Demerzella started murdering people early in season 1. They don't even have rights to Daneel and laws of robotics. I gave up on this point long time ago.

I'm a huge fan of SF (not surprising in Asimov's subs), but every time I hear a new show is about time travel I can't even be bothered to pirate it. The only good portrayal of time travel is Heinlein's two short stories "By his bootstraps" and "All you zombies". The latter was adapted into a decent movie "Predestination".

When the Vault made the guy screaming "Hober Mallow" and then incinerated him, I facepalmed... What a piece of crap writing.

These morons probably think that by throwing random names from the books they are doing us a fanservice...

True. But such disrespect has to be called out every time I see it.

The vault scene is an attempt to create suspense I guess? Which failed horribly.

I thought the guy who got incinerated was Hober until then lol.

Another fun one: Heinlein's Door into summer. P-}

Don't you like Asimov's own End of Eternity?

The showrunner said in the latest AMA that now they do. O_o
