Still some jankiness for me in the writing and dialogue. I can’t quite explain it.

But I do feel the show is finding its feet after setting things up in season 1, as Goyer claimed. I appreciated much of the setup in this episode.

That being said, the ending with the “find Mallow” stuff seems off. Psychohistory isn’t about individuals. So it makes no sense that the vault would know anything about a particular individual. Unless they’re going for something else, which I would suspect is some unnecessary deviation from the books.

I feel like the writing jank has increased this season actually (though it’s still too early to tell really)… not sure if it’s the pacing though

Maybe the Vault has some ability to interact with the world too? Not the first upgrade it’s been given compared to the book (I say singular because I’ve only read Foundation so far)
