Here's hoping. Although I'm not sure how well it'll be received, given that (IIRC) there's not a single explosion in the entire series. It might be interesting

Here's hoping. Although I'm not sure how well it'll be received, given that (IIRC) there's not a single explosion in the entire series.
It might be interesting if they went in more of a direction of "House Of Cards In Space" rather than "Game Of Thrones In Space".
- ohjeez 9y agoI cannot imagine how anyone could possibly adapt that tale and have it work. I would love to be wrong though.
- ianai 9y agoAs I recall, violence was often threatened but avoided. They might make plenty of tension that way.
- dep_b 9y agoThere was a point where the old empire was advancing on the Foundation only to have their general recalled at the moment of total triumph to prevent the general from taking over power after returning victorious. Also the expansion phase against the barbarian kingdoms wasn't completely bloodless. But the wars and conquests were never really explicit, more described as a historian would describe it as it would happen in the Roman Empire.
- TheCoelacanth 9y agoFoundation and Empire has two wars in it so there would be plenty of potential for explosions. The actual fighting isn't described much in the book, but I doubt that a TV adaptation would treat it the same way.
