Goyer also teases Season 3 and The Mule, and what could happen in future seasons.
The Big Picture When it comes to science fiction, with a heavy emphasis on science and robots, Isaac Asimov is really one of the forefathers of that genre and subgenre. As the man who was a trailblazer in discussing robotics and artificial intelligence, we can credit Asimov with influencing the very shape of our reality today. From the three laws of robotics to the impact of the Foundation series, Asimov's prolific writing has an indelible impact on our society. So when showrunners David S.
DAVID GOYER: Well, I mean, as Robyn is well aware, probably the trickiest thing about adapting her father's work, particularly because this book is really an omnibus of short stories where you don't have a lot of continuing characters, it's trying to work around the anthological nature of particularly the first book.
ROBYN ASIMOV: No, they weren't. And it was hard for them to even go forward beyond the initial idea of bringing in all the stories that were spoken about offline, and making it more action-oriented. But people really couldn't get beyond that. So, what you've done is almost a miracle in my mind. Honestly, Laura Birn is just amazing as Demerzel, and the way that she plays that character, it does feel very, very human to me. Especially the way she connects with religion and things like that. I think it's really well done. But I just have to touch on some of these big twists at the end of the season, especially that you guys killed Salvor, which I don't think I saw coming. I thought eventually it would happen.
And then to have that not be written in stone, I think is surprising for the audience and emotional for the audience. But her sacrifice also is kind of a gift because it means that that future now can no longer happen, it means that there's possibility. There's a possibility, not just for Gaal, there's a possibility for the plan even in the wake of The Mule showing up. That there's possibility.
And that's what was exciting and brilliant about what your father had done Robyn, because The Mule could not be predicted. The Mule was this outlier. The other thing that I'm excited about for Season 3 is when you introduce a character like that, that is such an existential threat to Foundation to Second Foundation to Empire, it creates an opportunity for some uneasy or unusual alliances between these different factions that would not normally happen.
GOYER: I like to dabble in shades of gray. So there's no question that Sareth is attempting to sometimes awkwardly manipulate Dawn, and really all the genetic dynasty this season. She's trying her best. She's fairly canny, but she's also very young. I think she's doing her damnest to manipulate Dawn, but I also think she likes Dawn genuinely. I think it can be both.
ASIMOV: I love the character development. That was not my father's strong suit, and not necessarily his interest per se. It was all about the storytelling, and he did that so well that it was okay that the characters were a bit flat. What David did was especially, I love the Cleon story. He gave life to these characters, and it brought the story to another level. The story was great anyway, but I think if, if my father had lived to see this, I think he would have been very, very impressed.
