“Foundation” thoughts, Season One, Episode Six: “Death and the Maiden”

Lee Pace shirtless. That’s it. That’s the review.

I kid, of course. If that were the review, I’d be out of a job real quick. But I do think opening with an Emperor Cleon shower scene tells us something important about Foundation: It understands that the Emperors are the most vibrant and appealing aspect of the story so far. Their sex appeal may not be the whole reason why, but it’s a part of it. Why not emphasize it?

I reviewed the sixth episode of Foundation for Decider.
