This article contains spoilers For the "Foundation" Season 3, Episode 3, when a book finds you. "

The Foundation is back in season 3, and the arrival of Muz is warming things up. It also rapidly expands the story, including the establishment of the second foundation. (Does that mean that the title of the show should be changed to "foundations" now, or at least Get your treatment with Tereveli, "Thunder*"-style?)

The second foundation is a great deal in the story of author Isaac Asimov. In fact, as the seven -book series appears, the second foundation becomes much more important than the first foundation. Expect to absorb the spotlight and play a big role in the show, advancing forward.

But is the second foundation that Harry Seldon (Aredar Harris) and Gaal Dornik (Lou Lobel) counterfeit Ignis in the show holding the predecessor of printing on the site? There are several clear connections, but like all things with this impressive but wildly perverted adaptation, there are many changes. Let's look closely at the second.

The first and most obvious change for the second foundation, compared to books, is its location. In the "Foundation" Season 2Gaal, Harry and Salvor Hardin (Leah Harvey) end up in a warm, worldwide jungle world, where they reveal a unique world of mentality (Televats that can take their minds to influence and control others). They are led by Tem Bond (Rachel House), who attracted the planet's mentality and captivated them to her will.

By the end of the season, Telem and Hardin are dead. (Harry dies as well, but he returns again, Factor that influenced how they handled the character's arc in season 3.) And Ignis? It remains important.

As Season 3 begins, Harry and Gaal are still on the Ignis, going through what should be a trippy cycle of crying for years and occasionally awakening short styles to teach the mental colony in preparation for their psychochistoric future. Again, all this happens on Ignis - a planet in the middle of nowhere, without geographical wearing a larger story. Nothing could have been away from the books.

In the source material, the second foundation was established early (before the first foundation) of Seldon (without Gal Dornik) and his family, friends and followers because they build their mathematical concept of psychochistory and set their plans to reset the empire in the future. And the Seldon is chosen as a home for the second foundation? The books tease this location for an extremely long time, celebrating that the group is hidden at the "end of the Starweet". At different points in the story, this is considered to be the opposite end of the first foundation galaxy, or the center of the inner spiral of the Milky Way. (Two different but inaccurate ways to physical interpretation of the term "end of the starvet".)

In reality, the second foundation is always right on the imperial capital planet of the transformer itself. It is the "opposite end" of the Social Foundation than geographically, and the center of everything with millennia in human history. The group is originally hidden in the Galactic Library at the heart of the bullying metropolis on the planet of 40 billion. Later, it persists in tweets and projects to renew the defeated capital planet, too. Is never at or near a place called Ignis.

There is a heavy cult atmosphere with the second foundation on the Apple TV+show. Her followers gather in secret to awaken their divine cryospars who plan the future-oh, and anyone can control the minds. Yes, it's a cult 101 things right there. As the season progresses, we see a greater structure of the operation. For example, in episode 2, we met the leader of the group, Preem Palver (Troy Cosor), which functions as the first speaker of the mental colony. Overall, however, the group is wild and scattered in their operations.

In the books, until we meet the second basis, the tone could not have been different. It is a well -commissioned group of academics living in a preserved library, hidden in the middle of rural renewal projects in the rubble of a transnor.

However, the way these groups work still end up approximately how they do in the books. (That's part of the adaptive magic of this show.) In the Apple TV+version, says Gaal in Season 3, Episode 2, "We Can't Learn All Mentals of All Psychochistory, but We Can Learn Parts of Each." That concept comes directly from the source material. In the book for prediction "Foundation Forward", Harry Seldon himself says this:

"We will have one foundation that will consist largely of Physical Scientists, who will preserve the knowline of humanity and service as the nucleus for the second Empire. And there will be a second foundation of psy Only-mentalists, mind-toching psychohistorians-which will be able to work on Psychohistory in a multi-minded way, advancing that far more Quickly than Individual Thinkers Ever Coul. Who Will Introduce Fine Adjustments as Time Continues, you look in the background, watching.

Regardless of the location, the story of origin or cult prevails, in its core, the second base is the same in both the show and in the books. It is the mental counterpoint on the first basis, the "thumb of the ladder" that can adjust history as needed - and believe me, it will be necessary as the story moves forward.

The Foundation is an Apple TV+streaming.
