The most recent episode lost me. I think the biggest problem with filming the books is that the cast turns over every chapter. The genetic dynasty, Hari's hologram, Gaal going into extended hibernation are perfectly viable plot devices to keep the audience interested. So is jazzing up the action Making Gaal psychic really lost me. And so is the portrayal of Hari's forecasts as being a plan that hinges on specific people. That's really contrary to the book. The whole point of psychohistory is that cultural and society trends are nearly unavoidable and the individuals and their actions are nearly irrelevant except at the crisis moments where he would pop in to give relevant advice to whoever was around to listen. Magic people whose destiny is woven into the universe is completely anathema to that theme. That's just boring Star Wars.
