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.

And the first season was TERRIBLE!

I get it. You've got Jared Harris, and you want him to act, but this.. this is terrible. This is David S. Goyer, again, doing the exact opposite of what Foundation is.

Why spend the money just to step all over Asimov's grave? And the acting is on par now. Even Lee Pace looks like he's getting discouraged. No wonder, reading the scripts must have been a shock.

After the first season, I couldn't believe they could do much worse, but if this is the beginning I fear where we'll be in the end.

Congratulations, Mr. Goyer. You've outdone yourself. In the worst possible way.

"Based on Isaac Asimov's Foundation"? Please, change that and write "we took some names".

It's a pity that they couldn't make the landing, but nothing could be as good as the wedding episode.

Ken needed to jump from the top or blow his brains. Shiv needed to suffer the rest of her life for it.

At least the rest worked: they "redeemed" Rome, the old guys got their money, Hugo will keep Hugoing, Tom gets the big prize (which he deserves as the huge POS that he is), and Greg doesn't grow in the end and, once again, backs up the wrong side and doesn't even know how to defend himself.

Still, not bad for a series in which I despised every single character to make me watch till the end. Well done.

Like last episode, this one wasn't going so bad (so bad: 2/10). But no, yet again, the ending was a bunch of inconsistencies, terrible writing and holes that the Invictus could easily go through. A hundred times.

I've finally figured something. The Huntress projects a field of stupidity, that's why every character around her does such incredibly silly things. How many times have other characters done absolutely illogical things that otherwise would have ended the series? The latest one, the way she got control of the ship to get down to the surface. Take those away and Foundation lasts two episodes.

I'm really curious about how they think (hah!) in the writer's room. They had amazing material here to work with, and all they've managed to get here is coincidence, religion and atrocius acting (with a couple of exceptions). Throw some millions at it to get it pretty and that's Foundation. Absolute garbage.

Oh, and to those who ask after every episode why are we still here, we've said many times: we want to see how low this goes. I'm amazed that each week to manage to go further down, since I really don't think it's possible until they show us.

If I ran Apple, the person that greenlit this, and the person who decided to give it a second season would be SO fired. I doubt that they'll make 8 seasons, but hey, I also doubted that they could be so inept, and yet here we are.

So, see you next week then for the final fireworks. If they do another episode worst than this, we should all petition IMDB to be able to give it zero stars.
