Foundation sucks ass.
The premise was great: restart the human race after a predictable collapse by writing an encyclopedia galactica based on our collective knowledge that would help the survivors to rebuild a civilization. I was all for it and I was thinking about my own encyclopedia.....and boom the story was a boring political struggle. What a letdown.
You didn't even like the good half of the show? (The Empire) I will say the other half of the show sucked, so I half agree.
The emperor was cool, that's true. But it's like those shows that start full SciFi or fantastic and then turn into boring love stories, very cheap to write and film.
I wanted a humanity that falls into chaos and turns to a book of knowledge for guidance.
Books or TV series?
Books, I couldn't finish the TV series.
5he prequel book was honestly the best part of the series for me. Though I did enjoy the series, it just kind of lost the plot after the Mule showed up and diverted the basic plot of the series.
I was annoyed by Harry Seldon's omniscience. I can understand being able to predict a broad outline of an Imperial collapse and subsequent rebuilding, but predicting specific events in the timeline? Magical prophecies are not as accurate as Harry's psychohistory.
