With Season 3, the Apple TV+ science fiction epic, Foundation, is getting both bigger and more granular at the same time. In the second episode of Season 3, “Shadows in the Math,” we once again dive deep into the machinations of the clone Emperors, the Cleon dynasty, also known simply as “Empire.” (No “the” required.)
More than any other season, Foundation Season 3 has flipped the script on how each of the three clones behaves, and in this episode, two late-in-the-game revelations change the course of the story in ways that could not be predicted, even if the prescient sci-fi math of psychohistory worked.
