I don't mind that it's different from the books, but the pacing and tone of this show is just so weird, and while it may come together in the end, I'm having a hard time understanding a lot of the decision making here.
I guess my biggest issue is the how often the show stops to tell us how the protagonists are special or gifted in some way. Foundation is a story that almost requires any adaptation to add a bunch of new material, but how do you take a story about people being clever and adapt it as a magical chosen one story? Changes are fine, but it's almost like they're going out of their way to remove the reasons people enjoy these stories.
I actually kind of dug the brother dusk sections, but I'm really struggling with almost everything on Terminus. And was it just me, or was Leah Harvey pretty bad in this episode.
I don't think the script is doing her any favors, but there were several times in this episode where her delivery was distractingly clunky. Here's hoping it was just an off day.
I'm sorry to be so negative. It's not a bad show, it just seems to be missing the point. And that's kind of a bummer.
