Stars End: A Foundation Podcast

Stars End Podcast

We’re a group of middle-aged guys who loved this series as teenagers. In season one we finished revisiting the original trilogy in anticipation of the TeeVee show. Now that the show is here we won"t just be enjoying it, we"ll be bringing you our thoughts and predictions every week! Hopefully, through this podcast, we"ll bring you along for the ride. We want to do our part to bring this series to a new group of fans who are hopefully far more diverse than the three of us.

I think I need to listen to "Flowers in the Dirt" again. That's the 1989 Paul McCartney album where Sir Paul collaborated with Elvis Costello. I was hoping that Elvis might bring some of the sharper edges that John Lennon brought the Lennon-McCartney songwriting duo. No such luck as I recall but maybe 32 years farther on I'll hear something new. What brought that up? Well with Hari on the mend from his excursion to Upperside we've decided to take a quick break from Prelude to Foundation before we

Our second conversation about Prelude to Foundation, in which we discuss "Library," "Upperside," and "Rescue." It was 1-degree Fahrenheit when we recorded this episode. That's -17 Celcius to the rest of the world. I personally prepared for this episode by running around outside dressed as though I still lived in Florida or on Helicon, maybe. Then I rearranged all my bookshelves and wondered if I could create a model that would predict the future of the Marvel Universe. In these chapters, Hari gets

In the criminal justice system, the podcast is represented by two separate, but equally important kinds of seasons. The odd-numbered seasons, which directly discuss Asimov's Foundation and the even-numbered seasons that talk about the Apple TV+ series. So now we start the interregnum between seasons 1 and 2 of Apple TV's Foundation. That's our cue to start Stars End season 3. That's as many seasons as Gilligan's Island or the original Star Trek but far fewer than Law & Order. We're shooting for

It's the final episode of Season 2 where we wrap up our discussion of Season 1 of Foundation with the First Annual Stars End Hari Awards! Frankly, a lot of it is the three of us gushing about how good the episodes and the performances were. But more importantly, you get to find out who won! Best Performance! Favorite Episode! Favorite Podcast Guest! All the important Stuff. Not included: unimportant things like "Least Inspirational Quote," which must be "All love is programming." We couldn't have

We're all about to experience the teevee equivalent of empty nest syndrome. But not yet! There are two more episodes of Stars End for this season! There's this one, where we talk about Episode 10 and then there will be one more in about two weeks where we give an overview of Foundation's epic first season! Also a special guest!

You know. Spoilers and all that. In 1987 the Smiths released an excellent compilation album entitled "Louder than Bombs." It's the apotheosis of mope rock! In 2021 "Is it Really So Strange" that we would release a podcast episode called "Louder than Logic?" Even if none of us is named "Smith? But here's the thing: it fits. Gaal can feel the future in a way that might undermine psychohistory! That's Louder than Mathematics! Lewis was able to wish the Invictus back to Terminus! That's Louder than

If you're a Lee Pace fan, or "stan" as the kids say, or even an "aficionado" like they said back in my day, "The Missing Piece" may be for you! It's like the last temptation of Brother Day meets Dune with 100% fewer sandworms. That is to say, it's a lot of loincloths and wandering around in the desert. Damn sand gets in everything! PlusHari's still incorporeal, Gaal indulges in some casual vandalism, Salvor and Phara go on a trip, and Ethel the Aardvark goes quantity surveying. As usual, we talk

It's Halloween evening as I write this and the two biggest Sci-Fi franchises have new episodes out. The premiere of Star Trek Prodigy was last Thursday and the season opener for Doctor Who was this evening. But I have another venerable old franchise on my mind. Namely Twilight Zone. "Hey, kids! You want to see something really scary?!?" Well, "scary" probably isn't the right word for "Mysteries and Martyrs" but I think some of us found it a little unsettling. Still, there are lots of big questions

There are a lot of things happening in Episode 6, "Death and the Maiden." Beware! The spoilers are probably even more densely packed than usual. "The spoiler-space may even be compact," he said mathematically. What a difference a week makes! We described Episode 5 as a "bridge" episode. In episode 6, there's stuff going on right and left! Actually, maybe even in 2, 3, or, 4 dimensions! This cries out for an "Age of Aquarius" joke, but I don't have one. Any help? Politics! Religion! Explosions! Big

That whole ordeal didn't seem pleasant at all! What isn't rude is our conversation this week, about Foundation's Episode 5, "Upon Awakening," it's better than being roused by a thunderstorm, a smoke alarm, or a cat licking your face. And this will really shake you out of your slumber! We've got a very special episode for you

William Shatner is about to be shot into space. He may want to stay there when he sees how Lee Pace updates the "Kirk can break a computer just by talking to it" shtick. Spoilers, of course. If you haven't, go watch the episode. Or listen first, it's entirely up to you. Things are really starting to cook now and we'll have our usual free-wheeling conversation!

In this episode we'll be talking about "the Mathematician's Ghost," episode 3 of Foundation. But don't worry! No mathematicians were harmed in the filming of this episode... for a change. But we do get some insight into the genetic trinity that rules the Empire, watch as the Foundationers arrive on Terminus, and thrill to a cliffhanger as the Anacreonians have landed on Terminus, once

The naysayers said it would never happen and that our plucky little podcast would never see a second season! Yet here we are defying the laws of Psychohistory, renewed and ready for the advent of the Apple TV+ series in roughly 24 to 48 hours. That will be our focus for season 2. We’ve been waiting with bated breath and our patience (or lack thereof) is about to be rewarded!

Hello, again folks! It's 8/8 (or if you write dates the European way 8/8) and here we are with Episode 8. We're quite proud, we now officially have just as many episodes as Manimal! Imagine! For those of you tracking our milestones, eight is a very round number: It's "10" in base eight, "20" in base four, and "1000" in base two. Soon, once we're past the Manimal barrier, we'll quickly approach an actual, genuine round number. In base ten even. Tom Lehrer tells us that "Base eight is just like base

Even though we had some technical difficulties (our sound quality isn't up to our usual standards; our apologies) it's a great episode! It's great in part because it's different!
