I am a bit confused about people complaining about the length of this in the comments. This channel makes longer explanatory + opinion content. That’s the style. 😂

I hope Pete doesn’t start shortening his recaps.

@CallowXayne 1 year ago

I really appreciate this super-cut of the episode breakdowns. It’s shorter than rewatching the whole season. Yet, in-depth enough to actually feel the story. I liked being able to relive some of the emotional beats of the season.

Thank you for this. Finding you made this just made my day. Very stoked. Also thank you. Now more than ever, please keep doing what you’re doing. Too many AI content channels covering everything. Your passion and knowledge and insight are excellent. Thank you, again.

I enjoyed season two a while ago and it was sooo nice to go through it again in a cliff notey kind of way. Brought back memories

@chiadikobi7995 1 year ago

Woo, I can't believe I watched the whole thing in one sitting. Great recap and kept my attention all the way through! So excited for the 3rd season!

@wandawonderer3991 1 year ago

Love the long recap, the added explanations and more details 👌 keep up the good work 🫶

@BonChanSama 1 year ago

Back after finishing this recap and it’s amazing. Thank you Pete! I’m ready for Season 3 🎉

This is m favorite channel and these recaps really have a balance of educating fans without spoiling the original content from the books. Please never stop I love these videos so much

Demerzel's goodbyes to Dusk and Dawn were so beautifully done. It really highlights that she CAN feel love. Even though she's programmed to "love" all the Cleons, it's clear that it takes certain forms for each. For Dawn and Dusk, she did see them each as her children. But for Day, she was willing to coldly abandon him because she was serving Empire, not him specifically, the entire time and thus didn't care about him as an individual.

Holy moly - thank-you incredibly for this. I'm so glad this exists - it was a slog, but a bloody good one. Great to feel I'm up to speed again, and won't be lost going into season 3. Gods work

I came to this series as non book reader. But I concluded alot of the same observations as in this video. I gotta say the universe of Foundation is amazing.

@noizW 1 year ago

Apple TV is the new HBO quality. I‘m so thankful for everything they produced and showed off this year.
Nearly every month a real good written and produced series - it’s like a well in the desert

@jonathangodin4775 1 year ago

This show is a very rare example of the creative liberties taken by the directors actually beiny amazing! Somehow the genetic dynasty is the most fascinating thing about this show and I am not saying it’s a bad show I actually like the show a lot

@neospectrus 1 year ago

This is the next best thing to rewatching the whole season. Thanks so much for taking the time to make this video.

@kobra666au 1 year ago

this and your season one recap are much appreciated.
now back to season 3.

@elijahforde8376 1 year ago

Great job! I had completely forgotten most of season 2 apparently. Also, I'm a fan of the long video. I know there are some other comments to the contrary.

Regarding the vault saving "all people" on Terminus. Think of it this way, just like every Terminus resident had personal aura bands, they also hand personal castling device. So vault teleported every human being
