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.

Time to Jump Ship

Alright, folks, I've hit my limit with "Foundation" Season 2, Episode 3. Let's dive into why I'm calling it quits on this space saga.

Season 1 was decent, right? It had its moments, but oh boy, Season 2 has taken a nosedive into the abyss of fantasy gibberish. I mean, I'm all for a good space opera, but this? It's like they're just tossing in random elements without any rhyme or reason. The dialogue? It's like they're pulling it out of a hat.

This episode just highlighted all the flaws. The plot's wandering and the characters - they're just there, like extras who forgot they could leave the set. And let's talk world-building - or the lack thereof. In sci-fi, you've got to have a world that makes sense, even if it's a crazy, out-there kind of sense. But here? It's like they're winging it with every scene.

Honestly, Apple needs to take a hard look at this show. It feels like they just gave up and everyone's going through the motions. And while they're at it, might as well reevaluate "Invasion" too. Maybe take some notes from "Silo" Season 1 - that was a breath of fresh sci-fi air.

So, I'm out. If you're still hanging on, hoping for a miracle turnaround, I admire your optimism. But for me, "Foundation" has lost its foundation. Time to find a new space adventure.
