5. We (all 3 of us) LIKE Foundation a lot!

Of course it's different from the books, but that is generally always the case when adapting any book(s) to film. And to be honest, I had a hard time wading through the Foundation books (says she who read ALL of Frank Herbert's Dune series), and from what I recall of what I read, as many have said over the years, it would not adapt very well to film, whether television or motion picture. I think television is a great choice for this, and I am fine with the adaptations so far. The idea is to retain the spirit of the work, not necessarily the letter of the work. The ideas have to work, and be the focus. And that is what I've seen in these first two episodes.

I have to say, too--and I know not everyone has these things or even cares about them, but I love film, and I do care, so I have scrimped and saved in order to have them--it is absolutely stunning on a big screen TV in 4K OLED with surround sound and Dolby Atmos. I was wowed. It takes full advantage of the technology!
