Trivia
When Gaal is walking through the dessert with Hari Seldon, Hari's steps don't leave footprints as it's supposed to be a hologram. That's a subtle detail that shows great attention to detail

Goofs
When Gaal and Hari are standing in front of the wall that is a door, they are both facing it and Gaal is holding the staff. Gaal puts down the staff to try to open the door. After she triggers the door, they are both briefly shown facing it and Gaal is again holding the staff. The door is then shown opening and then it cuts back to them, and Gaal isn't holding the staff.

Quotes
Salvor Hardin: Never let your sense of morals prevent you from doing what's right.

Everything s01 got right s02 got wrong

This show is becoming painful to watch. I've been anticipating the second season with excitement. I haven't read the books and I don't really care about the source material. I do care about a show as a standalone piece of art. The first season had depth. It developed original ideas. Characters were driven by deeper philosophical motivations and most of the time that was conveyed trough meaningful dialogue, solid acting and overall good pace. It was visually stunning and had the potential to become a sci-fi classic.

The second season looks and feels like the showrunners threw the white towel. Judging by its quality this show apparently got cancelled and the second season was filmed and aired only because of contractual reasons. Such a wasted opportunity.
