After a season more and more ridiculous each episode, this one breaks new heights. I'll be expecting the finale to be even worse.
The Empire parts are entertaining. The music and visuals are great. The plot is.. merely decent. It has absolutely nothing to do with Foundation or Asimov, and Goyer should be ashamed to pretend so.
The "Foundation" part is terrible, especially the multiple Haris, Salvor and family, the new mentalics, etc, etc. I doubt they could have done everything in that half more dumb, more boring, more pathethic.
It's clear that Goyer had a different series in mind and then they gave him Foundation. And he just went on, took some names and perpetrated a completely different series. He didn't want anything to do with Foundation, and this episode shows it.
I just with they had let him do Empire. Because that's what it is.
So 7/10 for the Empire part, -20/10 for the Foundation part. What a mess.
