Imagine, if you will, that someone got the rights to Lord of the Rings and then made a series about Sam Gamgee and his wife Rose. This is how this feels to me. I adored the original Foundation Series for all its faults and even liked the later works that added to the mythos. This has nearly zero connection thus far to the source material and that is why I am asking 'Why Foundation?"
The production value is gorgeous, the acting is sublime, the romance is rather CW, but nonetheless engaging so why drag Harry Seldon out of his Hugo Award winning vault if you aren't going to tell us the story? The producers could just as easily called it "Game of Galaxies" or "Love in the Stars" and we probably would have watched it right after "The Flash".
By slapping a fake label with such high credibility on what is, objectively, "good, not great", entertainment you have only brought out a group of people who would never have trashed your beautiful but banal endeavor and perhaps seen considerably less backlash.
That said, if you don't know the original works of Asimov it is watchable. Just whatever you do, don't read the books after this. You will be sorely disappointed.

After seeing RV, I went to this film expecting to waste 10 bucks with nothing to show for it but popcorn butter stains on my pants, however I must say that this is the best Robin Williams comedy in over a decade! A fabulous mixture of tried and true actors and top of the line comedic talent bring to light the polarization of the American political system without boring us to death with a lot of trivia. Christopher Walken is spectacular and lends validity to the film that might have limped along without it while Louis Black, while subdued in a minor role, stands out with some of the funniest one-liners in the film. Not being a Laura Linney fan I was still moved by her performance and the only thing that kept my rating from being a 10 is that occasionally the plot began to take itself too seriously. If you want a good time, I highly recommend this film, but watch out for the popcorn butter!
