S01E09 - The First Crisis
November 12, 2021 03:01 - 1 hourMixed opinions on this one. I liked S01E09 "The First Crisis" a whole lot more than A.Ron. For me, the acting really sold me on this episode, both Terrence Mann and Cassian Bilton. And of course we can't wait until dad gets home to see what kind of consequences Dawn will have to face.

S1E07 - Mysteries and Martyrs
October 29, 2021 07:00 - 1 hourThis episode split its time between the three going plot concerns, which we appreciated. The political maneuverings on The Maiden continue to excite us. What's happening with Brother Dawn on Trantor is raising a lot of interesting questions about cloning while answering others. Things are also getting good on the Terminus side now that we know more about Invictus. Join us for discussion of Foundation S01E07 "Mysteries and Martyrs" on the podcast.

S01E06 - Death and the Maiden
October 22, 2021 02:59 - 1 hourThis episode is more action-heavy than the previous ones and the potential consequences for Terminus are frightening. But maybe only half as frightening as the consequences that a certain artificial life form might experience after bowing to her moon goddess right in front of her clone god.

S1E05 - Upon Awakening - Feedback
October 20, 2021 22:16 - 53 minutesFor some reason we're incapable of talking less. We tried to talk faster. Nothing worked. So, going forward, we're going to be splitting off the feedback from the main discussion and analysis. It remains to be seen if that can get our episodes under 2 hours. Respect and enjoy the podcast.

S01E03 - The Mathematician's Ghost
October 04, 2021 22:29 - 2 hoursWe really enjoyed the ambitious approach to storytelling that Foundation is employing in its third episode, "The Mathematician's Ghost".
