That... was not bad.

That was a moderately enjoyable, if ... completely credibility-breaking episode.

So, Seldon is magic now, he has magic math powers that can break all laws of physics, good to know!

Still, wasn't actually painful, and there was 0 GAAL, WOOHOO!!! Monk chick is really cool btw!
I'm starting to like this more, I think. I appreciate the bantz that the 'drunk and the monk' bring to this show, and Hober Mallow has grown on me.

I feel like Bel's boyf isn't long for this world (or any world for that matter).

Only downsides were no Lee Pace, and Gaal's never-not-annoying voice-overs. After last week, I was hoping they were being done away with.
I like this episode:

I believe its the first episode without either Brother Day, Gaal or Salvor.

The Queen is definitely behind the attack on Empire

I like all the new characters: the Queen, both Brother Contant and Poly, Hober. Hober and Constant have a nice chemistry.
I watched the first few episodes and they were horrible. Did it get better in season 2?
- I only like the Emipre story from the first season, not the Foundation story.
  
  Second season is much better, better editiing, new characters and the editing is all good. I'm four episodes in the second second and I like every episode so far.
- I can't speak to Season 2, but Season 1 actually manages to get worse after the first few episodes.
  
  It's bad show made somewhat less awful by regular injections of Lee Pace. But even God's most perfect man is not enough to save it.
