Get the scoop on Foundation from writer and executive producer; David S. Goyer. He joins Jim and A.Ron to chat about theories, listener questions, and behind the scenes stories. Get the answers to your burning questions on Demerzel, casting, ship design, navigating Asimov’s universe, and more! Stay tuned, Goyer reports there are big things to come!
After another great episode, Jim and A.Ron have theories to present. What is real? What’s on Jared Harris’ head? Can we trust Hari? That soft focus is looking pretty suspicious. Anyone else getting flashbacks to Westworld? Dip your toes into this episode of Foundation and Podcast.
Season 2 is all wrapped up, tune in to hear your thoughts and feedback as Jim and A.Ron discuss the season. How are your favorite hosts feeling about Strange New Worlds? What were their favorite episodes? And catch their hopes and dreams for season 3 of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds and beyond.
Day’s actions are attracting attention from Dawn and Dusk. Hari and Salvor are making moves. Can they figure out what the signal means? With the exciting potential of having David Goyer stop by on the pod, you can check out Goyer’s Reddit thread here.
The Gorn are on their way to becoming a classic Star Trek villain. But what are they up to? These don’t seem to be the same Gorn La’an encountered. Grab a lizard fighting weapon and sound the horn of Cayuga, the crew is riding into battle in this season finale.
Hari Seldon’s actions are increasingly suspicious. Psychohistory doesn’t care about love. People are going on conflicting missions. We find out more about the Prime Radiant, but still don’t understand what our solar system is doing here. And Jim and A.Ron are really hoping that Adam Savage is watching this show because he needs to make some of these props.
It’s a musical episode that is out of this world, literally! A.Ron loved it, Jim hated it. But both agree that Pelia is annoying. Jim and A.Ron had some predictions on which cast members would make good singers…find out if they were right! And somebody please stop Spock from taking a red pill.
What makes for a satisfying ending? In “ABQ” we meet Mike Ehrmentraut when he gets a devastated Jesse prepared to call in Jane’s death, Walt gets his tumor removed before Skyler confronts him and asks him to leave, and Donald mourns the loss of his daughter before we see where all of those black and white teasers were heading when Wayfarer 515 crashes above the White household. The finale works as a conclusion that ties up so much of what the season has asked us to think about while setting things up for the future. The satisfaction it provides feels like a reward for paying attention.
It’s hard to tell what is real and what is an elaborate hologram. What is going on with Hari Seldon? First he’s not leaving footprints (very cool effects), and later found unconscious. And we have a reunion that isn’t as joyous as one might think. But reality is hard to trust here. Listen to the podcast, this is what the Prime Radiant requires.
It is a right of passage for each sci-fi series to do a “war” episode. Ortegas is not happy about the ship’s new guest, the guest being the Klingon war criminal Rah. Known as the “Butcher”, Rah’s presence on the Enterprise triggers PTSD in Dr. M’Benga. Get to know more of M’Benga’s backstory in this excellently written episode of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds.
