Well, I have the power to create dream shows with my mind: Jonathan Nolan is adapting Isaac Asimov's Foundation series for HBO
www.thewrap.com/interstellars-jonah-nolan-developing-foundation-series-for-hbo-wbtv-exclusive/
"Well, I fucking love the "Foundation" novels by Isaac Asimov — they're certainly not well-known, but that's a set of books I think everyone would benefit from reading. That's a set of books where the influence they have is just fucking massive; they have many imitators and many have been inspired by them, but go back and read those, and there are some ideas in those that'll set your fucking hair on fire." |

Not sure "legacy" is the word I'd use to defend the idea behind storing humanity's knowledge, but it's a bit early to nitpick.

Jibbs, A generally crazy blowhard in the AVClub comments section referred to this work as "fascist apologia" I'm assuming he's just being his usual crazy self, but wanted your thoughts.

I haven't read the books in a long time, but the empire topples for thousands of years.

First ep was... Okay. Raesh's American accent is atrocious. Really hoping he dies ASAP, but I'm guessing we are stuck with him for a while.

I need to schedule a trial. Zero interest in paying for Apple TV. |

I thought the empire storyline was the best storyline but that a lot of the other ones were just plain bad and lazy writing.
I gave up sometime around episode 8 and I don't think I would recommend it to anyone.
Makes me long for the Roland Emmerich version.
