The title comes from the article, but I agree with some of these changes. It’s making for an engaging show that also feels modern.

    That is in the books too. It’s called a “Seldon crisis”, where the Foundation has only one possible way forward as means of keeping it close to the original plan.

      But the Seldon Crises don’t depend on the coin toss of whether or not they manage to infiltrate a stronghold and deactivate the thingamajig kajigger in the next fifteen minutes.

        It’s been a while since I’ve read them, but as I remember, the entire definition of a crisis is some moment that depends on a coin toss or some individual acting correctly. The books narrate exactly the moments where there can exist some heroes.

        They are just calmer than the series.
