This article contains spoilers For the "Foundation" Season 3.

By the end of season 3 of the Foundation, the Galactic Empire is in a free fall, the first foundation is in Flux, the second foundation is the ascending and The muzz (with a twist) has been discovered. However, one neglected but important development of this action packed season, did not come to the final. He quietly entered the penultimate episode, "the paths that choose us."

Towards the end, Demermel (Laura Byrne) enters The very important galactic librarywhere she has a meeting with Kale (or who is actually the image of Ranna King). Since Demermel is struggling to calculate how to help the second foundation while she knows it is a threat to the empire he serves, Kale summarizes the fight, saying:

"The whole thing is a nightmare on the computer. You know you can help her second basis because you have. What should be the output now is the entrance and fall through the paradox loop."

Demerchel, clearly in trouble, decomposes as he does not know if the paradox will "satisfy my programming". She does not understand her opposing motives in the situation and basically, she is the second assumption of everything. At this point, Kale says both motives are an option, and the delayed betrayal is the best choice. Demerchel seems to be pleased and free from the idea. Then Kale says something very interesting:

"Look at how it helps to have someone think? This is right."

The ordinary point, made on the robot, probably from the robot, immediately remembers a scene from one of Isaac Asimov's books, but I'm not talking about a novel "Foundation".

In the book "Robots and Empire", two robots named R. Giscard Revenolov and R. Danel Olivav works together to develop the innovative and positive law of curling the brain. This is the fourth Law on Robotics that comes to the famous three original legislative declarations of Asimov (robots do not hurt people, respect people and protect themselves, in that order). The law on zero allows robots to harm people, but only in the defense or the search for a larger tapestry of mankind.

The robot Danel Olivav, who helps the development of this law, is actually the same as Demerzel in the "Foundation". The character is one of the basic Connecting themes between Asimov's robots and his foundation books. By the time of its founding in the books, Demerzel is busy applying the law on null, but the robot has not come out with that complex reading of the traditional three laws of robotics independently. That (I say "it" at this point because in the books Demerzel is shown as a man, in the show as a woman) he did so with the help of the Giscard Revenov robot.

In the book, there are detailed conversations between Giscard and Danel, as they determine what the law on zero might be, decide whether they can adopt the law and then learn how to apply it. This makes the scene between Kale and Demerzel Classic Moment asimov where robots learn "to have someone to think".

The relationship to have a thinking robot is fun, but there is a peaceful question in my mind: is Kale just another robot that speaks of positron "couplings" and robots that communicate in a true asimovski style, or is she more than that? I was wondering this all season. Back in Episode 2, "Math Shadows", Kale accompanies the death of Harry Seldon (Aredar Harris) through a portal to an unknown location. When talking about "having skin in the game", Kale points out that "we can't". A few moments before, she initiates the portal with a twinkle of red shining from her eyes. Easy. Robot, right?

But then, the character of Rowana King has repeatedly noted that she is not exactly what we think she is. She tells Demerzel, similar cryptic things in episode 9, pointing out that Harry thought he was the main light and saying, "I know what you want to be. As she is looking for. The robots were not designed to stand alone."

All signs indicate a robotic entity containing pieces of kale and others in it. But it is strange that Kale was still so cryptic when faced with another robot, especially at the end of the season, when all the big "discoveries" happened as a day as a day. I wonder if that means she's actually a little more than that. I think this may be our first glance at the Gaia Entity. Gaia is a living planet inhabited by people (led by robots) working as a collective organism. Where is the muzzy And it is really important in the later novels of the Asimov Foundation And in the future seasons of the show "Foundation". Can Kale be the first hanger we get in Apple TV+ adaptation of this live planet? It is possible - but the truth is, we will not get a solid answer to Now the green season 4 It appears in our streaming queues. Start the countdown.

Season 3 Foundation is an Apple TV+streaming.
