I’m 8 episodes into Foundation now. Yup. It’s absolutely a yup. Wish I hadn’t kept putting it off now.
Also wish I’d read the books too.
@davep The books are classic. The series is good but completely deviates from the books in so many ways. It's still good but...it's not *really* "Foundation" in a sense. Sort of in a peripheral way for the most part.
@natharari I may have to do the books because I’m liking the themes and ideas in the show.
@davep Well, the books are great but very, very, 1950s. I mean, to a T. You have guys in "futuristic offices" still smoking cigarettes, talking with 1950s lingo...you can sort of just imagine them patting the secretary on the butt and asking for another scotch. It's very dated. But the concepts are still amazing.
@natharari @davep The old (BBC?) radio plays are worth a listen, too for another take on the books. They should be available somewhere out there (*waves hands vaguely towards the interwebs*).
@nullifidian @davep Yeah I never actually heard them (and I've got a collection of old BBC Radio shows). I'll definitely check it out. Thanks for reminding me.
I believe at archive.org or something they have the entire old BBC collection including LOTR, HHGTTG and a few other classic ones.
