Yeah I watched the first two episodes of Foundation and immediately peaced out. And that one’s even more ridiculous because the foundation books are more of an outline than an actual fleshed out story. So really, all they had to do was fill in the blanks. And they still fucked it up beyond all recognition. I’m sure it was probably enjoyable to somebody who’s never read even one of the Foundation books. But for somebody who’s read the entire series it was an insult.

Yeah, I have friends who love that show and I could barely make it to 4 episodes. They literally killed off the best character/actor in the second or third episode.

Meh

They screwed it up completely within the first 5 minutes of the first episode so not a big deal for anyone who’s actually read the books.

It’s more than legal issues around the funding. The company that was funding them decided that they wanted to take over production and believe they had a contractual right to do so. If it was just about funding he probably could have crowdsourced the money or gotten funding from someplace else.
