Whatcha watching?

We started season 3 of "The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon" last night. This show is arguably the best WD spinoff show, but episode 1 dragged a bit. I'm hoping it picks up as the season goes on. The first two seasons were really good.

Foundation s3 is very good

I've read everything from Azimov multiple times , big fan
I really liked how they combined elements from different books/series , well done !

A must see
I may be biased though :)
The Foundation is excellent, love the twists and turns, the Robot’s fate is to be determined.
The Invasion, teeters between action and melodrama, enjoyable, go Trevante
The Chief of War, another retelling of native stories, colonizers don’t come off as good people

Also in the Mix
The Silo, just love the concept, the culture and the tech.
The Studio, reminded me of Gervais’ The Extra where protagonist shoots himself every episode

Anyone seen Weapons? Interested

There are a couple of episode-review podcasts for Fondation but the one I listen to is X-Ray Vision, which also covers shows like Alien: Earth. It's hosted by Jason Concepcion, who previously co-hosted Apple's official Foundation podcast (now defunct) with showrunner David Goyer for the show's first two seasons.

The latest episode, for S03E09 features an interview with Pilou Asbæk, who plays the Mule.
 
Foundation S3 Finale : wow

I was pissed that Lady Demerol died ( didn't make sense with the novel) but the final punch made up for it
Makes the link to the novel "Earth and Foundation" wich is the link between the Foundation series and The Robot Series



Spoiler alert :
So ,in S4 , we'll probably have flash back to the robot era and Kalle is Daneel

That's why they got the head of the other robot me thinks.
Just before Demerzel died , the eyes were white , meaning transferring data to the other head or to Kalle like we see on the map.

... or to a DATA center in Virginia :)

Yeah. Demerzel was my favorite character. At least she went out in an incredible fashion. What really didn’t sit well with me was Beyta being the Mule, and how easy it was to destroy the clones.

There was some talk about Weapons a few pages back. I enjoyed it overall.
 
That whole Gaal storyline was very disjointed and really made little sense. It's like they cut some critical scenes.
I agree. It’s like there was a more nuanced story to tell and not enough time to do it. Too much time was spent on the mules back story only to make the whole exercise pointless. Magnifico (as in the books) would have made more sense than Beyta even if it was obvious. Or hell, the mule was really the mule the whole time and everything else was a diversion would have been satisfying. It’s like they made it her for the sole purpose of a “ I didn’t see that coming” moment. Just a let down in what would have been a better storyline.

Over the weekend, we watched "The Life of Chuck", based on the Stephen King story. It's really well done and follows the story, which is perfect since that enhances the twist.

We also started "Only Murders in the Building" season 5. Love that show.
