<v Speaker 3>Indeed, But today we are talking about Foundation Season two,

21
00:01:12.280 --> 00:01:15.719
<v Speaker 3>Episode two, A Glimpse of Darkness. This originally aired on

22
00:01:15.840 --> 00:01:19.280
<v Speaker 3>July twenty first, twenty twenty three, written by David S.

23
00:01:19.359 --> 00:01:22.239
<v Speaker 3>Goyer and Jane Espinson and directed by David S. Goyer.

24
00:01:22.400 --> 00:01:26.400
<v Speaker 3>In this episode, Harry informs Salvor and Gale that establishing

25
00:01:26.480 --> 00:01:29.040
<v Speaker 3>a second foundation is crucial for the survival of the

26
00:01:29.120 --> 00:01:31.040
<v Speaker 3>first and for his plan to work, but that was

27
00:01:31.079 --> 00:01:34.480
<v Speaker 3>interrupted when Gale fled the ship while en route to Helicon. Then,

28
00:01:34.519 --> 00:01:37.359
<v Speaker 3>with Harry's help, they managed to jumpstart the Beggar and

29
00:01:37.480 --> 00:01:40.640
<v Speaker 3>leave Sinax just in time before huge storm waves hit them.

30
00:01:40.680 --> 00:01:44.439
<v Speaker 3>Over dinner, Queen Sarah discusses with Empire the particulars of

31
00:01:44.480 --> 00:01:48.400
<v Speaker 3>their impending union while tactfully developed, delving into the assassination

32
00:01:48.480 --> 00:01:53.319
<v Speaker 3>attempt on planets. Swenna poly Veresov, high cleric of the Foundation,

33
00:01:53.599 --> 00:01:57.200
<v Speaker 3>and his junior novice cleric brother Constant, while spreading the

34
00:01:57.200 --> 00:02:01.000
<v Speaker 3>Foundation's mission, learn that Selden's vault has reopened. Nicely jump

35
00:02:01.239 --> 00:02:04.359
<v Speaker 3>back to Terminus to attend what will ensue. The warden

36
00:02:04.400 --> 00:02:08.199
<v Speaker 3>approaches Selden's fault and gets incinerated before the name hober

37
00:02:08.280 --> 00:02:10.840
<v Speaker 3>Mallow appears written on the vault, and then Gail appears

38
00:02:10.879 --> 00:02:12.919
<v Speaker 3>one hundred and fifty years into the future and is

39
00:02:12.960 --> 00:02:15.759
<v Speaker 3>attacked by a telepath called the Mule who is the

40
00:02:15.800 --> 00:02:18.800
<v Speaker 3>source of the impending darkness, just before she sees Selver

41
00:02:18.960 --> 00:02:22.560
<v Speaker 3>dead beside her. After the encounter, Gail procurs from her

42
00:02:22.599 --> 00:02:26.199
<v Speaker 3>future self the location of the second foundation on the

43
00:02:26.280 --> 00:02:27.560
<v Speaker 3>planet Ignes.

44
00:02:29.680 --> 00:02:33.039
<v Speaker 1>Five. Check. Did we like the episode overall?

45
00:02:33.520 --> 00:02:36.280
<v Speaker 3>We are trying really hard to like this show, and

46
00:02:36.439 --> 00:02:38.560
<v Speaker 3>did this episode move the needle for you.

47
00:02:40.000 --> 00:02:42.879
<v Speaker 2>A little bit? It was better than the last episode,

48
00:02:42.960 --> 00:02:47.319
<v Speaker 2>for sure, But they introduce new characters without establishing them

49
00:02:47.360 --> 00:02:51.759
<v Speaker 2>at all, and that's confusing. Yeah, I'm frustrating. And how

50
00:02:51.800 --> 00:02:54.680
<v Speaker 2>am I supposed to care about their futures? I guess

51
00:02:54.719 --> 00:02:58.199
<v Speaker 2>the little the guy is that drunk guy needs to

52
00:02:58.240 --> 00:03:02.400
<v Speaker 2>be the little brown boy the last episode, right, so

53
00:03:03.280 --> 00:03:06.159
<v Speaker 2>he's like an old man now with problems.

54
00:03:06.840 --> 00:03:10.800
<v Speaker 3>He doesn't get the respect that he wants. Yeah, yeah,

55
00:03:10.840 --> 00:03:13.159
<v Speaker 3>I agree. It's it's better than the last episode. I

56
00:03:13.199 --> 00:03:15.840
<v Speaker 3>think the last time we were spinning out because they

57
00:03:16.120 --> 00:03:18.360
<v Speaker 3>just jumped forward in time and said like this is

58
00:03:18.400 --> 00:03:20.400
<v Speaker 3>the new normal, and we're like, wait, how did we

59
00:03:20.439 --> 00:03:23.439
<v Speaker 3>get here? What's going on? And now we're there's some

60
00:03:23.599 --> 00:03:26.360
<v Speaker 3>of that with because we're bringing in new characters and

61
00:03:26.400 --> 00:03:28.560
<v Speaker 3>we're touching base with the foundation, which we didn't do

62
00:03:28.639 --> 00:03:32.039
<v Speaker 3>last time. But we are actually like moving forward with

63
00:03:32.159 --> 00:03:35.479
<v Speaker 3>the storylines without rushing ahead. Yeah, so yeah, I think

64
00:03:35.479 --> 00:03:37.919
<v Speaker 3>it was a step up, and I think it started

65
00:03:37.960 --> 00:03:40.800
<v Speaker 3>really strong for me, like that whole action sequence on

66
00:03:40.879 --> 00:03:42.080
<v Speaker 3>the ship and stuff.

67
00:03:41.960 --> 00:03:46.080
<v Speaker 2>Where she was outside. I swear Gail doesn't do shit

68
00:03:46.520 --> 00:03:54.680
<v Speaker 2>and her daughter like carries them speriously. Gail is such

69
00:03:54.719 --> 00:03:56.319
<v Speaker 2>a passive bottom.

70
00:03:57.120 --> 00:04:02.599
<v Speaker 3>No, she can hold her breath. Yeah, I think it

71
00:04:02.639 --> 00:04:05.960
<v Speaker 3>started strong. It got boring at times. There's like a

72
00:04:06.000 --> 00:04:09.039
<v Speaker 3>boardroom scene and stuff like. Yeah, but yeah, I think

73
00:04:09.120 --> 00:04:13.400
<v Speaker 3>it's definitely an improvement. So I liked it overall, but

74
00:04:13.639 --> 00:04:17.720
<v Speaker 3>still a little little down on it.

75
00:04:17.920 --> 00:04:21.519
<v Speaker 1>Trivia time, What facts or news could we uncover for

76
00:04:21.600 --> 00:04:23.600
<v Speaker 1>a glimpse of darkness? All right?

77
00:04:23.680 --> 00:04:27.120
<v Speaker 3>So, speaking of new characters, there are several minor characters

78
00:04:27.160 --> 00:04:29.720
<v Speaker 3>from the books that are introduced in this episode. In

79
00:04:29.759 --> 00:04:36.160
<v Speaker 3>the Foundation Government, there's directors Sairmac, Councilor Sutt and Brigadier Manilow.

80
00:04:36.439 --> 00:04:38.480
<v Speaker 3>I don't remember who was who in the episode because

81
00:04:38.480 --> 00:04:40.800
<v Speaker 3>they didn't spend a lot of time explaining these people,

82
00:04:40.839 --> 00:04:46.279
<v Speaker 3>but they're all book characters and the directors Smyrnacks director Sahirmac.

83
00:04:46.519 --> 00:04:50.079
<v Speaker 3>In the books, he was a political opponent of Salver Harden.

84
00:04:50.759 --> 00:04:52.959
<v Speaker 3>I don't think that storyline's happening since they're not in

85
00:04:53.040 --> 00:04:56.399
<v Speaker 3>the same place, and those characters in the books also

86
00:04:56.759 --> 00:04:59.680
<v Speaker 3>were separated by a lot of years, so they've evidenced

87
00:04:59.680 --> 00:05:01.560
<v Speaker 3>that they've kind of condensed a lot of the timelines

88
00:05:01.600 --> 00:05:04.959
<v Speaker 3>and are combining things to give us some more streamlined

89
00:05:05.040 --> 00:05:07.600
<v Speaker 3>story instead of jumping forward all the time. They also

90
00:05:07.680 --> 00:05:11.240
<v Speaker 3>mentioned the name bel Rios and hober Mallow, and those

91
00:05:11.279 --> 00:05:14.040
<v Speaker 3>are also book characters. And then the Mule is a

92
00:05:14.040 --> 00:05:16.120
<v Speaker 3>little bit of a minor spoiler from the books. I

93
00:05:16.120 --> 00:05:19.319
<v Speaker 3>don't think it's that big a deal, though, there's if

94
00:05:19.319 --> 00:05:22.600
<v Speaker 3>you care about that, skip ahead like twenty seconds. The

95
00:05:22.680 --> 00:05:25.319
<v Speaker 3>Mule is the villain of the books. I would say

96
00:05:25.399 --> 00:05:27.240
<v Speaker 3>it takes a while for him to come on the scene,

97
00:05:27.279 --> 00:05:30.680
<v Speaker 3>but then it really becomes like the foundation versus a

98
00:05:30.800 --> 00:05:34.240
<v Speaker 3>mule because he was someone with the they call it

99
00:05:34.279 --> 00:05:36.600
<v Speaker 3>telepathic abilities in this I think he had more like

100
00:05:36.680 --> 00:05:41.879
<v Speaker 3>emotional manipulation powers. Oh, and that was unforeseen by Harry

101
00:05:41.879 --> 00:05:45.519
<v Speaker 3>Seldyn and like it really throws the whole plan off course.

102
00:05:45.839 --> 00:05:47.079
<v Speaker 2>I like it.

103
00:05:47.120 --> 00:05:51.040
<v Speaker 3>So a little information on our writing and directing crew here.

104
00:05:51.600 --> 00:05:55.199
<v Speaker 3>Writer Dane Espenson is well known in science fiction. She

105
00:05:55.319 --> 00:05:58.199
<v Speaker 3>was involved in a lot of Joss Whedon product projects,

106
00:05:58.560 --> 00:06:02.040
<v Speaker 3>including Buffy, which she wrote twenty three episodes of Damn

107
00:06:02.120 --> 00:06:05.399
<v Speaker 3>Girl was executive story editor starting with season three. She

108
00:06:05.439 --> 00:06:09.160
<v Speaker 3>also worked on Angel, Firefly, Dollhouse and The Nevers Road,

109
00:06:09.240 --> 00:06:12.399
<v Speaker 3>number episodes of Battlestar Galactica and Kaprica, one episode of

110
00:06:12.439 --> 00:06:14.759
<v Speaker 3>Deep Space nine, which we've been watching. I was also

111
00:06:14.800 --> 00:06:16.959
<v Speaker 3>highly involved in the show Once Upon a Time, and

112
00:06:17.079 --> 00:06:20.319
<v Speaker 3>she also resolved in gil Mar Girls, Ellen and Jessica Jones,

113
00:06:20.480 --> 00:06:22.920
<v Speaker 3>Torchwood and her resume goes on Out and.

114
00:06:23.279 --> 00:06:27.120
<v Speaker 2>A Woman Aft for my Own Heart. Yes, I love

115
00:06:27.240 --> 00:06:31.600
<v Speaker 2>all those shows. I haven't gotten into Torchwood. It's a

116
00:06:31.639 --> 00:06:33.319
<v Speaker 2>spin off of Doctor Who. Yeah.

117
00:06:33.399 --> 00:06:36.040
<v Speaker 3>Yeah. So when I saw her name show up in

118
00:06:36.079 --> 00:06:38.160
<v Speaker 3>this season, I was kind of excited because she is

119
00:06:38.439 --> 00:06:42.439
<v Speaker 3>like a fixture of science fiction television and fantasy television

120
00:06:42.439 --> 00:06:46.279
<v Speaker 3>over the last like twenty five years or something thirty years.

121
00:06:46.680 --> 00:06:50.560
<v Speaker 3>Directed director David Skoyer also the creator. He did a

122
00:06:50.600 --> 00:06:53.879
<v Speaker 3>lot of superhero stuff, the Dark Knight trilogy, the Blade Trilogy,

123
00:06:54.480 --> 00:06:57.759
<v Speaker 3>Terminator Dark Fate, which I think is an underrated Terminator movie,

124
00:06:58.319 --> 00:07:01.480
<v Speaker 3>the Constantine TV series, and the Sandman series.

125
00:07:05.519 --> 00:07:09.079
<v Speaker 1>Deep Space Dive let's break down some of our thoughts

126
00:07:09.079 --> 00:07:12.240
<v Speaker 1>on the episode. You can share your thoughts with us

<v Speaker 2>How about that young lady that's patrol to the Empire.

130
00:07:21.839 --> 00:07:24.759
<v Speaker 3>I like her attitude. I do too.

131
00:07:25.120 --> 00:07:28.560
<v Speaker 2>I like that she seems more interested in dawn than day.

132
00:07:28.920 --> 00:07:31.959
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, and seems closer and age them too.

133
00:07:32.199 --> 00:07:35.639
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. Yeah, so maybe I don't know, maybe a love

134
00:07:35.680 --> 00:07:38.879
<v Speaker 2>triangle is developing here, and I love a love triangle.

135
00:07:39.079 --> 00:07:41.279
<v Speaker 3>And they're like, hey, we're all the same man, so

136
00:07:41.560 --> 00:07:42.319

<v Speaker 2>Yeah, ew. And then she's like, I want to see

142
00:07:58.639 --> 00:08:00.759
<v Speaker 2>And she's like I didn't, but you confirmed it.

143
00:08:01.519 --> 00:08:06.319
<v Speaker 3>Yeah. She is in total control of like their whole interaction.

144
00:08:06.600 --> 00:08:08.879
<v Speaker 2>Oh yeah, I love it. I love when the woman

145
00:08:09.079 --> 00:08:13.399
<v Speaker 2>is in charge. And it made the robot lady so uneasy.

146
00:08:13.639 --> 00:08:17.720
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, because I still feel like she is tarboring feelings for.

00:08:27.279 --> 00:08:27.920
<v Speaker 3>But yeah, so.

152
00:08:28.519 --> 00:08:33.879
<v Speaker 2>She's great and her her eyeshadow like in the middle

153
00:08:33.919 --> 00:08:39.120
<v Speaker 2>of her face so interesting, very future, very of the moment.

154
00:08:39.240 --> 00:08:41.240
<v Speaker 3>I love it. Yeah, she has all the power in

155
00:08:41.279 --> 00:08:45.159
<v Speaker 3>this arrangement because he is basically like courting her to

156
00:08:45.200 --> 00:08:47.480
<v Speaker 3>get her to agree to this arrangement, and you can

157
00:08:47.519 --> 00:08:50.639
<v Speaker 3>feel every moment, like in any normal circumstance, like she

158
00:08:50.679 --> 00:08:52.960
<v Speaker 3>would be pushing too far, but he kind of has

159
00:08:53.039 --> 00:08:54.639
<v Speaker 3>to go along with her, like, yeah, I'll show you

160
00:08:54.720 --> 00:08:56.879
<v Speaker 3>all the clones, I'll show you this, so I will

161
00:08:56.919 --> 00:08:59.720
<v Speaker 3>bend at your tell you this information. And yeah, so

162
00:08:59.759 --> 00:09:03.600
<v Speaker 3>it's is just really interesting to see the empire kind

163
00:09:03.639 --> 00:09:08.840
<v Speaker 3>of have to foul. Yeah. Yeah, Basically she's really concerned

164
00:09:08.840 --> 00:09:11.960
<v Speaker 3>about that assassination attempt though, like she doesn't let that go.

165
00:09:12.480 --> 00:09:14.799
<v Speaker 2>Well, I think she doesn't want him to forget that

166
00:09:15.000 --> 00:09:20.000
<v Speaker 2>his life is over regardless, Like I don't. I think

167
00:09:20.039 --> 00:09:23.879
<v Speaker 2>she was probably like a supporter of it, even like

168
00:09:24.000 --> 00:09:27.039
<v Speaker 2>if he would have been assassinated, then she would definitely

169
00:09:27.080 --> 00:09:30.200
<v Speaker 2>be betrothed to brother Dawn. But she's like, well, you

170
00:09:30.240 --> 00:09:34.440
<v Speaker 2>would just be replaced. How would I know? Right, you

171
00:09:34.480 --> 00:09:37.039
<v Speaker 2>wouldn't even know, And that's crazy that you wouldn't even

172
00:09:37.120 --> 00:09:39.559
<v Speaker 2>know that you were a victim of murder. You're just

173
00:09:39.639 --> 00:09:43.759
<v Speaker 2>some clone? What a life? What did you think about

174
00:09:43.799 --> 00:09:45.279
<v Speaker 2>the people in the red robes?

175
00:09:46.399 --> 00:09:51.080
<v Speaker 3>I wasn't expecting such like a missionary spreading the good news.

176
00:09:51.320 --> 00:09:54.039
<v Speaker 3>Have you heard that good? Yeah? I mean they haven't

177
00:09:54.279 --> 00:09:58.399
<v Speaker 3>given us enough time with the foundation and what's going

178
00:09:58.440 --> 00:09:59.159
<v Speaker 3>on with them now?

179
00:09:59.320 --> 00:10:03.840
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, there's no investment into their plight whatever it may be.

180
00:10:04.000 --> 00:10:04.799
<v Speaker 2>We still don't know.

181
00:10:05.120 --> 00:10:08.120
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, So yeah, I don't know what to make of

182
00:10:08.159 --> 00:10:09.159
<v Speaker 3>their old thing right now.

183
00:10:09.679 --> 00:10:13.360
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it seems like they're supposed to evoke some sort

184
00:10:13.360 --> 00:10:17.440
<v Speaker 2>of like you're supposed to feel like they're doing good

185
00:10:17.519 --> 00:10:21.600
<v Speaker 2>work or something because they're being persecuted by the locals

186
00:10:21.639 --> 00:10:25.159
<v Speaker 2>and called heretics and all this. But I don't feel

187
00:10:25.200 --> 00:10:27.919
<v Speaker 2>anything for them because I don't know that. But I

188
00:10:27.960 --> 00:10:30.679
<v Speaker 2>am really interested in that shot she gave that guy

189
00:10:30.879 --> 00:10:35.440
<v Speaker 2>that sobered him up in like ten seconds? What is that?

190
00:10:37.559 --> 00:10:41.080
<v Speaker 3>Yeah? So we do learn. So they're going around basically

191
00:10:41.120 --> 00:10:44.600
<v Speaker 3>to recruit other planets in the surrounding area that the

192
00:10:44.639 --> 00:10:47.440
<v Speaker 3>Empire is pulled away from, and they're stepping in and

193
00:10:47.480 --> 00:10:51.200
<v Speaker 3>they have superior technology to offer them, but they're going

194
00:10:51.240 --> 00:10:53.799
<v Speaker 3>about it as like this is like magic, this is

195
00:10:54.120 --> 00:10:56.000
<v Speaker 3>of faith and spirits and stuff.

196
00:10:56.159 --> 00:10:56.480
<v Speaker 1>M m.

197
00:10:56.960 --> 00:10:59.919
<v Speaker 3>And we kind of get a sense that what they

198
00:11:00.120 --> 00:11:05.639
<v Speaker 3>call that guy, the director Cermak, is thinking more of

199
00:11:06.240 --> 00:11:11.159
<v Speaker 3>a military and economic sense about bringing all these planets in. Yeah,

200
00:11:11.200 --> 00:11:15.360
<v Speaker 3>he wants to establish outpost and get resources and things

201
00:11:15.399 --> 00:11:18.559
<v Speaker 3>like that. There's an interesting line I think from Harry

202
00:11:18.559 --> 00:11:21.639
<v Speaker 3>Seldon over in the other storyline that like the foundation

203
00:11:21.840 --> 00:11:25.240
<v Speaker 3>without like with power unchecked, basically becomes the empire again.

204
00:11:25.480 --> 00:11:26.039
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

205
00:11:26.080 --> 00:11:28.919
<v Speaker 3>So, I mean there is some interesting aspects going on

206
00:11:28.960 --> 00:11:30.960
<v Speaker 3>to that, I do think, but some of it was

207
00:11:31.039 --> 00:11:35.120
<v Speaker 3>just delivered in such a boring way, like that meeting

208
00:11:35.200 --> 00:11:38.200
<v Speaker 3>room was not an interesting way to establish all this.

209
00:11:38.639 --> 00:11:41.039
<v Speaker 2>No, and like they said, it's starting to look like

210
00:11:41.120 --> 00:11:43.360
<v Speaker 2>Tarmac or whatever. I don't know what the name of

211
00:11:43.399 --> 00:11:43.960
<v Speaker 2>that one.

212
00:11:45.799 --> 00:11:48.720
<v Speaker 3>Trantor Yeah, yeah, there's a lot of names to keep

213
00:11:48.720 --> 00:11:49.120
<v Speaker 3>track of.

214
00:11:50.480 --> 00:11:53.679
<v Speaker 2>I don't know. I feel like that guy he wanted

215
00:11:53.679 --> 00:11:59.840
<v Speaker 2>a bigger role, and I think he got off really easy. Yeah,

216
00:12:00.080 --> 00:12:04.720
<v Speaker 2>because that other motherfucker was burned to ash. So I

217
00:12:04.720 --> 00:12:06.600
<v Speaker 2>don't know. No, Harry seldom for them.

218
00:12:06.879 --> 00:12:09.080
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I don't know why he couldn't come out and

219
00:12:09.159 --> 00:12:09.720
<v Speaker 3>just say.

220
00:12:09.480 --> 00:12:11.879
<v Speaker 2>That because he had to emphasize his point.

221
00:12:12.200 --> 00:12:14.240
<v Speaker 3>I do think it would be helpful if in some

222
00:12:14.320 --> 00:12:17.919
<v Speaker 3>way they just helped this like visualize the galaxy and

223
00:12:18.000 --> 00:12:21.039
<v Speaker 3>like wherever around them like a map.

224
00:12:21.279 --> 00:12:26.440
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, like every other fucking science fiction fantasy show gives you.

225
00:12:27.279 --> 00:12:31.360
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, some sort of establishing thing to like here's where

226
00:12:31.399 --> 00:12:34.679
<v Speaker 3>the foundation is, and here's kind of their alliance is now,

227
00:12:34.960 --> 00:12:37.960
<v Speaker 3>and here's where these other places that they're talking about,

228
00:12:38.000 --> 00:12:41.639
<v Speaker 3>because it's it's not always clear, and it's when they're

229
00:12:41.639 --> 00:12:43.720
<v Speaker 3>trying to tell you that, like, you know, the Foundation

230
00:12:43.799 --> 00:12:46.559
<v Speaker 3>has grown a lot, but they're just they're telling, not showing.

231
00:12:46.759 --> 00:12:49.919
<v Speaker 2>Show show not tell. It's called a television show.

232
00:12:50.039 --> 00:12:51.960
<v Speaker 3>Give me a quick power point somewhere in there.

233
00:12:52.480 --> 00:12:54.559
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it could have been cool if they if they

234
00:12:54.639 --> 00:12:59.960
<v Speaker 2>had like a strategic plan at the table, showing like, Okay,

235
00:12:59.840 --> 00:13:02.480
<v Speaker 2>these are the colonies that we have invested, and here

236
00:13:02.519 --> 00:13:04.759
<v Speaker 2>are the ones that are still on the fence. This

237
00:13:04.879 --> 00:13:07.080
<v Speaker 2>is the one you just came from. How did it go?

238
00:13:07.320 --> 00:13:09.480
<v Speaker 2>Did anything else happen in the show? I feel like

239
00:13:09.559 --> 00:13:10.480
<v Speaker 2>not a lot happened.

240
00:13:11.360 --> 00:13:13.600
<v Speaker 3>As I mentioned earlier, there was that action scene at

241
00:13:13.600 --> 00:13:15.600
<v Speaker 3>the beginning that I thought was really well done and

242
00:13:16.000 --> 00:13:18.679
<v Speaker 3>was the most exciting part of the episode was a

243
00:13:18.679 --> 00:13:19.799
<v Speaker 3>little downhill from there.

244
00:13:20.000 --> 00:13:23.879
<v Speaker 2>It isn't that weird that you start with like your climax.

245
00:13:27.120 --> 00:13:29.639
<v Speaker 3>But yeah, I liked that scene. I like, I mean,

246
00:13:29.799 --> 00:13:33.320
<v Speaker 3>the action was good. I was wondering, like, so Salvor

247
00:13:33.480 --> 00:13:36.399
<v Speaker 3>goes out on top of the ship to like bang

248
00:13:36.399 --> 00:13:37.639
<v Speaker 3>on that vent or whatever.

249
00:13:37.799 --> 00:13:38.200
<v Speaker 2>Uh huh.

250
00:13:38.360 --> 00:13:40.200
<v Speaker 3>She couldn't have brought like a hammer or something to.

251
00:13:40.320 --> 00:13:42.519
<v Speaker 2>Like she had her knife and then she lost it.

252
00:13:43.159 --> 00:13:44.799
<v Speaker 3>Well, she was just like punching a lot.

253
00:13:45.080 --> 00:13:47.080
<v Speaker 2>Well, she lost her knife. So she had a punch.

254
00:13:47.600 --> 00:13:51.559
<v Speaker 2>It showed that she's tough, and you know, she thinks

255
00:13:51.600 --> 00:13:54.919
<v Speaker 2>on her heat. What would a gale done. She would

256
00:13:54.960 --> 00:13:57.919
<v Speaker 2>have held her breath. Oh she would have yeah, counted

257
00:13:57.960 --> 00:13:59.559
<v Speaker 2>exponents or whatever she does.

258
00:14:00.919 --> 00:14:02.960
<v Speaker 3>And I feel like we got more emotion out of

259
00:14:03.000 --> 00:14:04.360
<v Speaker 3>them than we did last episode.

260
00:14:04.480 --> 00:14:07.720
<v Speaker 2>Yeah for sure. When they hugged, Yeah, yeah.

261
00:14:07.559 --> 00:14:09.559
<v Speaker 3>That was really good. One hug was like more than

262
00:14:09.600 --> 00:14:12.240
<v Speaker 3>we got all last episode when they were learning that

263
00:14:12.279 --> 00:14:13.440
<v Speaker 3>they're related and everything.

264
00:14:13.720 --> 00:14:16.480
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, So I did enjoy their hug.

265
00:14:16.679 --> 00:14:19.759
<v Speaker 3>Yeah. So they genuinely care for each other and that's

266
00:14:19.840 --> 00:14:20.320
<v Speaker 3>nice to see.

267
00:14:20.559 --> 00:14:24.120
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and it's sad that she had to see her dead. Yeah,

268
00:14:24.279 --> 00:14:27.440
<v Speaker 2>so that's scary. But I don't think like anything set

269
00:14:27.639 --> 00:14:30.879
<v Speaker 2>in stone in terms of the future, so that's kind

270
00:14:30.879 --> 00:14:31.279
<v Speaker 2>of nice.

271
00:14:31.759 --> 00:14:35.600
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, they just they don't know if they're changing things

272
00:14:35.639 --> 00:14:37.639
<v Speaker 3>or if they're playing into it, and it's kind of

273
00:14:37.679 --> 00:14:38.879
<v Speaker 3>this mind game that they're in.

274
00:14:38.919 --> 00:14:41.960
<v Speaker 2>Now. I love the Mule. It was that very brief

275
00:14:42.039 --> 00:14:45.240
<v Speaker 2>moment I saw of him, him with his blazing blue

276
00:14:45.240 --> 00:14:49.360
<v Speaker 2>eyes looking into her soul and saying, what's this a

277
00:14:49.480 --> 00:14:53.000
<v Speaker 2>younger Gale looking at me from the past. Ah, that's

278
00:14:53.000 --> 00:14:53.759
<v Speaker 2>so iconic.

279
00:14:55.360 --> 00:14:59.120
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I'm excited, like not. I wasn't expecting to see

280
00:14:59.440 --> 00:15:03.080
<v Speaker 3>the Mule at disappoint the storyline, yeah, because yeah, so

281
00:15:03.120 --> 00:15:05.720
<v Speaker 3>they found an interesting way to thread that in.

282
00:15:05.759 --> 00:15:07.159
<v Speaker 2>Like jumping into the future.

283
00:15:07.440 --> 00:15:11.639
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, and so it sounds like Gail and Salvor and

284
00:15:11.879 --> 00:15:13.960
<v Speaker 3>that version of Fairy Selman. I guess they're going to

285
00:15:14.120 --> 00:15:18.240
<v Speaker 3>be establishing the second Foundation, yeah joy. Oh, yes, and they'll

286
00:15:18.240 --> 00:15:20.080
<v Speaker 3>have to change the show to Foundations.

287
00:15:20.399 --> 00:15:23.639
<v Speaker 2>Maybe foundation is just like the name of their cult,

288
00:15:23.720 --> 00:15:24.919
<v Speaker 2>and it's very much a cult.

289
00:15:25.240 --> 00:15:25.440
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

290
00:15:25.480 --> 00:15:26.200
<v Speaker 2>I didn't like that.

291
00:15:26.360 --> 00:15:28.480
<v Speaker 3>I don't like that they steered hard into that.

292
00:15:28.799 --> 00:15:32.080
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, they really did. And honestly, I bet Harry would

293
00:15:32.120 --> 00:15:34.320
<v Speaker 2>love it. I bet he'd be really into that. Whole

294
00:15:34.320 --> 00:15:37.200
<v Speaker 2>statue of him and them waiting for him, and the

295
00:15:37.279 --> 00:15:40.200
<v Speaker 2>pump and circumstance and all that. I think he'd be

296
00:15:40.240 --> 00:15:42.720
<v Speaker 2>really into that. Even though he's supposed to be a

297
00:15:42.720 --> 00:15:45.440
<v Speaker 2>man of science and maths and all that. He was

298
00:15:45.480 --> 00:15:48.879
<v Speaker 2>like a I don't know that. The last season, I

299
00:15:48.879 --> 00:15:52.720
<v Speaker 2>can think of him framing Gail to bring come into

300
00:15:53.240 --> 00:15:57.799
<v Speaker 2>the fold with him, and him like presenting his ideas

301
00:15:57.840 --> 00:16:02.440
<v Speaker 2>in the court of the Empire. All this like very dramatic,

302
00:16:02.879 --> 00:16:07.519
<v Speaker 2>very showbody kind of personality. But it was interesting to

303
00:16:07.519 --> 00:16:10.919
<v Speaker 2>see him so humble in that version of himself where

304
00:16:10.919 --> 00:16:14.720
<v Speaker 2>he's meeting Gail and them. He seemed less sure of

305
00:16:14.840 --> 00:16:18.919
<v Speaker 2>himself because he was trapped for like one hundred years

306
00:16:19.000 --> 00:16:22.320
<v Speaker 2>oh by himself. He's like, you didn't think what would

307
00:16:22.399 --> 00:16:23.000
<v Speaker 2>happen to me?

308
00:16:23.559 --> 00:16:28.000
<v Speaker 3>And she's like, my bad, oops, I thought I turned

309
00:16:28.039 --> 00:16:28.399
<v Speaker 3>you off.

310
00:16:30.480 --> 00:16:32.279
<v Speaker 2>You weren't in sleep mode. My bad.

311
00:16:33.639 --> 00:16:36.120
<v Speaker 3>I think we touched on everything, Yeah.

312
00:16:36.240 --> 00:16:38.840
<v Speaker 2>As much as I want to, because I really I'm

313
00:16:38.879 --> 00:16:41.000
<v Speaker 2>still waiting for the show to start, Like it feels

314
00:16:41.000 --> 00:16:43.919
<v Speaker 2>like it's preheating right now. I'm ready to cook some

315
00:16:43.960 --> 00:16:45.399
<v Speaker 2>buns in the oven or something.

316
00:16:45.440 --> 00:16:47.840
<v Speaker 3>Come on, guys, you ready for the mule?

317
00:16:48.240 --> 00:16:51.679
<v Speaker 2>Will I want something to happen because the Empire is

318
00:16:51.720 --> 00:16:52.720
<v Speaker 2>not a good bad guy.

319
00:16:53.000 --> 00:16:55.360
<v Speaker 3>No, I mean right now, like the Empire is not

320
00:16:55.399 --> 00:17:00.919
<v Speaker 3>even really opposing the foundation. Then we're gonna wait, foundations

321
00:17:00.919 --> 00:17:03.519
<v Speaker 3>still exists. I gotta focus on this other stuff.

322
00:17:03.679 --> 00:17:05.240
<v Speaker 2>Let me put that on the back burner.

323
00:17:05.799 --> 00:17:11.039
<v Speaker 3>I've got my hopefully future wife, I've got my stepmom situation.

324
00:17:11.720 --> 00:17:14.039
<v Speaker 3>I got my brother's raising down my neck. Like there's

325
00:17:14.039 --> 00:17:14.799
<v Speaker 3>a lot going on at home.

326
00:17:14.839 --> 00:17:17.599
<v Speaker 2>We're gonna circle back, We're gonna put a pin in it.

327
00:17:18.480 --> 00:17:18.920
<v Speaker 2>I don't know.

328
00:17:20.359 --> 00:17:23.680
<v Speaker 3>Interesting he doesn't. He reveals a lot to the queen,

329
00:17:23.759 --> 00:17:28.240
<v Speaker 3>but not that. Uh Demerzal is the robot. Yeah, she's

330
00:17:28.279 --> 00:17:32.559
<v Speaker 3>got her own arrangements. So man, it's interesting that keeps

331
00:17:32.559 --> 00:17:38.000
<v Speaker 3>that closer to the chest than hisses. Yeah.

332
00:17:38.559 --> 00:17:42.759
<v Speaker 1>Astral Queen, who was the stand out character in the episode.

333
00:17:43.079 --> 00:17:46.279
<v Speaker 3>Do you have an Astral queen for this episode?

334
00:17:46.519 --> 00:17:49.880
<v Speaker 2>I'm gonna give it to the Cloud Queen her again. Yeah.

335
00:17:49.920 --> 00:17:52.039
<v Speaker 2>She's just a sassy bitch and I love her.

336
00:17:52.279 --> 00:17:53.359
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, she is really good.

337
00:17:54.240 --> 00:17:58.039
<v Speaker 2>She's like got the best quips. She's she's sharp as

338
00:17:58.079 --> 00:17:58.519
<v Speaker 2>the tack.

339
00:17:59.279 --> 00:18:02.400
<v Speaker 3>Doesn't let him like bullshit through anything. Yeah.

340
00:18:02.559 --> 00:18:06.480
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, So and she's not. She even like was very honest.

341
00:18:06.559 --> 00:18:09.880
<v Speaker 2>She's like, I wasn't trained in leadership. I'm not a leader.

342
00:18:10.039 --> 00:18:13.039
<v Speaker 2>I studied art and music and dance and all this shit,

343
00:18:13.559 --> 00:18:15.799
<v Speaker 2>Like I was never meant to be in this position.

344
00:18:16.079 --> 00:18:17.960
<v Speaker 2>But now that I am, I'm not gonna shut the

345
00:18:17.960 --> 00:18:18.400
<v Speaker 2>fuck up.

346
00:18:18.519 --> 00:18:22.519
<v Speaker 3>And I love that. Yeah, I'm really curious what her

347
00:18:22.599 --> 00:18:24.480
<v Speaker 3>role is in the future of the show, Like.

348
00:18:24.599 --> 00:18:26.440
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, what will become of them?

349
00:18:26.720 --> 00:18:30.279
<v Speaker 3>Like even just assuming that they do get married, try

350
00:18:30.319 --> 00:18:33.279
<v Speaker 3>to consummate, consummate like.

351

<v Speaker 3>Yeah, he doesn't want to reverse set vasectony. Yeah, yeah,

354
00:18:41.960 --> 00:18:44.160

355
00:18:44.160 --> 00:18:48.319
<v Speaker 3>this relationship? How does her role in the Empire play out?

356
00:18:49.079 --> 00:18:50.720
<v Speaker 3>I'm so to pick someone too, aren't they?
