This article contains spoilers For the "Foundation" Season 3, Episode 9.

The Apple TV+ Foundation Series has earned the anger of many hardcore fans of Isaac Asimov's book series with the same name for the creator and show -show David S. Goyer Changing a lot of things from source material. Faithful or not, what is indisputable is that one of the biggest changes in the show can end very well as the biggest heritage of the Foundation: the Kells.

These characters are three emperors, all clones of the original emperor: one as a young man titled Brother Zora (Cassian Biloton), one as a middle -aged man entitled Brother Day (Lee Pais), and one as an older man with the title Brother Twilight (Terrence Man). On the surface, having a cycle of cloned emperors than an appropriate succession line is a practical way to "find" some actors around while changing virtually the entire team of season after season (as well as a way to appear pace mostly or completely naked at least once per season).

However, it has a deeper meaning for the genetic dynasty than only continuity. These characters are a way to personify the decaying empire. The classes are intended to be unchanging, permanent and permanent, like their Galactic Empire. But It is no longer true in season 3, After reinforcing Clion's genetic original material, slowly making subsequent sprays slowly moving away and farther away from Clion I. This culminated in the brilliance that is the day of the Brotherut Day (Clion XXIV), also known as a brother, or a dude, or a dude, or a dude, or a dude, or a dude, or a dude, or a dude. The empiral. His story is the hallmark of the season, because not only allows Lee Pace to do the best of his career and allows the audience to see a whole new side of Clion, but also because he is linked to Demerzel (Laura BIRN), a robotic assistant to the emperors.

This culminated in one-two strokes of episodes 8 and 9 of the third season of the show, where brother Dad ended up captured and released to trial by heritage, a religious cult that loves robots, for Clion I massacred most of the cult centuries. During the trial, there is a brother Dad, because he learns about the Messiah of the cult, the robot that will bring them salvation. That robot lived long enough to see not only the rise of the empire and the fall of the robots, but also the rise of the foundation. That robot is essentially linked to the history of mankind and has directly and indirectly influenced humanity. It sounds like someone you know?

The Foundation treats Demerzel in a very different way from the original material. The adaptation of Apple TV+ initially had no rights in Asimov's "Robot" series, which strongly characterized a character called R. Danel Olivav, who later retired as a character of Eto'o Demerzel from his series "Foundation". In an effort to connect his two series, he made Demerzel be a huge important character that has secretly led humanity for thousands of years.

However, the TV show had to completely avoid any mention of the history of Olivav or Demerzel beyond her relationship with the empire. But it has changed in season 3, which is now Complete adjustment of the "robot" series and explores Demerzel's pastEven named Danel in Episode 8. He took the "Foundation" approach to reveal the backstew of Demerzel as the best scenario. For fans, it is simply cool to see the show gradually turning on the whole history of the character. In the narrative sense, it means that we assumed that it was just an interesting side character is actually very important. It's not just that Demermel is old, it's that she has an important role. We have learned parts of this when Demerchel revealed earlier in the season that Helped helped Harry Seldon (Aredard Harris) create psychochistory and later later helped the foundation by bombarding the Starwell Bridge And killing thousands to ensure the foundation to grow, because it was in the benefit of mankind.

It refers to a great idea that is slowly introducing: the laws of robotics. These are very important for writing Asimov and strongly influential on the genre of science. As we learned earlier in the season, the laws created a paradox that led to the fact that the robots were fighting each other as to whether they should take a more active role in controlling humanity and even killing some people to prevent them from being exterminated. In the case of Demerzel, her attempts to retain the dying dynasty and the failed Empire - Clion I was reprogrammed to serve only his dynasty - they turned it into the largest ally of Seldon's plan. In helping the foundations for her belief that in return she will extend the life of the empire, Demerzel has become a kind of robotic version of the prophet "Duna" Prophet Quisac Haderah, leading humanity to the golden road.

It is especially important that the man who has learned about Demerzel's importance to the history of mankind is no one but a brother's brother. Not twilight, not dawn, but a day, a clion that tends to go from treating Demerzel as a mother to treat her as a sex subject. Prior to his trial, in episode 7, Brother DAD had the Epiphany caused by Hallucinogen, where he realized that Demerzel was captured and captured all his life, just as he was captured and captive right now. For the first time in his life, the daytime experiences are experiencing empathy for another character.

Speaking with /film Day's) Mind Open in Another Way to Realize that this robot who has been all over HIM HIS WHOL LIFE IS THE EQUIVALENT OF LIKE AN ARCHANGEL, centuries to save humanity. "

This realization has changed something in the day, which has spent his entire life without directing and meaningless. The comparisons of the "Great Lebovski" are not only due to the physical activity or appearance of this day, but because of his attitude without care. But no longer. "Suddenly, he has a goal," Pace continued. "He gave him a direction because he understands that" my life has a value. The only reason my life has a value is because this wonderful being has given me life. "

This is one of the best arches of the "Foundation" characters in its three seasons, turning the personification of the empire - a cruel, violent despot - in a humble man who wants to risk everything not to save his empire or to be saved, but to free the creature he has kept his life. Episode 9 sees how he fights all over the cult of heritage and stole a robotic skull before literally going to the palace in order to release Demerzel, the true protagonist of the Foundation. We do not know if we get more sprayers after this, given how quickly the Empire collapses, but one thing is clear: we still got the best version of Clion.

The Foundation's Season 3 Finals hit Apple TV+ on September 12, 2025.
