physics, we don't care magic and starwars mechanics are enough) oh and game of thrones nudity so teenagers will appreciate some nice action otherwise forbidden to them.

    Put your thought's on timeline and fill as many things to next 10 episodes as possible. If it doesn't feel logical, let's the force explain it ;)

    What happened to this season?

    I loved the first season. A great story, great characters, great acting. What happened with season 2 though? The plot has gone crazy, there's so many new and unlikeable characters. You hardly see the best actors/actresses anymore. It's just so so disappointing. I notice that others have said the same and it looks to get better through the season but I certainly want to skip these episodes.

    If you can make it through the rubbish writing and dialogue you might enjoy the future episodes as well, but trust me, it'll be a slog to get through them. Let's hope that season 3 learns from this mistake because I know this season lost some viewers.

    Actually My Favourite Episode from the first 3 i have watched

    I Do want to like this Show so much because of the Hype it got on various Sites in the Internet....but i had my problems with it

    Sometimes very complex, hard to follow, but entertaining ...

    But this Episode had an clear Structure for me i guess... Easy to follow the story of the single characters....

    I Want to Like this Show so much, i am very exited about the rest of the second season, i watch it very slow, maybe 1 Episode a day max.....

    I Want it to be the show that was promised for me.... Sci-Fi in its finest, and it has already very good moment for that argument

    Very Exited for the Rest of the Second Season now ! (:

    This is turning into Star Wars for kids

    The Poly character and role and the introduction of Hober Mallow are such a tone crasher, I almost can't believe it.

    This seems like out of a bad Star Wars comedic bit. I mean sure, take liberties, but why make Hober Mallow a gentleman thief clown?

    A clown who's secretly brilliant I guess since he's supposed to take Terminus to the next level. Do writers and producers really think we need such histrionics to make a compelling character narrative and transformation?

    Season 2 is a disaster. Foundation has such a potential to be a magnificient political and philosophical epic. All that in the drain, dumbed down and destroyed.

    Everything s01 got right s02 got wrong

    This show is becoming painful to watch. I've been anticipating the second season with excitement. I haven't read the books and I don't really care about the source material. I do care about a show as a standalone piece of art. The first season had depth. It developed original ideas. Characters were driven by deeper philosophical motivations and most of the time that was conveyed trough meaningful dialogue, solid acting and overall good pace. It was visually stunning and had the potential to become a sci-fi classic.

    The second season looks and feels like the showrunners threw the white towel. Judging by its quality this show apparently got cancelled and the second season was filmed and aired only because of contractual reasons. Such a wasted opportunity.

    • Trivia
      When Gaal is walking through the dessert with Hari Seldon, Hari's steps don't leave footprints as it's supposed to be a hologram. That's a subtle detail that shows great attention to detail
    • Goofs
      When Gaal and Hari are standing in front of the wall that is a door, they are both facing it and Gaal is holding the staff. Gaal puts down the staff to try to open the door. After she triggers the door, they are both briefly shown facing it and Gaal is again holding the staff. The door is then shown opening and then it cuts back to them, and Gaal isn't holding the staff.
