I still don’t understand how Demerzel just glides through the eons without any gossip sticking among the populace. The ladies seemed way too surprised to discover she was a robot.

I mean they are ruled by 3 identical clones so it's not unreasonable to assume she would be one too. Earlier in the season someone presumed she had a separate cloning facility of her own. Wasn't she also referred to as the last intelligent robot or something last season, too?

I forgot about that cloning theory from earlier. And the “last intelligent robot” thing was a one-on-one exchange IIRC, not information divulged to the general population.

I liked this episode. I’m kinda optimistic that this is the show turning a corner for me. It finally feels like it’s got that momentum Goyer was saying it would have after S1.

I like that they’ve found a novel story arc in the establishing of the second foundation and that’s how Gaal and Salvor fit in. And I’ve come to like the way mutants have always kinda been there and played a role from the beginning too, with Gaal kinda being the first “Mutant”.

I also appreciate the work they’ve done to establish what psychohistory is actually about.
