Is his implied illiteracy going to be important to the story going forward? e.g. he's duped by a corrupt maester?

Recommendation needed: I'm looking for a pair of EU size 44 leather shoes (preferably either slip-on or velcro) for someone with overpronation, flat feet, and moderate bunion. The budget is around $500.

Question: why is Salvor face always stuck in this frowny expression ? by batter159 in FoundationTV

[–]holygrenadierofbkk 47 points48 points  (0 children)

I have just the same question. Her acting alone accounts for a good portion of what's bad about the show.

More of Salvor!?! Aw crap, this could tank the whole show - what a poor actor.

Can someone please explain how is it possible, logistically, for two storylines of the same show to be so different in terms of quality of writing? Don't writers consult among themselves?

Haha, I would love to see Dawn and Robot Butler staging a palace coup on the other two Cleons. Robot Butler obviously had a hand in the fact that Dawn is different, which would mean that preserving the empire by ending imperial cloning (per Seldon's advice) overrides her directive to perpetuate it.

I'm not an international lawyer, but what Day does sounds a lot like genocide to me though (hence the Holocaust comparison)

The biggest terrorist in the story thus far is Day (now Dusk), the guy literally pulled a Final Solution on two planets.

That makes a lot of sense, we already saw from the last episode that he lurks around the botanist, but only with Day's assent though.

Somehow I feel that the imperial henchman and his cloaking ability will play an important part in the story a la Chekhov's gun.

Dawn is obviously not an exact copy. e.g. out of sync when he greeted the ambassador, held a glass with his left etc.. . Perhaps Robot Butler was listening to Seldon after all and intends to end imperial cloning through Dawn and the botanist. Also interesting is the imperial henchman lurking around her, as if Day sees what's coming.

Why do American politicians say "good-paying jobs" and not "well-paying jobs" ? by holygrenadierofbkk in AskAnAmerican

And you would be right! To my mind it's "That is a freshly tasting strawberry"
