You're kidding, right? The series would have been better if it weren't called Foundation. They've mutilated the source material far worse than anything JJ Abrams has ever done.

If you start watching that show because of the name and history, then it's a terrible show.

If you took Jersey Shore and renamed it "Lord of the Rings: Shoreline" while having the characters spout the word "Hobbit" here and there, people would be rightfully disappointed.

This honestly isn't far off of that. The show is a disgrace to the books and shouldn't share the name. Maybe if I can go back and forget the association, I could appreciate it for what it is. But it's not what it was sold as.

I don’t know what to say. I went in not expecting a 1 to 1 of the books. I agree there are definitely some things that are very questionable and things I don’t like, and I think there are some cool things about it too. I love the books and they will always be there for me to enjoy. I just don’t have the energy to get that upset about stuff like this anymore. I’m not trying to change your mind and I see where you’re coming from. I’m just trying to say that liking the series doesn’t automatically mean you’ve never read the books.
