@sabbatical I love the visuals in the show. It's perfect in that way.
@levisan started listening to foundation on audiobook now and am realizing they really did take a ton of liberties! but for the most part i think they made good choices. seems like they’re making the show a bit more raunchy as it goes on though, which is too bad.
@levisan much of the time, it's just careless and disrespectful to the original. wheel of time series for example i just couldn't take. but the changes i'm noticing with this one seem well thought through mostly — the cloned emperors, robot lady, and cryo sleeps for salvor and gaal for example. clever mechanisms to allow characters/actors to continue through different parts of the story without it seeming forced.
@sabbatical I suppose you could say that the closer an adaptation is to the original (or more compatible a spinoff thing is with the original), the more authentic it is
@levisan before watching, i was wondering how they'd make the series have any cohesiveness or character development since it spans centuries pretty quickly, but they did a decent job with that!
