Foundation season 1 episode 1 - 2 breakdown. Deep dive recap & review of the Apple TV+ series adapted from Asimov’s book series. Please Subscribe - http://bit.ly/PetePeppers

The first season of Foundation released episodes 1 and 2 together for the series premiere. In two hour-plus episodes, we were introduced to Isaac Asimov’s galactic empire. Episode 1 was titled “The Emperor’s Peace” and visits the planets Trantor, Terminus, and Synnax. We are introduced to Salvor Hardin (Leah Harvey), Hari Seldon (Jared Harris), Gaal Dornick (Lou Llobell), and Raych (Alfred Enoch). The empire is ruled by the genetic dynasty of three clones of Cleon I. From youngest to oldest, Brother Dawn (Cassian Bilton), Brother Day (Lee Pace), Brother Dusk (Terrence Mann). Gaal and Hari are arrested and eventually exiled to Terminus to continue working with Psychohistory and set up the Foundation.

In episode 2 the emperor is investigating the attack on the Star Bridge. When he turns up nothing he punishes the two outer worlds of Anacreon and Thespis. Killing most of their delegations, and bombing their planets. Hari, Gaal, and Raych have set out for Terminus on a slow ship on a trip that will take more than four years. Season 1 Episode 2 is titled "Preparing to live".

At the end of the premiere, Hari is killed by his adoptive son in a shocking moment. Gaal is then sent away in a pod that appears to be for hibernation. The ship is still continuing to start the Foundation, but the trajectories of the main characters have all changed. This is a bit of a cliffhanger but we explain the setup and the ending as it happened.

The official Foundation TV Logline from Apple:
When revolutionary Dr. Hari Seldon predicts the impending fall of the Empire, he and a band of loyal followers venture to the far reaches of the galaxy to establish The Foundation in an attempt to rebuild and preserve the future of civilization. Enraged by Hari's claims, the ruling Cleons – a long line of emperor clones – fear their grasp on the galaxy may be weakening as they’re forced to reckon with the potential reality of losing their legacy forever.
