Will there be a season 2? Would it be safe to say that the truth may not surface this year, but that you will have to wait two years for the next season during which the truth may still not surface?
Clearly, there are different views on Foundation. I’ve just rewatched the first season in anticipation of season two coming next month. Thoroughly enjoyed it — again! I don’t care how different it is from the books (I read them in the ‘70s, so I don’t remember much at all, to be honest). I’m enjoying the series for what it is — engaging, visually interesting, well-acted, fantasy/sci-fi.
On an unrelated note. Tehran is my current favourite AppleTV+ series. I hope it runs and runs.
Sadly, they cancelled Little Voice, which I had really enjoyed. But, that’s show business, right?
Haven’t seen the show but the books were incredible. Read them years ago as they came out. One of the first if not the first sci fi series to legitimize Amazon as a first party publishing platform.
I thought the 'book' was really just a short story and that was covered only by the first episode? Everything after the first episode is not from the original story - at least this is what I heard from a friend. 🤷♂️
Twitter is the 4th most visited website worldwide validated by billions of people. Apple is just following clicks.
Yeah, still seems you did, TBH...

This was a great comment on Reddit:
I work at a power plant with many steam turbines and I was texting all of my coworkers like "We did it everybody, it's our time to shine. A steam turbine blade is a plot device on a major television series!"

Ok, but they didn’t “make it up” as you claimed. Relax, buddy, and have a grown up conversation.So you were able to selectively remember the news saying they left, but not the news they were back and twitters biggest advertiser?
Elon Musk Says Apple Has 'Fully Resumed' Advertising on Twitter
Apple has "fully resumed" advertising on the Twitter social network, Twitter CEO Elon Musk said today during a two-hour Twitter Spaces chat...
Wow, on Twitter, can't think of a better site to be so generous with the world. One free episode. Oh, wait, this is just marketing to try to get people hooked into AppleTV+ subscription. Is this news, really?
PS: I am enjoying the show, it has its irritating aspects, but it is a good show. My comment is mostly about Apple giving a morsel away and Macrumors elevating this to "news".

Apple is known (or maybe now was) praised for its amazing advertising. It baffles me how poorly the advertise their shows, even on their own app. There is so much good content, for such a cheap price that no one will ever watch.
It started out as a short story that then got expanded into 3 full-length novels.
The show looks like it's only going to get half way through the first novel in season 1 so get ready for a big cliffhanger.
The first episode was pretty straight, but later episodes have changed an awful lot of the detailed plot although they still seem to be heading in the same general direction.
Yes. that was cringeworthy - there's a "fixing the generator" scene in the book but it bears no resemblance to the show. However, there's a later bit in the book that will have anybody who knows even a smidgin about diving shouting at the page/screen.
(Edit: Spoiler tags added after the fact. Sorry - I thought they were too vague to need hiding)

Twitter with almost half a billion monthly users, doesn't need Apple validation, what they're doing is advertising to half a billion potentially new customers 😊
Certainly not the so called Twitter insiders 🤣That is contrary to what Twitter insiders have said based on a news article from earlier this month
Twitter’s U.S. Ad Sales Plunge 59% as Woes Continue
In internal forecasts, the company projected that ad sales would keep declining, handing a tough challenge to its new chief executive.
Some of Twitter’s biggest advertisers — including Apple, Amazon and Disney — have been spending less on the platform than last year, three former and current Twitter employees said. Large specialized “banner” ads on Twitter’s trends page, which can cost $500,000 for 24 hours and are almost always bought by large brands to promote events, shows or movies, are often going unfilled, they said.
and what data from Insider Intelligence, a market research firm, shows
Home Page
App industry news, data & analysis for people building, marketing and monetizing appswww.businessofapps.com
It was previously reported that over 500 advertisers stopped spending on Twitter earlier this year and daily revenues were 40% lower than the year before.
Major advertisers like Apple and Amazon reduced their expenditure on the platform and earlier this year, Insider Intelligence revised its forecast for Twitter’s global ad revenue in 2023, reducing it by 37% to $2.98 billion. This represents a 28% decline from Twitter’s projected ad revenue of $4.14 billion for 2022.
It seems Twitter is now determining ways to simplify buying ad space and creating automated ways to purchase ads outside of the US.
Key takeaways
- Twitter’s US ad revenue dropped by 59% in April-May, falling short of sales projections
- Content concerns, including hate speech and explicit material, may deter advertisers from using Twitter’s platform
- Major advertisers, such as Apple and Amazon, reduced spending on Twitter
Who do we believe?
There are certain types of people, to whom facts just don't mater 😏
I read Wool a few year ago and really enjoyed it; always wondered if/when they would come out with a TV show based on it. Very interested to see how it pans out.
