Foundation S2E9 Review: Naked Fights and Failed Assassinations?

Alright, listen up, y’all. Let’s talk about this “Foundation” thingy, episode nine, ya know? I ain’t no fancy TV critic, but I watched it, and I got things to say. So, bear with me, okay?

First off, this whole shebang is about them emperors, right? These Cleon fellas. They got clones, one after another. Sounds kinda weird to me, like, don’t they ever get tired of lookin’ at the same face? Anyway, in this episode… well, things are gettin’ messy.

Brother Day, that’s the emperor now, he’s one tough cookie. He’s had a rough time, what with people tryin’ to kill him and all. And that naked fight? Lord have mercy! Didn’t see that comin’. But it made him even more determined, you see? He wants to marry this queen, Queen Sareth, to, you know, make babies the old-fashioned way and stop this whole clonin’ thing. Says it’ll bring peace and all, but I ain’t so sure about that.

Then there’s this Foundation group, them smarty pants followers of Hari Seldon. They’re out there, doin’ their thing, buildin’ somethin’ new, somethin’ better, they say. They’re all about science and plannin’, but sometimes, I think they’re just makin’ things up as they go. This episode, they’re kinda in the background, but you know they’re gonna stir up trouble later.

  • One thing that got me was how slow everything moved sometimes. Like, come on, get on with it! But then, boom, somethin’ happens and you’re right back in it.
  • And the talkin’… sometimes they use them big words, makes my head spin. But mostly, I can keep up. It’s about power, ain’t it? Who gets to rule, who gets to tell everyone else what to do.
  • And this Queen Sareth, she’s a firecracker. Don’t trust her one bit. She’s got her own plans, you can see it in her eyes.

This episode, it felt like things were comin’ to a head. Brother Day’s gettin’ desperate, this queen is playin’ games, and the Foundation folks are lurkin’ in the shadows. It’s all set for some big showdown. You can just feel it in your bones.

I gotta say, though, this whole show, it ain’t like nothin’ I ever seen before. It’s got spaceships and fancy gadgets, but it’s also about people, about their dreams and their fears. And about how hard it is to change things, even when you know you gotta.

They say this season is better than the first one. I wouldn’t know, I didn’t watch the first one. Too busy tendin’ to my chickens, ya know? But this one, it’s got me hooked. I wanna know what happens next. Will Brother Day get his wish? Will the Foundation take over? And what about that sneaky queen? So many questions!

Overall, I reckon this episode was pretty good. It set the stage for somethin’ big. And even though it’s kinda slow sometimes and a bit confusing, it keeps you thinkin’. And that’s more than I can say for most of them shows on TV these days. All them reality shows and what not, they’re just a bunch of hooey.

So, if you like them sci-fi stories with a bit of drama and a whole lotta twists and turns, you should give this “Foundation” thing a watch. Just be prepared to use your brain a little, ya hear? And don’t expect no easy answers. Life ain’t that simple, and neither is this show.

Anyways, that’s all I got to say about that. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I gotta go feed them chickens. They’re gettin’ mighty restless.
