There is a sense of doom throughout the season-two finale ofFoundation.
Turns out, this was all part of Seldons plan.
Every spacer on the fleet dies, but their sacrifice saves their entire species.
However, in a clever switcheroo, Rose activates the mini-teleporter and trades places with the Emperor.
In a way, Currs wishes did come true.
They did rebel against Empire, and they won.
Of course, the news of Days death and the destruction of the fleet dont make Demerzel very happy.
Making matters worse, she still has to deal with Rue and Dusk figuring out her secret.
She hates Cleon for twisting their history, for mixing his coercion with communion and her captivity for love.
She confesses to having hired the assassins, all so she could frame Sareth and have her executed.
Her programming prevented her from supporting Days marriage, but she couldnt voice her concern.
Dusk, resigned to his fate, tells Demerzel that none of them were ever free.
He forgives her and hugs her.
Later, she tells Dawn about Sareth, who is charged with treason.
Realizing hes in mortal danger, Dawn escapes Trantor with Sareth, who is pregnant with his child.
Of course, Demerzel does not let that be the end of the Cleonic dynasty.
She thaws out three new Cleons at the same time, which has never happened before.
Is this the start of R. Daneel Olivaw?
Or the start of something else, a villain stronger than anyone on the show will have dreamed of?
That remains to be seen.
But even with Tellem Bond dead, they are not out of danger yet.
As she dies, she calls out to her mom.
It means were not trapped, she tells her.
The future can be saved and Gaal can get it back on the right course.
Utterly devastated, Gaal tries to make sense of the sacrifice.
She needs it to mean something.
Individuals matter because we say they do, because they help the rest of us go forward.
Seldon wouldnt have continued his work without Yanna.
And as we ride to certain death, we trust our successors to do the same for us.
They will awake once a year for the next century, until they are ready to face the Mule.
The Second Foundation has officially begun.
This was always the plan.
Terminus sacrificed so the foundation would survive.
It is a bit absurd and silly, but it is also very cathartic and fun to watch.
And with that, season two ofFoundationis done.
This has been a fantastic season of TV and a vast improvement over the first season.
I hope we get many more because theres one more thing.
We jump forward in time, 152 years later!
He will find her before she finds her.
He has to destroy her even if he has to burn everything to do it.
We have ourselves one hell of a villain for season three.
The Prime Radiant
Until the end, Constant and Hober were a delight together.
In her final moments, she lashes at him for denying her a martyrs death.
She asks Hober if he still wants to know her real name and says it is Hope.
Of course, she is lying, but wouldnt that be a cool reveal?
