Anyone watching the new foundation series? Thought I’d post a thread for the most recent episode to see if there’s any interest.

Edit: Any book readers please put those comments with spoiler tags!

I know that to align with the books, Vault Seldon had to be clueless, but

I found it a bit unbelievable how Vault Seldon acts or has acted. He had the Prime Radiant, learned that it could be used to peek outside his vault, should have known that the future was 'off course' even after the second crisis, but he gave the Prime Radiant to the very person that was compelled by law to work against his plan? And because he gave the Prime Radiant away, he didn't know anything about the real third chrisis.

In season 2, Vault Seldon struck me as someone who realized that for his plan to work, it required more action and that he had the power to enact this action. In season 3 so far, he seems to blindly follow his 'programming'.

Yeah that part did feel inconsistent with how he had been portrayed before that.
