#145769 — OT: Apple TV news for Asimov fans

I just found the cost of my iPad to get free Apple TV+ for a year might
have been worth every penny. Maybe!

For all the Asimov ‘Foundation’ fans out there (I’m one, probably my
favourite ever set of books to read), they’ve made/making a Foundation
series for 2021. The trailer looks good, hopefully not the usual full of
the only good bits trailer, but it does look like it could be worth a
watch.

Just finished reading the 6 book trilogy! There was also a radio version 
of the original books some years back.

“6 book trilogy!”

Wouldn’t that be a hexgology? :-)

It's actually more than 6 because in the newer books he worked out back 
links to his Caves of Steel series.

Yup, I’ve just finished collecting and reading the entire series, and all
the original ‘Robot’ books too, very clever how, probably not originally by
design, he managed to to include most of these books into a chronological
sequence.

I’ve read the original trilogy a number of times, and the extra three books
a few too, by far my favourite all time reads.

I actually met Asimov some years ago when he wrote the words to a book 
of, IIRC, artists impressions of the Solar System based on the latest 
astronomical photos, I think including the Voyager material. Would have 
been around 1975 ish.

It's a thing a number of ageing SF authors have done with their bibliography -
retroactively merging continuities. Some work out better than others.

I was quite impressed by the trailer, hoping it works out well.

OK, really I should do an “if you can’t say anything nice.” but...

I didn’t like the trailer. Thought it was utterly the wrong tone - people 
looking like doom was appearing in the next second, people grimacing 
everywhere, they’ve already changed a number of the original characters and 
the whole thing seemed another exercise in “in the future, everyone has 
forgotten how to turn the lights bulbs up”.

Just thought the tone looked totally different to the books. I wish it well, 
but I really love the books so may not watch.

Cheers,
Ian

It looks like they've changed genders on at least one character, which 
is entirely reasonable. IIRC the early books (or just the first?) kept 
jumping forward in time which would require complete cast changes, so I 
wonder how they're going to deal with that?

Is Foundation included in the Apple TV+ service subscription 
or will you have to pay for it when it's released next year?  
I'm not clear as to exactly what the free year's subscription 
offer includes.

That’s a very good point of course. I had thought it was being advertised
as part of the TV+ service, but I’ll try and check that out.

It is included. As long as your free TV+ subscription lasts long enough.

Yeah, that’s the conclusion I came to as well. If the series is good
enough, I’d pay for the subscription long enough to watch it all (I assume
they’ll initially release it line episode a week, as they do on Netflix).

They released For All Mankind an episode a week, so ... well who knows 
but given Apple TV+'s relative dearth of material I'm sure they'll want 
to spread Foundation out a bit.

Yeah, it’s the lack of material that made me think it not such good value
as a service at the moment. I can see it being abandoned in the not too
distant future to be honest, it just isn’t coming anywhere near to Netflix
or Amazon Prime (even without the ‘unlimited’ extra subscription), as a
value for money service.

We did watch Greyhound this week, and enjoyed it, although I thought it was
a bit too heavy, and a bit low budget, on the CGI elements.
