Finally just caught up on the second season of Foundation and wow that show really hit its stride. I already liked season one, but there's some serious payoff in season two.
I feel like I don't hear nearly enough about this show for how good it is (which makes me very nervous about it getting cancelled before they finish their story). Really looking forward to catching up on season three.
Together with #Foundation (another hot take) I think that #AlienEarth is the best sci-fi series of the last years and the best new sci-fi series of 2025. Don't believe the haters.
I have even a hotter take. Alien Earth is on the same level as the first two Alien films.

Empire had the advantage of scale and infrastructure
Foundation had the advantage of knowledge and adaptability
Big Tech has the users
We have the protocol
Maybe it's time for our own Foundation moment? 🚀

These are just two of the languages I participate in. If you go at it for an hour there's a lot that you can contribute

The Foundation series dates back to a time when it was still scientifically credible to believe that with enough mathematical information about the current state of the universe, you can accurately predict the future. Even thousand of years from now.
It's kind of cute.

I just do not understand why you would choose to make a TV series supposedly based on (and named the same as) a beloved set of books and then completely rewrite the plot, characters, and storyline into something almost unrecognizably different.
#Foundation
This last ep of Foundation was really bad. There's no more awe, just plot armor. Even the VFX are getting cheap.
They tried to turn Dune: Prophecy into GoT, but it didn't work.
Now it's Foundation turn. We don't need hot characters plucked from Bridgerton.
Ah #Foundation S3E03 released. If you are a real #ScienceFiction addict and you didn't yet see this. 💡SUPER TIP!
I hope it improves but wow the first episode of the latest season of #Foundation is so bad. Feels like it was made by committee and someone suggested they should throw in a speeder/pod racing scene. The most expensive looking mediocre television I've seen.
Some very rough sketches this week. Somehow less and less time for these.
