I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.
Was that the X-Ray vision episode about Dune?epilogue wrote:I was already excited for this but then I listened to a podcast about how Dune was a reaction to Foundation and it made me even more excited to watch this!
I've never read Foundation but I feel like I should.

Are you caught up on Invasion? I thought it has been getting better each episode.Rob wrote:I’m 2 episodes in, and really enjoying this one. I was more excited for Invasion, but that’s been… meh so far. This one has really exceeded my expectations so far.
I’m caught up and yes, the last 2 eps of Invasion were a bit better, but slow. I don’t know, feels like they’re just dragging a usual story out.E.H. Ruddock wrote:Are you caught up on Invasion?

That was a really good episode, and it got me interested in Foundation, but I really just can't add another show or book right now.

It definitely is. I wish Invasion would just focus on the family and the Japanese girl.

Foundation seems deeper, and way more interesting so far.
Latest episode was best of the season. This season hasn't had much "space" stuff in it, but I liked the visuals of this episode. They were losing me with the Brother Day marriage stuff until this episode. That speech the future empress gave will make things interesting. The Hober Mallow scene was really cool as well.Ensign9 wrote:This show is pretty darn good.
